STATE INCOME
TAX. BLANKS

Columbia; April 12.-The state
tax commission is this week send
ing to every person in South Car
olina who made a federal income
! return, a blank affidavit, TO be
filed out and returned, stating
the amount Of income tax paid to
the federal government. These at
fidavits will be the basis for the
collection of the state income tax
this year.
The first insta1lment Of the state
income tax is due May I. BY thar
date affidavits must be sent tc the
state tax commission, each with
check for the full amount or for
one-fourth Of the amount due the
state as income tax. Each person
in the state who paid the federal
government an income tax is due
the state exactly one-third Of that
amount.
The tax commission Offices are a
busy place these days. An enlarg
ed force of clerks is busy mailing
out the income return aftidaVits
and also handling the mass of OF
flee work connected with the col
lection OF the gasoline tax, which
is being paid briskly now. For the
first month Of the operation Of this
new tax only q small amount was
collected, the only gasoline taxable
then being that on hand with the
retailers, and this was small
amount Now the wholesalers are
sending in the tax, paid on the
gasoline brought into the state and
payable when the gasoline enters
the state. The tax commission eS-
Inmates that between 100000 and
$4,000 Will be collected the first
month, ending April 20, and that
for the whole year almost Il million
dollars will be the states income
from the gasoline tax.

RADIO REPORTS
FOR. FARMERS
Clemson College Arranges to
Transmit Reports to County
Agents and Farmers by
Wireless

Clemson College. April 10
Clemson College, through its ex-
tension service. will serve the
farmers of South Carolina through
still another channel: namely, the
radio, the board Of trustees at its
meetings here or April having
authorized an appropriation for
the establishment of a radio equip
ment the primary purpose OF
which Will be to receive and relay
agricultural information and to
transmit to county agents, field ag-
ricultural specialists and farmers
such timely news and suggestions
about agriculture as may be advis-
able or necessary.
To this end the physics division,
under the direction Of Prof. w. r.
C Godfrey, will install as soon as pos
sible a long distance receiving
equipment so that advantage may
be taken Of the reports sent out
over radio by the United States
department Of agriculre, as we'll as
the necessary transmitting equip
ment 10 relay these reports to
county agents and other field
workers and 10 any farmers who
may put in moderate distance re-
ceiving sets. The Offices of the
county agents and the three dis
trict extension yhead0uarters will
be equipped with the receiving
sets.
1t is estimated receiving sets suf-
ficient to receive at any point in
the state may be put in for S25 to
$50 according to quality, and these
would be well within the means Of
many farmers. But weather, mar
ket. and crop reports, sent daily
to county agents to be posted by
them would serve the. mass of
farmers who would not see fit to
put in receiving sets. The install
lation Of the more costly long dis
tance receiving sets and relaying
apparatus at Clemson College will
relieve the farmers Of the expense
which would be necessary other
wise.
The question Of marketing Of
farm products is just now perhaps
the most prominent one in agri-
culture, and it is the purpose OF
Director Long Of the extension
service to use the radio to the
greatest possible extent and ad-
vantage in promoting better mar
keting.
1t is clear that the United States
department Of agriculture intends
to make wide use Of the radio
phone in scattering agricultural in
formation for the farmers benefit,
and the decision of the Clemson
College Board Of Trustees to put
in radio outfit is in line with
the institutions general policy OF
maximum public service. Aside
from the service to agriculture, the
more. general use Of such an out
fit for educational and entertain
ment opens up an inviting field OF
possibility.

British Premier Urges Ma
tions to Agree on Basis of
Real Peace
Genoa. April 10 {By the ASS

Genoa, April 10 1By the ASSo-
ciated Press). - Premier Lloyd
George in his speech before the
conference said:
/. This is the greatest gathering
Of European nations which has
ever assembled on this continent,
and having regard for the magni-
tude of the assembly. the chara cter
of its representing and the I'M
portance of the topics we are here
to discuss. the results C. the con-
fe. ,nce will be far-reaching in
their effects, either for better or
for worse, upon the destiny not
merely Of Europe, but the whole
world.
I'VE meet on equal terms. pro-
vlded we accent equal conditions.
We are not here as allied and
enemy states; we are not here as
belligerents or neutrals; we have
not come together as monarchists
or Republicans or Sovietists. We
are assembled as the representa-
tives of all the nations and peo-
pies Of Europe to seek out in COM
mon the best methods for restor-
ing the shattered prosperity of this
continent.
'"TheSe conditions inviting the
powers were laid down at Cannes.
They apply TO all alike; they are
the conditions which heretofore
have been accepted by all civilized
communities as the basis of inter-
national good faith. I will sum-
marize them in two or three SEN
tences.
The first is, when a country en-
ters into contractual obligations
tiOnalS for value received, that con-
tract can not be repudiated when
ever the country changes its gov
eminent without returning the
value. The second is that no coun-
try can wage war on the institu-
tions Of another. The third is that
one nation shall not engage in ag-
sressive operations against the ter
ritory Of another. The fourth is
that the nations Of one country
shall be entitled to impartial JUS
tice IN the courts Of another.
If any people reject these ele-
mentary conditions of civilized in
tercourse between nations they can
not be expected to be received into
the comfy Of nations.
Europe undoubtedly needs a
common effort to repair the de-
yastation wrought by the most de-
structlye war ever waged in this
world. That war came to an end
three years ago. Europe, exhaust
ed with its fury, with the loss Of
blood and treasure it involved is
staggering under the colossal bur-
dens Of debt and reparation it en-
tails. The pulse of commerce is
beating feebly, wildly; in some
lands artificial activity is stinlu-
lated either by demands for,repair-
ing the ravages of war or by gen.
erations Of thrift by the frugal and
industrious among the people; hut
