The statement continues:
Severe Penalties Provided
The law makes it the duty of every person, firm or
corporation, whose possessions or incomes are taxable, to
make true and correct returns upon which the tax may
be assessed and collected. This information is of vital im
portance to every citizen, because notwithstanding that
j the bureau of internal revenue is the agency charged
with the collection of the taxes, it is not regarded that the
bureau of internal revenue shall find out and inform per
sons, firms or corporations of their responsibilities. Such
persons, firms and corporations must for themselves make
returns, which in the course of administration the bureau
of internal revenue will verify.
“Severe penalties are provided for failure upon the
part of any person, firm or corporation to make the cor
rect inventories and returns required.
Law Now In Effect
In the collection of the tax that will apply to articles
or commodities in stock on October 4, 1917, it is the pur
pose of the bureau to make through its field force prelim-;
inary inquiries of every person liable to tax to ascertain
his possessions in the way of taxable goods and the
amount of tax he is liable to pay. This preliminary in
quiry will be conducted over a period of probably a. week.
Within thirty days from the date of enactment of the law
every person, firm or corporation liable to floor tax must
file with the collector of internal revenue a time anil cor
rect inventory, under oath, of goods in his possession sub
ject to this tax. Attached to the inventory must be a sy
nopsis of the inventory and a statement of the amount
of tax to be paid on the goods covered by the inventory.
“This is known as a taxpayer’s return. Upon the ba
sis of this return and an analysis of the information dis
closed by the preliminary inquiry and the taxpayer’s in
ventory, the proper amount of tax will be determined.
Payment of the tax must be made to the collector of in
ternal revenue at the time of filing the return, but pay
ment may be extended to a date not exceeding seven
months from the passage of the act, upon the filing of a
bond of payment.
“The penalty for failure to comply with the require
ments of the law are for slackers.
“Upon every citizen rests the responsibility of con
tributing to the utmost of his ability toward the success
ful termination of the war. It is the unquestioned duty
of every true American citizen not only to pay the full tax
the law requires of him, but to remove every possible ob
stacle to the successful administration of the law by the
bureau of internal revenue.”
CURRENTS IN
OCEAN BRING
OUT NEW FISN
SAN FK A NCI SCO, Oct. 10, (By
Mail).—That a change in ocean cur
rents within the last year is bringing
new species of fish to the waters oil*
San Francisco is the belief of fisher -
men and of W. F. Bailey, chief clerk
of the State Fish Exchange, as the
result of recent catches of fish here
tofore little known here.
One of the most remarkable catches
was made recently when fishermen,
made a haul of 82,000 pounds of
plaice, a species of sole, most common
in waters around the British Isles and
some parts of the Atlantic.
Another catch made last week bear
ing out the theory of the change in
currents, was that of 8500 pounds of
halibut. Catches of halibut have been
almost unknown here, although it had
been imported here in large quanti
ties from British Columbia before the
war.
Mackerel and grayfish are two
other new fish that fishermen have
lately been catching. Both are known
on the southern Atlantic coast. Fish
ermen, also have caught 800 pounds
of grayfish, which, according to Bai
ley, is the first time grayfish has ap-1
peared orv any record of fish caught'
here.
The theory of change in ocean cur
rents is based upon the facts that fish |
follow their food, algea and diatoms,
which in turn, are carried by the cur
rents.
