MARCH 18TH LAST DAY
TO RETURN INCOME TAX

There will be no general extension
of time beyond March 18th for the
filing of returns and for the payment
of Income and Excess Prifits taxes
due on that date, is the decision OF
Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. The announce
ment was made today by Collector
A. o. Blalock, imm ediately following
the approval by the Senate and
House of the report of the conferees
on the New Revenue Bill.
at is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March 18th" says
Commissioner Roper "No other course
is possible, Some months ago, the
Treasury issued certificates of indebt-
edness to an amount approXimatlng
$500, 100000, maturing March 18th,
the first payment of the Income and
Excess Profits Taxes for 1913 was
planned for that date, to meet this
huge obligation.
"The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the programme pre-
scribed in the new law, which re-
ouires al returns for 1918 to be filed
on or before March Is, 1919, and re-
uuires the first quarterly payment or
the entire payment to be made on
or before that date.
every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
18th. The quarterly payment me-
thod is intended for taxpayers whose
financing of the tax at one time
would tend to upset local financial
conditions.
"The approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House
of Representatives brings the new
Revenue Bill to the point where it
may be assumed to be law The In
ternal Revenue Bureau has been max
ing preparations to collect the taxes
which it provides, and is now putting
all of its efforts into aiding the tax
payers to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed.

it is up to every state in the union to
engage in and encourage public work
of every character, and what great
er work could we do in Georgia than
build good roads? What greater
service can those in authority rem
der the state than by making this
possible?
Fourth, a special session would be
composed of the same gentlemen who
gave the matter some thought last
year. They authorized special COM
mission to study conditions and rec
ommend legislation that might be
needed. This commission could re-
port it's findings to the body that
created it, and do so at an early
date. Their report would no doubt
receive favorable consideration, and
as matter of fact, three members
of this commission are members of
the 1918 session and would champion
their report. Whereas, not one men,
Der of this commission could appear
on the floor during the regular 1919
session.
Fifth, we will save money by calling
a special session. Of course it will
cost perhaps $4,000 for the expense
but that is a small sum compared to
what the state will lose if action is
deferred and nothing is done this
wear. Let the auto license fees stand
the cost of the extra session, and If
the state gets million dollars net in
crease, and with this gets the actual
use of the present Federal aid money,
we will be way ahead of whatever the
cost may be; and we will afford en-
ployment for thousands of our own
bows who are looking to the state and
other Government units to provide
work that they may earn living for
themselves and their dependents.
Sixth, and the final reason, the
counties of Georgia are going to be
slow to spend current revenues or
issue bonds for road Building until
the state decides the question of state
aid. Every paper in the state has
said something about state bonds The
State Highway Department has pub
licly recommended that the State
should capitalize its auto license fees
and issue $4O,000,000 of bonds to
build a system of main roads that
will connect each county seat. Isn't
it reasonable to suppose that the coun-
tv commissioners would be slow to
spend tax or bond money on man
road that will likely be part of this
state system, and which will in time
be built by the state? This means
that if the state fails to act at an
early date, the counties will simply
defer action, and in the meantime,
public work is at standstill, men are
out of work that should be in progress
and the farmer and the. producer are
out the use of roads that ought to be
accommodating the traffic needs OF
every community in Georgia.
Georgia Good Roads Bulletin.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-02-14

Many papers throughout the state
are suggesting the advisability of a
special session of the General Assem-
bly, to pass needed laws that Georgia
may be enabled to get down to bust
ness and actually build a system of
state highways.
We wish to submit to Governor
Hugh M. Dorsey a few reasons why
a special session should be called at
Just as early time as possible.
First, this very important question
has been before every regular session
now for six or seven years with prac-
tically nothing accomplished. With
tax measures and general appropria-
ton bills, highways have had little
consideration
Second, unless some plan is adopt
ed by early spring, Georgia will lose
another year and that time lost can
not be computed in dollars and cents.
If special session in March or early
April should do nothing more than
amend the Motor Vehicle Act and
raise the license fees to an amount
equal to what other progressive states
are collecting, and turn this money,
which would amount to about 81 $780,
100000 over to a State Highway De-
partment with some authority to
really do something, it would mean
that not less than $6,000,000 would

Legislature for Our State Highways?

