.RET.URN0F TAXES
FAR FROM SIMPLE

WASIIINGTON.-If you defy the
law what are you?
A. you are an outlaw or else,
@B,:3you are a bureau chief at
Washington.
Not long ago the United States
supreme court handed down decis.
ion applying to certain class of cases
in which the United States had
wrongfully taken, money from GER
tain class Of it's citizens. Never mind
what class. That has nothing to do
with the story. A lawyer appeared
here to represent a client who haG
been trimmed by beneficient Uncle
Sam. He called on the chief of the
bureau which had got the money.
.tWill you recommend that it be
returned to Os?" he asked.
Moneys of which the Government.
has rnulcted taxpayers or other citi-
zens can be returned only through II
circnitous process. of recommends
ton. No bureau chief likes to return
money. Not that he gets penny
out Of it himself, but it makes a fine
showing. He can report, for example,
that his bureau has levied $17,000,-
900 in fines and taxes. It sounds
good. All of us innocents say:
"Ah, Tttaboyi That'll help pull
down that condinged tax that is eat
ing me UP"
The bureau chief is under no obli-
cation to report that Of The SIT ,000,.
900 eslevied' he has only collected
$4S.10, nor that the court, has ruled
that this sum was collected illegally
and must be returned. He has
made his point. In his next report
he can run the total Of fines and
taxes levied by him up TO more mil
lions. 1t sounds good. No one knows
the other end of the tale.
In this case the bureau chief said
grumbling, that he would recon.
mend that the money be repaid. He
evidently looked on the lawyer as an
enemy of the republic and on his
client as a traitor. But he could not
help himself. The case had been
passed on by the supreme court and
the client knew that it had been
passed on. But the lawyer went too
far.
"I understand" he said, "that
there are number Of other similar
cases before the department. Will
you give me a list of them?"
No, sir" said the bureau chief,
angrily. mo sir. Not if you pro.
pose to make use of them to extort
money out Of this department"
Mind you, the United States SUI.
preme court-the highest authority
on law-had held that moneys col.
lected by the government in q sl1ch
cases, had been collected without
warrant of law and must be repaid.
Every penny held by the department
in such cases was held by process
of plain theft: The bureau chief was
defying the law just as much as
Jack Sheppard ever did. h
I'd be sore about it," gaid the
lawyer, except that am convinced
that all burea,I chiefs act the same
way and always have. This years
issue of bureau chiefs is no worse
than any other years issLe. They
are all alike"
