''Take No Chances File a Return!' is
the slogan advocated by Charles A. Ras-
musson, Collector of Internal Revenue
for the District of Montana.
Mr. Rasmussen, in speaking recently,
made this statement
MY attention has been directed to a
number of articles appearing in various
newspapers and publications in this state
relative to the filing of income tax re-
turns for 1924 In many instances, these
articles are misleading and confusing
Authorized published statements are
sent out by the Bureau at Washington,
and they have been published by various
daily and weekly newspapers in this
state and are being run in numerical or
der These are authentic and taxpayers
may rely upon the information contained
therein.
Considerable confusion and uncertain
ty seems to have arisen among taxpayers
due to certain proposed amendments to
the present tax law now pending before
Congress. 1t is the apparent purpose OF
Congress to revise the tax downward. A
recent amendment which has the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the Treasury
would make this reduction retroactive,
and applicable to the returns filed this
year. The opinion seems to prevail with
many that by delaying their filing, they
would be relieved at once Of that portion
of their taxes allowed as reduction by
Congress. This idea is obviously erron-
eous. There is not the slightest likeli-
hood of the bill becoming a law prior to
the final day of filing, on March IS. Re-
funds, or credits, will be allowed subse
quently, by the Bureau at Washington.
"We are continually confronted by the
fact that a number of taxpayers seem
inely can not escape the conviction that
because their net earnings do not reach
$780, if they are married they do not
have to file return; or that if their net
income does not reach the amount which
they are allowed by their exemptions as
heads of families, they then conclude
that it is unnecessary for them to file a
return. This is erroneous Any single
person whose net income is $1,000 or
more must file q return, regardless OF
what his exemption may be. Any indiv-
idual who is married, and whose net in

Take No CHlances---File a Return

come is $1,000 or more, must file re-
turn, regardless of what his exemption
may be. Any individual whose gross
income, as defined by the regulations, is
in excess of Sc, 900, must also file a re-
turn.
There is further reason why individ-
walls who are not certain as to their in
come and as to their liability, should file
return if in doubt. Every corporation,
partnership, or individual employing
help is required under the law to furnish
to the Collector form known as num-
Der 1099 giving a list of their employees
and the salaries paid to them. 1t is often
found that these concerns have failed to
enumerate all of their employees, and it
then becomes necessary to call on the
individuals and make an investigation as
to the amount of salary received, or the
reason for failing to file return. Very
often these concerns neglect to give the
information as to whether or not their
employees are single or married. A
check-up is made against this list by the
Bureau when the returns for the current
year have been filed. In that case, a
married man whose salary was less than
$1,000, would be called upon to furnish
the needed information, to straighten
the matter out. Thus the individual is
put to an unnecessary loss of time and
expense in appearing before the Collect
or, or Deputy Collector, to answer these
questions. This causes irritation and
friction, for which the taxpayer can not
we'll be blamed. This could all have
been avoided had the taxpayer filed al
return.
The reasons set forth above indicate
to some extent why it is best, when a
taxpayer is not sure of his position, to
file return 1t costs the taxpayer
nothing; and year or two later may
save him considerable trouble, and, more
than likely. some expense. To avoid
filing return does not mean that tax
payer can avoid being checked up, or
called on for information, later.

SPRING SONG
(By CHARLES S. VINCENT, sr.. Kelvin J

(By CHARLES S. VINCENT, Sr. Kevn.)
Spring is coming swiftly coming,
Thirty days more till the rush.
Hotel men clean up your spare rooms,
Restaurant men stir up your muSh.
Merchants, dust your cans and boxes,
Water man, fix up your truck,
Those who roughed it through the winter
Now are courting Lady Luck.
Welding shop and all Garage men,
Busy with acetylene,
And the house wives with their dust mops
Making things all fresh and clean.
Lumber men are busy pilng
Rig timbers both great and small
From the way oil men are talking,
They are sure to need them all.
Butchers, bakers and the barber
Can be seen with scales and knife
Weighing, cutting, trimming, scraping,
Each with new lease on life.
The Montana Giant people
Are laying pipe early and late,
And our city press reporter
Seeking news that up-tO-date
The gas man can BE- seen daily
Inspecting every foot of line
People swear by gas for heating
And I'll tell a man it's fine.
The Commercial Club is busy
Making plans our town to light,
Then KEVIN, the big OIL CENTER
Can be seen for miles at night.
Smooth away those frowns of winter,
Replace them with smile,
When our street lights get to burning
They can see your face for miles.