be spent in building permanent roads
in Georgia this year.
How do we get this $6,000,000?
There is now available of Federal
money 81, 100000 not being spent be-
cause the counties cannot match it
dollar for dollar. Easily 100000
more of Federal money will be avail
able for road building this year I'M
der the administration bill designed
to help the labor situation during the
readjustment period. If the state
could saw to the counties and especial
ly the poor counties of Georgia, here's
$1,5OO,000, you match that, by bonds
or tax funds, and with this $4,000, 600
we will match a like sum of Federal
money, would not many counties In
Georgia raise 25 per cent OF the
amount necessary to build main trunk
line roads into their market centers?
Third, and the most important rea-
son for action now, is the fact that
we have many, perhaps thousands of
BOYS returning from France every
month. Unless these men and the
thousands of other men engaged last
year in munitions plants and other
war activities, are enabled to find
some employment, who can foretell
the disaster? Idleness breeds dis
content. Socialism and Bolshevism
have no place in this country, but

AND CUT COTTON CROP
The Agricultural Department Official
Statistics Shown Below Should
Be Sufficient Warning

For the first five months of the
cotton year, that is from August 1st,
1918, to January 4th, 1919, the total
exports of American cotton had been
only $4,000 bales. Unless there is
a very marked increase in exports
from this time until the end of the
cotton season there will be consid-
cradle carry-over from the crop of
1918. Estimates of the carry-over
are about 100000 bales. The ap-
parent deficit as noted elsewhere is
4,730,O0O bales, but from this gross
amount should be deducted the carry
over at the end of the 1918-19 season.
Moreover, the yield in 1918 was
greatly decreased by unfavorable
weather The same acreage in 1919,
with average weather, will produce
at least 100000 bales more than
was produced in 1918.
The American farmer will be wise
to adjust his cotton acreage so as to
have available sufficient land to pro-
duce enough food and feed for his
family and live stock.
This is the reason the gamblers will
risk their money on cotton being low
er next fall. United action of the
farmers and business men alone can
save the day, and the farmers part is
not to plant cotton.

GATHERING
FORCES FOR DRIVE

Quietly, unostentatiously, but with
a union of effort that shows a serl-
ous purpose - and bespeaks success
for that purpose-the Methodlsts OF
the country are gathering their forces
for a gigantic campaign. The move
ment. known as the Centenary Cam
paign, is two-fold in purpose; first,
a revivified church; second, a church
with sufficient financial resources to
meet the opportunities and obligations
of today. The M. E. Church, South
is centering it's forces and rallylng
it's members in the southern and west
ern states, while from one end OF
Methodism to the other the challenge
of the church has gone forth.
A newspaper correspondent, who
is not a member of the denomination,
was present recently at meeting OF
the executives who are back of the
movement. This correspondent de-
clared that "the men behind the guns
of this Centenary Campaign went IN
to that meeting on their knees and
came out of it on their knees, while
in between times they worked out the
most practical plan for conducting
mamoth drive l ever witnessed" This
looks as though the church was unit
ing spiritual fervor with practical
business methods, the result OF
such a union holds potent possibilities
for the church of the immediate fu-
ture.
During the month of February
members of the M. E. Church, South,
will be asked to join a great league
of prayer and it is hoped to enroll
100000 Methodists in this league.
The object of the prayer league will
be to seek a deeper spirituality
throughout the church and the world,
to be invested with a new sense of
the obligation of brotherhood as it
extends not only to the downtrodden
people of America, but to the peoples
of the earth-and for personal con-
secration of time and money and
lives by every mon and woman and
young person who is affiliated with
LIE 1SGIOulSU III WI
er words, the Methodists declare they
intend to meet the emergencies of
these reconstruction times by first
becoming more humble followers of
the Man of Galilee-and, second, by
rendering in His name, practical serv-
ice to the masses of humanity through
out the world.
Whether the denomination does or
does not achieve Immediately all that
it seeks, certainly the union of 2,000,-
600 people in a great campaign
throughout the length and breadth of
Methodism means business-and bust
ness of that powerful sort that com
mands the admiration of a public
which needs big figures and big
thoughts to rouse it to approve.

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!
BY DOCTOR GRIPS,

1t has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when list of
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to a degree that few realize.
Whenever he found a remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced it
in the newspapers and told where 1t
could be bought at a small price. lie
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
so to-day the names of DR.. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed of
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive.
Ii you are constipated, by all means
go to your druggist and get some of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove to be the very thing your
system requires to make you well and
happy.
