This is the time OF year when the
major league directors are sounding

Brooklyn's main source of strength,
are waiting curiously to see if young

A SIMPLE Law NEEDED.

Statements from internal revenue agents that
many income tax returns must be returned 1of
amendment do not necessarily imply any de-
hberate misdolng on the part OF the taxpayers
The trouble, rather, is traceabe to the tact that
the law in some of its important sections Is be-
yond the comprehension OF even expert account
ants Often the best that can be done is TO
guess what congress meant to say, and on more
than one occasion, ii is understood, government
experts themselves have been unable to give
satisfactory answers to the questions OF the per-
picked public.
Some idea of the ambiguity of the law may be
formed from the reported experience OF busl-
nessman in another state who engaged three
good lawyers to fill out his blank. Three diff
lferent results were submitted, and when the re-
turns were presented to the federal officials no
one of them was able to how that any OF the
interpretations Were incorrect. The collector
avoided responsibility by accepting the return
which showed the largest amount coming to the
government. Another case is that OF member
of the presidents cabinet He Is lawyer ana
had the assistance of second lawyer, yet the
return had to be sent back for amendment, the
error being to an amount of nearly five hundred
dollars Such reports of the troubles OF those
whose business it is to know the law lnd1cate
that the average man, who Is not accustomed
to complicated accounts, has hard task cut out
for him.
What is needed is thorough revision OF the
statute by men who appreciate the value OF
simplicity and straig ghtforwardness In language.
The income tax has now been collected for sew
ieral years. and it would seem that congress had
had time enough for remedying the crudltles OF
the law as at first enacted. But no adequate
attempt appears to have been made toward nd
ding it of sections which can be construed IN
/ two or more ways and benefit nobody but the
tax experts who collect fees for doing or at
| tempting to do what the taxpayer OF ordinary
Intelligence ought to be able to accomplish
without assistance The senator OF representa-
tive in congress who presents an income tax law
which can be understood by the majority OF tax
payers is certain Of having the gratitude OF mil
lions of his fellow American citizens.
