Special to The Graphic.
 Little Rock, Feb. 21-Announce- ment of itineraries of revenue off cers, who will be assigned to the income tax canvass has been made by Jack Walker, Collector of internal Revenue, MT. Walker said that, due to the very limited time, great many points in the state could not'be visited by revenue officers and at all points included in the itinerary time is necessarily cut to an absolute mini mum.
 As special convenience for tax payers over the state who are unable to get personal attention from reven- ue officers-particular taxpayers whose returns involve complicated ac- counting problems arrangements have been made for Revenue Agent R. H. Simms, Jr., to give personal at tention exclusively to corporations lia- ble for excess profits tax, and Revenue Agent A. c. Cravey will conduct a school of instruction open to the pub lie, beginning March 3 and lasting through that, week These two off cers will be stationed permanently at Little Rock. Agent Cravey's school of instruction will deal with individuals and partnerships March 3, 4, and 5, and with corporations March 6, 7, and 8; at the school conducted by MT. Cravey the law and regulations will be explained, specific problems dem- onstrated and questions of taxpayers answered publicly.
 "It is expected that the new reven- ue act will be signed by president and become effective during the first part of the coming week." said MT. Wal ker. All income tax returns must be filed not later than March 15. How ever, with the approval of the collec- tor tentative return may be made, and taxes paid thereon on or before March 15, and corrected returns filed not later than 45 days after the original due date, in cases where the short time does not permit of absolute &C., curacy in the handling of complicated problems that may arise in certain cases; when tentative returns are filed and additional tax found later to be due, interest at the rate of one per cent per month attaches.
 Form 1040A, adequate for the re- turn of $5,000 net income or less, have already. been mailed to all persons who filed oFrm 1O4OA for the year 1917. Forms adequate for incomes of over $5,000 will be distributed within few days. The distribution of cor | poration forms has also been delayed and these forms will be sent out promptly as soon as they reach my office. General distribution of income tax returns will begin Monday, Febru- ary "A.
 Taxpayers seeking the advice of revenue officers are urged to present definite and specific figures. A per son who has not at least a detailed and itemized statement of his gross income and his disbursements cannot receive the personal attention of the officers; time will not permit an off cer to compute the net income of tax payers as was done last year. Rev. enue officers will give advice as to the requirements of the law and as to the computation of the tax and will as far as practicable prepare returns, but every officer is under instructions not to attempt to prepare returns where definite rigures are not im- mediately at hand"
