Beware of the Income Tax Spy
By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

NNAou ~ SVuttSU
There's a tipster almost at
your elbow who may cost you
plenty; unless you obey the
income tax law.
!. So you'd better make out
that income tax return hon
,estly and pay Uncle Sam his
due now that the inevitable,
sure-as-death March Is is
rolling around. For there's a
horde of, tipSters-maybe
there's one in your own house.
hold-ready. willing and able
to whisper into Uncle Sans
ear If you're not paying all the
taxes you should.
AS high as $4,000 and as
little as $3.50 has been paid
to these information givers.
Jealousy, revenge, curiosity,
love are all powerful allies Of
the Treasury Department.
And they can make the Gov
ernment's cash registers ring
with delight as the tax COLI
lectors rake in the funds you
thought you were going to
spend gleefully on yourself,
with stolen-fruit satisfaction.
5 to so Per Cent
Penalties run from 5 per
cent for failure to pay on time
up to so per cent for deliber-
ate fraud, plus s per cent i'm
tereSt.
AS a matter of cold. hard
fact. the Internal Revenue men
say, in the last II years. some
$54 million has been collected
in delinquent taxes through
tips from people who knew
what they were talking about.
The Government paid them
around SIS million for their
valued information. From
1886 to 1913 alone the Gov
eminent gained SPAS million
In withheld taxes and tipsters
collected $685., 900.
The bookkeeper who thought
he should have received a raise
and didn't-might tell the
T-men about your default.
There may even be a dis
gruntled partner. Then there's
the wife who thinks that be-
cause her husband has cheated
at gambling or at love, he
surely must be cheating at
taxes.
Books the sly businessman
thought he burned can turn
up as accusing witnesses,
thanks to the tipster. Or the
telltale check may be the clue
that ends in a heavy penalty.
The informer who has really
worthwhile information can
get up to 10 per cent of the
Governments take. AS q
matter of practice, however.
rewards average around 5 per
cent. In former years, the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue had
100000 annually to spend in
this cause. In recent years.
Congress tipped the ante to
$500. 900 annually, SO lucra-
tive has the procedure been
for Uncle Sans Golfers. The
T-men have made it perfectly,
clear they don't want to breed
q Nation of shoppers, but still
they can't afford to overlook
good information. Officials
expect that this year around
$500 900 again will be paid out.
Lest you think this is alls a
scare story, well-timed for the
eye of income tax time,
here's the cold. blunt record
Of the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice from 1913 through 1852,
the last available year:

GIFTS FROM YOUR KITCHEN
ARE BOUND TO PLEASE ALL

Have you experienced that pan
icky feeling that comes when you
discover you've forgotten someone
at Christmas time? Probably so.
You can, however, save yourself
a good deal of embarrassment by
having some gifts wrapped and on
hand in case just such an occasion
should arise.
And what is a safer bet than
something that you, yourself, have
made-perhaps seasonal cookies
and candies, nuts, and stuffed
fruits?
According to Virginia Wilson,
State College extension specialist
in foods and nutrition, these are
the gifts with a particularly per-
sonal touch. And that, after all, is
what the spirit of Christmas CIV
ing should be-giving a little OF
yourself to others.
Miss Wilson suggests packing
your handiwork in a wooden or
earthenware bowl, a flower pot,
small basket, or inexpensive cake
or loaf pan. If you have more time
than money, you can put oatmeal
boxes, coffee cans, or paper plates
to good use by covering them with
gay paper and packing your cook
les into them.
A gaily wrapped package makes
even the smallest gift look good.
Use odd ends of wallpaper,
brightly colored magazine covers,
shelf paper or scraps of material
to glamorize your gifts.
If you have a favorite candy,
cookie or fruit or nut bread recipe,
use it, by all means. And for an
additional touch, tuck a copy of
your pet recipe into your gift.
Persons who will be particularly
appreciative of these gifts from
your kitchen are those living in
rooming houses or apartments
where they have neither the time
or facilities for cooking.
