Revenue Service seeks tighter tax assessment and coast guard expansion
Treasury head McAdoo urges district collectors to assess taxpayers shown as liable and investigate nonfilers. He notes revenue declines due to wartime trade, cites 1914 receipts and a projected yearly drop, and calls Congress to fund investigations, add revenue cutters, a leprosarium, and a Coast Guard reorganization. He also proposes repurposing a parcel post study for money transport and seeks authority for a $5 gold certificate and funds for security and banking channels.
