WAR TAX WITHHELD
ON ADJUSTMENTS
5000 Houses Under Charge.
Government Will En-
force Payment.

Internal revenue collectors were in
structed today TO begin campaign
to force the payment of admissions
taxes collected by theaters and mo-
tion picture houses. Reports to the
Treasury Department were declared
to reveal that probably 5000 such
amusement places had failed to turn
in the taxes collected from patrons.
Investigations by the internal reve-
nue. bureau were said by Commis-
sioner Williams to show that ticket
scalpers" are profiteering in the sale
of theater tickets by addition of the
war taxes which they are putting
into their own pockets. thus defraud-
ing both the government and the
purchasers
Mr.. Williams ordered prosecution in
every case where investigation show
ed willful refusal of the theatrical in
terests to pay the tax.
The bureau in its, campaign against
the ticket scalpers will urge the i'm
position of extreme penalties in every
case discovered.
In this connection Mr.. Williams ad-
vised the theatergoing public to OBJ
serve whether the tickets are prop
erly stamped as to the admissions
tax together with the name of the
vendor and the box Office price.

Today there is for us and many other
peoples neither peace nor war. There
is not only the unrest which is the
natural heritage Of war. but the uncer-
tainty and added difficulties which ex-
1St because of our failure officially to
conclude peace. The whole world
waits upon US and is afflicted with
srayS doubts and hesitation. Produc-
tive programs of all sorts are funda-
mentally affected and disturbed condi-
tons furnish agitators favorable op-
portunities for conducting vicious
propaganda. Obviously, the existing
state of things makes for Ineffective
ness of national life in every direction
and the persistence. and, perhaps eA-
pansion, of present burdens and sac
rificeS. Certainly our burdens and
problems would be sufficiently difficult
to meet if peace were secured and we
could devote our energies exclusively 70
their adjustment.
Board and the Treasury have SUM-
ciently difficult tasks to discharge
without the interference of partisans or
unintelligent opposition.
Says Facts Are Mixeonstrued.
"Ninth. Democracy is difficult
enough thing if the people have the
facts and nothing but the facts pre-
sented 10 them with the most I'M
partial Interpretation. If we had the
facts. and nothing but the facts. there
would still be difference of opinion
and ample reason for the existence of
parties. But it seems to me that
democracy is going to have very
hard shedding if we are to have gov
eminent by Misrepresentation. Ger
tainly some of our most widely read
papers are giving US not news but
partisan impressions of what they de-
sire the news to be. j wish ii were
possible for every newspaper to con-
celve itself as a great public utlllty
and to be committed to the policy OF
seeking the facts and presenting them
In the most impartial manner pos
sible. | wish also that our people
would tolerate only leaders who have
the ability and the inclination to get
the facts. to interpret them hon
estiy and courageously to present
their conclusions to the people. l
large percentage of present leaders
out of fashion. but the nation could
survive their retirement.
Tenth Many problems lie before
US. They will require the best thought
OF our most patriotic. enlightened
and impartial leaders. j am not pes
simistic as TO the outcome. In spite
of my somewhat long residence In
Washington. am still something of
an optimist. an optimist perhaps by
temperament and certainly by some
reading of history This world and
this nation have gone through many
troubles in their time. Civilizations
have risen and fallen apparently, and
somehow the world continues to get
just a little furher ahead. Much of
Europe is only now emerging from
the shadow of medievalism. There is
little doubt that the recent disturb
ance will give it an impetus along
rlodern lines and that it will move
forward. slowly perhaps and haltngly.
but still forward to higher and better
sainEs with larger recognition Of the
average man and a fuller life for all"
