“FIND BOO fLEGGER,” |Man, 64, Risks Life INCOME TAX SLOGAN Uncle Sam's Sleuths in San Fran. cisco Set Examrle for Others. ADD $107,000 TO TREASURY Look Up “Those Dealing in For- bidden Beverages. NCISCO, January 26.— Uncle Sam’s fncome tax sleuths in.: other localities, who would aid Sec- retary Mellon in reducing the tax burden of honest citizens, might do | well to emulate Treasury Department agents here. The process of emulation is con- tain.d in three words, “Find the boot- leggers.” Procedure Held a Simple One, By the simple procedure of “looking up” many of those who are susnected of dealing in forbidden beverages, San Francisco income tax agents| have added almost $100,000 to receipts | during the past month. That isn't all | —only a small proportion of the boot- leggers have yvet been “looked up,” und_indications are that a total of 32505000 from the same sources will have been accumulated before the g:;n season on income tax eligibles The secret of the whole thing is a little co-operation from . prohipition enforcement agents. Federal dry sleuths know most 5f the active boot- leggers and a wisle lot more who, until they catch them, can only be suspected of being bootleggers. Also, bootleggers who aren't caught too often invariably grow wealthy, and most of them put their surplus capital into real estate or apartment houses. 2 Namen of Suspects Linted. he procedure followed here is for the prohibition agents to turn over the names of all known and suspect- ed bootleggers to Treasury Depart- ment agents. The latter immediately start checking the names against alphabetical lists of property ‘owners in the county recorder's office, where property is transferred but not re- corded. The government agents get on the trail of the bootlegger through lists of all transfers made by realty dealers to the state realty commis- sion. Undel" the system of double check- ing, it's pretty hard for the boot- legger to escape. (Copyrigh ) AMNESIA SUFFERER FOUND IN ST.

LONLON, January 25.—True under- standing between Great Britain and the United States is based upon the actual transactions of business folks on both sides of the Atlantic and nod upon what people say ahbout Anglo-American. relations, sald Rob- ert P.

He said the. value of British goods exported to the United States in- creased from $359,000,000 in 1922 to $396,000,000 in 1923. “Perhaps, it is a little venturesome to mention a protective tarift in this company,” he continued, “but still I cannot but remind myself that only one year ago we were hearing lamen- tatlons on every side. and within this chamber of commerce respecting the anticipated effect of the new tariff.” Every now and then, he added, he heard ~ disagreeable words about Anglo-American relations. On such occasions he usually went to his window in the consulate and looked upon the streets below where at cer- tain hours of the day he was fairly sure to see a long line of persons holding in thelr hands commercial papers which they desired to put through his office. This sight, he added, immediately reassured him that Anglo-American relations were functioning as usual “REVERTED TO ARIZONA” SEEN AS LESS OMINOUS Governor Says State 8o Busy Tam- | Tuchuns in‘Two Provinces Issue ,ing Indians Records Not Kept Sixty Years Ago.