TWO VIEWS OF STATE
CONTROL OF UTILITIES

This article deals with the state
control of public utilities, and an at
firmative and negative argument is
submitted on the following points;
Should municipality owned pub
lie utilities be subject to the regula-
ton of the board of public works?
2-If municipality owned public
utilities be not subject to the regu-
lation of the boards of public works,
should they make annual reports to
the board?
3-ShOuld municipality owned pub
lie utilities pay local, county, state
or federal taxes on substantially the
same basis as privately owned public
utilities.
Affirmative Argument
Regulation of public service com.
panies originated with the creation
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the regulation of railways
and was brought about principally
by charges of Observation-Disclosures
some shippers were beeing given a
favored rate in the transportation of
like commodities as against their
competitors. This regulation now APP
plies to practically all public utilities.
The service they furnish, such as
transportation, light, power, gas and
telephone communication, has become
almost a necessity. Generally, this

service is furnished by only one
company in a given district. The
people believed that since they were
practically compelled to buy this
service from the only source avail
able that there should be a state reg
ulatory body standing between the
companies and their customers which
would protect the public both as to
the service furnished and the rates
to be charged. That these rates
should be sufficient to pay a reason
able rate Of return upon the money
actually invested to make the serv-
ice possible, but that the company
should not be permitted to charge a
rate in excess of this merely because
its customers needed the service.
The argument is advanced that mu.
nicipal plants are regulated by the
city councils elected by the people
and that state regulation is not need
ed. The fact remains that discrimi-
nation does exist between the GUS
toners of municipal plants and that
politics does enter into their man.
agement and operation. Favored
customers are still given special rates
and extensions of service are govern
ed, not only by the needs of the dis
trict, but by political expediency.

 1 The fight started fast with both men coming out of their corners with both fists going. The first round was about even. In the second round shugrue earned the honors with his left, slipping in and pummeling Par ker's body and getting out without taking a return. The third round Parker caught Shugrue coming in and jolted his head with hard right, which he followed with series of lefts and rights to tho body. Parker earned. this round. The fourth round both fighters fought hard with a great deal of body punishment being meted out. In the closing seconds of the round Parker whipped a hard right 10 Shugrue's face and followed it with a series of rights and lcfts which earned him tho honors of the round. The fifth and sixth rounds were com paratively even with both men put ting mp a good fight. With the start of the seventh round Shugrue speeded I'D and rushed Parker around the i ring. The Waterbury lad also earned | the rights to the eight round due to lis fast moving left with which he brushed Parker's face almost at will, n by good margin, as Shugrne. in at tempting to take the aggressive, be- came little careless and ran into stiff rights and lefts when he httempt- , ed 10 penetrate Parker's guard, Snug rue resumed his activities in the 1 lth round and took this round by a mar gin, using his left to good advantage.

Using all his strength and boxing skill the Waterbury lad gave Parker a boxing lesson which left no doubt in the Boston lads mind but that he was taking a real scientific beating. Tho decision. although close, was the c'eancut variety and there were no dissenting voices when Ref cree Gionnon raised Shugrue's hand at the end Of the fight.
 The best preliminary fight of the night was between Georgie Gibbons Of Waterbury and Frankie O'lrien of Hartford.

Philadelphia, May S.-Carl Fischer intercollegiate tennis champion. lasi night resigned from the American Olympic and Davis. cup squads as a result of the recent player-writer rule of the United States Lawn Tennis as- sociation. His action follows closely that of William T. Tilden, End, na- tional champion, who resigned from the two squads for the same reason. MT. Fischer rendered his resigna- ton in the following letter addressed to Julian s. Myrick. of New York, chairman of the Davis cub commit- tee:
 T herewith tender my resignation from the Olympic and Davis cup squads. After having given most careful consideration to the report of the chairman of the amateur rule committee and the recent actions of the officials and Davis cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis ss- sociation, l am so out of sympathy with the player-writer interpretation of the governing body that I see no other course of action open to me. l cannot agree with the conclusions reached in Mir. Wards report nor the premise on which he bases them.
 T am convinced that ] am not ,io. lating the recognized standards of amateurism. However, if my status on the first of January, 1925, cun- tinues the same as it now is the re- port of the amateur rule committee stated that l will be violating article two, section five of the amateur rule. Therefore. in the eeys of the anna 'teur rule committee l must be yiolat- ing that clause now.
