BY BASIL M. MANLY Noteg American Economic Inves tigator In the preceding articles I have shown you that the frauds and evasions under the federal income tax amount to more than $320,000, 000—enough to pay the entire cost of “preparedness"—and that these frauds cannot be prevented nor the taxes collected either under the law as tt now stands, or with the existing administrative machinery. The great question now arises, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? These taxes must be collected the NATION NE THE REV ENUE AND Jt DEMAND: THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW. There are only two effective methods. Surveillance Necessary FIRST—The adoption and erten- sion of the plans which are being urged by Secretary McAdoo, pro- viding a system of surveillance over every potential income tax- payer. SECOND—The adoption of the simple expedient of PUBLISHING the Income tax returns so that the nation may know who are the/sion of the present system of SE- HONEST TAXPAYERS and who,| CRECY and ESPIONAGE. are the DISHONEST TAX) Secrecy Aids Bribery THIEVES | First, BRIBERY and CORRUP. The publicity plan proved ite|/TION to an extent never before success as a means of Insuring the | known are inevitable {f the govern- payment of the income tax during the civil war. Under the civil war Income tax the Individual returns were publi d and resulted In th uncovering of large frauds and delinquencies. But In 1870 when congress reached the lowest depths of corruption and venai sub- serviency to the rich, when the public lands were being turned over to the railroads in return for bribes almost openly given, when Jay Gould and Jim Fiske were popular heroes, the In- come tax law was amended to PROHIBIT PUBLICITY, Publicity Gets Them In ground urged wae ‘obnoxious to those who pald the tax.” What was the result? In 1870 when the returns were published the number showing in ‘ome over $2,000 was 94,887 In 1871 when publicity was pro- hibited the number fell to 74,776, and to 72,949 in 1872! The EXISTING system of com plete secrecy is at the basis of the present tax frauds. It is funda mentally wrong and un-American Taxpaying is public business, and public business ought to BE public Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo admits and has directed the at tention of congress to the enor mous frauds and evasions under the Income tax law He does not agree with the est! |mates given above as to the prob able AMOUNTS of the frauds, but he does agree that they ARE ENORMOUS. Must Make Them Pay I discussed with Secretary Mo Adoo upon three occasions what he proposes to do This is his answer “There can be no doubt that thousands of persons are suc- cessfully evading the income tax, and that wholesale frauds are being perpetrated in all parts of the country and among all classes of taxpayers. “People are not voluntarily going to pay this tax any more readily than they do any other, “They must be MADE to pay It, and this can be done only thru a very large Increase In the number of revenue agents and examiners. “We must do more than sim: ply examine the returns “We must build up a system that will give us knowledge of the identity and probable in- come of every person who ought to be subject to the tax. Call it ¢ e if you will ‘The tax is just and equitable and can ected by such tem as 1 hi outlined Asks for Amendments piona 1am asking congress for nearly | $1,00( 000 to inerease the force of income tax agents and for certat amendments which will make therm ffective First, they must be in a position to know who ought to make a re turn, and this 1 am proposing to ecure thru an amendment to the! law requiring every one with al GROSS income of over $3,000 to i profeasiona he mocrat tate convention tory f the convention by a picture of former “ r wan Hugh Wallace, of Washington, D. t C,, who also maintains, for a few 4 # a year, a idence at Tacoma, '* Wash., was elected as the national | *! committeeman of the party by a vote of 770 to 231 Judson W. |¢ | Shorett of Seattle " yrett represented the progres-| gate the mont importa state It dodged and sidestepped on SHALL THE RICH PAY THE BILL FOR PREPAREDNESS?

But there are two inevitable con- sequences which the American peo- ple and their representatives in congress should clearly understand before they consent to the exten- ment continues the present policy of keeping the returns secret, while leaving the fixing of the as- sessments in the hands of revenue agents and collectors. @ profits of evasion are enor- mous, the chances of detection neg- ligible. There are now 60 taxpayers who are paying income taxes of more }than $60,000 each per year. Several of these same multi-mill- }ionaires have, within recent years, | been detected in attempts to evade the customs duties where only a few thousand dollars were tnvoly- ed. that it They have demonstrated they will resort to fraud, and, necessary, to bribery. Five per| tax will pay the salary of any of the revenue agents for a year Jcent of the smallest | To save the taxpayer thousand jof dollars, the agent need not com-| mit any crime; he need only shut his eyes for a minute. The treasury department needs the publication of the returns to keep its collectors, Inspettors and agents free from any suspicion of graft. Sooner Put a spy behind every cur tain, busin Incom ed. turns broadcast In the news papers of America, and sources of income which are now um known will yield up a huge stream of revenue to the trea ury.

Sooner or later, by force of cir- cumstances, such graft will, in the shadow of secrecy, reach even to some of the higher offl- | clals until a system, safe be- cause of Its sure concealment, | will be developed, It is because we do not wish to| see the treasury department the} |scene of another whisky ring scan dal, or of another sugar customs scandal, that COMPLETE PUB LICITY OF RETURNS IS DE MANDED. The other tnevitable result of the method of collection advocated | by Secretary McAdoo is the crea-| tion of a bureaucratic spy system| of enormous proportions.
