EXPECT MARCH TAX =
RETURNS TO REACH
ONE HALF BILLION
Some Fiscal Experts, However. Say
That 1t Might Top The $780,
100000 Mark

Washington, March 15.-The Am
erican people today had their annual
day of reckoning. Their laboriously
.reckoned incomes and business prof
it's for the year f 1920 were present
ed in the form of business and excess
profits tax returns to collectors of in
ternal revenue throughout the coun-
try. The United States government
as a result will be richer tonight by
approximately S5O0,O00,000 accord
ing to an estimate by Secretary of
Treasury Mellen. But the riches will
not be for long for the receipts will
be needed to retire short-term bor-
rowings certificates of indebtedness
issued by the government amounting
to $5O0,O00, 900. Some fiscal experts
at the treasury expect today's income
ard excess profits receipts to APPROX
innate $6OO,OoO,OOO. If such isl the
case, the extra funds will find ready
use in application to the public debt
and redemption of war savings secu-
rites. Payments to the railroads un-
der the guaranty provision of the
transportation act also may absorb
a portion of receipts over the half
billion total.
Receipts year ago today were
$3O0,OO0,0OO, but the general de-
preston experienced during the last
half of 1920 was counted on to de-
crease in the total incomes and pro-
fits reported. The present fiscal finan-
cal situation was considered as like
ly to cut down the number of tax
payers> who pay their entire tax il
one installment.
Collectors of revenue faced the u.s.
ual busy day. Many of the Offices will
remain open until late tonight to ac-
commodate late tax payers. For per-
sons or business concerns taxable un-
der the law who fail to make a re-
turn with at least payment of one
fourth of the total tax a penalty is
prescribed. Returns sent by mail post
marked today will be considered as
having been made today.

OF LUMBER RATES
Mill People And Railroad Men Meet
In Memphis to. Discuss -
Lower Rates

Memphis, Tenn, March 15.-
Hardwood lumber >men- and officials
of the principal lumber carrying
railroads of the South met here to-
day to discuss readjustment of
freight rates on forest products
which hardwood producers declare
imperative, especially on low grade
lumber. The conference was called
by the Southern Hardware Txaffic
Association it is contended by the
lumber, men that Canadian timber
can be shipped to eastern manufac-
turing centers at lower cost than
timber from the Southern hardwood
fields; that scores Of southern saw
mills are burning common oak tim
ber as fuel because Of prohibitive
freight rates to consuming markets
and that, unless relief is granted
trees in the woods will have. to be
deadened to make land in the allu-
vial region available for agriculture.

TWENTY BILLION
MARKS DEMANDED
Allies Notify Germany This Sum
Must Be Paid Before May
First.

Paris, March 15.-Germany was
yesterday called upon by the allied
reparations committee to carry. out
article 235 of the Versailles treaty,
which stipulates Germany must pay
before May 1, 1921, the equivalent
of twenty billion gold marks. The
treaty provides that this payment
may be made in gold, commodities,
ships, or other valuables, and that
out of this sum the expenses of the
armies of occupation are first to be
met.
The committee also took steps to
carry out article. 233, which pro-
vides that Germany must be notified
before May /, next the total amount
of war reparations. imposed upon
her by the treaty.
eff Germany persists in refusing
to make payment" says the Petit
Hariesen in discussing the action of
the committee, "she will force US to
acton. That was the significance of
yeserday's meestng."

RoosEvELT'S PORTRAIT
FREE TO ALL SCHOOLS
Is Life Size and Handsomely En-.
graved.

Theodore Roosevelt's portrait
bearing his last message to the Am
eriean people is being widely distri-
buted throughout the United States
by the American Defense Society.
An announcement is made by the
society that upwards Of $4,000 pic
lures have been already distributed
to the public and high schools of the
country, and that orders are now on
hand for approximately 10000 more
Many states have asked the society
for picture for each school, and
those which have ordered copies for
all their schools are Pennsylvania,
$4,000; Ohio, $4,000; Wyoming, g.
900; Minnesota, Kentucky, Utah,
Michigan, 5000; Idaho, 1900 and
South Dakota, $4,000.
The portrait is life size and hand
somely engraved. The only condition
which the society makes in giving
the pictures to the schools is that it
be framed by general contribution
of the pupils and hung with appro-
pirate ceremonies. A special pro-
gram for the hanging of the picture
is sent to each school, and the prin-
cipals in hundreds of cases have re-
ported to the society that the pupils
have been greatly benefited by the
work, incident to the ceremony, the
writing of essays and the recitation
of the sterling qualities of our
"Greatest American"
The committee which has this
work in charge is headed by DR..
Lewis Rutherford Morris Of New
York City. Associated with him are
Robert Appleton, Porter Emerson
Browne, William Loeb, Jr., Julian
Street, Joseph Bishop and Herbert
Hagedorn.
Any public or high school may OBJ
tain picture by writing to the So
ciety, and stating that they will
frame the picture when received.

