INCOME TAX REBATES
TO BE PAID QUARTERLY

ATLANTA. Dec. I9-The follow
ing statement is issued by the Col
lector of internal Revenue, j. 7.
Rose, District of Georgia;
important changes in income tax
procedure, directed by Commissioner
David H. Blair, are embodied in a
treasury decision effective December
16, which provides for the prompt
adjustment of claims for refund and
abatement of federal taxes. Here.
tofore when an over-assessment OF
over-paymert was disclosed by the
audit of an income tax return, the
taxpayer was invited to file a claim
for the abatement of the over-assess
ment OF the refund of the overpay
ment. When received the claim wa.
registered and filed away until reach
ed in due course for consideration
Because of the large number Of such
claims filed, delay in adjustment
necessarily resulted.
after December 15, taxpayers
will not be advised Of their privilege
of filing claim for the refund of
taxes which have been paid in excess
of amounts legally due, but instead
will receive a certificate Of over
assessment and a check in correction
OF the error, or if an assessment is
outstanding against the taxpayer for
income. or evcess profits tax, the
over-payment will be applied as a
credit against the assessment and the
balance immediately refunded. This
will be of distinct financial advantage
to both the taxpayer and the gov
ernment. 1t will do away with the
necessity for the taxpayer filing a
claim for refund, and will greatly
reduce the amount of work to be
done by the Bureau in the adjustment
Of claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund, but
1t is expected that the number Of
such claims filed each month will be
greatly, reduced. Efforts are being
made by the Bureau to adjust with.
IN SIX months, all claims now pending
and thereafter to keep the work cur.
rent. The Revenue act of 1921 pro.
yides that under certain conditions in.
terest shall be paid upon claims from
the date of the payment of the tas
to the date Of the allowance of the
claim The new procedure should
greatly reduce the amount of in
terest, which the government must OF
necessity pay upon claims Tor re.

AGAINST

washington, Feb 12.-One hundred
names were attached to petition
against the proposed creation of De-
nartnlent of Education. presented by
Senator Ball today. The Senator was
informed that these constituted but
small percentage of the number who

enactment of such legislation.
Tho chief argument against the crea-
tion of the Department. of Education
by the Federal government used by the
Delaware remonstrants was that too
much bureaucracy in government is
"a had thing and the extension Of the
system TO education was indefensible
one writer points out that one OF
the chief objections urged by the Re
publicans against the Democrats dur
Ing the campaign of last year was that
there were too many commissions. too
many bureaus and too much attempt
at general regulation by the Federal
government.
Now. the writer says, the Republicans
propose 10 extend the bureaucracy into
another and larger field. He admits
that during the war the government
was justified in instituting regulatory
measures. II was severely criticised
for establishing regulations which were
said 10 interfere with private business,
but the Republicans now propose TO go
right into the home Of every citizen and
regulate the mental and moral training
of the children
The two Delaware Senators are in
receipt OF protests orally. by wire and
by letter every day. Delaware. how
ever, is not the only State from which
floods OF protests come diurnally Every

The Browns will be working over
time today. having moved on to New
York, where four games in three days

Leon Goslin must be timorous about

poiiited the fans again yesterday by
his failure to arrive.
"Dodo" Bird has winged his way
into McBride's loft, however. and may
get chance to show local fans how
he pitched for Shreveport in the Texas
League after the Indians leave town.
Lefty Miller. Bing's brother. is an
other late arrival.
Yesterday was the first time this
season johnson has been able to blank
an opponent. although he has several
one-run games to his credit. Bar
ney's five strike-outs brought his all
time record for whiffs up to 2.S05.
shanks, Ellerbe and Gerber each
contributed some pretty fielding of
ground balls. but the feature was the
manner in which Jacobson played Mil

chase out nearly to the fagpole to get
under Bing's terrific clout.
Collins all but gave the fans heart
failure in the ninth when. batting for
Davis, he connected for long wal

YANKEES AND INDIANS
HOLD Winning STRIDE:

Yankees and Indians held to their
winning stride yesterday in the
American League pennant race. The
former took an uphill battle from
the White Sox. while the Tribe easily
vanquished the tail-end Athletics to
remain within a half game of the
leading New Workers. The Red Sox
bettered their hold on fifth place by
trouncing the Tigers.
The Yankees defeated the White
Sox, II to 8. after the latter had
gained a six-run lead in the first
three innings. The Yanks got eight
taIlies in the sixth and seventh in
nings. their terrific hitting and the
wildness of the Sox pitchers telling
heavily. Meusel got two homers.
bringing his seasons total to twenty
two. Falk and johnson also clouted
for the circuit.
coveleskie held the Athletics safe.
while the Tribe punched safeties
against three pitchers and won. to
5. Jameson and Perkins starred at
bat with four hits each. Galloway.
Athletic shortstop, had but one
chance, a putout, during the game.
Pennock allowed the Tigers only
two hits, one by Young and the other
by Blue, and the Red Sox triumphed.
1 to 0. In the fourth inning. Pratt's
single off Oldham. a poor throw by
Jones, an intentional pass to Scott
and Walters infield out account for
the tally.
