EXTRACT SIRUPS FROM SWEET POTATOES NEW USE FOR SURPLUS SPUDS FOUND BY BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY TUBERS WILL YIELD FROM 30 TO 35 PER CENT OF WEIGHT IN MOLASSES Experiments conducted in the Bureau of Chemistry have produced a palatable and wholesome syrup from sweet potatoes, the United States Department of Agriculture announces. The method, developed by a specialist in the bureau, is recommended particularly for home use where there is an oversupply of sweet potatoes. The method is not recommended at present for commercial use, because it is believed that sweet-potato syrup can not compete on a commercial basis with grain syrups. The sweet-potato syrup, which shows a yield of from 30 to 35 per cent of the weight of the sweet potatoes, has consistence, taste, and color similar to cane and sorghum syrups. It is known to contain much sugar. Experiments to determine its exact food value are being conducted by the Home Economics Office of the Department. The sweet potatoes should be washed, any decayed portions or other blimishes removed, and then weighed roughly broken up by stirring until the malt is thoroughly disseminated. On a small scale this is most readily accomplished as described. On a large scale an ordinary cider press, using racks and cloths, can be successfully employed. The liquor obtained is slightly sweet and rather turbid. Plenty of water should be used in order to produce a mash from which the liquor will freely flow and in which a large proportion of the sugars may be easily removed by a single pressing. The total quantity of water used should be two or three times the weight of the potatoes. The sweet-potato syrup can be balled down to as thick a consistence as desired. The pulp which remains can be dried and used for feed, or it can be fed while fresh. TAX DODGERS How does Uncle Sam deal with tax dodgers? This inquiry, which was prompted by the severe penalties provided in the new revenue bill, has brought from Commissioner Daniel C. Roper a frank statement as to the Internal Revenue Bureau's attitude toward those who attempt to evade taxation. "Any person who deliberately conceals tax liability, or who falsifies a return in order to reduce or evade any internal revenue tax, or who deliberately abets such concealment or fraud, finds arrayed against him the entire strength of this bureau pressing for the full civil and criminal penalties. That is the attitude toward the tax dodger, expressed in one sentence. Whether he is a moonshiner, a stealthy trafficker in habit-forming drugs, a juggler of income figures, a delinquent in making the sworn return the law requires, or a revenue violator of any The sweet potato syrup, which shows a yield of from 30 to 35 per cent of the weight of the sweet potatoes, has consistence, taste, and color similar to cane and sorghum syrups. It is known to contain much sugar. Experiments to determine its exact food value are being conducted by the Home Economics Office of the Department. The sweet potatoes should be washed, any decayed portions or other blemishes removed, and then weighed. They are then placed in a kettle with plenty of water and boiled until thoroughly soft. From 1½ to 2 hours' boiling is required. The potatoes are then mashed in the kettle in the water in which boiled, with sufficient water, adding more if necessary to form a thick, smooth, mushy liquid. The temperature of the mixture is then brought to 140 deg. F., and a quantity of ground malt added equal to 3½ per cent of the weight of the original sweet potatoes. The mixture is thoroughly stirred and allowed to stand for a few minutes at a temperature of 140 deg. F., and the temperature is then brought with constant stirring to a temperature of 150 deg. F., the source of heat removed, and the mass allowed to stand with occasional stirring for an hour. The mixture, known technically as the "mash," is now pressed in cloths to separate the liquid and solid portions. The material is placed in cloth bags, which are closed, and the bags subjected to gentle pressure while kneeding. The juice flows out readily, leaving the pulp behind. The juice is now boiled down to syrup in an ordinary kettle. Any of the common varieties of sweet potatoes can be used. Freshly harvested stock will yield a syrup somewhat less sweet than sweet potatoes which have been harvested for some time. The sweet potatoes should be cooked with plenty of water. It is necessary to obtain a fluid, musky mass which can be mixed readily with the malt. Great care must be taken that the temperature of the mass be uniform throughout during the action of the malt. Ordinary brewer's or distiller's malt of good quality gives excellent results, or the malt can be made by sprouting barley under proper conditions. In preparing malt from barley the following method will give satisfactory results: The grain should be soaked in water for 12 hours. The water is then drained off and the grain allowed to stand for 12 hours, and the operation return in order to reduce or evade any internal revenue tax, or who deliberately abets such concealment or fraud, finds arrayed against him the entire strength of this bureau pressing for the full civil and criminal penalties. That is the attitude toward the tax dodger, expressed in one sentence. Whether he is a moonshiner, a stealthy trafficker in habit-forming drugs, a juggler of income figures, a delinquent in making the sworn return the law requires, or a revenue violator of any other