Enmity of Countries Results
in Mobilizing Classes.
COPENHAGEN, July 18.—Enmity be

mobilized seven classes. The service to
which the latter will be called was not
known, blit there were reports that the
soldiers might ho sent into action along

ity that the lighters might be gent to
Asia Minor to assist the had-presse-1

Cottlngham, county auditor from the re
turns of the township assessors in Hamil
ton County there is loss of taxable
property to the amount of $1,293,015 com
pared with the assessment last year. This
loss is lurgely on personal property
among the farmers and is due, it is said,
in a large measure, to the decline in the
price of farm products during the last
year.
The total taxable property In Hamil
ton County this year and on which the
September tax levy wilt be made 1*
$50,728,850 as compared with $52,021,865

jFRADULENTTAX
RETURNS REACH
TWENTY MILLION
Indictments Returned in
Every Section of Country
for Revenue Frauds.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—Approxi
mately twenty million dollars was added
to the Government’s revenues during the
fiscal year Just ended through recoveries
from false and fraudulent income tax
returns, Commissioner Blatr has an
nounced.
Indictments have been returned during
the year in every section of the country,
he said, and many Jail sentences have
been imposed, ranging from sixty days
to a year, in addition to the fines and
penalties, which were also assessed.
“Frapd upon the revenue by way of
filing false and fraudulent tax retruns
appears In many unique ways,” Blair
said. “Some taxpayers are extremely
crude In their methods, and reduce their
taxes by merely omitting large items of
income from these returns. Thus, in one
instance, a prominent merchant in one
of our larger cities owned and operated
two stores. For three years’ straight he
omitted entirely from his returns the in
come of one of the two stores.
“In another Instance a prominent man
received approximately one-half of his
Income as salary from a corporation, of
which corporation he owned practically
all the stock. The corporation took this
salary as a deduction and a necessary
expense; the man himself entirely
omitted to report this salary, never
thinking that the corporation’s return
would be checked against his individual
return.
“Manipulations of inventory are not
I infrequently found, and these can al
ways be-checked acurately by the field
| examiners of the bureau, and up busl
! ness of any size can keep accurate stocks
and at the same time manipulate inven
tories. Some taxpayers, evidently, are
of the belief that they can hire un
scrupulous accountants who reconstruct
their books, and then If the fraud Is
discovered blame It all on the account
ants, to whom ihey usually pay large
fees. In many instances field examiners
have discovered that taxpayers keep two
sets of books, one set accurately setting
forth the status of the business, and the
other set fraudulently setting forth their
income, and merely kept for the pur
pose of defrauding the Government. It
Is safe to say that in nine out of ten
of these lattad eases the fraud is dis
covered within a short time after it is
perpetrated."

for Soldier Word
Kept , Sayq Colonel
COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 18—“ The
fact that the ex-servtce man Is becom
ing embittered toward the financial
and business Interests of the country
by reason of their opposition to ad
justed compensation for him is laying
the foundation for a far greater eco
nomic loss than would the payment
of a cash bonus.”
These are the words of Col. 11.
W. Bush, member of the Ohio Na
tional Guard, well known throughout
Ohio, and who saw active service
overseas during the receut World
War.
Arguing In favor of the cash bonus
for soldiers, addressing the military
committee of the Columbus Chamber
of Commerce, Colonel Bush continued .
“We promised the American soldier
when he went to France nothing
would be too good for him when he
returned. We have kept our word—
for nothing is what he has received.”
