STOCK DIVIDENDS

shown in the Great Northern Paper
Company's statement that an extra
cash dividend of 81 share will be
paid on its increased capitalization.

TO ROUND UP DODGERS
u. S. Treasury Starts Drive on
Tax DeIinquents.
Government officials Expect to Swell
Revenues From $2oo,oOo,o0o
to $3o0,ooo,ooo

Washington, April ga drive against
tax dodgers has been started by the
Federal government, it was announced
at the bureau Of internal revenue of
the Treasury department here
Thousands of so-called warrants of
dislraint will be issued in cities
throughout the country in an effort to
force the payment Of back. taxes. These
warrants call for the seizure and sale
Of the property of delinquent taxpay-
ers and tax dodgers.
The first move in the drive has been
made at Kansas City, where five hum
dred distraint warrants were issued.
The warrants will be issued in other
cities as rapidly as the clerical forces
of the collectors offices can prepare the
papers. Orders for a concentrated
movement against the tax delinquents
have been issued to all federal tax col
lectors.
The internal revenue bureau is try
ing to collect a record breaking amount
of back taxes this year. It is hoped
that in this manner the government
revenues will be swelled from $780,
100000 to S3OO,O0O,OOO. The statute Of
limitations makes 1t impossible for the
government to take legal action against
tax dodgers Of the year 1917, when
war profits were large.
