CAPITAL STOCK TAX RETURNS DUE July 31 is the last day for filing returns of the capital stock tax. To avoid penalty, the returns must be in the hands of collectors of internal revenue on or before midnight of that date. Blank forms are available at the office of Collector of Internal Revenue J. W. Bailey, Raleigh. N. C. Form 707 is required for domestic, and 708 for foreign corporations. The capital special excise stock tax is a tax imposed on with respect to corporations "carrying on or doing business". The tax on domestic corporations is $1 for each f 1,000 or so much of the fair average value of its capital stock for the preceding year ending June 30 c is in ex cess of $5,000. Foreign corpor ations are required to pay a tax at the rat6 of $1 for each $1,000 of their capital employed in the transaction of business in the United States without the bene fit of the $5,000 deduction. The tax is payable in advance, re turns filed in July of this year covering the taxable year begin ning July 1, 1921 and ending, June 30, 1022. . The Bureau of Internal Reve nue estimates that approximately 325,000 such returns will be filed and that the amount of revenue collected from this source will be approximately $90,000,000. Returns are required from every domestic corporation re gardless of the par value of its capital stock, and of every for eign corporation irrespective of the amount of capital employed in this country in the transaction of its business. Certain corpor ations not organized for profit are exempt from capital stock tax. The class of organizations entitled to the exemption is de scribed in regulations 50, revised copies of which may be obtained at the office of Collector J. W. Bailey, Raleigh N. C. Corporations claiming exemp tion are required to file returns setting forth their reasons for such claims, accompanied by evidence in support thereof. If, because of lack of complete data or other reasons than illness or absence, it is imposssble to file a complete return on or be fore July 31, a tentative return may be filed, reporting the ap proximate fair value in order that an initial assessment may be made, thus avoiding penalty. The penalty for failure to file a return within the time pre scribed is an added assessment of 25 per cent of the amount due, unless it is shown that the failure was dua'to reasonable cause and not to neglect. In addition to the added aa essment a fine of not more than 5(1,000 is provided ifor failure to 'ROSEMARY PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS Miss Bettie Cooper returned Sunday from an extended trip to Moorehead City.

Harvey, for many years Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and later Treasurer of Halifax County, died suddenly Sunday afternoon at his home in Littleton from heart attack. Mr. Harvey was well known and universally liked throughout the county and his sudden death comes as a great shock to his many friends. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church on Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. R. Miller, assisted by Rev. Francis D. Joyner, rector of the Episcopal Church at Littleton. Interment took place in the Lit tleton Cemetery and was attend ed by a large crowd of relatives and friends. While serving as Chairman of the Board of County Com missioners Mr. Harvey was ap pointed County Treasurer fol lowing the death of Mr. J. E. Bowers, of Scotland Neck, sever al years ago. He was re-elected Treasurer at the last election and served in this capacity to the date of his death. Mr. Harvey leaves a wile and four children: Mrs. T. W. Call,. Mrs. Willis Price, Frank W. Harvey, of Littleton and Willis Harvey, of Enfield, N, C, FARMERS! DEMAND THE TAG! I The revised North Carolina State Seed ' Law requires that ten pounds or more sold to the farmers of North Carolina for seeding purposes shall have at tached to it a tag showing the per cent of germination, the per cent of purity, the date germina tion'was made, and where the seed were grown. The majority of the seed dealers in the state have expressed a willingness to comply strictly with this law in so far as it shall be possible to do so. Some few, however, have decided that the farmer is not entitled to this information and have expressed an unwillingness to comply with the law. We are, therefore, urging the farmers of the state to refuse to accept from any seed dealer in North Carolina or from any seed dealer outside the State, any package of seed weighing ten ponnds or more that does not have a tag attached to it showing the analysis of the seed. It costs the dealer practical ly nothing to place this tag on the package, and the farmer is certainlyentitled toknow whether the seed he is purchasing is like ly to come up and produce a crop, and we are sure that every honest and conscientious seedsmen will be only too willing to furnish this tag to each purchaser of tn pounds of seed or more. make a return on time. For wilful refusal to make a return, wilful evasion of the tax, wilful refusal to supply information re quested by the Commissioner, or attempting in any way to evade the tax and payment when due, the penalty is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprison ment for not more than one year, or both. With a view to the prompt collection of the capital stock tax, and for the convenience of the tax payer as well as the Government, the Bureau suggests that corporations submit cheeks with the returns for the amount of tax due. This method is ap pealing to corporations as it les sens liability to penalty. . V A
