MANY MILLIONS
FROM ALIENS
FOR TAXES
NEW YORK, June 29 (by Associated
Press).—Between nine and ten mil
lions of dollars have been gathered
from outgoing aliens who were toe
modest to declare the full amount oi
their earnings for income tax pay
ments and many thous-ands more are
being collected from delinquent aliens
who boast of their ample incomes tc
immigration inspectors to convince
these officials that they can easily
care for incoming dependents, accord
ing to a statement made public here
by Colonel Daniel L. Porter, supervis
tag internal revenue agent of the fed
eral income tax collecting service.
Forty-five agents have been kept
busy at the piers and elsewhere in the
city collecting the millions from out
going aliens. A small squad in a
bureau established close by the courts
of special inquiry at the Ellis island
station, lend attentive ears to the
boasts of the aliens.
bor the months ot February, March
and April the reports show that more
than $30,000 was collected at Ellis
island from alien tax dodgers, while
three times that amount was traced
to other localities and the collectors
there notified. The reports for May
are not yet filed, but the amount col
’ected it said to have increased with
the increasing flow of immigration.
“A resident alien,” explained Colonel
Porter, “goes to the immigration sta
tion to sponsor a relative or friend for
admittance to this country, knowing
the government’s requirements that a
responsible party must guarantee that
the immigrant will not become a pub
lic charge. The resident alien goes
prepared to state on oath that his in
come is ample to safeguard the public
against such dependents. Whether or
not this resident alien has paid his
income tax becomes the immediate
subject of interest for our agents.
They call the delinquent into a con
ference and, after allowing such ex
emptions as he may be entitled to,
levy tax on the remainder of his
sworn statement of income.
“When the tax dodger is a resident
of some city or town not in our dis
trict his sworn statement is forwarded
to the local collectors, who make the
collections. In other cases they are
made here and the money sent to the
collector of the district wherein the
tax dodger resides. Most moneys so
collected range in amounts of from
$15 to $500 and represent taxes due
the government on small business con
cerns and on wages.”
GOOD DRAMA TONIGHT
AND BIG BILL ON FOR
BALDHEADS TOMORROW
r '
“The Law of Men,” as played by
Enid Bennett, is a strong dramatic
play the scenes of which center in
New York Bohemia; a story of two
women and three men whose lives met
and crossed tragically because of the
weakness of one of the women, and
the infamy of a man. It is a story
istrong in plot and strongly acted by
a picked group of players. It is re
peated tonight for the last time.
Tomorrow the comedy extravaganza,
“The Million Dollar Dollies.” The
'very title suggests luxury, daintiness,
fascination. And when you discover
that the “Dollies” are none other than
the celebrated dancing beauties from
Ziegfield’s “Midnight Frolic,” Rosziki
and Yansci Dolly, who wandered from
the New York Roof Garden long
enough to make this spectacular and
gorgeous production, the interest
heightens.
The scenes are laid with Oriental
splendor, in keeping with the brilliant
story that has been written to display
the talents of the Dolly Sisters. Mar
velous dancing and superb swimming
are among the special features, and as
for gowns! Reserve your seats well
toward the front, for tomorrow is bald
headed row right.

SANTA FE, N. M.( June 29 (by As
. sociated Press).—If a recommendation
by the taxpayers’ association of New
, Mexico is favorably acted upon by the
, next session of the state legislature
and a constitutional amendment is
ratified by the people, this state will
be the first in the union to reduce its
elective state officers to a governor
and lieutenant governor.
At a meeting of the association in
October, 1919, it was recommended
that the number of elective officers
be reduced to prevent duplication of
work, provide for greater efficiency
and reduce state expenditures. Under
the plan proposed the governor would
“nominate and by and with the advice
and consent of the senate appoint all
other state executive and administra
tive officers created by the constitu
tion or laws of the state of New Mex
ico, including those hereafter to be
created, and all such officers shall
hold their respective offices during
the pleasure of tne governor.”
EMIGRATING FROM
PHILIPPINE ISLES
HONOLULU, T. H., June 29 (by
Associated Press).—Dr. C. B. Cooper,
representing the territorial board of

nouncement by the health authorities.

and are coming to work in the sugar
fields of the Hawaiian islands and
police and medical authorities
here have stated their belief that

down the number of undesirables
shipped from the Philippines.
