"With Approximately three weeks
left in which individuals have to file

a vigorous investigation of all delin-
'quents who failed to file their returns
on OF before March rs, 1920.
81 take this opportunity to notify
ali persons liable to make return that
the full penalties, which are severe,
will be invoked in every case.
"The Income-taX law has been in
existence long enough for individuals
TO understand its primary require
ments with reference to filing returns
and the collectors office will be con-
strained to enforce all penalties pro-
vided in the law against all persons
who have for any reason failed or re-
fused to file their returnsN on or be,
fore the due date.
"Trouble and annoyance can be saw
ed to all persons, and to the Govern
ment as well, if all taxpayers liable
to make returns will do so at once"
