TAXPAYERS SLOW
In Paying Income Tax.

The Collector Of Internal Revenue
at Louisville. Ky, on February 20.
1920. issued the following state
ment with reference to the small
number Of Income-tax returns be-
ing filed this year:
With approximately three weeks
left in which individuals have to
file their lncome-tax returns for
the year 1919, IL is obvious from
the small number Of returns filed in
this office up TO the present time
that this will be the banner year
for delinquents.
Realizing this fact ! will. on the
10th Of March. be compelled to start
a vigorous investigation Of all de
delinquents who failed TO ile their
returns on or before March 10. 1920.
II take this opportunity to notify
all persons liable to make return
that the full penalties. which are Sc
we're. will be invoked in every case.
The lncome-tax law has been
in existence long enough for indi-
viduals to understand It's primary
requirements with reference 10 filing
returns. and the Collectors office
will be constrained TO enforce all
penalties provided in the law against
al persons who have for any reason
failed or refused to file the returns
m or before the due date.
Trouble and annoyance can be
saved to all persons, and to the Gov
eminent As well. II all taxpayers
