The article presents discussion on various topics. As a matter of fact, there is no proper official assessment of the income tax at all in the United States. It is self-assessment corrected if need be by official audit, and nothing more. The property taxes are never due until an official assessment has been made, reviewed, and audited. During the war there were good reasons why taxes should be collected quickly, and informality might be excused. But now it seems clear that the U.S. should proceed as soon as possible to build up an orderly system.
