DELUGED WITH RETUEIfS
Omaha Neb Jan 22 That
Nebraska corporations have- been
taught an expensive and not t
be forgotten lesson by being se
verely penalized for failure to
make a report on business- trans
actions for 1910 Avilhrai the time
prescribed by internal revenue
vgulations is videnccd by the
fact that Ross Hammond collect
or of internal revenues for the
Nebraska district as deluged with
returns made by corporations for
1911 The law allows them until
Mia roll 1 but many have- been so
badly frightened by the
sale filing of suits for negligence
by the United States attorney
that they are getting their re
ports in a month early Mr
Hammond believes that if -the
present rate of returned reports
is kept up until March 1 there
Avill be no necessity to demand
the penalty proAnded for from de
linquent corporations for the
reason thait -all of the 38S9 cor
porations in the state AAiill have
i gotten under the Avire Avithin the
prescribed time limit
