As each year the federal fund increases more than $130,000,000, it is thought that all Georgia projects will be aid ed either this year or next.” County Commissioner J. O. Gaston is very much interested in securing part of the federal funds for use on Butts county’s roads, and has worked tirelessly to secure favorable consid eration from the State Highway Com mission.

The aid of all good citizens is invoked in bringing to justice the man who de liberately seeks to evade his just share of the war burden.” This was the statement today of In ternal Revenue Commissioner Daniel C. Roper. With only ten day left in which to file income tax returns, he practically completed the organiza tion of a huge dragnet for bringing into camp all persons who fail to file their returns by April 1. Revenue of ficers in every section of the country are checking up returns with a view to beginning prosecutions against tax dodgers. The word has gone forth that such offenders need expect no leniency. “Through its educational campaign the Bureau of Internal Revenue has endeavored to cover the field so thor oughly that ignorance of the law can not be consistently offered as an ex- cuse” said Commissioner Roper to day. “The press, the four minute men, the State and County Councils of National Defense, the field force of the Department of Agriculture and other government departments, banks, post offices and hundreds of volun teer agencies have co-operated in bringing home to the tax payer his duty. “The man who failed to register under the selective service act was regarded by the War Deparment as a slacker and prosecuted as such. The man who fails to file his income tax will be regarded as a “money slacker,” and when discovered, as he will be, will be made to suffer full penalties of the law. “To the credit of the nation it may be said that I have gratifying and conclusive evidence that these in come taxes will be paid by the great majority of the American people cheerfully and willingly. But the du ty of the honest man does not end with the payment of his own tax. I call upon him to aid in bringing into camp the tax dodger. A man so nig gardly as to seek to evade what his represnetative in Congress declared to be his just share of a tax im posed for the support of our arms is deserving of no consideration and will receive none. “Congress has distributed this tax justly and equitably. The rate is fix ed so that the rich man and the man of moderate means are assessed, each according to his income. No man can offer the excuse that his neighbor es capes what he has to pay. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all good citizens to aid in carrying out the intent and ■kpirit of the law, which is that the burden of the war tax be evenly dis tributed and every man compelled to pay his just quota.” I “IT SURE DOES THE WORK” Mrs. W. H. Thornton, 3523 W. 10th St., Little Rock, Ark., writes: “My lit tle boy had a severe attack of croup and I honestly believe he would have died if it had not been for Foley’s Honey and Tar.
