BUSINESS OUTLOOK
STEADILY IMPROVING
Price Trend and Flow of Goods to

Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeciaI Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 2S.-Events at
the turn of the year have further forth
fled confidence in the business outlook,
states the Guaranty Survey, published
today by the Guaranty Trust Company
of New York.
Buying is still generally conserva-
tive" the Survey continues. AS de-
liyeries to distributors are relatively
prompt and speculation for a rise in
commodity prices is not general, con-
ditions in mist branches of business do
not call for heavy inventory accumu-
lations. Nevertheless, activity in some
lines is exceeding most expectations.
'The degree of confidence with which
business men make commitments de-
pends largely upon two elements-the
recent trend of prices and the factors
which have affected their general aver
age, and the evenness in the flow of
goods from producers to consumers. To-
day these two factors promise a period
of generally stable business in the i'm
mediate future.
sThe most significant feature of re-
eent prices in this country is the COM
parative steadiness Of their average, de-
spite a slight net decline in 1923, as
compared with a more pronounced in :
crease In the preceding year.

Tips for Taxpayers
d. ID.

Heavy penalties are provided by
the revenue act for failure or
"willful refusal to make a re-
quired income tax return and pay
the tax on time--on or before
March Is, If the return is filed on
a calendar year basis. If the tax
payer makes his return on the
fiscal year basis 1t should be filed

turn is later filed and 1t is salts

neglect. For willful refusal to

to a penalty of $4,000, or one
years Imprisonment, or both, to-
gether with the cost of prosecu-
ton and penalty of 25 per cent
of the amount of the tax.
When a return is made in good
faith and an understatement of
the amount of the tax thereon is
due to no fault OF the taxpayer,
no penalty attaches, but interest
attaches to the amount of the
deficiency at the rate of s per cent
a year. If the understatement is
due to negligence-"absen of
reasonable care under the circum-
stances'-there is to be added )
per cent Of the total amount Of

ficiency at the rate of IL per cent

statement is fraudulent with in
tent to evade the tax, the penalty
is a fine of not more than $4,000
