peen poking much fun, was the young

effective March /. was announced
yesterday by Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper, acting under the
new revenue law. The maximum of
$500 paid heretofore now becomes
the minimum with new maximum
Of $4,000.
One effect expected from the new
graduated system is stimulation of
efforts to round up delinquent tax
payers, in order to increase the mum :
ber Of returns and the salary basis.
This will apply also to minor officers
and employees of each of the sixty
four collection districts, since their
salaries are to be readjusted to bear
a fixed relation to the salary of the
collector.
Collectors having less than 5000
returns are to be paid 81 500 and the
compensation is to be increased 500
for each additional 2 500 returns UP
to $4,000. 500 for each additional
5000 returns up to $4,000, and 500
for each additional 10000 returns,

BAPTISTS NOW SEEKING
CENTRAL AUTHORITY

A big question is to come before
Baptists of the northern states when
they meet in May in Denver 1t is the
closer affiliation between four or five
Independent missionary societies and
what is called the northern Baptis,
convention.
1t is explained that for many years
Baptist societies went each its own
way. often competitive and overlap
ping in their efforts. These evils were
corrected in part, and then came in
Il convention. Year by year the con-
vention has grown stronger and has
added legislative powers.
Now Baptists hold the time to be
ripe to give central authority stili
more power, and TO make delegate
body that will really speak for Bap-
lists, and have the right to function
their work. 1t is said to be likely that
the new and final plan will be adopt
ed at Denver and Baptist workers are
laying plans to meet new conditions.
