SAYS MILLIONS EVADE
FEDERAL INCOME LAWS
Billions of Dollars in Taxes
Have Apparently Been Lost
in Past Five Years
Editors note This is the
first of a series Of articles
dealing with the federal i'll
come tax situation. The sec
ond will appear tomorrow.
By BRUCE BLIVEN


New York, April 17-That the EN-
tire federal income tax system has
broken down with practice; that mil
lions of our citizens are evading their
lawful obligations to the government,
and that billions of dollars in I'M
paid taxes have been illegally with
held from the United States during
the last five years, are the astounu-
ing facts recently revealed by care
full study of the official reports Of
the u. S. Census Bureau and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Unbelievable as it may seem, the
governments own records as they
have been analysed by Jason Rogers,
show beyond question that violations
of the federal income tax law are
taking place on a scale so vast one
hesitates to put down in cold figures
even an approximation Of the condi-
tions which can be shown to exist.
Mr.. Rogers has pointed out that
there are approximately 42,0OO,OO0
persons "gainfully employed" in the
United States, about 40 per cent of
our total population.
|, Of these only 100000 filed per-
sonal income tax returns in 1919 GER
tifying to in comes of as much as
$1,000 a year.
Yet nearly all economists are
agreed that the average income of
all wage 'earners in the~ceuntry was
more than $1,000 year in 1919.
Millions of Evaders
Therefore it is clear that many
millions of persons-probably from
100000 to 20,000,OO0 - who
should have made income tax returns

RECUPERATlNC RESORT
BOUGHT BY N, LEGION
1,2OO-Acre Camp in Adiron-
dacks to Be Used by Ill
War Veterans

New York, April 17.-High up in
the Adirondacks, on the shores of
Big Lake Topper, the American Le-
q on has bought 1,2O0-acre camp
which will be available as a rccup-
Grating resort for all men and women
of New York state who were wound
ed during the World war or have be-
come sick by reason Of their service:
Title to motor boats, individual
camping shacks and other outdoor
equipment has also passed into the
Lcgion's hands.
State lands in excess Of 10000
acres are made available for the
camps use by an order issued by
Gov. Miller. This region is part of
the New York state preserve and
the Legion's purchase adjoins. The
time-honored "lcan-to" ab0unds in
both districts and it is in these hon
est-to-goodncss health producers that
many gassed and wounded victims OF
the war are expected to literally get
back on their feet.
For the hundreds Of tuberculosis
patients, which heretofore have been
a cause Of much worry to welfare or
CARNATIONS in the Empire state, the
frame buildings which are part of
the Lake Upper property viii! be
turned into open air places where
these patients may have protection
and still inhale quantities of noun
tain air.
The Legion is to pay $4,000 for
it's recently acquired property. The
organization has already paid the
former owners of the Adirondack
site $4,000 in cash. The Theater
Assembly, a New York women's or
ganizaton, has contributed $4,000
and other similar units have given
funds.
1t is expected that with the camp
in full running order, 1,7O0 veterans
can be capably cared for. 1t is plan
ned to appoint central committee
which will choose among the thou
sands of sick and wounded ex-serv!ce
men those who most need the sort
Of attention the camp can offer. The
Legion, however, hopes that in The
future the camp may be utilized by
any veterans who may desire to rest
, up by getting away from city life.
