Income TAXES
MUST r. PAID
Returns of Year 1917 M Be
Made Before March w.
First, 1918 :
TAX OFFICER TO ASSIST IN WORK
Deputy Will Be In Glasgow to Help
Persons Subject to Tax to Fill
Out Forms. Date Will
Be Announced.

In communication received by this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue
w. C. Whaley announces that fed
eral income tax officer will be sent
tiere within short time. The exact
date will be announced soon.
1918. He will have his office in the
court house in Glasgow, and will be
there every day ready and willing to
help persons subject to the income tax
make out their returns without any
cost to them for his services.
How many income-tax payers will
there be in Valley county? If you
can guess how many married persons
living with wife or husband will have
net incomes of $4,000 or over and how
many unmarried persons will have net
incomes of $1,000 or over this year,
then you know. The collector of in
ternal revenue estimates that there
will be 165 taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917,
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March /, 1918.
Because good many people don't
understand the law and won't know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending in this expert
to do it for them. But the duty is on
the taxpayer to make himself known
to the government. If he doesn't make
return as required before March /,
he may have to pay penalty rang
ing from 500 to 1000, pay fine or
go to Jail. So if you don't want to
take chances on going to Jail you bet
ter call on the income tax man. If
you are not sure about being subject
to the tax, better ask him Ind make
sure. Whether you see the income tax
man or not, you must make return if
subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man who will
be at the court house in Glasgow.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures when the expert arrives.
Expenses, however, don't mean family
expenses, money used to pay off the
principal Of debt, new machinery,
buildings, or anything like that. They
mean what you spend in making your
money, interest, taxes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock
bought for feeding, rent Except for
your dwelling,) etc. Income includes
about every dollar you get.

OVER TWO-THIRDS OF MILLION
LOANED TO FARMERS

Over two-thirds of million dollars
was loaned last year to Montana
farmers by the state land board, ac-
cording to figures compiled by c. A..
Whipple, state land agent. The loans
bear six per cent interest and run
from three to ten years.
The law did not take effect until
March 1917, and it was several months
later before farmers awakened to the
opportunity.

Former Governor West
Before Senate Committee

Washington, Feb. 1.-Selling lumber
to the government "is like taking candy
from a baby" these days, Former Gov
ernor West, of Oregon, told the senate
military committee today.
Some one with fuii authority should
be placed in the field to handle lumber
purchases, he advised, and should have
with him practical sawmfll and log
ging men who are not interested in gov
ernment contracts. Those fellows know
the lumber game and you here in Wash
ington do not"
The government today is getting only
20 per cent of the spruce needed to car
ry out its aircraft production program,
West declared. He added that while
IL 100000 feet of selected spruce was
needed monthly, only 1880 feet had
been secured altogether in the last six
months.
"Who has that business in charge
now9" asked Senator Hitchcock.
"'Only God knows, and he won't
tell" West replied. "I've spent a
month trying to find out. I've seen

was only a patriotic desire not to en-

FlNANCIER'S VIEW OF WAR
CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME

New York, Jan. 9l.-The war outlook
continues perplexing, and military oper-
ations are deadloeked by unfavorable
weather conditions. There is, however, a
growing belief that peace is not far
distant. This belief is seemingly based
upon the signs Of breakdown in Austria
and growing discomfort in Germany. At
this writing it is Hnpossible to form
any reliable conclusions; and the var
ious rumors should be accepted with re-
