The government will prosecute a number of tNebraskang unless they "come across" in accordance with the war income tax law, federal officials say. "We are about 20.000 returns short of the number estimated for Nebras ka, said Internal Revenue Collector Loomis. "They are coming in at the rate of about 800 a day, but April 1, the limit of time, is only 10 days away, t seems evident that there is considerable attempted tax dodging going on. "I want to say that the government has a thousand various agencies at work to detect these 'money slack ers.' Some of them may think their little schemes are safe. But they may wake up to an unpleasant realization that the hand of the government is manifold and strong and active. No Excuses Go.. "We are going to prosecute the tax slackers just as vigorously as the draft slackers. No excuse will get by. A vast amount of publicity has been given to the law and there is no reason why anyone should fail to make his return. Just as soon as the time limit is up our inspectors and various other agencies will put their hands on the dodgers. They will be brought in and will discover that it is a dangerous and expensive thing to try to defy the government. "It is every loyal citizen's duty not only to make his own return, but also to notify the department ot any case in which a person is trying to evade th tax. And we have received hun dreds of such notifications from in dividuals." The law nrovides a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment of not more than one year for a person who fails to make a return or who makes a false return to the federal tax col lector. AH single persons with in romes of $1,000 or more and all mar ried persons with incomes of $2,000 or more must make the return.
