Y. Fauntleroy, in a bulletin issued Sunday, announced that it is necessary to get the initial income tax payment in by March 15, and that no general extension of time beyond that date will be granted for filing returns.The bulletin, based on a letter received from Commissioner Roper of the Internal Revenue Department, states:“It is necessary to get the initial tax payments in by March 15, says Commissioner Roper. “No other course is possible. Some months ago the treasury issued certificates of indebtedness to an amount approximating $800,000,000 maturing March 15. The first payment of the income and excess profits taxes for 1918 was planned for that date to meet this huge obligation.“The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by co-operation. This present situation is another emergency which can bo overcome by co-operative effort. The bureau extends its every force toward this end, and I am relying upon the people to meet the situation wholeheartedly.“The Internal Revenue Bureau must carry out the program prescribed in the new law, which requires all returns for 1918 to be filed on or before March 15, 1919, and requires quarterly payment or the entire payment tc be made on or before that date.Every taxpayer who can possibly do so is urged to make ful payment of his income tax on or before March 15. The quarterly payment method is intended for taxpayers whose financing of the tax at one time would tend to upset local financial conditions.“The approval of the report of the conferees by the senate and house of representatives brings the new revenue bill to the point where it may be assumed to be w. The Internal Revenue Bureau has been making preparations to collect the taxes which it provides, and is now putting all of its efforts into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the obligations imposed.“The bureau has arranged to send an advisory force of several thousands of deputies and agents to assist taxpayers. These officers will be stationed at convenient points where they may be consulted without charge. Taxpayers should take the initiative and get in touch'with these revenue men for any needed advice and assistance in preparing returns.“The forms for the tax returns are being printed and all forms will be in the hands of collectors between Feb. 15 and March 1.”“I hereby certify that at a meeting of the Republican National Committee held at Chicago, 111., on the 10th day of January 1919, the committee took up the matter of who was to be recognized as the Republican national committeeman from Louisiana, and which was to be regarded as- the Republican State Committee of that State. The national committee, by unanimous vote, decided that the national committeeman from Louisiana was Emile Kuntz, of New Orleans, and that the official Republican State Committee of Louisiana was the one of wnich Dr. D. A. Lines was chairman and Walter L. Cohen, of New Orleans, was secretary.»»The Lily Whites Politically Turn their Toes to the Daisies.The final chapter to the Lily White Republicans as a party, was written on Feb. 4, when Walter Cohen filed with Secretary of State Bailey a certificate from J. B. Reynolds, secretary of the Republican National Com-nittee, certifying that Emile Kuntz was the national commit-;eeman, and Dr. D. A. Lines was chairman, and Walter L. Cohen was secretary of the Republican State Committee of Louisiana.Cohen went to Baton Rouge and filed the certificate with the Secretary of State. Mr. Reynolds also sent to Mr. Bailey a copy of the agreement that had been entered into between the two factions. When asked as to whether the Old Line Republicans would take in any of the Lily Whites, Cohen said:“We will welcome all Republicans, but we certainly won’t permit a lot of office seekers to register as Democrats and participate in a Democratic primary, and after being defeated to then come into the Republican party and in the event of the election of a Republican president to try and gobble up all the federal offices.The following is the certificate filed with Secretary Bailey;Home Burial for Sailors and Marines.Washington, Feb. 9—Plans for bringing home the bodies of all officers, sailors and marines, now buried on foreign soil, are being worked out by the navy department and the actual work will be undertaken within the next few months. The wishes of relatives, however, w\ll govern no only as to the return of the bodies, but also as to their final disposition. Those brought home either will be sent forward for private internment or buried in the Arlington or some other national cemetery as the relatives may decide.The department’s announcement expressed preference for bringing home all bodies. It pointed out that as a result of the careful preparation made at the outbreak of the war it had peen possible to return the bodies of hundreds who died overseas. In the case of marines and naval detachments serving with the army, however, this was not possible and instead careful system of permanent marking of graves was maintained. If the nearest of kin of any of the men who gave their lives for their country desire, the dead will be left to rest in France, probably in special purchased American cemetery sites where perpertual care and recognition will be assured.The department’s statement said that where bodies were brought home for burial in national cemeteries, full military honors would be given, and the government would pay expenses up to delivery of the casket to relatives and that the War Risk Insurance Bureau of the treasury would refund actual burial expenses not exceeding $100 in cash in each case upon presentation of the claims.Relatives the dead of the navy and naval reserve were requested to write the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery as to their wishes and the relatives of the iead of the Marine Corps were invited to communicate with the commandant of the corps.anof;n12aFeflt;os*o:Ptisie•irnstftLcitvAmerCltrthwPCticdiallin,pa!ifstiI.IVaenallbyTwo Timely Tip*.Iodine stains may he removed from bureau scarfs, towels, etc., by using peroxide.
