TWO DRIVES FOR
TAX COLLECTIONS

Two intensive Federal tax drives
were inaugurated by the field forces
under Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. Rex Goodcell yesterday.
Drive No. 1-Collection Of third
installment of income taxes will be
due September Is. Forty thousand
taxpayers are meeting their annual
tax bill on the part-payment plan.
More than 10000 met their taxes
in full on March Is. 1t is not be-
lieved that any other Internal Rev
enue District in the United States
holds such Il record.
Collector Goodcell pointed out
that when 100000 out of a total
of 100000 income taxpayers cover
their taxes in one. payment when
they have the option of quarterly
installments, it certainly testifies
to the sound financial condition of
Southern California.
The full amount of tax owing au-
tomatically becomes due, and Col
lector Goodcell must, under the in
come tax laws, proceed to collect it
with penalties added, if the third
installment is not paid by Septem-
Der 15.
After Old Offenders
Drive No. 2--is directed against
taxpayers who neglected to include
income returns for 1920, 1921 and
1922, profit realized from the sale
of real estate. Collector Goodcell
believes that the failure of many
taxpayers to include real estate
profit i'll their returns was due to
an erroneous Interpretation of the
revenue laws. He suggests that
taxpayers who failed to report
realty profits file an amended re-
turn. 1t will not be the policy of
the revenue bureau to assert heavy
penalties when the disclosure is
voluntarily made by the taxpayer.
A check of the real estate trans
fers of the entire district has been
made and these are now being
checked against income returns
filed for 1920, 1921 and 1922
Where the taxpayer does not volun
tarily disclose items of profit that
were omitted, full penalties must be
asserted under the revenue laws
Prompt and voluntary action by
taxpayers who have not declared
their real estate profits will save
I them thousands of dollars in pen
alties, revenue officials declares.

Ludendorff, undeniably strong man, after air
