Investigating Illinois Farmers Who Failed to Report Incomes.

Illinois farmers who failed to make report of their incomes for the purpose of taxation are being investigated and Daniel J. Chapin, special agent of the treasury department, who has had charge of the government inspectors, reports that 2,500 farmers in tha.t state failed to file properTncotnetaxscheduTes. The inspectors say the failure to file the schedules was not an effort to evade the law but was due to the inability of the farmers to understand what was required. It is probable that the investigation will be made in other state also.
