for the payment OF income and excess
profits taxes due on that date, is the
decision of Daniel c. Roper, commits
sioner of internal revenue. The an
nouncement was made by Collector E.
B. Craig Immediately following the
approval of the conferees on the new
revenue bill.
1T is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March To-" says
Commissioner Roper mo other course
is possible. Some months ago the
treasury issued certificates of indebt.
edness to san amount approximating
s700, 100000, maturing March Is, The
first payment of the income and excess
profits taxes for 1918 was planned for
that date, to meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there Is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is another emer-
gency which can be overcome by CO.
operative effort. The bureau extends
its every force toward this end, and |
am relying upon the people to meet
this situation whole-heartedly.
"The internal revenue bureau must
carry out the programme prescribed in
the new law, which requires all re-
turns for 1918 TO be filed on or before
March Is. 1919, and requires the first
quarterly payment or the entire pay
ment to be made on or before that
date.
Every taxpayer who can possibly do
so is urged to make full payment Of
his income tax ON or before March Is.
The quarterly payment method is in
tended for taxpayers whose financing
of the tax at one time would tend to
upset local financial conditions.