STATE NEGoTIATES
NECESSARY LOANS
Arrangements for $3,000,000 Made
In New York.

Arrangements to borrow sufficient
money for state purposes as pro-
Nided for in the general appropria-
tion bill were made in New York by
the state financial committee last
week when the committee visited
the financial center of the country,
according to members of the COM
mittee who returned yesterday. The
committee is composed of Governor
Cooper, State Treasurer Carter and
Comptroller General Duncan.
No exact figure was set, Governor
Cooper said yesterday, but the
state will need around $3,O00,000
between now and the end of July
and that amount will be- available,
according to the arrangements made
in New York. The S3,000,000 ar
ranged for will become available as
needed by South Carolina and in
such sums as necessary. The inter-
est rate was not announced, but it
will not exceed the lawful rate of
per cent, and may be a fraction
lower. The loans will be through the
Palmetto National bank.
The appropriation bill authorizes
the borrowing or financial commit
tee to negotiate loans not to exceed
s5,05O,00o, and to pledge the taxes
in payment thereof. The committee
has made arrangements for the
necessary money and it will be
credited to the state on and after
March 21.

By request B. L. Parkinson, state
high school Inspector visited Able
vile on Monday and after going over
the grounds in the morning met with
the board of trustees in the afternoon
and gave them his views of the hous-
ing situation of the school children
OF this district and suggested what, in
fis mind, would o. ideal plans fo;'
permanent relief.
Mr.. Parkinson, who of course has
no axe to grind in the matter, was
very frank in condemning the pres
ent school plant of Abbeville. He
stated that both the uptown build
ings were unsuited to the present
requirements and that the lots on
which they were located were too
small for permanent improvements.
He was especially urgent in his de-
sire to see the present old graded
school building abandoned entirely
and to use the present high school
building for the lower grades. This
would of course necessitate the build
ing of 2 much larger building and Of
an entirely different type that was
primarily in the mind of the board of
trustees week ago when they first
officially considered enlarging the
school plant in Abbeville.
The inspector stated that he was
trying to keep both feet on the
the ground and did not wish to appear
idealistic or impractical. He stated
that he was basing his suggestions on
past history and statistics of the rapid
growth of the enrolment in the Abb
beville schools and that he believed
it real economy to make permanent
improvements only.
Mr.. Parkinson further strenuous

HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTOR
OFFERS SUGGESTIONS

ly opposed the tentative plan in the
minds of the trustees of building an
addition to the present high school
building. He had no objections to Of
fer to the site but stated that any
addition to the present building
would be altogether architecturally
incorrect and absolutely untitled for
school purposes. The only relief he
could suggest on the present site
would be to 60 back 81 feet in rear
of the present high school building
and erect rectangular building two
stories high containing an auditorium
on the first floor and six class rooms
on the second floor. But Mr.. Parkin-
son said that he would even then be
obliged to re port to the state board
of education that the Abbeville school
buildings were inadequate to meet
the needs of first class. educational
institution.
The increase in enrolment the
past two years has been nearly 200
md with such rate of increase con-
tinuing, and there is every indication
that it will continue, in three years
or in two more sessions. the schools
in Abbeville would be thoroughly
crowded.
The trustees listened attentively to
what Mr.. Parkinson had to say and
at the conclusion of his remarks went
over the present site with him and
he drew a rough sketch in the sand
howing what could best be done to
relieve temporarily the overorowded
conditions. Before adjourning the
superintendent was instructed to
communicate with first class school
architect and get the building esti-
mates on the cost of such building
as the one proposed.
