WASHINGTON, D. C„ Nov. 5.—
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Hoper, in an interpretative state
^ ^jnent of the operation of the War
Tax Revenue Law, has given no
tice to the public to make its tax
returns to the Government.
The notice- states that although
all returns -could be verified, in no
case would the Government take the
initiative in bringing in the re
turn®. Hence it was stated every
body concerned should communi
cate promptly with the nearest rc
vei-ue office.
Persons failing to make returns,
1\Ir. Roper announced, are to be
regarded as tax slackers and penal
tier will be enforced against them.
As outlined in the statement, the
following persons arc affected and
must make returns to the Govern
ment:
“All individual! receiving in
comes of more than $1000 a year.
‘All corporations, joint stock
-companies and associations.
“All distillers, rectifiers, whole;
talers and retailers, holders cf dis
tilled spirit^ intended for sale or to
be used for manufacturing pur
poses.
“Ail dealers in fermented and
ma.t liquors, wine, cordials, li
queurs, domestic and imported.
‘All dealers in soft drinks, table
waters and carbonic acid gcs.
“All manufacturers of and deal
ers in cigars, Mga.rrettes, tobacco,
snuff and cigarette papers.

"All persons executing legal do
cuments of any type.
"All traders on produce or stock
exchanges and boards of trade.

The statement continues:
"The law makes it the duty of
every person, firm or corporation,
whose possessions or incomes are
taxable, to make true and correct
returns upon which the tax may be
assessed and collected. This infor
mation is of vital importance to
every citizen, because notwithstand
ing that the Bureau of Internal Re
venue i,s the agency charged with
the administration of the new law
and the collection of the taxes, it is
not regarded that the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue shall find out and
inform persons, firms or corpora
tions must for themselves make re
turns, which in the course of the
administration the Bureau of Infer
nal Revenue will verify.
"Severe penalties are provided
for failure upon the part of any
person, firm or corporation to make
the correct inventories and returns
required.
“In the collection of the tax
that will apply to articles or com
modities in stock on Oct. 4, 19V'
it is the purpose of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue to make through
its field force preliminary inquiries
of every person liable to tax to as
certain his possessions in the wav
of taxable goods and the amount
of tax he i® liable to pay. This
preliminary inquiry will he con
ducted over a period of probably a
week.
"Within 30 days from the date
of enactment of .he' new law. every
person, firm or corporation liable
to floor tax must file with the Col
lector of Internal Revenue a true
and correct inventory, uvder oath,
of goods in his possession subject
to this tax. Attached to the inven
tory must be a synopsis of the in
ventory and a statement of the
amount of tax to *>o paid on 'lie
good,* covered hy the inventory.
"This is known as a taxpayer's
return. Upon the basis of this re
turn and an analysis of the infor
mation disclosed by the prelimi
nary inquiry ,ul the taxpayer's in
ventory, the p’oper amount of tax
will be determined. Payment, of
the tax must be made to the Col
lector of Internal Revenue at the
time of fling the return, but pay
ment may be e tended to a date not
exceeding seven months from the
payment. This bond uni-t be given
| with an approved corporate surety
! company in a penal sum of not h ss
| than double th- amount of the- tax
and in no case less than
"The penalties for failure to
comply with the requirements of
law are those provide:! for slack-j
ers.
"Upon every citizen rests the re- .
sponsibility of contributing t'.e nt- 1
most of his ability toward the s ic
cessful termination of the war. It
is the unquestioned duty of every
true American citizen not only to
pay the full tax the law requires of
him. but to remove every po.-sible
obstacle to the successful adminis
tration ot the law oy the Bureau of
Internal Revenue.
“Under the circumstances, it is a
high privilege for every citizen to'
comply strictly with the terms of:
the law and to make it a part of;
his duty to see that every other citi-J
zen does likewise.”
Private individuals will not have!
to make their income tax returns '
to the Collector of- Internal Re
venue until March 1 of next year.
The ame is true of all corpora-j
tions with the. exception of these!
whose fiscal year is already estab-1
lislied at some other date.
