THE TAX DoDGER


The federal commissioner of inte--
nal revenue said the other day that
more than $20,0OO.OO0 was added to
the governments revenues during
the fiscal year just ended through re-
coveries from false and fraudulent
tax returns.
1t is stated that indictments have
peen returned in every section of the
country and that many persons have
peen sent to prison.
The announcement of these facts
is, of course, to be regretted, but the
country will be glad to know that
the officials of the revenue DEPART
ment are not asleep and are on the
trails of those who are seeking to
evade the laws.
The income tax law is the law Of
the land and must be held in respect
by all, regardless of their views as to
its justice.
The income tax should bear equally
upon all and operate for the benefit
of all. Let there be equal rights
for all and special privileges for
none."
