‘The extension of this line will
effect over ohe-thlrd of the people
of Ashe county or a total of over
8,000, served by 15 post offices,”
one of the petitions which patrons
are signing now, states.
“It will enable most of us to
mall and to receive- mall from
down state in North Carolina a
day earlier than Is the case now
and also, to receive our county
paper earlier arid daily papers the
same day they are published,” it
is explained.
“According to the present sche
dule, the above-named star route
arrives In West Jefferson at 10
a. M. and leaves there at 12:45,
returning to Jefferson and North
Wllkesboro. During the 2:45
waiting period, we are informed
the carrier does not do anything
in connection with the mails. We
believe he could go to Lansing
and return to West Jefferson
without having to change the
present, existing schedule,” the
petition continue.^.

would be benefitted include:

Leaders Agree Not to Place Further
Taxes On 1940 Incomes; Is Welcomed
Washington.—Senator Harri
son (D), JMlss., announced last
night after a White House con
ference that President Roosevelt
and congressional tax leaders had
agreed there would be no further
retroactive taxes on 1940 in
comes. This, he said, applies both
to corporations and individuals.
Harrison, chairman of the Sen
ate finance committee, said that
consideration of new tax legisla
tion affecting 1941 Income would
begin in January.
Representative Cooper (D),i
Tenn., another of the conferees, I
added that it was “a good guess” j
that nothing definite would be ,
done on iaxes until after a re
capitulation of receipts on March
15. the date when individual in
come tax returns are filed and
first in.slallments come due.
Harrison asserted that one of
the questions to be studied early
next year is the overlapping of
levies imposed by the federal gov
ernment and those imposed by
the states
