The total tax oolluuted should have been not leas than $10D, (11)0,000. The nation whs thus do frau.lcil of at least $.120,000,000, und probably more.

These nre sione of tho questions' that must immediately 'spring to your mind. I am going to answer tlio Inst question first. The treasury dcumrt nient is nut inefficient, measured by government standards, and thore is tiqt a bit of evidence to Indleato tlmt corruption of jlrefSHry offisinUi in rn smiiisIMii for the eitonnona evnUions. 'I'he internal revenue bureau, whioli is rcsHiiwible for the eolleetiou of the tax, lacks the men necessary to en Torce the tax under the existing law and is not organised Ukhi lbs most efficient pJiui. Mat the treasury department is not in I he first plnec responsible for the failure lo collect the tax. ('ougiitss ltMinslhlo The original roNibilily rests upon congress for introducing into the law provisions whieh not only in vile fraud ami evasion, but also wake the detection of income tax thieves virtually iuiMssible. Congress invited fraud by prirrid iug for the secrecy of returns, by im isising the same criminal nwallicn upon any imtsoii for levealing any in formation regarding income frauds or evusious, thiil are iiasod uihmi the tax thief who ndis the treasury of millions. Congress stwiuluted eon cealmenl of income by providing that income from dividends need Hot lie reported by individuals unless the net income was more than I20.WM1.
