NO EXTENSION
OF TIME GIVEN

That there will be no general ex-
tension of time beyond March 18th
for the filing of returns and for the
payment of Income and Excess Pro-
fits taxes due on that date, is the de-
cision Of Daniel G.. Roper, commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue. The an
nouncement was made today by Col
lector James Coffey Immediately fol-
lowing the approval by the senate and
house of the report of the conferees
on the new revenue bill.
"A financial emergency makes it
necessary to get the initial tax pay
ments in by March 15th,' says Com
missioner Roper. "No other course is
possible. Some months ago, in the
emergency of financing the war, the
treasury issued certificates of in
debtedness to an amount approximat-
ing SSO0,000, ,000 maturing March Is.
The first payment of the income and
excess profit taxes for 1918 was plan
ned for that date, to meet this huge
obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is, another
emergency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort The bureau ex-
tends it's every force toward this end,
and 4 am relying upon the people to
meet the situation hole-heartedly.
"Ihe internal revenue bureau must
carry out the program prescribed in
the new law, which requires all re-
turns for 1918 to be filed on or before
March 18th, 1919, and requires the
fret ono or+or1xr o-,T ,o optf
payment to be made on or before that
date
"Every taxpayer who can possibly
his income tax on or before March Is.
The quarterly payment method is in
tended for taxpayers whose financing
of the tax at one time would tend to
upset local financial conditions.
"The approval of the report of the
conferees by the senate and house of
representatives brings the new reve-
nue. bill to the point where it may be
said to be law. The internal revenue
bureau has been making preparations
to collect the taxes which it provides,
and is now putting all of it's efforts
into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the
obligations imposed.
"The bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thousand
deputies and agents to assist tax
payers. These officers will be sta
| toned at con venient points where
they may be consulted without charge.
Taxpayers should take the initiative
and get in touch with these rebenue
men for any needed advice and as
| sistance in preparing returns.
| "The forms for the tax returns are
being psilltad and all forms will be in
the hands Of collectors between Feb
ruary 18th and March l."

VALLEY CITY HIGH
TAKES ANOTHER

The Valley City High school basket
ball team won a signal victory from
the Bismarck quintet last night in
the Armory by score Of 10 to II. It
was very warmly contested game
all through and the capital city fel-
lows kept the locals on their toes all
the time. Assistant Attorney General
Ed Cox, one of the old time players
of this city, in the years gone by, was
coach for the Bismarck bunch and he
certainly has good team. The work
Of Captain Arthur Busdicker was
good and kept the visitors from scor-
ing on several occasions. Emil Glas-
ier, Of Fargo, refereed the game very
satisfactory. There was a good at
tendance. This evening the Valley
city team leaves over the 500 for
Enderlin where they will play the
team of that city.

BANK PRESIDENTS
ARE IN HARMONY

Newspaper editors would do well to
copy the friendly attitude of our local
bankers. One day last week, before
his election to the presidency of the
new bank which will take over the
American National, Mr.. William Olson
did very graceful thing when sever
ing his connection with the Bank of
Valley City, of which he has been a
director since the death of his former
associate n, P. Rasmussen in 1909,
being elected then to the vacancy by
the death of the latter. His letter Of
resignation, which is much appreciat-
ed by President Farley and his asso-
ciate directors, was as follows.
Mr.. Jas. J. Early, President,
Bank of Valley City.
Dear Mr.. Farley:
Having sold my stock, I hereby ten
der my resignation as director to take
effect at once. I do this with kindly
remembrances of my association with
yourself and all your other directors,
and you have my best wishes for your
future success and prosperity.
Yours very truly,
William Olson.
Although tney dl1fer IN pOllJlcal
opinions, and differ also in the wisdom
or practicability Of mixing banking
with politics, Messrs Farley and Oh
son, each now a bank president, have
always been and still are on the best
of friendly terms, and their relations
are cordial in every respect. Each
comedies TO the other his right of per-
sonal opinion in matters of politics as
well as in matters of business and
banking. This is as it should be, and
Mr.. Farley appreciates very much the
generous spirit displayed in Mr.. Oh
, sons letter.

CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
WILL NOT bE bEl,(1ARS

"After the war;" said a business
street and asks for help, how. can I
imposter? Of course I always want
to give something to the boys who
went over the top. Will they wear a
button to show that they've been sol
diers ?"
And his answer was. "Any man
who stops you and asks for aims is
beggar, whether he was in the war
or not. No buttons or insignia will
be necessary"
Our soldiers crippled in this war
are not going to sell lead pencils on
the street. They will not be objects
of pity or charity. Our government
has taken an advanced stand on that
subject, and asks US all to cooperate.
Instead Of doing out pension to a
soldier, we shall pay him compensa-
tion for his injury, just as big in
dustrial plant must do for it's work
men. We shall make the man over
physically, equip him with artificial
limbs if he needs them, train him for
the old job or a new one, find him a
place to work. 1t will take ambition
on the part Of the soldier, and courage
and perseverance, to start life over
again nthis way. But the cripple
who takes advantage of what our
country offers, will no longer be de-
pendent on anyone. He will be inde-
pendent, and self-respecting, and able
to earn more tha nbefore he went into
the army. The Red Cross Home Ser
vice can tell you Of the governments
plans, with which is cooperating