kind, the bureau is charged with the duty of hunting him out and executing the full punishment provided in the law. "Toward the taxpayer who means to comply with the internal revenue laws, fully and honestly, the bureau extends a helping hand. Co-operation with the taxpayer is our watchword and objective." "These two contrasts—the teeth of the law for the tax dodger and the violator, and the aid of every lawful agency for the voluntary taxpayer—are policies necessary to the administration of tax laws under modern conditions. "One of the most difficult of the many problems in tax collecting is to classify those who fail to fulfil the obligations imposed by law. The bureau is obliged to maintain a large staff and to use the utmost discretion in properly labeling these cases. Evenhanded justice is a heavy responsibility, and only through careful sifting can delinquents be classified. "There are three distinct classes of delinquency with which we have to deal. First, the taxpayer who had reasonable cause, brought about by exceptional conditions beyond his control; secondly, the fellow who didn't look up or didn't realize his obligations; and thirdly, the person who wilfully evaded compliance with the law. "As for the man who shows a reasonable cause within certain lines established by the bureau, no penalties are asserted. All other delinquents are more carefully investigated before prosecution is begun. Many of these offenses are caused by ignorance and negligence. Failure to make the reports required by law may in some cases warrant severe penalty, as where the delinquent continues his delinquency after being warned of the penalty for failure to make return. However, if the delinquent takes immediate corrective action, and it is clearly established through investigation that he did not wilfully violate the law, the bureau allows him to compromise his..." Ordinary brewer's or distiller's malt of good quality gives excellent results, or the malt can be made by sprouting barley under proper conditions. In preparing malt from barley the following method will give satisfactory results: The grain should be soaked in water for 12 hours. The water is then drained off and the grain allowed to stand for 12 hours, and the operation of soaking and standing repeated during the next 24 hours. At the conclusion of the steeping, the interior of the grain should be soft and chalklike. The grain is then spread upon a tray in a layer not over 6 or 8 inches deep. The temperature at which the sprouting grain is kept is of great importance in the successful manufacture of malt. It should be kept as near 60 deg F. as possible. After the grain has grown for six or eight days the sprout forces its way out at the end of the grain opposite to the rootlet, and the malt may be used with excellent results at this time. Sprouting, however, may be allowed to continue slowly for another six or eight days, or even longer, until the sprout has attained a length from three to four times that of the grain. The grain must be kept moist, so that the rootlets do not wither during the sprouting period and should be turned over and thoroughly mixed at least once a day and kept covered with a wet cloth and in the dark. The product is known as "green malt." It should have a fresh odor and be free from any sour smell, and should be free from mold. Immediately before use the green malt should be finely ground in an ordinary meat cropper or other suitable machine. When so ground it forms a pasty mass and may be added directly to the boiled mashed sweet potatoes and the mixture thor- prosecution is begun. Many of these offenses are caused by ignorance and negligence. Failure to make the reports required by law may in some cases warrant severe penalty, as where the delinquent continues his delinquency after being warned of the penalty for failure to make return. However, if the delinquent takes immediate corrective action, and it is clearly established through investigation that he did not wilfully violate the law, the bureau allows him to compromise his liability to specific penalty by tendering a nominal sum of money. In such instances the money is not really in compromise but assessed to impress the taxpayer against future violations. "But there is no relief, no compromise, for the man who wilfully evades, wilfully neglects, or wilfully falsifies. He is classed with other law-breakers in the eyes of the bureau, and is vigorously prosecuted in the courts. No other course is open to the bureau, in meeting fairly and squarely the demand of the willing taxpayer "I will—the other man must." There is a solemn responsibility thus existing between the honest taxpayer and the bureau to locate and punish the dishonest tax dodger. "For a decade the drift of federal taxation has been from the indirect tax toward direct payment by each citizen and resident of his just share of the cost of government. Gradually the circle of direct taxpayers has been increased, and under the new revenue law the extension will include hundreds of thousands who never before filed declarations with the government. "We are therefore now come to another milestone in national progress. We approach a new test of the soundness of American ideals of a government of, by and for the people. The test is whether our wonderful victory of liberty is worth the cost as appor- ANAHEIM GAZETTE PRINCE ALBERT LAY your smoketaste flush up against a listening post—and you'll get the Prince Albert call, all right!

