WAR TAX RETURNS
The Government After ViOlatOrs
and Will Make a Thorough
Check

Ice cream and soft drink parlors in
Milwaukee are going through
checking process of all war tax re-
turns. This is to be followed by a
complete checking on all war taxes
collected on admissions to theatres and
other places of amusements. This is
said to be only a starter of what is
to be conducted throughout the state
by the internal revenue department.
Criminal action will follow where
it is found that funds are knowingly
being withheld by the collectors. The
law reads:
ANY person who deliberately fails
to turn over to the government the
money collected by him in the form of
war taxes is laying himself open to
prosecution for embezzlement. and the
maximum penalty will be asked in
any such cases found here" Mr.
Spraugue said.
The revenue act of 1918 provides
that "any person who fails to pay the
tax is liable to a penalty of 1000.
If he willfully refuses TO pay or will
fully attempts to evada the tax, he
is also liable to a fine of $4,000 and
costs, and to Imprisonment for one
year"
81 believe that the majority of cases
in which war taxes have not been
turned over. or proper returns not
made, are due to ignorance or misin-
depreciation of the law" said Mr..
Sprague.
Record Is Required
Former saloonkeepers who have re-
modelled their places into soft drink
parlOrs, apparently have an impress
sion that they are not required to col
lect war tax on the things they serve.
They are not compelled to do so on
any soft drink sold in the original con-
tainer, but they are on all drinks or
dishes mixed in their places.
THE law requires that an accurate
record be kept of all war taxes col
lected in such places. Many proprie-
tors are not keeping such accounts, al
though it is in their own interest to do
so. This office wants to give every
advice and assistance possible to help
every one meet the requirements.
" Unless such records are kept, it
will be necessary for the department. to
levy tax on the basis of bulk ma
terials purchased by each place.
Would Lose Advantage
IF this is done, it will be impossible
to give the retailer advantage of bulk
sales. on which he is not required to
collect a war tax"
Under a ruling just issued by the
internal revenue department, the tax
on proprietary preparations must be
paid on the basis of each article sold.

break occurs at the bolt Of the
spring.
This bolt holds the leaves to-
gether at the center. or near the
center. The bolt head coming
through the bottom of the spring
rests in a depression or a hole in
the spring seat which is part of the
axle. II the spring is allowed to
move relative to the axle, that is.
if it is not well clipped to the axle,
the bolt will tend TO bend. and this
tendency causes the main leaf or
others as we'll to crack on line
with the center bolt. The owner
ought to tighten the spring clips al
least once each month, for II is the
work of these clips to keep the
spring firmly in place against the
axle.
Spreading Prevented.
The so-caIled rebound clips or
bands around the spring leaves are
designed to prevent the leaves
from spreading. II one leaf is al
lowed to wo.k away from the
others, these must do a little extra
work, and sometimes they cannot
stand this work. hence breakage
results. Rebound clips ought 10
be frightened in place occasionally.
Spring squeaks and spring knocks
are caused by wear and lack of
fabrication. The spring knock is
always in the shaCkle. and may be
caused by a worn bolt or by side
play in the shackle. on rough
roads It is very difficult to find this
noise because it is so loud that a
spring shackle is not suspected
When a spring breaks it does not
pay to weld the broken leaves. A
new spring ought to be installed.
AMI not by a blacksmith but by the
service station of the car maker or
spring manufacturer. The black
smiths spring will be found to be
too hard or too soft. In the for
mer case it will soon break, in the
latter it will soon become a dead"
spring and cause sagging on the
side on which it is mounted.
