THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1919 LUTHER COLE WRITES IMPORTANT NOTICE TO A ll TAXPAYERS . LETTER FROM PARIS In • statement received by the Collector of Intern»l Revenue. Milton A. Miller, from Commis sioner Daniel C. Roper, taxpay- era are cautioned against allow ing themaelveft to be imposed upon by strangers who claim to be “ Ideóme Tax Experta.” They should discriminate carefully be tween really helpful, authorative advice in tax matters, and irre sponsible advice. Mr. Roper states further that the bureau is arranging to fur nish for the benefit o f Income Tax payers ip every city and town in the country, a free aovisory service by trained collectors, agents, inspectors and deputies. A t the offices of Collectors and their Deputies and at other cen tral points, free information and advice with respect to filing re turns under the new Revenue Bill may be had up to the final date for filing such returns. Banks. Trust Companies. an0 similar responsible institutions have always cooperated in fur nishing authentic Income Tax in formation, and have generously offered to serve the government and taxpayers in this respect again this yeur. It is the aim o f the Bureau to bring its agen cies as close as |>ossible to every person and to make available in. official form all necessary inform ation regarding the requirements of the law. The Bureau wel comes aid from every resi>onsible agency in its efforts to enlighten the people on tax matters. Every taxpayer is assured of a square deal from the government based ehtirely on the tax laws and regulations and the facts in his case. No other influence is allowed to enter Into Internal Revenue matters and the state ment of any firm or individual that they are in a position to exert special influence with In ternal Revenue officers is wholly without foundation in fact. Pains taking and open minded consid eration is given in every case re gardless of whether the taxpayer ap¡>ear in person or by attorney. Firms oc persons who offer to prosecute claims against the gov ernment can secure no speciul consideration beyond the merits o f the claims as determined by :he facts and the law. Any former government officer or employe is barred by statute from acting as counsel, attorney or agent f< r prosecuting claims against the United States whiV'h were ponding while lie was an officer or employe; and is also burred from aiding in any man ner t|u> prosecution of such claims within two years after leaving the government service. Very respectfully. MILTON A. MILLER, Collector. i ] B* ■ nf _________________________ i ________ * - f f/ * ? }\ Paris, France, January 13 Dear Father:— Will try and write you a few lines as 1 have a little mere time to write now. I guess you folks think I am on the way home by this time, I am very sorry to say no. The division is on the way home, but not all the boys. One company from the 162 Infantry was sent to Paris as a guard. I was one that had to go. There are six boys from company M, so here I am in Paris but don't mind it. The duty is not hard, and we have a good chance to see the city. I have been here fifteen days, but have not seen much yet. Well. I hope I can come home in time for base ball next spring. I have not received any mail o f any kind for a long time. I hope to hear from you soon, and will have to clese for this time. With love, your son, Corporal Luther Cole, {Second Provost Guard Company, Paris, France.
