MUCH LOOSENESS FOUND
IN COLLECTION REVENUES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29—Chairman
Couzens of the special senate com
mittee investigating the internal rev
enue bureau declared in a statement
today that the committee had found
“much looseness in the execution of
the work of the bureau, resulting in
the loss of millions of dollars in rev
enue.”
“In some of the cases-,” the chair
man declareed, “the department offi
cials have admitted errors and while
the committee charges no dishonesty
it finds much looseness in the execu
tion of the work.”
Noting that a review had been or
dered of one case involving an over
allowance of $600,000 in taxes to one
company, Senator Couzens said spe
cial investigators were now working
on other cases which will be taken
up by the committee. He invited the
public to send in suggestions for sim
plifying the procedure of the burdau
as well as the statutes.
There are 1,000,000 persons look
ing for jobs in England, and many
of them are afraid they will find
them.
An old saying, but a true one: “A
donkey never succeeds in making
anything but an ass bf himself.”
