PROVIDE COUNCIL
 FOR TAXPAYERS

Washington, Feb. 26.---T Taxpayers in need of advice on how to make out their returns or calculate their tax may ort T free council from any one sf many pIbltc and private agencies zow in working order. The internal N.,venuc bureau today called attention -- he fact that more than 100000 per sons, exclusive of the ten thousand revenue officers and employees, are at work aiding citizens to pay theAr iEs- come taxes.
 Free advice may be obtained from banks many of which have esta'b- lished separate service departments for the tax period; from chambers of commerce or boards of trade; news papers, some of which have created departments to answer tax questions, local associations of credit men; coun- " farm agents, and special represent ativcs des gnated by large employers to assist their men. These are in ad ditiou to the agencies established by revenue cutters in all large cities with travelling agents scheduled to visit virtually every community in the United States before March -5, the last date for filing of returns.
 .. Hundreds of private tax advisers, charging fees for counsel, have estal5- lishe5 themselves recently but the rev e1ue bureau cautions taxpayers to as certain that these men are efficient before patrOnizug them. Many are considered fraudulent and inexperi- enred by the government. Most indi- vidual taxpayers can obtain all the advice they need from authorized rev cnue officials

DRIVEN FROM NEW YORK
 BY CABLE DELAY

New York's recently acquired pres tige as 8 world commercial and fnan- cial centre rivaling the position Of London is seriously threatened by poor cable service. Wall Street bank CTS declared yesterday that long de lays in the transmission of cables, due to various reasons, are responsible for the transference of large amounts of business to London. At the same time the charge was made that cables from European neutrals to New York via London are being held up unnec- cesariIy to the disadvantage of American commercial and financial houses.
 Causes of the unprecedentedly bad cable service are given by bankers as:
 l. Overlooking of transatlantic cables due to the abnormal pressure of official government business and press reports.
 ?. Too rigid censorship of the cables.
 3. Careless and inefficient handling of cable mesa ges by the censors,
 i. Alleged discrimination in Lon don against cables sent by American business houses in active competition with English firms.
 Large banks in Brazil, in Argentina, in Chile and other South American countries which. since the outbreak of the war have been transacting bus mess in sterling and other European exchanges in New York, are trans ferring the bulk of this business back to London because cable facilities be- tween London and South America are far superior to those between New York and South America.
 The foreign exchange manager of an important local banking institu- ton said yesterday that a three-hour cable service is maintained between London and the principal South American ports which means that a cable can be sent and a reply receiv- ed in that time. Against this New York has a two to three day service.
 Tests have been made by American firms which indicate that cables sent by them to their representatives in neutral countries or the other way around are held up for long periods of time in London. For example cable filed for London at Copenhagen by the represen tatives of a local firm took 24 hours for it's transmission and the return of the reply. But a cable filed at the same time for New York via LOn0On required ten daSS 1OE 4IS transmission and the return of the reply This test was actually made. The American interests who had this experience were unable to obtain definite information as to where the delay actually occurred in the trans fer of the cable to New York via London although it received indirect intimation that the messa ge was held up in London.
 A fortnight ago an American group of banks undertook negotiations with a group of Belgian interests The ar engagements were successfully made but the final cable confirming the transaction and concluding it was de- layed nearly ten days.
 Millions of dollars worth of busi- ness is being transferred from New York to the London market as 8 re- suit of the poor cable service between here and South America

TAX, DEPARTMENTS
 USE NEW SLOGANS

Washington, Feb. 16.---Slogans coined by the Internal Revenue Bureau to stimulate the early and full payment of income taxes reflect the changed conditions in which the taxpayer finds himself now that victory has been won and hostilities have ceased The powers of autocracy have been de- feated but the monetary cost of the success still is to be met, largely by the taxes to be paid this year
 Army of Occupation sounds good but it needs support ,'' says one of the slogans Then it asks, Have you paid your income tax?"
 Another classes an income tax re- ceipt with a gold service stripe.
 Those who celebrated victory most loudly are reminded that footing a horn on arnlistice day did not end your part in winning a peace with victory. Paying your income tax makes more real noise than footing a horn"
 Persons who may be inclined to ssrrumble at the increased rate of tax atfon are given food for thought in the following:
 eff you think your income tax is hardship, picture what you would have been up against had William HohenzoLern won the collectorship job.''
 Other slogans include:
 You stand up for the Natond An them Now stand up and pay your income tax
 There were no dennquents at Cha teau Thierry. Are you delaying the payment of your income tax?
 Don't try to fool your conscience by cheering the returning soldiers and forgetting to pay your income tax An income tax evader hasn't much on any of the other pro-Germans.
 If you didn't serve over there you can serve over here by paying you income tax.
 'TWhen the boys come home they will ask what have YOU done. Show them your income tax receipt
 When you pay your income tax get a receipt from Uncle Sam What would William Hohenzollern have handed you?
 ''Uncle Sam still has a big job ahead of him. Help him by paying your in come tax now"
