Therefore, it is clear that several millions of per- sonms, probably from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000, who should have made returns under the law did not do so and thereby made themselves subject to fine or imprisonment. In other words, from one-thxrd to one-half of the 40,000,000 appear to have been tax dodgers in the year 1919—the latest year for which the figures are available—and there is no reason to.believe conditions were any better in 1920 or 1921. Looking ‘&t it from a still different angle, it is figured that for the year 1919 the total loss to the governmentduring 1919 would amount to taxes on $46,000,000,000. This is a most amazing condition of affairs, if the figures and totals presented are as accurate as they appear to be. . While it is true that some of those who did not make returns, but who under the law should have done 50, would not have been re- ' quired-to pay a tax because of the exceptions. But millions did not pay.who could and should. That dishonesty could exist on such a colossal scale and fail to have been brought to the public’s atten- tion before this seems almost incredable. the government figures and the statistics as ana- lyzed by Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York g Globe, appear to be involerable. .
