Jimmy. "The other day when the

"as a matter of fact engineers have

TREASURY ISSUES
WARNING TO ALL

WASHINGTON. June so.-The
Treasury Department has issued its
annual warning to tax dodgers. an
nouncing that flying squadrons,"
organized to canvass for end prose-
cute delinquents. will be under way
about the middle OF July. Special
attention will be paid to the collec-
ton OF the excise tax on sales by
manufacturers, the tax on transpor-
tatlon. the so-called luxury tax, and
the taxes on jewelry, toilet articles,
proprietary medicines, soft drinks
and admissions to amusements. Mil
lions of dollars in delinquent taxes.
IL is estimated by the officials OF the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue. will be
brought in as the result of the drive.
1t is the belief OF the Bureau,
based upon information now in the
handc of Commissioner David II.
Blair, that the failure OF retailers TO
collect in full the tax on toilet ar
ticles and medicinal preparations is
costing the government millions OF
dollars annually. The tax OF one
cent for each twenty-five cents or
fraction thereof OF the amount OF
sale Is collected by means OF stamps.
The law provides that the stamp
shall be affixed by the dealers and
Cancelled.
Failure to cancel the stamp is
punishable. upon conviction, by a
fine Of not more than 500. Addi-
tional penalties of a fine OF not more
than $1,000 for failure and not more
than $4,000 for wilful refusal to
collect and pay the tax are provided
together with an added assessment
equal to the amount OF tax evaded.
A survey will be made OF establish
ments selling toilet articles and
medicinal preparations, and en-
ployers advised to instruct their
employees in the tax laws.
"Vonders Of soft drinks and ice
cream sold at fountains will also be
Investigated" the Bureaus an
nouncement said:
THE practice followed by many
dealers of depositinL the tax in a
small dish. cup or cigar box does
not permit OF a proper accounting
Of taxes collected and is contrary to
regulations. Where a receptacle is
used to deposit taxes. it must be ar
ranged into compartments suitable
for holding the different amounts
collected. All dealers who fail TO
keep proper records will be sub
iected to the penalties provided by
law.
Recent arrests in New York OF
theatre ticket brokers charged with
failure to account for taxes on ex-
ress charges will be followed by sim
liar prosecution for wilful refusal TO
file monthly tax returns Theatres
and moving picture houses which
fail to print tickets or cards Of ad-
mission in accordance with regula-
tions will be prosecuted.
The purpose Of the drive will be
one Of education as well as enforce
ment Where. l.ior TO government
investigation, amt led returns are
filed accompanied by evidence IA
show that the delinquency Is due "a
no wrongful intent, the policy Of the
Bureau will be one OF leniency
Where evidence is discovered tend

fusal to collect and pay the tax. the
policy will be TO enter prosecutions
