AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS
Official Washington Is Specializing on
How Many Ex-service Men Will
Be Returned.

Official Washington is wondering
how many ex-service men are to be
returned to congress at the election
next fall Speculation is rife, with the
bonus controversy at full tilt.
Veterans of the World war already
have formidable strength in the house,
81 seats being occupied by former
service men, according to canvass by
the American Legion. The senate has
two veterans-Senator Newberry Of
Michigan, and Senator Elklns of West
Virginia. Twenty-one states are rep
resented by ex-service men In con-
gress, New York leading with four.
Massachusetts and Tennessee being
second with three each.
Far-sighted persons have hazarded
the opinion that when the votes are
counted in November, 1t will be found
that the number Of ex-soldlers In tha
house has been materially increased.

ment was destroyed by fire.
Sparks falling on roofs and defec-

ture films, exploding lamps, electric
irons and children playing with
matches are still included in the list.

ed the department
Scores Of taxpayers have not yet
| filed their income tax returns for the
calendar year ending December 81,
| 1921, while many others have sent in
their returns after March Is, which
was the final date for filing, 1t is to
check up on these classes that Com
missioner Watts Is addressing letters
advising that under the law a penalty
OF five per cent, with interest at the
rate Of one per cent per month must
be levied in all instances where the
tax was paid after March Is.
"The State Department Of Rev.
enue,' Commissioner Watts said,
will do as well by its citizens
as the Federal government in the mat
ter of payment on income taxes, but
we would be glad to know just why
the returns are late or why they have
not been filed with the department"
The commissioner points out that the
law assesses the penalties, making it
mandatory upon the revenue depart
ment and that this course will be fol-
loved except in cases where sickness,
absence from home or other causes
which could not have been anticipated
have prevented the fling of the re-
turns.
The following letter has been sent
to all citizens who have not complied
with the letter of the law in making
their tax returns:
your income tax return was re-
ceived after March Is. Under the law
a penalty of five per cent, which in
no case shall be less than one dollar,
and interest at one per cent per month
has accrued.
IF you were sick, absent from
home, or were unavoidably prevented
from making your return within the
time prescribed by law, please write
me at once, setting forth the reason
for your failure to make the return
on or before March Is, and ask for
an extension Of time. This will be
granted and the penalty cancelled II
your reason for failure to file in time
is legal one.
III you were not sick, absent or un-
avoidably prevented from taking the
return in time. please send check for
the amount Of the penalty

appeal for executive clemency in 20

"Live.at.Home" Movement Grows.

Raleigh.-Followin the recent APP.
pointment by Governor Morrison of
county campaign committees in the
"Live,at-Home" movement, reports
are coming into the office of the Cen
trail Committee at Raleigh indicating
that counties in all sections of the
state have been thoroughly aroused
in the matter and are planning yigor-
Gus campaigns. In many counties ac-
tive campaigns are already under way.
Governor Morrison and Director B.
W Kilgore of the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service have both been in de-
mand as speakers as both appeared
at rousing meeting of farmers and
business men in New Bern and the
governor has also spoken at Hamlet
and Charlotte.
John Paul Lucas, executive secre-
tary of the Central Campaign Commit
tee, spoke at a get-together meeting
at Tarboro and has tentative engage
ments at Louisburg and GastOnla in
the immediate future.
Every fair association in North Car
DINA is being called upon to coop
crate in the 'Live.at. Home" move.
ment Executive Secretary Lucas is
sending to each fair secretary page
article for their premium list and is
also suggesting to them that prize
or prizes be offered to the family or
families which most nearly approx
mates the ideal of the "Liveat- Home
movement. He suggests that this prize
should not necessarily be given to
the family which spends the least
money for food or feed stuffs grown
elsewhere, but that 1t should be award
ed to the family which secures from
its premises the best rounded, best
balanced and most wholesome living.
Such a move upon the part Of the
fair associations. in the opinion Of
Mr.. Lucas, will not only aid in the
furtherance OF the "Live-at. Home"
campaign. but Il will emphasize the
importance of the fair as a construc-
tive force in the agricultural develop
ment Of the state./

