- I . t -- TIME UP ON INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR 1923 * Must Mike Returns as Formerly and Wait for Reduction Which is UkeJy to Com in Form ot Omitted Payment of a Utter installment. Taxpayers Delayed Making Returns in Hope of Redactions So Now Are in Wild Scrambte To Get Unde* March 15 Wke. , By ROBERT FULLER Washington, March 8.?Another in come tax return day is at hand. March 15, a week from Saturday, is the day. Perhaps not since the in come tax law became effective has there been as wide and general delay in making returns as this year. The cause of this was, of course, the expectations of the taxpayers that congress would have before this time passed a measure allowing a reduc tion on 1928 incomes. However, the fight in congress in attempting to re vise the Mellon plan so gummed up the works that the situation is as yet unchanged, although it is generally accepted that a joint resolution cov ering a reduction of 1928 incomes will be passed before June . 15. Legisla tion effecting 1924 incomes will like ly be postponed until the fall season. ORGANIZE FARMVILLE CLUB AT FLORA MACDONALD. F. M. C., Red Springs, Mar. 3rd. Dear Farrnvflliana:?
