'QU|z OF EMPLOYEES
ON UNPAID TAXES
Revenue Bureau Seeks to
Smoke Out DeIinquents
Among U. S. Workers.

Searching inquiry among all govern
ment employees to determine whether
or not there are any income tax de-
linquents will be instituted by the
local office of the bureau of internal
revenue October 1. All government
officials, including division chiefs, sub
division chiefs and section heads. will
be called upon to assist in the inquiry.
Thousands of questionnaires calling
for certain information which the
local revenue bureau needs now are
eing printed at the government print
ing office. One will be given to each
government official and employe. The
work which the officials will be called
upon to do to assist the internal reve-
nue. office will be to see that every en-
ploye under him gets a questionnaire
and returns it to the local office of the
bureau of internal revenue.
Results of Previous Quiz.
A similar inquiry was conducted by
the bureau two years ago, and 1t was
said that it developed that there were
hundreds of delinquents among the
employees. The comparison of the
records of income tax returns filed
enables the collectors to determine
whether there are errors or whether
people have failed to file returns. ac-
cording to H. H. Fridley. deputy in
ternal revenue collector in charge Of
the local office.
In addition to furnishing check-up
system for the bureau of internal rev.
enue of income taxpayers in the Dis
trict the campaign also is educa-
tional, it was said. 1t also acquaints
the people with the fact that the gov
ernment is keeping a strict eye on its
incOme-taX possibilities.
Civil firms are rp0uired to fill out a
form for each employe to whom they
paid money and file it with their
returns. This enables the internal
revenue office to check up on those
not in the government service, but
government financial officers have
been exempted from filing this paper.
Therefore there is no chck-up system
for government employees unless some
means such as the inquiry about to
be Instituted is followed.
Information Sought.
The questionnaire calls for the fol-
lowing information: Whether mar
ried or single, number of dependents;
income from salary, commission and
bonus; income from business; income
from interest on money loaned and in
come from rented property; income
from inteest on money loaned and in
banks; wife's income; total income
from all sources, and deductions al
lowed, and the place where the per-
son was employed in 1920.
1t is expected that it will take sew
eral weeks to get all Of the replies in,
when a large force will be put to
work checking them up with the bu-
reau's records. Upon discovery of any
delinquency internal revenue agents
will be sent out Immediately to start
an investigation to determine the rea-
sons and make demands for the pay
ment of the taxes due.

628 SHIP BOARD CLERKS
DROPPED IN TWO WEEKS

Six hundred and twenty-eight en-
ployes of the general controllers office
of the Shipping Board have been re-
leased within the past two weeks. it
was announced at the Shipping Board
today. The number of employees let out
in the Washington offices of the board
was said to be small in comparison

estimated that a saving of mil
lion dollars year would result in the
office of the general controller. Approx
imately $500 employees have been re-
leased by the Shipping Board since
June, it was said.
Chairman Lasker is expected to an.
nounce this week appointment of two
