PAGE 4, COME TAX STEAL AND THEN, AFTER THE PEOPLE HAVE BEE ROBBED OF MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS, SUGGEST A TIME- CONSUMING INVESTIGATION AS A MEANS OF AVOIDING PROSECU- TION OF THE THIEVES? WE DEMAND that President Wilson order his attorney general, Greg- ory, to apply immediately for an injunction to stop the increase in the price of coal and institute criminal proceedings against the coal barons as punish- ment for their past crimes! WE DEMAND that President Wilson order his secretary of the treasury, McAdoo, to publish income tax returns immediately, so that the tax thieves may be known, and enforce the criminal penalties of the income tax law against all concerned in this, THE MOST STUPENDOUS STEAL of the cen- tury! Stop the Thieves A! TORNEY GENERAL THOMAS W. GREGORY has called upon the fed- eral trade commission to investigate the big increase in the price of an- thracite coal which has been announced as a result of the comparatively small increase in wages recently granted the anthracite coal miners. The attorney general charges that “on similar occasions in the past, when wages have been advanced, the railroad coal companies, on the pretext of increasing prices for the purpose of meeting the increased cost of production resulting from the higher wages, have made much greater increa8es than were necessary for that purpose.” This is the attorney general’s polite way of saying that the coal barons have consistently robbed the public on every possible pretext. He points out in particular that during each of the four years since 1912 the coal barons have robbed the people of $12,000,000 in this manner, so that their total booty is about $50,000,000 for the four years. This incident, is of the greatest interest to the American people, not only because it directs attention to an enormous and criminal drain on their pocketbooks, but even more because it shows how inefficiently the federal government’s machinery works in the protection of the public. In the first place, why does the attorney general dilly-dally in asking for an investigation, instead of instituting proceedings to PREVENT THE CON- SUMMATION OF THIS CONSPIRACY TO ROB THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? In the second place, the information upon which the attorney general bases his charges is contained in a report made by Basil M. Manly at the di- rection of the house of representatives in 1912. Now comes the attorney general, FOUR YEARS AFTER MANLY EXPOSED THIS OUTRAGEOUS STEAL, and suggests ANOTHER INVESTIGATION! Furthermore, this is the same Basil M. Manly whose expose of the $320,- 000,000 income tax frauds has been published in the columns of The Star. Manly is a more seasoned and competent investigator today than*he was in 1912, when he exposed the $12,000,000 anthracite coal steal, and the income tax frauds which he is now exposing are TWENTY-FIVE times as .great as the coal trust’s steal. IS THE FEDERAI FORE IT TAK Senator Confirms Income Tax Fraud Charges! FFICIAL confirmation of The Star's campaign to stop the enormous income tax frauds is given by Sen. J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois in a remarkable speech delivered at a banquet of the Illinois Manufacturers’ asso- ciation. Branding many of those seated with him at the luxurious board as ta dodgers, Sen. Lewis drove home his charge with tremendous force. He told the assembled manufacturers and bankers: ‘ “Preparedness is going to cost money. When congress enacted the in- come tax law, you fought it; you took the case into the courts and you were beaten. Since that law went on the statutes, | am informed by treasury of- ficials, more than 13,000 MEN HAVE BEEN THREATENED with prosecu- tions for attempting to dodge it. Those men are not the ones who will have io fight our battles if we go to war. They are the men who will remain at home, as you will probably do, who will run the business of the country while someone else is fighting to preserve it for them. “No, my friends, you are not the ones who will enlist. Rather, you are the ones who will attend patriotic banquets, like this here tonight, with nu- merous distinguished guests and speakers—guests and speakers whom you never hesitate to condemf, and condemn without full knowledge as to why you condemn them.” bs +) GOVERNMENT TO SLUMBER FOUR Y OG K 2OMOGIOIE MUDIE IO UK0I KG URRICK KOO MK MCB RIK A Eee ee “PIDGIN 1X6 OOM MEDI KA ORE ISLAND” By Harold MacGrath A Novel Next Week “Son of the Wind” By Lucia Chamberlain Copyright by the A Week!
