GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 Mr. Blair Cuts Red Tape As To Money Recovery By Taxpayers Hereafter It Will Not Be Necessary to File Claim of Abatement. John Small Brings Suit For Eridance Co. Against Mr. Blair I to Force Commissioner to Issue Whisljy Permit. 1 . Stllr Ni stir, itl iM Tettraph OnV, i tn Alto billidlni (ly Iriud Wlrtl At THKOIMIIIK TlLl.riH. Waahlne-ton, Deo. 16. Kavld H. Hair, th Tar Heel commissioner of Internal revenue, today cut the red lap of ihe bureau In connection with the recovery of motley by the taxpayer who-has paid an over assessment on Income tax re turns. Commissioner Hlalr announoH that a new riillns;, effective todaU, makes It unnecessary hreafter to nle a claim of abatement and the taxpay er will be aaved lojig- delay and an noyance auch aa have occurred In the pant. ; Under the revised policy ordered by Commissioner Illalr the treasury will return Ihe overpayment to the man who has paid too much In taxea and he will not be forced to unwind a bunch 'of red tape to get hl money back. The chanjre la of Interest both to the large and email taxpayer, and Commissioner Hltilr douhtleaa aoon will be called blessed by the harassed lea-lone who have struggled over Income tax blanks. Heretofore when an overaaseaament or overpayment waa dlacloaed by the audit of an Income tax return the tax payer waa Invited to file a claim for the abatement of the over assessment or the, refund of the overpayment. When received the claim was register ed and filed away until reached In due course for consideration. Because of the large number of such claims filed, delay in adjustment necessarily re sulted. After December 15 taxpayers will not be advised of their privilege of filing a claim for the refund of taxes which have been paid In excess of amounts legally due, but Instead will recplva a certificate of overaasessment and a check In correction ol the error, or if an as sessment Is outstanding against the taxpayer for income or excesa profits tax, the overpayment will be applied as a credit agalnat the assessment, and the balance Immediately refunded. This will be of distinct financial ad vantage to both the taxpayer and the government. It will do away with the necessity for the taxpayer filing a olalm for refund, and will greatly re duce the amount of work to be done by the bureau In the adjustment of claims. ' Tax payers may continue to file claims for abatement and refund, but It Is expected that the number of such claims filed each month will be great ly reduced. Efforts are being made by the bureau to adjust within six months all claims now pending, and there after to keep the work current. The levenue act of 1821 provides that un der certain conditions Interest shall be paid upon clalma from the data of the payment of the tax to the date or the allowance of the claim. The new procedure should greatly reduce the amount of Interest which the govern ment must of necessity pay upon clalma for refund. John H. Small, former representative In Congress from North Carolina today brought suit agalnat David H. Blair. Internal revenue commissioner and Roy V. Haynes, prohibition commission er In the district supreme court, In behalf of Eridance Company Incorpor ated of New York to compel the de fendants to Issue this company a per mit to sell Intoxicating liquors at wholesale, the plaintiffs being whole sale druggists In New York. Recent ruling of the attorney gen eral, limiting the sources for the sale of Intoxicating liquors for medical purposes in effect was that permits to sell In'oxleattng liquors at wholesale may only be Issued to wholesale drug gists. The present commissioner, It Is charged by the plaintiffs has denied many applications for such permits, and unusual delay has existed In many other cases. This has resulted, It Is set out, In great Inconvenience both to wholesale druggists and to the public, and there has been much crit icism. The reason assigned for refusing the permit tn this Instance Is because tht wholesale drug company did not carry a stock at all times exceeding the value of I2C.0O0. It Is set out by the plaintiff' that there Is nothing in the law or the regulations which fixes th amount of drugs which must be car- IttiPPY Hi Resident of Memphis Re joices Over Her Remark able Restoration to Health.

The catchers and dealers In scallops it Morehead City are greatly Vlisturlied over the action of inspectors at Boston and New ,York In solxiViu ship ments to those places and , Senator Simmons has been urged to help them out of the trouble and prevent great financial loss and Inconvenience, William M. Webb, of Slorthead City, member of1 the chamber of commerce, lortay wired Senator Simmons stating that the seizure was made on the ground that the scallops were "soak ed." Ha said It was necessary to wash scallops before shipping and to do so without their taking up some water waa Impossible. He said dealers can not determine when scallops are soak ed and the seizure in Boston and New York yesterday of 1,000 gallons In each place would force everyone to salt the buafneas, which will throw out of employment several hundred people. He urges that Inspectors be sent there Instead of to the destination of the shlpmenta. Senator Simmons wired tn reply that he took the matter up with Dr. Camp bell of the bureau of chemistry de partment of agriculture, having In charge the enforcement of the pure food and drug act, and .that Dr. Camp bell said scallops seised In New York and Boaton had 'been soaked far be yond necessity of washing and that this soaking must stos Dr. Campbell, the senator stated, refused to release the scallops seized but that they may be placed on cold storage and, under conditions prescribed by law, posses sion of them can restore to -owners af ter termination of proceedings to be Instituted under the pure food and drug act by the United States attor ney general, , Submitting Its voluminous annual report to Congress today the board of army engineers estimated a number of North Carolina rivers and harbors. Practically all of the recommendations however covered existing projects and proposed to use available and unex pended balances. The army engineers' .report Is discounted somewhat by the faot that the budget director, General Dawes, has recommended a "lump sum" riv ers and harbors appropriation bill of (26.671,000. This lump sum would suf flee for the entire country and be ap portioned by the army engineers and not by congress through .epeclfla and Individual appropriations. The esti mates of the engineers are around 150,000.000 so the Dawes budget cuts the amount almost In half. , For North Carolina the army engi neers estimate, In brief, as follows: Cape Fear river at and below Wil mington; for maintenance and dredg ing the next fiscal year (90,000 out of an unexpended balance: required to complete project eventually $216,000.

