Bureau of Internal Reuenue to Wage
War on WilBul Tax Euaders

Millions of dollars in delinquent
taxes and penalties will be collected
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue
as the result of general tax drive
which will reach every section of
the country.
Special attention will be directed
to the collection of the excise tax
on sales by manufacturers, the So
called luxury tax. the jewelry tax,
the tax on toilet articles and pro-
prietary medicines. the soft drink
tax and the admission tax.
Reports that many dealers and
other persons responsible for the
return and collection of miscellan-
eous taxes are failing in their duty
have reached the Bureau from many
sources.
Preliminary to the nationwide in
vestigation to insure a proper ac-
counting, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue William NJ. Williams has
summoned to Washington for b.
special course of instruction a corps
of revenue officers experienced in
the handling of sales taxes. These
men will head flying squadrons"
which will visit every large city i'm
the United States. Their directions
are to conduct a thorough and ef-
fective campaign. using such meth
DDS as will bring to justice willful
evaders ard cause no emparrasc.
ment to persons who. honestly are
endeavoring to comply with the
law.
Through the failure of retailers
to collect in full the tax on toilet
articles and medicinal preparations
IL is estimated the government is
losing several millions of dollars
annually. This tax of 1 cent for
each 25 cents or fraction thereof of
the amount for which the article is
solo is collected by means of stamps
ranging in denomination from l to
40 cents. The law provides that the
stamp shall be affixed by the dealer
and cancelled. Failure to cancel.the
stamp is punishable. upon convic-
ton. by a fine of not more than
800. Additional penalties of a nne
of not more than $1,000 for willful
refusal to collect and pay the tax
are provided. together with an add
ed assessment equal to the amount
of tax evaded. Employers, dealers.
officers of a corporation or mem
bers of partnership whose duty IL
Is to collect the tax are alike sub
ject to these penalties. Careful sur
vey will be made of establishments
selling toilet articles and medicinal
preparations, and employers advised
to instruct their employees in the
laws and regulations governing the
collection of the tax on such sales.
Persons who are negligent in the
matter of collecting the tax. or VINO
refuse to bother with revenue
stamps" will be made to realize
their delinquency.
Recent arrests in New York and
Chicago of theater ticket brokers
and persons charged with failure to
account for admission taxes will
be followed by similar prosecutions
in other cities. Reports from Chica-
go arr that $50 theaters and NOV
ing picture houses failed to make
proper monthly returns of admis-
sion taxes.
The purpose of the drive will be
one of education as well as enforce
ment. Where. prior to government
investigation, amended returns are
filed accompanied by evidence TO
show that the delinquency is due to
no wrongful intent the policy Of
the Bureau will be one Of leniency.

EFFECT OF SUPREME COURTS
DECISION ON READING co.

The refusal of the Supreme Court
to modify directions to district
court expressed in it's Reading de-
cision of April 26. as requested by
counsel for the defendant compan-
les. will apparently result in de-
cree completely separating tnu
Reading Company from the Railway
Company, the Coal and Iron Com
pany. the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey and the Lehieh and Wilkes
Earre Coal Company. and each of
these from any and all of the 9TH
ers.
The motion. which the Supreme
Court denied, contended that 1t was
desirable to maintain existence of
joint obligation of the Reading
Company and Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company IN
tho form of a general mortgage,
and that purposes expressed by the
opinion of the court would seem to
be capable of accomplishment with
out impairing the integrity of the
Reading Company by continued
holding in Reading Company Of the
stock of either Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company or
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company.

STOCK MARKET
HOLDS UP WELL
Retains Firmness in Spite
Of Many Depress-
ing Influences.
MONEY AGAIN HIGH
Chicago and Northwestern
Reduction Furnishes Sur
prise of Day.

New York, June s. = Stocks held
remarkably firm today in view of
the many depressing influences that
developed Money. went to 10 per
cent on call. the Chicago and North
western Railroad reduced its divi-
dend, silver broke 10 cents an ounce
and six pence in London, and after
the market closed the government
report on spring wheat showed a
very bad condition far under the ten
year average. The Street was so
anxious for something of con-
structive nature that 1t utilized the
decision of the Supreme Court rem
deredr the previous day. deciding
that the court could not upset its
own decision in the reading case.
A break of 10 points in Chicago
and Northwestern unsettled the
whole market for a time but stocks
came back so that material changes
were not important. The close was
steady.
Reduction of the Chicago and
Northwestern dividend was some
thing of a surprise. Shortly before
noon it was rumored in the Street
that the dividend would be cut. but
nobody seemed to take 1t seriously
until the official announcement was
made. Altogether the stock had a
10-point break, common and pre-
ferred going down together for both
dividends were cut. This action is
almost revolutionary. The company
has a profit and loss surplus of
about $4,000. 900 and in normal
money market would have continued
the regular dividend. But the rail-
road people are discouraged over the
slow action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the pretend
ed dehation of credit that Is under
way makes il impossible to borrow
temporary money on decent terms
even for a decent purpose.
