Hoover Raps Publicity
Clause in New Tax Bill
AS Injury to Tradesmen

Publicity features Of the new tax
bill will work great deal Of dam
age to the small business man, Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover de-
clared today. He regards the pub
licity clauses as among the most
unsound features Of the bill.
Creation Of what Hoover called
Islands Of tax evasion" were raped
by the Secretary. High surtaxes
drive capital into tax-exempt Sc
curities," Hoover said I'VE have
a perfect island Of tax evasion
where those Of high incomes may
escape their contributions to gov
ernmental upkeep.
Taxes should be assessed &C
cording to the ability Of the tax
payer to pay, but 1t is useless to
assess high surfaces and then make
complete evasion possible"
Hoover regards the Presidents
suggestion for conference Of State
officials to arrange State, county
and municipal taxes on a more sys-
tematic basis as sound.
He expressed opposition to the
sales tax as a method Of raising
revenue should the present bill fail
to bring in sufficient funds for
government operation.

RULES FOR TAX
PAYMENTS
ISSUED
Internal Revenue Collector
Tells How IS Per Cent
May Be Deducted

Subtract one-fourth from the total
income tax which you reported this
year and remember that one-hah Of
this amount must be paid by June
Is.
This IL the message sent out to.
day by the Collector Of Internal
Revenue, following the signing OF
the revenue bill yesterday.
The % per cent deduction cannot
all be taken out OF the second in.
stallment but MUST be apportioned
over all installments.
Briefly. il at the time you filed
your Federal income tax return
you paid three fourths Of the
amount Of tax reported, no further
payment will be due.
II. at the time you filed your
return, you paid one-haH Of the
amount Of tax reported, no pay
ment will be due until September Is
II at the time you filed your 70
turn, you paid only. one-fourth OF
the amount OF tax reported, you
must pay on or before June Is
one-half the amount paid by you
when you filed your return.
"A considerable number of tax
payers" reads the announcement
who are accustomed, to paying ali
their tax when they file their re.
turns anticipated the rs per cent re-
duction, and this year paid only
three-fourths Of the amounts report
ed on their returns. This class OF
taxpayers will. Of course, have moth
ing further to pay this year, unless
additional tax Is disclosed when their
returns are audited. There will. nc
doubt, be many individuals who will
desire to settle their tax accounts
in full now that the Is per cent re
duction is an accomplished fact. The
amount due in any instance where
a taxpayer desires to pay in full will
be the total amount OF tax shown
at the time of filing the return, less
26 per cent, and less the amount
paid at the time Of filing the same
The Collector OF Internal Revenue
states that such action would be
advantageous from the Govern
ment's viewpoint as 1t would elim!
nate considerable bookkeeping.
In view Of the feat that the tax
notices were prepared prior to the
enactment of the new law, a tax
payer who paid three-fourths Of the
tax on filing his return may receive
a notice from the collector advising
OF the amount assessed, amount
paid, and the remaining balance, but
In cases Of this nature no further
payment is due. The payment made
In June, plus the amount already
paid, must equal one-half Of the
total tax due, after taking the 81
per cent deduction. Likewise, the
amount paid in September plus the
amount previously paid must equa
three-fourths Of the total tax LA
bility, after the 25 per cent deduction
has been taken. The remainder o.
the tax liability will be payable or
or before December Is.
In cases where taxpayers nait
the full amounts of tax shown or
their returns, refunds will be made
or one'fourth OF the amounts. II
Will not be necessary for claims tc
be filed. in fact, correspondence
from taxpayers relative to such re
funds will probably serve to SLOW
down the work of the collector II

necessary schedules to Washington
In order that the checks may bt

work will be carried on as RAPIDLY
as it can be performed by his force
