on the demand of the miners for an

Should tbev fail to break the

understood the leaders of the miners
will prepare a set of losolulions to be
sent to the miners' convention May

would wuite their demand for the
adoption of the "check-oft" system.
This request was denounced by the

lo use the "cheek off" to collect

should have been not leas than $10D,

Who nre the tliiovea?
la the treasury demttwnt woo
fully iuefficieul or corrupt?
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. C'ou-re-s
encouraged evasion by proviil
inir thai rctunis should be made only
when the net income of individuals
exceeded fc'UMH).
Congress protected the thievas by
providing that the income lax returns,
although described as "pidilui record-,"
should be open lo puMitf iu-sH-elion
only iimr formal order of
the president under the regulations of
the secretary of the treasury.
