HUNDRED BILLION

Profiteers to go to Jail it Is Announced Once More By W. H. ATKINS. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The gov. ernment has been defrauded of more than $100,000,000 through the failure of war profiteers to pay excess profits taxes and the evaders will be compelled to settle In full the back taxes due or go to Jail, it was declared officially at the treasury department today. Munitions manufacturers and makers of other necessary war suppiles needed by the government during- the war with Germany were said to be among the chlof offenders in this tax slacker class. The campaign of the treasury through the bureau of Internal revenue to round up tax evaders has brought to light amazing Instances of tax dodging, but has revealed information which will be made the basis of criminal prosecution by the department of Justice of Individuals and concerns now showed to have charged the government unjustifiable prices for war materials. The tax drive has opened up fresh avenues of inquiry through which officials predict enormous sums of money paid out loosely upon war contracts can be recovered by tha treasury. The extent of tax dodging by war profiteers was not fully known until a recheck was made of the audit of 1917 tax returns, in connection with the attorney general's probe of war department and shipping board contracts. Returns for 1917 as well as 1918. years In which individuals and concerns, suddenly amassed wealth in war material eals, showod that in hunJreds of cases, deliberate attempts wer- made to fasify returns. In a group of fifty or more cases, war contract concerns, each are Indebted to the government in sums ranging from $100,000 up to $1.100,000. In a fewer number of :ases the tax internal revenue bureau, rushing ahead with its ;lean up of such cases, is adding Jally to the evader list, and It may !e weeks before the total sum, actually recoverable in the frauds is sfflclally ascertained. Juggling of ledgers by the evaders, officials declared, probably will prevent the government from recovering maximum sums which should have Justly been pa!4 Into the treasjry. The liability of some of the profiteers may be increased by later lisclosures, probably by court actions in various districts. In this class of cases officials have confronted stubborn opposition by well paid counsel of the alleged offenders, in all attempts to force production )f valuable records, which are ither lostroyed or carefully concealed. In l great number of cases large payrents to the government hinge upon Ino interpretations as to the deduc.ible nature of certain profit items. Tho revenue bureau has ruled against rtany such claims, and will resort to ;he courts If necessary to force payment. In some cases, many of them' jivolving huge sums, it is Indicated that tax payors will elect to set :le with the government, rather than isk the danger of complete exposure n a criminal court trial. Officials were not privileged to dispose facts in more speclflo detail cparding the more flagrant cases of ax evasion, because of certain legal jmhibltions observed pending final uljustment. Details in many of the a.es may bo reserved for grand ury in expected actions where) ;rlmlnal provisions of revenue laws ire involved. 51 BODIES OF MINERS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SCRVICE SPANU-UfciK, Fa., Nov. 7.

Other thousands including President and Mrs. Harding, have already vot1 by mall, but the majority seliJ the opportunity for easily obtained leaves of absence to exe-cise their voting franchises in person. With most of thi cabinet members and their bureau chiefs absent from the city on political missions together with the senators and congressmen who are winding up the campaign in their home states, the machinery of the government was at a virtual standstill today awaiting the result of the voting. Although it is practically agreed here tha. the elections will not succeed wresting control of congress from the republicans, those in Washington who compose the administration and the thousands who depend for their livelihood, upon the swing of the political pendulum have a keen interest in the proceedings because of the indication that will be given of the presidential election in 1924. The scores of big governmental bureaus here probably are filled with equal numbers of republican.and democrats who cleave to their Jobs through the status tha the civil service insures regardless oi the party In power, but there art many others whoso positions are not filled by the civil service and whose tenure is purely political. Seventy-five thousand men and women are employed by tho government in Washington and it is estimated that probably half of that number will vote today. Neither party has made any accurate poll to determine the probable vote or the army of office-holders. The opinion prevailed, however, that I . throtich better orine rti"uuv.B ganlzatlon work this year wlJ draw a large number of their adhe-ents to the polls than will be mustered by the democrats. SAVES FOR STATE BODY f INTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE INDIANAPOLJS. Nov. 7. Indiana state highway -commission will be saved many thousand dollars through the decision of Judge Jonas P. Walker of the Hancock circuit court, in which he held that Walter Faut, a farmer, had no cause for action In seeking an injunction against the commission to prevent appropriation of land for widening a state highway. Judge Walker held that an legislative act of 1821 laid out a forty-eight-foot right of way for a road from Harbison, Ohio, to Indianapolis, and farmers since that time have encroached upon the state's land. When the commission recently attempted to widen the roadway. Mr. Faut obtained a restraining order. The court held that encroachment, although undisturbed, did not give title to the land. The decision will be brought to bear In causes where right of way in high construction Is contested. BIG C. 0. F.

TITLE IAW The Hooeter State Automobile Association should receive the credit for the enactment of the automobile certificate of title act, said a statement issued by M. E. Noblet, secretary-manager. This law also provides that the secretary of state may issue license plates in the various counties.' "The law is one of the most valuable, and its passage, due to the hard work of our organization, is generWly one of the most highly appreciated bits of public service we have been able to provide for the motor vehicle owners of Indiana," the statement sid. Much credit, it said, Is due to Ed. Jackson, secretary of state, "for his common sense and effective administration of this law, even though he In no wise inspired the law nor had part In its passage. During the year, nearly 200 cars have been recovered for their owners through the certificate of title act, and more than 100 automobile thieves have been apprehended, Mr. .Noble t said. VOTES FOR Today people of the Twin Cities voted an expression on building a city owned and maintained hospital. Tomorrow when the final returns are counted there will be found an overwhelming majority favoring the erection of a hospital. This result is inevitable. A city of 40,000 without a hospital In this day and age is not to be bragged of. A community of forty industries, sustaining an army of ovc- 30,000 workers, who are daily liable to every conceivable danger, should have a home for their sick and wounded. The burning question Is who should build this proposed hospital, the city or industries? The small taxpayer has enough on his shoulders now io it relieved of this expense would be a blessing.

That is the function of Advertising to create consumer demand and consumer preference. With this demand as a fact all selling plans have a chance to succeed. Without it they fail. The only chance for salesmanship to succeed without an existing demand is for salesmanship to assume the task that belongs to advertising the task of creating

demand. If the present efforts that are being put into selling were amply supported by a corresponding effort to create consumer demand through Advertising, the business conditions of this country would be rapidly changed into an era of great propr-'ly in sp:te of Old World conditions and everything else. The proof of this is in the fact that right now, under these very conditions, the manufacturers who are putting proper emphasis on creating a demand for their p-od'ict, as well as selling it, are doing a bir business and are actually getting the high turnover that others are trying r strenuously to get through intensive selling.
