states have displayed favoritism to a
national highway system. Mr.. Mark
ham pointed out that that was a ma
tural attitude for the eastern states
because they already had perfected
state systems thru state aid.
Make System Fair to All.
Kansas is building roads on the
theory that the property owner ad-
Jacent to the roads receive special
benefits; his property is enhanced in
like degree and therefore he should
pay for its construction in proportion
to the special advantages secured -
said Mr.. Markham. ITO this end the
state has before it an amendment to
the constitution whereby the state may
aid in the construction of many roads.
1t is not her purpose to give them to
the lucky fellow, who by the shuffling
of the dice, secures an improved road
by his farm"
The Kansas system, mapped out by
the state highway commission, con-
sists of $500 miles, one-fifth of the
total road mileage in the state 1t
reaches S5 per cent of the population
and passes thru townships embra cling
80 per cent of the states taxable prop
erty. Mr.. Markham said federal aid
has proven a boon to road building in
Kansas, the states portion of federal
aid having been apportioned to aid in
building S33 miles of highway in
many counties
s3,000,n00 Per Year To Kansas.
IF the bill now before congress ask
ing for federal aid to the extent of
one hundred million dollars per year
is passed, Kansas would receive in
round numbers three million dollars a
year" said Mr.. Markham. This
would assist in building, under our
plan, two hundred miles a wear
Should this three millions dollars be
expended on a federal road, it would
construct, at present prices, less than
fifty miles a year.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
It is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

DECEMBER IS last DAY.
To PAY FEDERAL TAX
CANNOT EXTEND TINE

The following letter from Hon. G.
l.. Donald, collector of Internal Re-
venue for the State of Mississippi,
is self-explanatory:
jackson, Dec. 4, 1920.
Many taxpayers in Mississippi are
somewhat troubled about making
their last quarterly payment due
December 10. On account of present
financial conditions it is going to
work an undue hardship on many of
them to pay the last installment.
Some OF the taxpayers have an idea
that | have the authority to give
them an extension of at least thirty
days in which to make payment.
would grant extensions if l could,
for | believe there are certain mer-
itorious cases which warrant it.
The law fixes the dates of pay
ment as March 15, June Is, Sept. Is
and Dec. Is. There can be no ex-
tension granted by anyone. Con-
gress alone can do this by amending
the Act. 1t is very important to tax
payers that the last payment is made
promptly. Under the Regulations,
if payment is not made on the 15
of December am required to send
notice Immediately thereafter. Ten
days hence if the payment is not
made demand notice calling for a
penalty and interest must be sent
out. Then ten days afeer this sec
ond notice if the tax is not paid
must issue a warrant for distraint,
which means that any personal and
real property will be seized and sold.
Taxpayers cannot enjoin the Col
.lector from issuing this warrant or
for the sale of any property. There
is no homestead exemption as there
is under State laws.
Will you please make use of this
information, or any part of it you
see fit, in the next issue of your pa
per as matter of information to
your readers and subscribers.
Respectfully,
G. L. DONALD, Collector.
