WASHINGTON MEET TO BE BIG- FACTOR WASHINGTON. Jan. 4 White the conference has momentarily subsided into that necessary rou tine preceding the next plenary session the attention both of tho, foreign and of the r American rep resentatives has turned toward Cannes. It Is recognized that up on the issue of the debate there between tho prime ministers of France and Great Britain hangs the fate of any effort at general reconstruction .in the world at the present moment. If Great Britain and France find a basis of eo-oper- , a tion the pathway to re I peace will be clearer than at any moment since the armistice. If .conflict and not co-operation comes, the outlook, economic even more than political, wiH be bleak in the ex treme. . Tet among the foreigners here one hears on all sides words of caution, words against great ex pectations of any immediate solu tion. Anglo-French relations ate more aggravated now than they have been at any time since Fashoda, when there was actual talk of an Anglo-French war, but the bitterness on both sides of th channel has reached a high water mark. Events at the Washington con ference are likely to play ft con siderable part on the Riviera. Great Britain and France have fouL'ht a battle in the United State -Ctntlnurt .

KALTfilGrT, Jan. 4. Tax com missioner Walts and the new di vision deputies spent today In con ference, familiarizing themselves with the detail work in the col lection of the state incomo tax. Chief Deputy Thompson, of the Halrigh office, went over all phase; of the work with them and ex plained the department plans, for receiving income tax returns and tax payments. 'All of the appointees have seen service in the federal department of revenue, and, consequently, have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of their work. A more highly qualified organiza tion ot deputies could not have been gotten together, in the opin ion of persons familiar with tax work. Commissioner Watts is highly pleased with the selection and he is anticipating the carry ing on of the duties ot the depart ment without difficulty. Kaeh deputy will have in his di vision about 160,000 people, a far giea'.er number than the federal government apportions to one man. Owing to the experience of th men in the department, however, and the ' smoothly operating sys tem put into use by Commissioner Wattf, the deputies arc not ex pecting to be handicapped by the size of their districts. Deputy Heed, of the "Buncombe division, will have all of the counties wes'. of Asheville as a part of his terri tory. Tho state has already begun the collecting, of Income tax, sixty thousand returns having gone out New Year's night. Tax payers wlli have until March 15 to fill put their blanks and turn them over to the division deputy or the llnlciph office and, unlike the fed ofn-lcral system, a check for the amouiU of taxes, due roust accom pany the return. Tlx- state will gather Its income tax at. a much lower proportionate cost than the federal government. una. knows the tax game from A to Z and he has surrounded him self with men with years of ex perience in this work. He is economizing at every turn, and his ability for organizing and system ; hsing the department has already resulted !n a great saving to tho state.
