be ripening more rapidly than

the union of these estimable

since it has been known to init
mate friends for some time and
to many eligible young women
and men several weeks. 1t is
with much pleasure that we state
that Mr.. and Mrs. Mackie will
make their permanent hCme in
this city.
Orin Mackie, as he is known
among intimate acquaintances,
was one of the soldier boys such
as we all delight to honor. After
discharge from the service, he
formed a partnership with his
now brother-in.lsw Henry Har.
Ian under the finn name of Mac
kie & Harlan and good stock
Of mems and boys furnishings
and shoes was opened to the
public. Both members of the
firm are popular with the trade
and a fine business will soon be
enjoyed by the wide awake and
square dealing young men.
Mrs. Mackie is one Of the
pobular young women OF her
neighborhood and will become
so in her new home town. She
is skilled in domestic affairs and
otherwise combines those quail
ties which are so essential to a
home filled withcontentment.
Many choice and excellent
presents were received by bride
and bridegroom and the day was
a most happy one for the fami-
lies of both as we'll as Them
selves.
Heartiest congratulations of
all their friends in which the
Courier heartily joins.

Hon. Frank Farris, candidate
for nomination for governor,
spoke to a fair sized crowd here
last Saturday afternoon at the
court house. Senator Farris is a
splendid speaker and many who
heard him were well pleased
with his effort to put before
them the conditions existing in
the state and needs to correct
some Objectionable features.
There is, at this time, no enthu-
siam for any candidate from
president down. People are busy
and patisanship appears to have
slipped a clutch among adher-
ents of both parties. No woDd-
er. Such a legislature as our
last and such a congress have
disgusted all and the right to
decide matters at the polls hav-
ing been denied, it will be a
wonder if anything like a full
VOTE. can be got out. Senator
Farris spoke at Brunswick Satur-
day evening to a much better
crowd but he left no vivid i'm
pressions.

not been born out as yet. however. by
the estimates compiled by Mr.. Frid-
ley
officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau announced this morning that
there will be no extension OF time for
the filing OF returns as was the case
in formar years. Illness or absence
from the city Is the only legitimate
excuse for individual extension, and
in such cases the application must
have been received by the bureau
prior to last midnight
Such extensions are for a period OF
thirty days only. and addit ional eN-
tensions can be granted only by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Fix Penalties.
Although estimates fail to disclose
any laxity on the part OF Washington
residents in the filing OF returns, Of
ficials declared that should such fail
ure be disclosed the penalty OF 20 per
cent of the tax due plus 81 900 would
be imposed.
For failure to pay tax when due,
or for understatement of the tax
through negligence, there is a penal
ty of per cent OF the tax, plus in
terest at l per cent per month until
paid.
For making a false or fraudulent
return. the penalty Is $4,000, or not
exceeding one years imprisonment,
or both. plus 80 per cent addition to
the tax evaded.

d. c. Pays So, 5000
AS Income Tax Bill

Fifty-nve thousand residents OF the
District of Columbia paid income
taxes TO Uncle Sam for the year 1919
according TO estimates compiled To-
day by II. NJ, Fridley. In charge OF
the Dist rict branch Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
Mr.. Fridley estimates that the total
receipts in the District VIII exceed
the $1,000 900 mark, and OF this sum
81 900 600, or virtually one-third OF
the total, poured into the ofnce yes
terday. the final day for the filing OF
the returns and the hrst quarterly
payment.
Recover From Rush.
Today the office force Of the Re =
enue Bureau at lilS ii street north
west was recovering from the mad
rush OF yesterday. The full force
worked until nearly 8 o'clock this
morning, although no returns were
received after last midnight.
A total OF sixty thousand returns
were received from residents and bus
mess firms OF the District and TO this
number approximately 1000 came
from corporations. partnerships. etc.
Fifty-five thousand came from indivi-
dusls.
Rejecting the splendid financial SIT
uation prevailing In the District Is
the fact that 30 percent OF the $4,000
individual returns were accompanied
by fun payment for the 1919 tax.
Fifty thousand returns came from
persons whose income did not exceed
$4,000 annually.
Approximately 800 letters contain
ing income tax returns and the pay
ments reached Mr.. Fridleys office this
morning. In every case the letters
bore a postmark prior to last mid
night and therefore under the ruling
Of the bureau were acceptable with
out the imposition OF the penalty
with but few exceptions all returns
were made within the appointed time.
Once Besieged.
Mr.. Fridley declared today that a
preliminary survey failed to disclose
any reason for imposing the penalty
for failure to make prompt return.
The local office of the bureau was
besieged throughout yesterday and 1t
was with great difficulty that all re-
turns were handled without delay.
During the day $4,000 returns were
received either in person or by mail.
This final rush. clerks at the office
believe, was due to the fact that thou
sands of Government clerks waited
until pay day-the fifteenth-to file
their returns. This also accounts for
the fact that a great majority of the
payments were made in full.
Washington bankers today reported
a slight shrinkagf in deposits. due to
the payment of Income taxes. but in
most banks the loss was small and
will not be missed in the months

This fact is accounted for because
so many of the payments were mad"

Exceed 1918 Figures.
Some bankers believe that the tax
paid by Washington residents this
year will be in excess of that paid
for the year 1918. despite the fact
that the tax rate is lower this year
than before. These statements have
