AMERICAN RUN
 TO ORIENT E AGAIN OPENED
Freighters fo Ply Route Soon, Followed by Pas
 senger-Cargo Ships

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The Maritime Commission today an- nounced immediate reestablishment of American flag freighter service between Seattle and the Orient.
 It is said the service will begin as soon as the suitable commissioned vessels can be moved to Puget Sound the freight service to be supplement- ed within eight months by four combination passenger and freight ships now in the Baltic service.
 There has been no American flag service out of Seattle to the Orient since last June when the Dollar Steamship Company withdrew it's American Mail Line boats.
 The commission rejected the pro- posal of a Puget Sound delegation to put four idle Munson liners into service, on the ground that the chance it stood of losing about three million dollars before the new ships are ready for service if the Munson liners are used, while if the Baltic ships are used, the chance of break ing even is more apparent.

MUST RUSH INCOME TAX
 STATEMENTS
Only Reasonable Causes Will Be Excuse in De-
 laying Filing Returns

TACOMA, Wash. Feb. 11.--Delay incurred by severe illness or some reasonable cause such as absence from the United States will be the only excuse that will be acceptable to the Collector of Internal Revenue to income taxpayers who, under the law, are required to file returns and pay the tax due on or before March Is.
 Thor w. Hendrickson, Acting Col lector, in urging this precaution on the eve of another filing period stat ed that his staff was already busy receiving returns from hundreds of persons anxious to prepare and file reports early He added, However, more than 130,000 taxpayers filed last year, and our list has been grow ing each year, so, to give taxpayers efficient and courteous service we plead that persons who are liable should file early" The collectors of fees at Seattle, Tacoma, and Spok- ane, and the eight district offices throughout the State where deptlt- ies are statione dior the convenience of the taxpayers, have detailed ex- perienced staff deputies for the next six weeks to assist in the prepara- ton of necessary returns.
 During the final weeks before March 15,' he stated, thousands crowd these offices and assistance must be limited to accommodate the many"
 To. Curtail Abuse
 The Commissioner of Internal Re- venue, Guy T. Helvering, has in structed all collectors, according to Henrickson, that the widely abused extension of time for filing" priv ilege, which each year creates heavy and additional volume of work in each office, must be curtailed by adoption of a more stringent policy in the granting of extensions. Appli- cations for extensions must be in affidavit form and must contain a full recital of the cause for delay. Extreme illness, absence from the State on important business, and travelling abroad are classified as the most eligible causes. The penalty for failure to file on time, the col- lector warned, may reach twenty five percent, the rate beginning at five percent for the first thirty days, and additional five percent added for each additional thirty days to a maximum of twenty five percent. Interest, too, he said, is charged on delinquent taxes. All these, he said, can be avoided by fil- ing returns as early as possible.
 Forms have been mailed to all taxpayers who filed in the past year. Others may secure them from the Tacoma office by mail or at any dis trict office. The law in general re- quires that all single persons whose net incomes are $l ,000 or more, and all married persons whose aggregate net incomes of $2,500 or more, or persons whose aggregate gross m- come is $5,000 or more, must file re- turnes regardless of tax liability.

Exceptional Measures Taken

Why did I ask for these powers?
Why did the Parliament grant them

We have also taken measures of
