Seattle V. S. A. Jan. 1C, 1918.
Editor Prospector: We arrived in
Seattle December 24th at 1:38 p. m.
and reported at Fort Lawton at 2:30
and Were allowed to leave until 8:00
a. m., December 26th and so far have’j
had a very enjoyable time, including
one six day pass on which I went to
Spokane and had more good times.:
but these good times do not last long
enough, but the four of us go to town
almost every evening and see the pic
tures or go to a real theatre or in
some other way enjoy ourselves.
There is not very much of anything i
being done around this post except
recruiting and shipping. It is not a
real training camp like Camp Lewis.
There are in all probably 350 or 400!
men here, nearly all corps men, no
infantry. I believe the men at Camp
Lewis are being moved out pretty fast t
now to make room for those coming
on the new draft which I think will
v
take place pretty soon.
How is the weather up there now?
Down here it is as usual (very wet. i :
Give the people up there our kindest
regards. i I am speaking for the four
of us. I
Since being doNvn here 1 have met
several of the Valdez people, and saw
more who I did not get a chance to
speak with. John Zugg is in an army
officer’s uniform and Is stationed at
Juneau. I saw Geo. Love, Win. Glen
denning, and several more and talk-!
ed wth Ignatius Daniels, Frank Hull.
Mitch the Barber, Geo. Strixner, Capt.
Douglas. Meyer Blum, and quite a
few more whom I just cannot think'
of now.
I will write again if I find anything
of interest. Good bye.
Respectfully.

IM BOOKED
Unde Hiun Now Preparing to IJst
Names of All Persona Drawing
$800 or Over
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.—
Will jronr name be in the great
American "Doomsday Book" which
the treasury department is now com
piling as the basis of its machinery
for tax collection?
If you received $800 or more this
year in wages, salary, interest, divi
dends. rents, or profits on specula
tion, your name will be there. And
what is more, along with your name!
will be an exact record of the amounts
you received from each of these
sources.
When William the Conqueror took;
control of England he found nearly;
all his unwilling subjects dodging
their taxes in scandolous fashion. So
in 1085 he set about making a com
plete list of all land and other prop
erty-holders in his kingdom, with a
record of everything they possessed.
This great record the British appro
priately called the "Doomsday Book"
because they knew it spelled doom
for the tax dodgers.
Uncle Sam is now rmilding up his
own “Doomsday Book,” so as to end
evasion of federal taxation, particu
larly income and inheritance taxes.
When completed it will be a marvel
ously exact record of the financial
condition of every taxable person and|
corporation in the United States. Itj
will be a sure trap for the people who
try to dodge their war taxes.
In the last revenue bill there are
two sections, 1219 and 1211. which
most people never heard of. Thesej
sections provide the material lor Un-j
cle Saiu's “Doomsday Book.” Every!
corporation is required, on demand ol'j
the treasury department to furnish a]
complete list of all its stockholders!
with names, addresses, number of|
shares held and amount of dividends!
paid. Every broker is required to I
tile with the treasury a list of all,
transactions for customers, whether'
speculative or for investment, show-|
ing the amounts of their profits or
losses- -not only stock sp“Culation,
but dealings in grain and cotton fu
tures, and all other kinds of trans
actions.
Furthermore—all persons, corpora
tions. and partnerships, including
lessees, trustees, receivers and em
ployers, are required to make a com
plete return of all amounts of $800
or more paid during the year in sal
aries, wages, interest, rent, prem
iums, annuities or any other form of
compensation to persons, corporations
or partnerships. In the case of inter
est on bonds, mortgages, etc., a re-j
turn is required regardless of the
amount.
This means that every corporation 1
must furnish the government with aj
complete list of all employes who re-1
ceive in wages or salaries $800 a|
year or more.
As these returns come in they are!
card indexed, with a card for every!
person whose name appears.
All amounts a person receives from
all sources are brought together In
one place.
Thus, for John Doe, there may be
half a dozen cards—one showing that
he received $4000 salary from the P.
D. Q. Corporation; another showing
he owns some steel stock which paid
$1000 dividends last year; another
showing he owns land for which he
received $900 rent; another showing
he dabbled in stocks last year with
Skinnem & Soakem. brokers, and
cleaned up $1500 in copper; and an
other showing he received $1200 roy
alty on a patent.
When John Doe goes to make up
his income tax return this year he
may want to forget some of the Items.
He may think, “Well, nobody knows
about that little flyer In coppers. I
guess I will leave that out. Nobody
will be any wiser, and just look how
much tax 1 have to pay without that.
Surely I am doing my snare of paying
for the war.”
But Uncle Sam will know! He
may not know within six months or
a year, because the filing and index
ing of the millions of cards is a
colossal task. But he Is going to fin
ish that job sooner or later. Then
a clerk will take John Doe’s sworn
tax return, go to the card file and
get put all the cards that show pay
ments to John Doe. He will compare
these with the tax return and And
that JPhn left out that $1500 proAt
on stock speculation. He will report
that to the district attorney, and
some morning John Doe '•rill And him
self In pourt facing a prospective pen
alty of $$0O0Ane and la' year In the
federal penitentiary. ' i
tt may t>e two or three years be
fore John Doe is eaujfht, bat UnCle
Sam's revenue afcents 'neter let up.

Chapter of the American Hod Cross,
our sincere appreciation and hearty
thanks for the very useful Xmas
packages the undersigned have just
received through your kindness and
liberality of your chapter. To say we

received we recognize and fully ap
preciate the noble spirit displayed by
each and every one of your chapter

loneliness of a Christmas spent away \
from, in many cases, our families and
friends, for the fi-st time in many
years. Finally we would say. that to
know we have the whole-hearted de-;
votibn and support of the ladies of1
your noble organization and the. wo
men of America of every walk of
life, is the greatest gift you can give
us and one which we appreciate the
most. To know and realize that you
are everywhere solidly hack of us will
strengthen our hands and our spirits
when the day comes to'mak^the su
preme sacrifice for the cause so dear
to all our hearts. We know we go
to meet a ruthless foe. We know we
will conquer, if the women give us
their undivided support and we feel
confident they will.
Again thanking you. and wishing
you all a very happy New Year and
a prosperous one.
