——a— | | FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1919 TAX EVASION IN SANK DEPOSITS HONG UP HERE Less Than Million of Forty Million Dollar Total Turned in by Peo- ple, Declares Tax Com- missioner The inadequacy of the present sys- tem of taxing moneys in banks in the state was evidenced in the re. port of the state tax commissioner, » copy of which was received by Coun- ty Assessor E. L. McGraugh yester, day showihg that the banks of th, state had approximately $40,000,~ 000 on deposit last year and that tax returns were made on less than a million dollars or one-fortieth of thc return that should have been made. Pricate and savings banks, loan and trust companies had on deposi: $18,820,983,05 with the remaindes of the forty million on deposit in the national institutions of which the state examiner has no jurisdiction. Returns were made on $715,598. It seems that there was a general eva, sion of taxes on this class of pru, erty which should be assessed at 100 per cent under the laws of the state. The following explanation of th reason of the discrepancy is taken verbatum from the commissioner’s report: “The reason these items do nox appear on the tax rolls is, because, under the assessment, by virtue of our present system of 100 per cent of full value the t in some instar all, and { instances a g t+ of an income. Thar it is practically con- prefer to be honest but they instinctiy king from them in the way of taxation an amount which seems exhorbitant, and human nature in this respect has shown itself the same in Wyoming as in other statés in the union. “Taking from a man the greater part of his income is met the proper aim of taxation. It is not appliea to other forms of property as it is under our system of moneys and credits. It will be seen therefore thet our method of assessment and taxation laws on this ¢ of prop- erty is wholly inadequaté and that present conditions call for new laws ‘ them.” ter is mol ta atio RED LIGHT {ISTRIGTS ARE GLOSEG IN FREMONT RIVERTON, Wyo., Jan. 24.—Fed- eral orders were fulfilled in Fre- mont County the past few weeks by County Prosecuting Attorney, Frank A. Michels, who gave notice that all prostitutes be ordered to move on. Lander and Hudson were cleared and Riverton was cleared on Tuesday of this week by city Attorney Bryant S. Cromer. The inmates of these houses of ill fame left on Sunday and Monday for unknown parts. The city attorney was recently given au- thority by an ordinance passed to make prosecutions and the orders from the County Attorney were ful- filled, SIXTY MILLIGNS WORTH OF LIVESTOGK WW WYO. The livestock industry of the state is valued at $60,171,701, according to reports of the state tax commis- sioners office. The principal valua- tion is placed on sheep which to- gether with goats total 4,100,000 in the state. In numbers cattle come next in order with 965,000, horses] 213,000, swine 60,000 winding with 4,000 mules. The valuation as reported from the assessor's offices of the various coun- ties’ show less than half the amount represented in the report which is authenticated by gov- ernment and veterinary reports. DIVISION OF LANDS {5 DISCUSSED BY MEXICANS MEXICO CITY,.—(By Mail.) —A project for the division of national lands of Mexico among small farm- ers and ranchers is expected to be presented by President Carranza to the present session of the Mexican congress. It is proposed to organize agricultural colonies with state sup- up port and supervision in the states of} Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Chiapas and Chihuahua. The plan involves the seen of irrigation projects which already have been proposed by the Department of Development and to comprise conservation of natural rsources. The outline of a new series of laws to govern the relations between em- ployers‘and the employer~and to limit the working day to eight hours has been submitted to the represen- tatives in congress. The proposed Jaws are intended also to protect. the wage of workmen, provide hygenic ‘surroundings for workers, compensa- tion for industrial accidents, protec- tion of women employees, and arbi- , tration of industrial disputes. commissioner's | § So Says Winston Churchill in | Explaining Reason for Gov- ernment Policy on QOwner- ship of Railroads LONDON— (Correspondence to the Associated Press)—Winston Chur- chill, minister of munitions, who‘an, nounced the government policy of nationalizing British railways, ex- plained to the Dundee chamber of commerce the reasons for the pro- posed step. Owing to the enormous debt with which the country had been burdened by the war, he said, relief measures jon a big scale were required. | “The three great parent factors j“are land, communications and power, jand the three children food, housing jand manufacture. So long as the ‘railways are in pfivate hands. they may be used for immediate profit.
