MUST
GIVE INFORMATION

c. A. Rasmussen, collector of In
ternal Revenue for the District of
Montana, calls the attention of all
employers to their obligation, under
the law, to file with the Commission
er Of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton on or before March Is. informa-
ton returns. These returns are pre-
pared on Forms 1899 and 1896 and
must be filed by every individual,
firm, corporation, partnership re
ceiver, trustee, executor, administra-
tor, and employer, who, during the
year 1928, paid out salaries, commits
siOns, rent, royalties or other fixed
and determinable gains in amounts of
$1,000 or more to any one individual.
! These information returns are en-
tirelv distinct from income tax re-
turns, and must be filed even though
he employer is not liable for the
filing of a return within the meaning
Of the regulations.
NO EXTENSION OF TIME CAN
BE GRANTED by the Collector for
the filing of information returns.
The Collector earnestly desires your
cooperation in reporting those en-
plOyees and other persons receiving
from you amounts Of $1,000 or more.
1t will be appreciated if you will
present to your employees the neces-
sity of filing income tax returns. A
return is required from a single per-
son receiving 81 900 or over per year
and from married individuals receiv-
ing $4,000 or over per year, 1t is
necessary that the return be filed re-
gardless of the fact that allowable
deductions may indicate no. tax due
The erroneous impression is preva-
lent that where no tax is due the in
dividual is relieved from filing a re.
turn, but this is not in accordance
with the law. AS an illustration, a
married man has $500 exemption as
head of family and $4OO for each de-
pendent. A married man with two
children would therefore be entitled
to an exemption of $1,000, but if The
total income is $4,000 or ever a re-
turn must be filed.
The Collector will appreciate voul
cooperation. THE GOVERNMENT
DESIRES TO AVOID ALL PENAL
TIES, as far as possible for failure
t to file returns.

MELLON AND new
ORDER POST OFFICE
TO QUIT COMPETING
WITH N. W. BANKS

Washington, Jan. 31.-The govern
ment by stopping the sale of its
treasury saving certificates in II
western and middle western states,
today stepped aside SO that available
funds in these states hereafter may
be applied to the relief of agriculture
and banks in he stringent credit
area.
Sale of the savings certificates
through pOstoflices-the medium used
to reach the modest incestor-was or
dered stopped by Postmaster General
New. Secre airy Mellon agreed to the
action in the belief that it may prove
eff benefit in the districts where pro-
longed agricultural depression has
developed a stringent credit cOndi ion
among banks.
The suspension of sales, which eff
fectually removes the certificates
from the money market, applies to
North Dakota, South Dako a, Mime
sofa. Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas, Col
orado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico
Idaho, Arizona and Montana. 1t
supplements an order issued 10 days
ago by the postoffice department in
which pOstmas ers were instructed to
discontinue advertising the certiti-
Gates and soliciting their sale The
order does not, however, affect ac,
ceptance of deposits in the postal
savings system.

5. Resolved, that you exert your
selves toward legislating on the qCes-
ton of banking with the object in
view of bringing about a direct con-
nectiOn between the farmer and his
government in the business of grant

in susplying currency adequate to- the
needs of agriculture at harvest time

on farm products.

enact taxation laws that will destroy
the possibility of the rich to invest
in tax exempt securities and transfer
that burden from our shoulders tC

That you do all in yoCr power to re-
duce the present tax burden.

And so she continued her vengeful
lust
By calling her gophers, her mould
and rust,
And she's hurting her wrath at the
farmers yet,
Why don't they call "Kamrad," Mr..

They beat Us down and raised no fuss
Old Nature fought our fight for US,
And she's won the battle that much
is plain
With her rust and gophers, her hail
and rain.
And her shriveling drought. she has
won indeed
She went in for blood and she's made
them bleed.
And she's going right on with her
vengeful hate,
Till the farmers agree to evacuate-
And gives US our prairies for graz
ing land
Fer surely by this time they under
stand
That these broad old pla,eaus and
valleys deep
Were made to accommodate cattle
and sheep.
Go tell them, I've Sweat, that if they
call a truce
And put OR dear land to its proper
use
They may yet see their native Min
nesOta
Or that fondly remembered North
Dakota
They've had their fill by now, I'll bet.

We're dealt with by the student coun-
cll Of the High School, Tuesday.
The Outlook High School gave
Leap Year Dance at StiVer's Hall,
February 20, which was well attend
ed and a success in every way. The
evening began with a very hotly con-
tested basketball game between Out
look and Daleview, resulting in a
score of as to 80 in our favor. AT
ter the game dancing began and con
tlnued until 1890 when a lap supper
was served by the high school boys
when dancing was again resumed un-
TIL the wee sma' hours of the morn
ing The high school is very crate
tul to those who SO kindly attended
this function, the proceeds of which
will go to the benefit of cur school.
AS the girls have an opportunity
only every four years to give a
! Leap Year dance they are somewhat
out of practice and are very much
pleased that they could show the men
J that they are still capable of enter
tanning them, successfully.
The attendance is practically back
to normal again after a long siege of
sickness.
The High School Athletic Associa-
ton closed the basket ball season by
defeating Daleview in a game which
at first was slow but later developed
into a fast game.
The Latin Glass have been busy
translating stories about Hercules and
have decided that hes was some
