REFUNDING BILL
DECIDED TODAY

Washington. Jan. Enlargement
to press the allied debt refunding bill
to a vote tomorrow even if that
makes necessary night session Of
the senate was reached late today by
Republican and Democratic leaders.
1t came after five hours Of debate,
much of which was on extraneous
subjects.
Opposing the proposed grant Of
authority to the debt commission,
headed by Secretary Mellon, TO cx-
tend the time of interest payments
at its discretion, Senator Reed Dem-
ocraO of Missouri declared that ho
had no doubt there was IAN inside tn

Senator Simmons Gtrmocrat) of

of interest payments on the foreign
debt would enable 1.-The private hold
crS" in this country of $4,000, ,000,0 900
realize on their investment ahead of
the American government.
Senator Reed also declared that if
the commission could defer interest
payments for ten years, as he said
one senator had suggested might be
done in the case Of some countries,
there could be cancellation OF the
whole debt as the accumulated inter
est for ten or II years would about
equal the present principal Of the
debt
The Missouri senator said that be-
cause of 1.-The environment" in which
Secretary Mellon had lievd, Mr.. Mel

EXTENDS TIME
FOR PAYING TAXES

Passage of Senator Wells resolu
ton to postpone the time for the pay
ment of state and county taves as
amended by the senate was the out
standing event of the upper house OF
the legislature yesterday. Under the
resolution passed the time is extend.
ed until June l., 1922, with graduated
penalties and executions to go in the
hands of sheriffs on September 1.
Senator Wells could hardly recog.
nize his original resolution as passed
but the amendments carried out his
desire to a large extent. The resolu-
tion provides for the following pen
alties: One per cent for January, 2
per cent for February, per cent for
March, per cent for April, per cent
for May and per cent beginning
June 1 and running until September
I. They are not cumulative. Senator
Beasley offered the amendment to de-
lay the placing of the executions in
the hands of sheriffs until September
/. Under the action of the senate,
lhS val iouo Couiiey IISaSuISIS Will IS
sue the executions on and after June
1 but they will be held until Septem-
Der ! so any taxpayer may pay his
taxes prior to September / without
dealing with the sheriff and paying
the cost Of collections.
Another important amendment Of
fered b ySenator Noise of Sumter was
adopted to provide that any person
paying taxes prior to June would be
construed to have paid his taxes
"within the time allowed by law" and
thereby be entitled to vote in any gen.
eral or special election for 1922. This
amendment was to protect the rights
of voters who did not pay their taxes
prior to December 81, as the supreme
court has held that a person is not
eligible to vote unless he has paid
his taxes within the time allowed by
law.

Attention, Ex-Service Men!'

Here's news! Good news! On Jan
uary 2, 1922, new rules concerning re-
instatement became effective and your
chance to get this insurance again was
extended to March A, 1926.
If you are one of the unfortunate
ex-service men who has allowed his
insurance to lapse, Uncle Sam has a
generous proposition to make to you.
If you are in good health you can
reinstate your term (war time) insur-
ance by paying for only two months,
the current month and a month of
grace, and submitting a report of a
medical examination. You can get this
examination at any Veterans Bureau
Office. Take the example of man
"a years of age, he can reinstate
$1,000 worth of term insurance for
$1.32 or $4,000 for 1920. If he is
older than "a it will cost him more
for each birthday; if he is younger it
will cost less.
If you are suffering from an injury
or disease contracted in, or aggravated
by, active military or naval service
during the world war, you may rein
state, provided you are not totally and
permanently disabled, by payment of
all premiums in arrears, plus per
cent interest. This must be accom-
panied by full medical examination
(Which may be made by any physician
who is employed by the U. s. Vet
erans' Bureau at the expense of the
government), in order that it may
be determined if your disabilities are
due to service and furthermore that
you are not permanently and totally
disabled.
Forms for application for reinstate-
ment will be furnished by any Office
of the u. S. Veterans Bureau.
At some time before March a, 1926,
all those who have not changed their
war time policies into one of the six
forms of converted insurance must do
so, or their insurance will automati-
cally expire. These forms are Ordi-
nary Life, 20-Payment Life, 3O-Pay-
ment Life, 20-Year Endowment, 30
Year Endowment, and Endowment at
age of 62. 1t is to any mans ad-
vantage to convert soon, as he saves
himself money in the long run. Pro
lection on a converted policy is less
than that on term policy, and at the
end of year any converted policy has
cash surrender value, cash loan
value, paid up insurance, and extended
insurance. The premium rates on
converted insurance never change, but
the dividends (Which are payable an
nually) will constantly increase.
Any man owes protection to his
loved ones; he owes it to himself to
invest wisely, therefore, it is best to
exercise good judgment and reinstate
and convert now.-

FORD DELIVERS
SIGNED CONTRACT

Washington, Jan. 27.-Four devel
opments of outstanding importanc,
marked progress today in the Muscle
Shoals negotiations and brought to {
close the negotiations between wal
department officials and representa-
tives Of Henry Ford which have ex
tended over a period of more than 81,
months.
w. B. Mayo, acting for Mr.. Ford
delivered the signed contract proposal
for purchase and lease of the nitrate
and water power projects made by the
Detroit manufacturer to the war sec.
retary in the afternoon, thus termi.
mating the negotiations between the
department and Mr.. Ford.
Senator Underwood of Alabama
after conference with Secretary
Weeks, during which he asked ap-
proval of the contract, announced that
he was "quite sure" the secretary
would submit report to congress ex-
pressing friendly Endorsement" of
the document and proposal it embod-
led.
Secretary Weeks continued work of
drafting the report for congress and
informed callers at the department
that he would submit the document
and report at the same time, probably
Monday of next week.
Although the negotiations betwee.,
the war department and Mr.. Ford
were concluded today, the department
still faces work on the Muscle Shoals
question from two other angles.
These include the offers Of Fred
erick Engstrum of Wilmington, N. c.,
and G.. C. Tinker of San Francisco
both of which are in the process of
modification by their makers and have
been made subject of an announce
ment by Secretary Weeks to the eff
feet that they would be submitted to
congress after they were given final
form and ha6 been carefully studied
by him and war department engineers.
