Illinois Grand Jury
Will Investigate Case
Involving $160,0OO.
Part of Cash Is Found
in Former Pastor 8
Home, Part in Garage.

Danville, ILL.,, March 6.Steps to
clear up one Of the largest mail rob-
berries Of recent years will be consid-
cred by the grand jury that meets here
Monday. It involves principally Guy
Kyle, of Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, formerly 4
minister, in whose home 800, 900 in
cash was found, and who confessed.
Another lot Of .$S5, 900, mostly cash,
was found stuffed in auto parts and
other places in a garage in Mt. Vernon
Jointly owned by Mr. Kyle and Loren
Williamson. Williamson has denied
any connection with the robbery.
Beyond admitting that he partici-
pated in the robbery, Mr.. Kyle has
refused information for publication.
There have been stories that band OF
expert robbers was involved, and 9TH
ers that Kyle was alone.
Mr.. Kyle formerly was minister in
the Free Methodist church. His con-
nection with church was severed IN
1913. The Rev. G. W. Griffith OF
Chicago, who presided as acting bishop
over the central Illinois conference at
which the severance took place, saio
that Mr.. Kyle was present and re-
ouested a certificate ce standing. On
investigation it was found that Mr..
KYLE already had united with another
church and that his credentials had
not been recognized by that othe-
church. In view Of the fact that Mr;
KYLE had taken this step while still
posing as a minister Of the Free Meth
odist church the Rev. Griffith said,
his request for a certificate was de-
MED by vote Of the conference. he
was declared withdrawn from the con-
ference and the church.

cause Of this secrecy involved princi-
pies laid down and established.
Secure Better Jobs.
Because 3f that situation and the
present law the turn over among COM
petent administrative employees Of the
bureau during the past four years has
been enormous. Men who earn from
$1,000 to $1,000 year pass upon
claims involving hundreds Of thou
sands or millions of dollars in single
cases.
They become expert in the knowledge
Of the administrative regulations and
their very expertness robs the gov
ernment of their services. A corpora
ton submitting case involving, say
100000, to a bureau employe earning
$4,000 a year. is pretty likely to be
tempted to employ that man after the
decision is rendered in order to submit
correct returns next year and avoid
losses and penalties. And so the en-
ploye leaves the bureau to accept a
salary double or three times what he
had received from the government; a
new man takes his place and the whole
principle has to be studied and assim-
Hated by q new man before he is COM
petent to make decision in other
cases.
Learns and Goes.
It takes from six months to a year
for the new man to become expert.
even if he has special attitude. Thus
a tax decision is held up. the tax payer
suffers and in the end the new man is
likely to go the way Of the old-to a
better paying position.
The writer knows of one case where
an administrative employe left $1,000
job to take $4,000 one after SER
vice of little over year.
All that, it is thought, would be
corrected by the creation of the tax
court. Every tax payer, in addition
would have the benefit of the court s
ruling on every other tax payers con-
test The bureau would be relieved Of
an immense amount of detail work De-
cisons would be rendered more
promptly Cat present 1913 returns are
being checked up and it is thought,
there would be big increase in eff
cheney.
Another thing, there would be no
| more compromises on tax problems.
Either tax is due or it is not due.
Judge Warwick holds. A collector now
may and does often compromise a
moot question. rather than submit it to
long and vcxatious delay. The tax
court would settle that.
