Discussion in Congress of a pro- Posed joint resolution to obtain an tmmediate reduction of 25 per cent in the tax on individual incomes for the calendar year 1923 should not influ- ence income taxpayers to delay be- yond March 15 in making returns on their income for last year, the bureau of internal revenue declared last night. Enactment of the proposed legisla- tion will only mean, in the case of taxpayers who pay on the installment plan, a crediting of their accounts in the offices of the collector of internal revenue with one-fourth the amount due on the faco of the return. In those cases whero the tax is pald in full, the 25 per cent excess will be re- funded promptly without filing of a claim, - - Residents of Washington will be of- fered every facility in the preparation and filing of their returns up to the cloging hour, at midnight on March 15. Ten additional revenue officers have been assigned to the office of the deputy collector for_the District of Columbia ut 1422 Pennsylvania avenue. RBeginning tomorrow two revenue officers will be stationed at the 15th street entrance to the Treasury building, to aid the public and em- ployes alike. Begin Service Wednesday. Service will begin Wednesday at the following banks: Riggs National, N: tional Metropolitan, Federal-Ame ican, Munsey Trust, Merchant Bank- ing and Trust Company, Union Trust and District National. The govern- ment service, which includes admin- istration of the oath, is without cost to_the public. Returns sent to Baltimore should be accompanied by at least one-fourth of the amount due. Check or money order should be made to the order of “Collector of Internal Revenue,” while If the return is filed in the District of Columbia, payment must be made at the office of the local deputy collector. The revenuo act of 1921, under which tax on income for 1923 is being col- lected, provides for failure to file a return on time a penalty of $1,000 and a further penalty of 25 per ‘cent of the amount of the tax uniess the re- turn is later filed and it is satisfac- torily shown to the collector that the delinquency was due to a “reasonable cause” and not to willful neglect. = Printing by marble blocks began among the Chinese about 950 A. D. COVERS NEWS ALL OVER WORLD How the news of the world 1s gath- ered and distributed, making it possi- ble for Americans to keep themselves tully iInformed every day of happen- ings in the farthermost parts of the earth, was told recently in a radio ad- dress broadcoast by L. C. Pobert, superintendent of the Washington bureau of the Associated Pross. Mr. Probert said, in part: “It is a privilege for me to tell you something about the Associated Press and how it keeps you informed of what goes on in the world, because many of you are not conscious of the important part it takes in your dally lives. News Today Is History Tomerrow. “Many of yQu have laid down your evening papers while you turn to the radio entertainment, with its won- ders, its mystery and its fascination, and those white pages which lie in your lap at this moment typify a wonder no leas fascinating. They were onco towering giants in the north woods before they were con- verted into paper, and siiently up and down their columns they bring you a Story ‘of adventure and romance. laughter and tragedy. success and fallure—the daily story of human na- ture wherever it is—the history of| the world day by day. the same his-{ tory which will be read in the school | books by the coming generations. “If you look closely at some of those dispatches in your newspaper you will see that they bear tho legend ‘By the Associated Press.’ And you ask, What is this Associated Press which has eyes and ears over the seven seas and in the four corners of the earth? What is this ted Press, which knows first about the crumbling of empires, the deaths of popes and presidents, the rise and fall of governments and the affairs of the world wherever they may be going on? Cites Questions That Arise. “You ask: Is it a great corporation which publishes a large number of newspapers? Is it a mouthpiece for any government, or is it a business concern which gathers and distributes the world's news as a business proposition to make profits for stockholders? “It is none of those. Some wise man once said: ‘Give the American people the facts on any question and they will make the right decision.’ With those words, whoever he was, ho disclosed the function of the Associated Press. For its sole function, and none other, is to give the American people—and the people of the world—the facts about every subject of public interest; to write the history of the worid as it is being made day by day, and to do this without bias as to politics, religion or personal interest.™ When Minutes ~Are Precious That's W Supt. Probert of Washington Bureau, Describes For- mation and Operation—Met Need for Truthful Presentation of Facts. Recounting the history of news distribution from the handbill day: of Rome, and the developments thal have contributed to its speedy dis. patch, Mr. Probert came down to the formation of the organization he represents. Great Mutual Asseciation. “A. great mutual assoclation of newspapers was formed and it was called the Assoclated Press,” he said. “Into that association newspapers were received into full membership, with equal voice in its management, without regard to whether they were republican or democrat, Catholic or Protestant, Gentile or Jew. And each one pledged to the others that it would supply to them the dally his- tory of the évents of the world In its own locality—no editorial opinions, bear in mind—no propaganda for this, that or the other—just the plain facts of what happens. In addition to that, they bound themselves to gather in con-operation and in common with one another. the news of the world be- yond the seas and to distribute among themselves all of this at exactly the cost of doing it Examples of Co-Operation. “And thus, the Associated Press stands today the greatest example of successful co-operative effort in the world anywhere, having no capital stock, seeking no profits, paying no dividends, controlled by no men or set of men, but ruled by the public demand for honesty, decency and fair dealing. 1 do not need to enlarge upon the subject to demonstratc how impossible it would be for the As- sociated Press to be the instrument of any one political party, when its members, who are its masters, are from all political parties: how im- possible it would be for it to be under the influence of any church, when its members, who are its masters, are widely scattered among all churches. It is like the Constitution of the United States—provided with a sys- tem of checks and balances. And it is obvious that no set of interests, no political | faith, "no _religious could ever sway it, while it races all within 16 i Serves 1,200 Papers. “The little country paper snowed in the fastness of the north woods is as well informed as the great metropoli- tan journal close by the ocean.
