DODGERS OF TAX
OVER MILLION
Drive Against Army of Income
Tax DeIinquents
COUNT ON $5O0,0o0,0O
Sees Possibility Of Covering Entire
Treasury Deficit Of S7oo,ooo,ooo
-New York Heads
jst

Washington-Gove revenue
agents and auditors, just catching up
with their after-the-war work, have
made the startling discovery that more
than 100000 persons liable for taxes
on incomes above $4,000 have lodged
payment, either through not making
returns OF concealing assets.
This was learned at the Treasury
Department, simultaneously with the
Inauguration of a drive on the part of
the Internal Revenue Bureau to catch
the evaders.
Revenue experts estimate that the
Treasury can be enriched to the extent
of s50O,0 100000 in collections from in
dividuals who have failed to make any
returns for four years.
In cataloguing taxpayers throughout
the country agents have found that
the number of persons who should
have made returns and did not will
total nearly 100000. In addition
there is also shown in the reports a
large class of tax evaders who have
put themselves in the $4,000 class.
whereas their earnings are consider
ably larger than that.
Orders have gone out to internal
revenue collectors to make roundup
of small business concerns in large
cities. These cities will be centers of
a whirlwind smash at the evaders In
the next few weeks. From New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Detroit, st. Louis, San
Francisco and Pittsburgh the drive
will be extended to other cities upon
an equally vigorous scale, it was said
by Treasury officials.
The Governments greatest loss
from tax revenues since the war is
ascribed to "shirking' by small busi-
ness concerns in the larger cities. The
Government has gained access to bank
accounts and other data. which re-
veals the liability of thousands of such
concerns. The evaders have hidden In
the majority of cases behind faulty
accounting methods and in a surpris-
ingly large number of cases, it was
shown by the preliminary inyestiga-
tions, ledgers were not used at all.
In New York City it IS estimated
that $4,000 or more merchants of diff
ferent kinds have lodged taxes by
failing to make any return showing
earnings. In the after-war rush this
class Of concerns succeeded in their
deception, but at last the Government
is catching up in its annual audits,
and is checking back over listed firms
and individuals with parallel data
showing business profits.
Some officials said if the campaign
of recovery Is as successful as Off
cials anticipate, the entire estimated
deficit of s7OO.000,OO0 this year may be
overcome.
The Treasury's extra efforts grow
out of the fact that the Administration
faces the necessity Of finding new ad-
ditional taxes, unless some other way
is found to balance receipts and ex-
penditures.

FROM PAYROLL
Executive Civil Service Employ

PLANS OTHER REDUCTIONS
Workers Weeded Out At Rate OF Four
Hundred Monthly In Wash
ington-To Stay At
10000.
PLANS OTHER REDUCTIONS

Washington.-The number of exec
utive civil service employees on the
Government rolls is now 559,663, the
smallest number since the United
States entered the World War. On
June 80, 1916, before the war, the
number was 43S,057. At the time of
the Armistice, November II, 1918, the
number was 917,76O. The total num-
ber of separations, therefore, in the
last four years has been 35S,097.
These figures, available at the Civil
Service Commission, placed the mum.
ber of executive civil service EN-.
ployees in Washington at 6S,71S on
September 80 last. The reduction
from June 80 last was 1900, which
means that separations in Washing.
ton, which is the chief center for such
employees, are proceeding at the rate
of 400 month.
At the beginning of the war there
were roughly 100000 employees in
Washington, but the number jumped,
because of war activities, to 117,760.
The reduction to 6S,71S, the number
on September 80, has been slow and
it Is recognized that the figure never
will be so low as in 1916.
The reason is the new activities of
the Government as a result of the
war. The chief additions have been
in the Treasury Department, which
deals with war finances, and in the
Veterans Bureau. There will be re-
ductions sooner or later in the War
Department, the Navy Department,
the u S. Shipping Board, the Rail-
road Administration and the Alien
Property Custodian's office. The be-
lief is that $4,000 clerks will be the
level that finally will be reached In
Washington.

Bowie-The Colored State Normal
School, located at Jericho Park. lit
tie more than a mile north of this
place on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was totally destroyed by fire. 1t Is
thought the fire originated in the fur
mace room, the probable cause being
combustion of gases from the use of
soft coal. The building, which was
three stories and basement construct
ed of brick, was built in 1911 by the
State of Maryland Col. w. S. Powell,
of the Ellicott City Times, being chair
man of the committee having In
charge its erection. The cost of the
building was about $4,000. At the
time the blaze started there were no
classes in session but about 20 stu
dents were in the apartment on the
third floor, used as a dormitory and
recitation room. All escaped but lost
all their wearing apparel and personal
effects.

Gregor of the fourth class, the ac-

and, admitting portions of the charges
against him, denied that he had been
extreme in his requirements. He de-
clared that he had nothing to do with
the last stunt, the "asymptote," which
was the direct cause of the "plebe's'
complete physical collapse and his
detention in the hospital over two
weeks after the occurrence.
