Income tax evaders who make
false or fraudulent returns may be
lined not to exceed §10,000 and
imprisoned for a term not exceed
ing one year. And. in addition, they
must pay to the Government fifty j
per cent of the tax evaded. We are
reminded of this by the announce- •
ment in today's dispatches, of the
Government's civil action against (
the greatest money baron of Ameri- >
ca, and moved to wonder if Uncle
Sam will merely collect the tax}
money that is due and let it go at '
that.
Crime waves, they say, follow in
the wake of wars. But the remark
able feature of the wave now sweep
ing the United States, is the appar
ent inability of the authorities to
apprehend offenders.
The Republicans of Fairbanks are
in heartv accord—on the question
cf grabbing all the plums in the
division. Beyond that, it cannot be
said that harmony prevails, owing
to the fact that the plums and the
plum-seekers do not work out at
all evenly.
ARMENIAN SEEF WIVES
Entente and American officials
and r lief workers entrusted with
the task of restoring Armenian
girls and women to their families
have found that many of the
who in the war were forcibly taken
into harems and became the- invol
untary wives of Turks and Arab;-,
preferred to continue as Turkish
wives and were unwilling to leave
their husbands.
They feared the hardships of life
among fellow countrymen who knew
of their servitude. Some of the girls
became attached to their foreign
husbands and said they liked the
life into which they had fallen. And
where the girls had children the
problem was doubly hard.
.The lot of some of the educated .
women ami girl?, says a correspond
ent of the Associated Press, writ
ing from Samsoun, Asia Minor, was
much more pitiable than that or
those who had enjoyed no advan
tages. American women relief work
ers found one ease m Central
Turkey especially perplexing. A girl
who was graduated from one of the
American mission colleges was tak
en captive in the early part of the
war. A prominent Turkish official
whose only wife had recently died
took the Armenian girl into his
dome. His mother and children be
,'ame much attached to the girt,
whose superior education made her
in important member of the eom
nunity.
The Turk was very influential
tnd. through the influence of the
roung Armenian, saved Armenian
-efugecs from persecution. He pro
posed to the gill and she finally
narried him. When the relief work
ins went to the Turkish home to
ind whether the young bride de
sired to be freed from her husband
.here was consternation in the fam
ly. The Turk and his mother and
■hildrcn were devoted to the girl
md begged the Americans not to
‘orce her to leave. The young wife
md one child.
The relief wo fliers talked to the
Armenian wife privately and to '.d
ler they would not insist up.-n her
eavin.g if she wanted to stay. She
old them she could not leave her
hild; that the Turk had been kind
:o her and'she felt that by remani
ng in- the village as the wife of
ts most prominent official she could
>e of greater assistance to Armen
ans than in any other way. The
rurkish husband and his fanrily
vere overjoyed when the Americans
old them they would not take the
rirl away. He promised he would
tot take another wife and gave the
\mericans rugs and other gifts as
»n expression of appreciation.
