(tapers and local propaganda cam
paign-., are planned as features of the
nation's next great finincial task, the
collection of about .SK.ftfM).000,000 in

Internal Revenue Commissioner
Rop r is making preparations for a
great drive in January* nnd February
to get the ten million persons who
probably will In* subject directly to
government taxes to file their returns
early, accurately and willingly.
“Kven with our great tax gather
ing machinery already built up in col
lection districts throughout the count
ry.” *aid Commissioner Roper, “wo
can rot gather £X,000,000.000 of taxes
without the hearty cooperation of the
people who pay. It must and will be
their job a> much as that of the gov
ernment authorities. ‘
On this principle, a great educat-j
*nal movement, is bo;ng planned, with *
-nut waiting for Congress to enact
:inall\ the ,evm;ue bill which will de- !
term ne just how much tax is to b* j
collected and fiom what soources it l- '.
to eome. Kusiness men in every com-1
: ' of commons
trade, fanners’ and labor organiza
tion.-. churches, lodges, schools an.i
oth“i* organizations will be asked tl> ,
i ndeitake to show citizens precisely
1 ow t«> figure theii taxes, What dr - *
actions from income are permissible,
how their business records should b |
keut to provide the best guides fo» ;
t;:v reports, and how to make intelli
gent returns, giving neither less nor:
more than is expected under the law.
By such a system, officials hop'
t> minimize tax evasions. But to.
guard against the inevitable slacking,,
information viill be sought through)
these channels to be used in checking
up returns and ascertaining beyond :i .
doubt when returns art true.