president HARDING has ordere,

president HARDING has ordered
all American troops In Germany
returned to the United States by July
/, the beginning of the 1923 fiscal year.
This was the American governments
first answer to the refusal Of the allied
reparation commission to pay its bill
for S241 100000 for the expense of
United States troops on the Rhine up
to May l, 1921, out Of billion gold
marks recently paid over by Germany.
The allies argue this way: The allies
are not bound by the Berlin treaty,
Just as the United States is not bound
by the Versailles treaty. Americas
claim is based on the Berlin treaty.
Therefore the allies are not bound
to pay the American claim.
Secretary of State Hughes has made
the governments second answer. In
effect he has served notice on the
allies that they cannot dodge pay
ment of the Rhine debt by attempting
to hide behind technlcality which
doesn't exist. Identical communica-
lions were placed Wednesday, March
y. by American ambassadors before
the governments Of Great Britain,
France, Italy, Japan and Belgium.
Secretary Hughes insists that the
right of the United States to be paid
Is not only clearly equitable but free
from any technical objection. He sets
forth In detail this right, as established
Jointly under the terms Of the armis-
tice, the treaty Of Versailles and the
treaty Of peace between the United
States and Germany. He says the
United States will welcome any sug
gestion from the allies for reasonable
adjustment. And In the meantime will
they please refrain from giving effect
to any arrangements for the dlstribu-
ton of German cash payments to the
exclusion of the claim of the United
States.
Evidently the situation is one which
requires an able secretary of state. II
apparently has many complications.
In debate In the senate Senator Lodge
said that our claim had nothing to do
with either treaty, that It was based

to pay the bonus, which Is omitted
from the house bill. Some political
prophets predict deadlock between
the two houses. Nobody pretends
to be able to say whether or not
President Harding will veto the bill.
President Harding, upon his return
from short vacation in Florida, was
called upon Monday, March 20, at the
White House by a delegation from the
house: Floor Leader Mondell (Wyom-
ing) and Representatives Fordney
(Mlchlgan), Towner Qowa), Campbell
(Kansas), Longwolth (Ohio) and FeSS
(Ohio). They discussed bonus leglsIa-
ton for two hours, with this result,
according to the official communique ::
"The legislative situation relating
to the bonus bill was fully presented
to the President, with detailed eX-
PLANTATION of the provisions which re-
move the menace of excessive drafts
on the treasury in the immediate fu.
ture and avoid any program Of added
taxation. The President went over
the entire situation with an appraisal
Of commitments made. He advised
the committee that the legislation Is
responsibility Of congress, and in
view of expressions previously made
he did not think 1t essential to offer
any recommendations
The Presidents Expressions pre-
viously made" were recommendations

funds were In hand. The delegation
was divided as to whether the Presi
dent would or would not veto the bill
If passed.
Everybody was on hand when the
house opened Monday and nobody
seemed to know what Speaker Gillett
intended to do. Garner democrat,
Texas) asked that Mondell be given
two minutes to tell the status of the
bonus bill. Campbell called for the
regular order. The speaker announced
that no one would be recognized that
day to bring up the bill Then there
was conference in the speakers
Office. 1t got nowhere. The speaker
held that he would not assume the re-
sponslbllity of letting the bill come
up until he had the express command
of the majority members. Democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee made a minority report which
called the bill all the financial, eco
nomic and political names on the
calendar. Tuesday definite program
for the passage Of the bill Thursday
by the house under suspension Of the
rules was announced by the Republi-
can leaders.

on an agreement made under the
armistlce and that evasion was a
mere techncality. Senator Underwood
agreed as to the technicallty and then
said this In effect:
Nevertheless, payment rests In the
PREPARATION commission. The supreme
war cOuncil-not to be COMPOUNDED
with the supreme council of the League
Of Nallons-was given charge Of wind
ing up the war. We had a representa-
tive on that supreme council until af-
ter the defeat of the Versailles treaty.
That supreme council turned over to
the PREPARATION commission the adj
mlnlstratOn Of the funds to be col
lected from Germany TO pay the troops
on the Rhine. The commission Is now
handling these funds. The only way
we can get our share is to sit In at the
rcparallon table"
Close observers in Washington say
that the Presidents informal utter
anceS indicate that he would look
with favor upon the appointment by
congress Of an American representa-
tive on the allied reparation com
mission. He will not propose 1t, but
lie thinks congress should realize its
necessity.

other hand there is an apparent ma
jorlty who regard the new draft as a
compromise which should satisfy the
aspirations of all concerned. These
generally express the hope that the
new constitution will be adopted and
confirmed by the League of Nations.
The dssentists, Arabs and Jews
alike, have organized themselves to
obtain the modification of some of the
terms In the draft. The Zionists OBJ
