It goes to the State De-; partment to await ratification by 36! BStates within seven years. - The resolution provides for two in- determinate sessions of Congress to be- @in on January 3 each year. It was over the second unlimited session that the Senate and House disputed for mearly a decade. en the House was in Republican control, it insisted upon a four-month term for the second session. Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, refused to accept this on the ground it would rmit the killing of legislation by fili- tering. Differences Composed. Under Democratic leadership, the use approved two indeterminate ses- aions. Other minor differences were composed by Senate and House con- ferees Saturday. As finally approved the measure per- mits a new Congress to take over re- #ponsibility for legislating two months after the biennial November elections | instead of 13 months.

The period for filing income tax re- turns begins January 1 and ends at midnight of March 15. Within th period are filed annually millions of | individual income tax returns, a large | proportion of which report income subject to the tax. The latter contain & considerable percentage of error: which if uncorrected Tesult to the disadvantage of the tax- paver. Many are errors of computa- tion easily discovered on the face of the return, which usually is accom- panied by a payment of more than the amount of tax due. In other re- turns it is readily discernible that the taxpayer has failed to take advantage of the personal exemption, credit al-| lowed for dependents, credit for earned | income, or deductions from gross in- came to which he is entitled. Examination of the returns shows that many of the mistakes are made in connection with the earned income credit, a statutory provision which re- duces’ by 25 per cent the amount of tax that otherwise would be due. Sur- rising as it may seem, many taxpayers aving a net income in excess of $10.- 000, which is subject to the surtax, apply the maximum surtax rate rather than the graduated rates to the several income tax brackets.

By the Associated Press HELSINGFORS, Finland, March 1.— Withdrawals from banks and cou erable difficulty in securing foreign currency were among the most notable results today of the Fascist revolt, which led to an_encounter with gov. ernment troops 25 miles from Helsing- fors yesterday. Maneuvers by the government to round up the Fascist leaders failed be- fore dawn today, however, when the latter slipped out of the net which had been lald for them. About 3 am. & company of soldiers surrounded a house at Hameenlinna, where the leaders were known to have been, and the house was searched, but the men were gone. Drastic Steps Taken. Government spokesmen said the process of surrounding Mantsala, where E the revolt began, was continuing and | that the arrest of all the revoiters there | was expected during the day. In Hel- singfors everything was quiet The Fascist bands, congregating threateningly in the vicinity of the capital, served a demand on President Pehr Edwin Svinhufyud to oust Com- munists and Socialist members from the cabinet or suffer the consequences of civil war. The President replied by decreeing a new safety law giving him- self extreme military powers to meet | the_rebellion. The decree permitted suppression of newspapers found guilty of agitation, dissolving of all demonstrations, search of homes, examination of all persons out of doors and hindrance of armed individuals moving from place to place, with other steps considered necessary to preserve order. The government decided to arrest all leaders of the Lapua (Fascist) party, informed quarters said. Two of the leaders were identified as Vihtori Ko- sola and Gen. Wallenius. The arrests were expected to be made tomorrow. “The situation is considerably better than it was'" Gen. Malmberg, chief of the Civil Guard, sald. Move Held Failure, It was sald in official quarters that the whole Lapua movement was “prov- ing a flasco,” the Lapua orders having been obeyed only in Southern Finland. Reports from Mantsala, center of the movement, said many Lapuans were re- turning home and that there were only a few fresh arrivals. The Civil Guards, as to ose loy- alty there had been doubts, were said officially to be standing firmly by the | government.

Wade Ball, former county treasurer. ‘The success in getting the pay roll | out on time called for a series of ex- | traordinary sessions of county offizials and the co-operation of two Alexandria banks, which advanced the money. | With all of the necessary preliminaries out of the way, the County Board, in | special sessfon at 8:30 o'clock th's morn- ing, signed the pay roll—the final act | eontingent upon placing into eircula- tion approximately $105,000 of the | $140,000 loan.

AGRICULTURF TO GET NEW $25,000,000 FUND More' Money Made Available by Reconstruction Cor- poration. By the Associated Press. The Agriculture Department will re« ceive $25,000,000 more from the Recone struction _ Finance ration by June 1. This is in addition to the $50,« 000,000 given the department for crop loans under the Finance Corpora act. The new funds will come from the sals of $250,000,000 in debentures to be issued by the Finance cwonum, the department being entitled to 10 per cent of all securities issued by the ree habilitation agency. Some doubt arose as to how much money the department would receive from the Finance Corporation’s issue of securities. The Attorney General now has informed Secretary Hyde that, since it received $50,000,000 of the $500,000,000 capital stock of the corporation, the department is entitled to 10 per cent of the additional securities which corporation may issue. The reconstruction agency s author- ized to issue debentures amounting to $1,500,000,000 and of this—if the full amount were issued—the department would receive $150,000,000. NEW RAIL LOAN 0. K.'D I.