THE LONG BILL MEETS AN INGLORIOUS ENDING IN HOUSE COMMITTEE minuert Irum Page One., 30 memberR answered yes to the question.

' Dyers mlttee on agriculture the 26 eent tax levied on cotton ginned for the pur pose of creating a warehouse fund was repealed by the senate Friday. The bill was introduced In the house by McHwaln, of Cumberland, and went through the senate without mourners and was burled without benefit of clergy. The agricultural committee last ses sion fought oft attacks on this bill, but this year the failure of the depart ment of agriculture to furnish infor mation about the amount of taxes col lected under this law, the disposition that had been made of this money, the number of bales of cotton ginned and other Information about the operation of this tax. The resolution asking for this Information was passed early in the sesslrin, and attention was called to the fadt that; this information had never ttoea furnished. The result to day was that when the measure, which the committee on agriculture had saved tat the regular session, cams up ona favorable committee re port from the committee, i It went through without comment or discus sion. Th tax will not be collected after the date of the ratification of the bill, and the money already collected will be held for the uses for which It was Intended. Some of the members of the senate understood that about half a million dollars had been collected. This money was appropriated In the original bill for the building of a sys tem of cotton warehouses In North Carolina through loans to communi ties which would match the stats aid money for this work. Rosebor Squabble. The senate today put Representative T. IS. Owen, of Sampson, county back on the taxpayera list of Roseboro, for on a strictly party vote It repealed the law passed at the end of laat session which took Mr. Owen's property and that about 60 other people out of the city limits of the town. Over the Bampsonlan's vigorous pro test the bill Introduced by request by Townsend of Harnett, passed the house and had a favorable committee report in the senate. The Republican friends of Mr. Owen were Itching for the bill, and when the reading clerk came to It along with other roll call bills on the local calendar, Sena tor Byrd moved that the bill b tabled. Frank Dunlop heard It and recog nised the bill whloh has caused so much discussion in committees, and he proteeted. Raynor made the point of ordef that a motion to table waa not debatable. Then Elmer Long asked Senator Byrd If he would be willing to withdraw his motion long enough for the senate to get an understanding of the nature of the bill. By this time the chamber was alert and Senator Long explained that 46 of the 60 peo ple taken out of the town, now wanted to come back, and had asked Mr. Townsend to Introduce the bill. After some discussion the bill passed with all Republicans voting against It and all Democrats voting for It Change Judicial Districts. There was no opposition to the bill to take Polk county out of the 16th and put It In the 18th judicial district, but the proposal to take .Catawba county out of the 17th and put it In the 16th district brought vigorous protest from Senator Relnhardt, who said that neither he nor the representative of his county In the house had been con sulted about the bill. He did not want to see the change made and asked for a roll call which showed a strict party division, Mr. Relnhardt then objeoted to third reading on the earns day, but th senate suspended the rules and put the bill through with Senator Bum garner's amendment to make the change effective In July of next year. This amendment was satisfactory to the proponents of the bill, who thought the solicitor was entitled to the fees from cases now psndlng. New Bills. The senate continued to Introduce bills today, the following being added to the list already Introduced! Squires Amend th Caldwell oounty gams laws. Btubbs Amend the' town of Wash ington's school laws. 1 OrllTin Joint resolution carrying a memorial to the general assembly of Virginia regarding a road between Elizabeth City and Norfolk.

Mendenhall Amend tht law relating to the use of the "license applied for" tag on automobiles. Erwln Joint resolution for extra pay for th engineer and fireman dur ing the session of the legislature. Raleigh Robberies. Thre robberies In Raleigh last night on th most public streets of the city and before It became 1st enough to make travel lonely, have caused a lot of police speculation as all three seem to have been done by the same men. Th money taken .was trifling for thre hauls, but one of these robberies was pulled off within half a block of the capltol. And all thre victims of th highwaymen were prominent R. L, Horton, merchant, was cracksd over ths head with a revolver- near St. Mary's school, H. C wllkerscm was held up near Oakwood avenue and Per son street Intersection, and D. J. Har rington on New Bern. Mr. Horton was hurt In the encounter but not seriously. Mr. Horton lost only $3.60 of his money. Th thieves roturned Mr. Wllkerson's watch because he told them that his wife gav it to him. They seem to be sentimental ruffians, Governor Morrison In unconditionally pardoning Howard Hill, of Oullford county, yesterday serving a sentence of two years for simple assault on a female, gave these reasons: "Th prisoner was convicted at the June term, 1031. of the superior court of Oullford county for a simple assault on a young woman and sentenced to two years In the jail of Oullford coun ty to be worked upon the publtu roads. The prisoner has served something- over five months of his term. Th young lady upon whom the assault was committed asked me to pardon him, and hr father Joins In th re quest. The Hon. J:C Bower, the state solicitor, who prosecuted him, joins In the request, as does Mr. H. L Koontx who represented the family as nrlvate counsel.) and assisted In th prosecution. The sheriff and clerk bf Ihe court of Oullford county, join In the petition as do also many good clt Isena of the county. It was a very unhappy Incident but there seems to have been a mlsunder stsnding, and th father of the young woman appeals to ms to pardon th young man without delay. For the foregoing reasons and feel' Ing that th young man has been suf ftclently punished for any o(Tens which he committed, and especially upon the recommendation of the solici tor and the young lady and her father, I hereby unconditionally pardon him.'
