Mayor Smoot spoke briefly. but
forcefully, his chief argument be-

timely and that such step
should not be taken hastily.
Major Ewing. chairman of the
committee from Arlington spoke
in favor of the bill, saying that
if it was not taken up it would
put the assembly in the position
of allowing the small minority

Attorney James R. Cation, cour

MAY TOTAL MORE
Back Taxes Are Expected
to Bring Total $780, 900,
600 Higher - Reports
Are Not Complete. a.
tBy United Press,

Washington, March 16.-Pre-
Iliminary reports from federal tax
collectors indicate that the Ame7
rican people paid slightly in eX-
cess of S40O, 100000, income taxes
Yesterday. Treasury officials said
TO-DAY
The total may reach S42O,0O0,-
900, which would be $27O00,OOO
greater than the amount received
on the same date last year.
Previous predictions of the
Treasury were that the pay
ments would amount to S4OO,0OO,-
1000. The tax returns made yes
terday call for an annual pay
Iment of nearly $1,5OO,O0O,O0O it
was estimaed.
Treasury officials believe that
the increase in taxes is a baro-
meter of a healthy business re-
Ivival that was in progress last
year.
In addition to the taxes called
for in returns filed yesterday, al
additional sum ranging from
jSlOO 100000 to S200,000,000 prob
| ably will be received this yeal
from back taxes. This will be
partly offset by tax refunds
amounting to from S5O,OOO,oO(
to $75,000,000.
Some of the important colpo
ration returns received severa
days ago are said to clearly show
better business conditions las
iyear, as compared with 1921
which suffered from the post wal
reaction.
The exact amount of the taxes
received yesterday will not b'
known for several days, as grea
heaps of returns, filed at th'
eleventh hour, were in the col

Night Mail Stays in

Citizens Believe Service
is Not so Good-Admin-
istration is "Humanl-
tartan"

Because the present post office
administration is "humanltar-
ian" institution and does not IA
vor working its employees at night
owing to the detrimental effect
artificial light has upon human
eyesight the local post oftlee
closes all business and leaves Al
cxandria with neither an ineom-
ing nor an outgoing mail between
the hours of ll:l0 p. m. and D a.
m.. it was explained by Postmas-
ter f. Clinton Knight in an in
terview this moring.
A letter that is mailed in the
street boxes at any time later
than $3.50 p. m. remains there un-
Til the street deliveries are made
the following morning, thus hold
ing the letter a matter of some
thing like twelve hours. was
among the other startling revela-
tions made during the interview
The postal service in AleXan-
dria is, at the best, not so good
is the opinion of many of the
towns people and with the new ar
rangement of affairs, it is worse.
Thousands of cities in the
United States are furnished with
all night mail service despite the
effect upon the eyes of those who
give it,
The local office has been self
sustaining so far during the re-
gime of Mr.. Knight, he says, but
adds that it is too early to yc'
state whether this condition will
continue.
The reason that the street boxes
get no more consideration than
they do is attributed By Mr
Knight, 70 the fact that the pa
irons wished their morning de-
livery earlier and that the out
going mails that are posted in
the street boxes are the ones
which suffer in etfecting this i'm.
provement,
The principal object of the in.
terview today was 10 ascertain
whether or not the local office
would suffer from the lack Of
funds or a deficit of more thar

Postmaster General Harry S. New
when he assumed the duties a

First of Bond Bills Will
be Taken in House
Today
NOT STRONG ENOUGH
Session Seems Likely to
be Held For Another
Week-Houses Fail to
Cooperate.
By l.. T.. COOPER

Richmond, Va, March l6-An-
other warm debate over highway
financing measures is predicted in
the house this afternoon, when
the bills of the bond issue advo-
Gates are taken up. The bond
proponents, will make a strong
fight in their behalf, but it is not
expected that they will be able to
muster sufficient strength to get
their measures through.
The first of the bond bills to be ,
taken up will be the bill for the
issuance of s6,000,000 in certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness to he added
to the current funds for highway
financing.
The second bill is a 1-cent gasc-
line tax .oposal to provide reve-
nue. for funding the above debt.
The third is the Willis referen-
dun bill, providing that the peo-
pie vote in special September
election upon whether or not they
desire $50,000,000 road bond
Issue. $lO,OOO,oOO Of which would
be devoted to feeder roads.
Richmond. Va, March 16.-The
prospect today was that the spe-
cial session Of the general as
sembIv would continue in ses-
sion at least until the latter part
of next week.
Such is the opinion Of many
leaders in both houses, whose
prediction is based mainly on
the avowed disposition of the
members of the upper house to
proceed slowly, giving the high
way measures careful cOnsidera-
ton, the tentative calendar OF
discussion. and the apparent de-
sire Of the senate to await the
action of the house on all OF the
highway matters before taking
them up with a view passing
upon them.
The upper body is not schedu-
led to vote upon three of the pri-
mary highway bills until next
Thursday afternoon. Further de-
bate is expected even after their
action, on prospective amend
ments which they will doubtless
submit. The referendum bills are
not valid after II p. m. Of that
day. according to a resolution
adopted yesterdays in the SEN
ate.
Although both branches have
passed the Goode bill, allowing
the governor to borrow an
amount estimated at between ST.
500, 900 and S3,OO0,00O in anti
cipation of the mill tax and pro-
posed gasoline tax, they are not
expected to be found in such
hearty accord on the principal
/ highway construction financing
questions.
The house Of delegates yester-
day afternoon suspended its spe-
cial order giving preference to
the highway bills, in order that
members might attend the fun
eral Of Norvell L. Henley, dele
gate from Williamsburg and con-
tiguous territory, who died Tues
dav afternoon in Johnston-Wilhs
hospital after a short illness.
and whose funeral was held at
his home. Williamsburg. a spe-
cial committee represented the
assembly at the services.
The senate committee on public
institutions and education today
reported unfavorably the house
resolution sponsored by Delegate
Smithey, providing for a survey
of the educational system in the
