Tax Dodgers Paid Large Sura Approximately $400,000,00 was collected fr>m income tax-dodgers last year, it is learned at the Treasury Department in Washington as first returns began to come in from the filing of returns onJ9I9 incomes. An equal or larger sum will be collected this year, Internal Revenue Bureau officials predicted. "additional tax" nearly equals the loss in revenue to the government from prohibition. "Additional tax" is the phrase used! by Treasury officials to avoid the J term "tax-dodgers." Part of the money i collected came from persons who had I no intention of defrauding the government, it was explained. Many corporations filed incorrect returns because they misinterpreted the tax regulations, officials declared. An entire section of the Internal Revenue Bureau was required, however, to discover the mistakes. Several hundred clerks are employed in this section here. In addition, a large staff of special investigators is in the field checking over persons with memberships in expensive clubs, owners of /J ly fail to keep on hand a bottie of \l b> mmtha Ls> certain preventive anc imonia and other res fm .

A large appropriation has been, ! asked by Internal Revenue Commis-' ' sioner Daniel C. Roper to carry on : the investigation work. It was begun about a year ago. The investigators worked on returns covering incomes received in both 1918 and 1917. From now until July 1 the investigators will work on the 191S returns.

Mr. Daniels proposed that five years' imprisonment and a 1 $5,000 fine be imposed for violation of the export ban. "The demand for heliam abroad is insistant," said the Secretary, "and great enough to consume the available supply in this country in a short time."
