March 15 Final Day to Report On Income Tax Every person not exempt from filing personal income tax returns, both state and federal, is reminded that next Tuesday, March 15, is the final day on which returns may be filed without payment of penalty. Federal tax blanks may be received from federal officials, while state blanks have been mailed to individuals. While the state does not require the filing of a return by persons under 21 years of age, in cases where blanks have been mailed to such persons, state officials have asked that the recipients return the blanks with the notation uExempt on account of age." In such cases no filing fee is required. All others should file their re-~ turns immediately and avoid the last minute rush.

HICAGO and the M!ddle West have a. doubl& interest 1n the sue-cess of the gigantic Reconstruc-tion Finance Corpo-ration which is now being organized In Washington following speedy action by Congress. Charles G. Dawes, whose name is almost synonymous for the business community of Chicago will sit in the driver's seat as the active h&ad of the great $2,000,000,000 Federal corpora.tion just authorized by Congress. Another Chicago banker, a Democrat who is being repeatedly mentioned as a ma.n. of Presidential timber, has the distinction ot making a. vital contribU· tion to the initial strength and e.ucce;ss of the Reconstruct ion Corporation. That man is Melvin A. Traylor, prestdent of the First National Bank of Chicago, who waa the first to visualize C and propose that the R&COnstruct1on Corporatio-n xen-der s-ome service to thousands .af depositors of small banks which had failed during the past two years.

The poultry finance organizatio n offering the loan privileges is designed solely to prevent deterioratio n of Utah's poultry industry by providing producers with funds to replenish foundation flocks with baby chicks, it was stated by the organizers. Articles of corporation were filed with the secretary of state, after they bad been approved by officials of the Beryeley federal bank and authority had been received to lend federal funds to Beehive state poultry producers.

School board members of the Jordan district adjourned their Wednesday meeting without reaching a decision as to what steps will be taken to keep open the schools, since Tuesday's election turned down the proposed bond issue for $90,000 by more than a two-to-one vote. The board adjourned its meeting until Thursday at 4 o'clock, when it met with committees of teachers and taxpayers to deVise ways and means of keeping the schools open. It will probably take a few days to come to any definite conclusion as to how long the schools may remain open, according to Supt. D. C. Jensen. ;March 18 had been set as the probable date of closing while the bond issue was being discussed. Official tabulation of the vote by the board Wednesday gave the totals as 805 in favor of the bonds and 1707 against them. The complete returns by polling places and districts follows: District 309, Union, for 17, against 12; districts 807 and 308, Midvale schoolhouse , for 110, against 205; district 310, East Midvale, for 30, against 105; district 314, Butler school, for 23, against 32; districts 316 and 317, Sandy city hall, for 167, against 186; districts 318 and 319, Granite school, for 19, against 12; district 320, Crescent school, for 9, against 87; district 324, Riverton, for H, against 197; district 325, Bluffdale, for 20, against 52; district 326, Herriman, for 3, against 43; district 328, West Jordan, for 40, against 141; district 329, South Jordan, for 14, against 129; district 333, Copperton, for 41, against 15; district 334, Bingbam school, for 67, against 80; district 335, Bingham town hall, for 51, against 82; district 337, Highland Boy, for 28, against 17; district 338, Lark, for 21, against 27. financial in-s titutions a.nd others needing its aid.

BENEFITS TOLD In quoting from the following editorial which appeared recently in The Helper Journal, under the heading "Spending For The Future," The Journal is attempting to bring to the attention of its readers the advantage of home town advertising to them and to the community. It also desires to impress upon the citizens of the community which it serves the necessity of newspaper advertising if a newspaper is to continue in this community. The editorial referred to says, in part: "The spending of money, even under normal contitions should be done with a view toward securing the greatest possible return at all times. "Returns for the present alone should not be the focal point of view. One must look to future returns, long after the original investment has been forgotten. This is the policy pursued by successful business men the world over. "Money spent for advertising is a business investment, but there are many different ways of advertising. The Harvard re~earch bureau tells us that any kind at advertising is wortb while. but that some cost .more than others. This same source of informa· tion tells us that, dollar for dollar, newspaper advertising is the cheapest and best manner of presenting your merchandis e to the buying public. "There are many reasons for this: Your advertising is sent into the home via a welcome medium. Your home newspaper is not a handbill to clutter up front porches. It carries all of the home news and is eagerly read; it remains in the home usually until the next issue, and is referred to several times after its fiJ;'St reading. Your message is constantly before the housewife. "Your home newspaper is a business institution, paying substantial taxes and adding to the wealth of the community. It means more families, more buying power. Your home newspaper is not a makeshift business which may be loaded on a truck and hauled away overnight after having bled the community for many dollars which should have remained at home.
