Dunlap, Internal Revenue Commissioner, says the tax scandals sweeping the country are increasing the number of in- former pay-offs to the point where he will need addition- al funds from Congress. The way this spy system works is that any person who submits the name of a “crooked taxpayer” can col- lect up to ten per cent of the total amount brought into the Treasury as a result of the tip-off. The ten per cent fee is given only when the Department of Internal Reve- nue is furnished complete facts, which lead to catching the evader. Lesser amounts are paid for fewer facts about Few peopte reaiize Pt TF. aa cael an evader. Our first reaction to this informer system is that it is not the most desirable way of catching evaders. We do not like a system which encourages one neighbor to spy another. Increasing spicion and encouraging individ. s to reveal confidential information for a few, dollars is not a desirable social goal. On the other hand, it must be admitted that this tip- system is one of the Government's best weapons ir etching up with people who cheat on their income taxes. It must also be admitted that each person who cheats our Government increases the tax load on every honest tax- payer. In view of the tremendous load on the back of each American tax-payer, we find ourselves unable to con- demn this admittedly undesirable system of catching tax evaders, which is about the same as offering rewards for the capture of known criminals, Almost everyone is a liberal, by his or her definition The bright sayings attributed to babies are usually what mother thinks up after junior has gone to sleep. good day to go to church and lister to the sermon.