"It is such a big thing, this collection of taxes directly from private funds and business funds, that nothing short of our best American co-operative efforts can make it successful and hence just. The bureau seeks this co-operation of the people in collecting the revenues. It has never been denied or stinted; anything less than the great, voluntary outpouring of shares in the national assessment is unthinkable." "And it is such a big thing that the willing taxpayer must have the guarantee of this bureau that the laggards, the jugglers and the violators will not escape taxation and penalties. The bureau is fulfilling its part of this contract with the people—this contract that means so much in the practical, effective and just administration of the internal revenue laws." MAKING GIFT OF RAILROADS Certain labor politicians are said to have agreed on a plan whereby the railroads are to be bought by the United States government at a cost of $18,000,000,000 and turned over to the employees to be run on a "co-operative basis." Can you think of any good reason why you should help buy the railroads in order to contribute them to somebody? Perhaps you can think of better reasons why your neighbors should be taxed $18,000,000,000 in order to buy you a house and lot, an automobile, and a grocery store. It is not safe to assume, however, that because a scheme of legislation is intended to tax the people in order to enrich some particular group that it will not receive favor. If there are more votes to be had by supporting it than by opposing it, plenty of politicians will be found to boost it along. Especially if the scheme contemplates that a lot of those who are pushing it and voting for it shall have big jobs with fat salaries attached under the new arrangement. Henry Ford was quoted in Los Angeles recently as saying he would spend a million dollars to keep his successful competitor, Commander Newberry, out of the Senate. Well, that million ought to produce considerable noise, but that it will buy a vacancy in the Senate does not at this writing seem probable.

HELP YOURSELF More than 150 years ago Benjamin Franklin wrote: "Keep your shop and it will keep you." The stamp of greatness is on Franklin's philosophy because it was not alone of his time; it holds for all time. Our ways have changed a bit in the economic life of this republic which the great Franklin helped to build. No longer may every man be his own shopkeeper. Most of us help keep some other follow's shop and a certain element among the assistant shopkeepers have become restless because they have no shop themselves and call themselves I. W. W., Bolsheviks, and other names. Nevertheless Franklin's homely saying is as true today and as easy to comply with as it was the day he uttered it. The United States government provides the way. War Savings and Thrift Stamps, conceived as a war measure and now backed by the government as a permanent policy, give every man, woman and child in America the chance to keep shop. Each person is allowed to put $1000 a year into the business—the business of American government. The business guarantees 4 per cent per annum compounded quarterly. It is the biggest business in the world. One can invest as low as 25 cents. The wonderful thing about it is that the investor helps his country as well as himself. ELMER L.

A MOVIE IN TWO REELS On January 7th the Publicity Director of the Liberty Loan division of the Treasury department, telegraphed Douglas Fairbanks that he wanted him to put on a movie in which he, Fairbanks, was to meet and swat every critic of the administration; that if he would do this the Liberty Loan publicity department would agree to plaster the country with the film. Doug was urged to see Secretary McAdoo at his California home and talk over the proposition. The text of this telegraphic correspondence was given out at Los Angeles. Thirty days later it was announced that Mr. McAdoo had been made attorney of the United States Film corporation, the Douglas Fairbanks concern, indicating that the interview between Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. McAdoo had been mutually satisfactory. It was reported that the salary to be paid Mr. McAdoo for his legal skill would run into six figures, but both McAdoo and Fairbanks declared this was a secret. You musn't comment on this, however, or Doug might put you in his film as a pro-German.
