INCOME TAX Returns
COMING IN SLOWLY
Penalty Will Be Put On Delin-
quents After March 18th, Col
Iector Says

ATLANTA, February 26.-FeG-
eral income tax returns are falling
far short of the usual number and
indications are that many taxpayers
of Georgia will be forced to pay
the added penalty for failure to
make returns by March 10, the time
limit for 1928 returns, according
to the collectors of internal rev
enue here.
1t was pointed out that at the
present date at which returns are
being received, hundreds of Geor-
gians will be unable to file returns
within the stipulated time, and due
to the last minute rush, win have
to pay the penalty for delinquency.
The delay of many taxpayers, 1t
was stated, is due largely to a be-
lief that the proposed bill provid-
ing for a reduction m income tax
rates. will be passed by Congress
before March Is. and that they will
derive the benefit of the reductions
under this law. 1t was explained
that if the bill should become eff
fective in time to reduce the rate
on 1928 taxes, the amount paid in
excess of the new rate will be re-
funded.
A group of internal revenuse col
lectiors are now touring the state
to assist taxpayers in filing III
come tax returns, it was stated.
During the week of February rs,
the collectors will visit Albany,
Waycross, Gainesville, Decatur Mil
ledgeville Athens, and other cities
and towns throughout the state, it
was announced.

ME- THODISTS ENDOV
.SUPERANNUATE ME- n
Church-Wide Subscription To
Huge Fund Will Be Taken
Sunday, March 6

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, February 26.-
The present church-wide call for
Southern Methodist is the $751;
100000 campaign for the superan-
nuate endowment fund for the
benefit of the worn out preachers
of the denomination, according to
an announcement by DR., Luther L.
Todd, secretary of the Board Of
Finance of the Church.
According to DIR. Todd, this caul-
paign, which began on Feb. /, will
take precedence over all other cam
paigns of the church until July /.
Sunday March 16, has been
designated as the day on which the
Methodists throughout the South
will be given an opportunity to
make their subscriptions to this
worthy cause.
1t is proposed to raise 100000
600 throughout the connection dur
ing the next five years. When col
lected this amount will be used as
an endowment fund to be applied
to the relief Of the wornout preach
ers and the widows and orphans Of
preachers, insuring the preacher an
average yearly income of $500,
when his years of active. service are
JVer.
The Board of Finance of the
church was created at the general
conference held in Atlanta in 1918
to perfect a plan for raising a
permanent endowment fund for
aged ministers. This plan was APP
proved by the general conference
at Hot Springs in 1922, and id now
to- be put into execution. Accord
ing to this plan each of the 1900
Methodist churches or congregations
will raise a yearly amount during
the next five years equal to one
fifth of the salary now paid to its
pastor and presiding elder. By
following this plan says DR.. Todd,
a total amount exceeding the $780,
100000 called for will be available
for an endowment fund.
