NO RECEIPTS If TAXES ARE
PAID WITH CuECI

Columbia, March 25.-D. C. Hey-

the department to the effect that in
the future collectors offices wouId
not be expected by the department
to give receipts where income taxes
were paid by check or money order.
unless especially requested by the
taxpayer, and taxpayers are REQUEST
ed not to demand such receipts on
account of the fact that issuing re-
celpts entails very considerab BILE
amount OF work on the collectors
office and seriously interferes with
other work which just at the present
time is Of great importance. The
department feels that where taxes
are paid by check or money order
that the endorsement of the collec-
tor will be sufficient receipt. Where
taxes are paid by cash, receipts will
be promptly given.
Frequently requests are made by
taxpayers for an acknowledgment
of their returns by the collectors Of
flee, but this is almost impossible un-
der the circumstances, Collector
Hayward stated. Returns are stamp
ed Immediately upon being received
at the office and therefore there is
no danger of any one being penalized
who has forwarded his return to TIE
collectors office at the proper time.

More or less complete returns from

PRICE OF 1918 WHEAT
FIXED AT $3.50 BUSHEL
Agricultural Appropriation Bill
With Gore Amendment
Is Passed.
'riation Bill

washington, March 25.-The ag-
rcultural appropriation bill, with the
gore amendment, increasing the 1918
government guaranteed wheat price
TO S2.50, was passed by the senate.
1t now goes to conference between
the two houses, where there will be
another fight over the wheat price.
ihe wheat price was adopted 40
to 1S after five days discussion. in
which its advocates urged the neces-
slty or stimulating production, and
crltfclzed government price fixing.
The bill, carrying appropriations of
$2S,OOO,OO0, was passed without a
roll call, the principal fight being
centered on the wheat provision.
Besides increasing the federal guar
antee, the Gore amendment also pro-
vides that the guaranteed prices for
the 1918 crop shall be based upon
No. northern wheat, or it's equiva-
lent, instead of the No. / variety, as
under existing law, and shall be pay
able at local elevators or railway
markets, instead of at the principal
primary markets, as is done now.
These provisions are designed to
further increase the farmers re-
turns.
Another provision is that the guar
antee shall not be dependent upon
action of the President, but sis here
by made absolute and binding until
May 1, 1919"
Acceptance OF the amendment nv
the house is hoped for by its cham
pfons. But despite the overwhel-
ming vote by which the senate wrote
the price Increase into the bill. ad-
ministration leaders do not believe
it could prevail finally If, as has been
reported, the opposition Of the food
administration would cause a presi-
dental veto.
Under proclamation by the Pres
fdent. acting under the food control
law as 1t now stands with the SO
guarantee. the basic price for 1918
wheat has been established at $2.2O
per bushel. Senators favoring the
increase argued that wheat at $3.50
would not increase the price OF flour
beyond $13 or $3.50 per barrel
The price now is around S11 a bar.
