Washington, Jan. 2.-Unusual in
terest in the ultimate disposition Of
the $4,000, 100000, debt owed the

ments has been evidenced through
out the country during the past few

Many letters have come. into the
treasury asking for information on
the subject and offering advice while
debating societies in different parts
of the country have been writing in
for data which to build arguments
both on behalf of and against the
government Rquiring payment OF
the principal and interest of the debt
under various plans.
What were described as nut let
ters are also coming to the treasury,
it was said, submitting plans for OBJ
tanning payment of the debt under
schemes of varying complexity and
over. diversified periods of years, the
proceeds to be used by the govern
ment for as many different projects.
Meanwhile, officials declared, the
solution of the allied debt problem
awaits the action of congress upon
the legislation now pending to au-
thorized negotiations with the for
eign debtor government for winding
I'D their war time financial trans

Columbia, Jan. 3.-Additional re-
ductiens in freight rates. on cotton
are announced by the South Carolina

ments five miles or less is eighteen
cents per hundred pounds es COM
pared with the December rate of
nineteen cents per hundred which it.
self was a reduction Of several cents
under the rate effective several
months ago. From this the new
schedule graduates up to sixty-nine
and a half cents per hundred for
shipments of three hundred miles as
compared with the December rate of
seventy-one and a half cents for ship
ments over three hundred miles. The
new rates are the same as the rail-
road commission low rate of the past
few months. These new rates are ef-
fective for the Carolinas, Georgia and
Alabama and are both interstate and

COLLECTING DOG TAX
Many Persons Pay Charges to Keep
Animals.

To date r. B. Cheatham, county
treasurer, has sold about 600 dog
license tags at s1.25 each, which
means an additional revenue to
school districts of $500. Since the
money goes to the schools direct, the
trustees in many communities are in
teresting themselves in handing the
treasurer lists of dog owners, as
we'll as actually collecting the money
in a few instances. If the tax is not
paid when the time limit comes the
treasurer will cali on the magistrates
to make collections, the law requir-
ing that they impose penalty Of
from SIS to $40, one-half of which
will go to the person reporting the
log.

INCOME TAX BLANK
GOES. :. TO PRINTER
FOR INCOMES NOT ABOVE FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS.-THIR.
''rY-FIvE FREIGHT CARS WILL
BE REQUIRED TO TRANSPORT
TO HEADQUARTERS.

Washington, Jan: 3:-Drafting OF
the new 1921 income tax return form
for incomes of $4,000 or less has
been completed by the tax simpll-
tication board, of which j. II. Beal
of Pittsburgh is chairman, it was
said tonight at the treasury.
The new forms, which are regard
ed as much more simple and less
confusing than those in use last year,
have gone to the printers and proba-
bly, will be ready for distribution
about January Is. From 15,o0o,oo0
to 20,oO0,000 copies Of the new
forms are being printed and it is es-
timated that So freight cars will be
required to send them to internal
revenue collectors throughout the
country. Efforts Ito simplify Form
1040-which is the form used BY the
average taxpayer-has resulted : IN
reducing he number of pages from
six to four and in eliminating the
block system of return utilized in
1920 which was said to be confusing
to the great majority of taxpayers
who had income from only one or
two sources. The internal revenue
bureau estimated 10 per cent ,of the
persons using the $4,000 form have
income from only salaries and wages
and possibly interest and have few
deductions to make from that in
come. "..'. :.
Tho new form will require tax
payers to list on the first page the
amounts Of income received from a
number Of sources and then form
the total of these amounts to deduct
the amounts TO whcih they are legally
entitled, the balance being the tax
able net income. '..'2ss
Theisecond page will require Ger
tain information from persons re-
ceiving incomes from specified source
such as a business carried on by the
and the: third and fourth
pages are devoted to instructions.
By reducing the form to four
pages the board has eliminated the
duplicate or "work sheet" Of the
1920 form but it was explained if
taxpayers wish to keep a copy Of
their returns sufficient forms will be
available for duplicates to be OBJ
tanned.

TREATY QUESTION
Dali ElREANN LOSES No TINE
AFTER CONVENING IN TAX
ING. UP PACT WITH ENGLAND.
O'coNNOR THINKS 1T STEP
BACKWARD.

Dublin, Jan. 3.-The Dali Eireann
lost no time after reconvening today
following its holiday recess in plung-
ing again into sharp debate on the
Anglo-Irish treaty. It had before it
once more an order of the day call
ing for consideration Of both Arthur
Grifiths. ratification motion and
canon de Valera's alternative pro-
posals, It was not generally thought
the debate would run many days
longer, many members anticipating
a vote by Thursday night or Friday.
An: opponent Of. the treaty, Art
o'Connor,: of South Kildare, Dali
minister of agriculture, opened to-
days debate with an argument that
the, treaty was q step backward and
a declaration Of belief that the real
heart OF the Irish people had not
changed, despite the numerous resolu
tipns by various bodies in favor Of
the pact. ai
O'Connor asserted the campaign
since the Dail's adjournment, had in
reality hurt the treaty, declaring it
had been 'waged by people. who had,
never done any good work for the
country and were now 'howling ct
as" .-.,-.,.. sy, ... G,s.zs,
He attacked the southern Unionists
saying the people Of Ireland would
have none Of them in the Irish free
state. clS: !. /
O'Connor was interrupted several
times during his address, notably by
Michael Collins, who resented his
attack on resolutions fayoring the
treaty passed by meetings Of farmers
and other public bodies. Collins call
ed attention to the suffering of the
rural population, hose houses had
been burned on all sides:
Michael Collins opened the debate
in the afternoon session with a de-
nunciation of joking reference Of
Countess Markiewiez, during the
morning session to the possibility Of.
a cancellation of the engagement Of
Princess Mary and Viscount Lascel-
les, in order that the Princess might
marry Collins and make him eligible
to the governor-generalship of Ire
land. Collins termed the suggestion
an insult to the lady in question, and
declared it was calculated'to cause
pain not only to her but to his own
finances. Co.,. ....
