From the Judith Basin County Pres.

that former State Senator B. C. Whifx
known as the @old Roman" Of Non.
tana democracy, has announced his IN
tention Of running for representative
in the next Legislature.
When the new county OF judith
Basin was created from Fergus coun-
ty, Senator White was slid over into
the new county along with his ranch,
so he finished out his term as Sena-
tor from Fergus and ran for Senator
against John L. Mears, who beat him
by few votes. Mears is a holdovsrr
for the coming legislature, so B. @.
has decided to try for the lower
house. in which body he served term
or two as representative from Fergus
before he was elected Senator.
AS usual he makes it plain just
where he stands. He is for lower
taxes. for which he has always bat

Second MSt0lInent Income
Tar VII Be Due June 18th

There viii, no doubt, be many individ-
naIs who will desire 10 settle their tax
accounts in full now that the rs psr
cent reduction is an accomplished
fact The amount due in any instance
where a taxpayer desires to pay ia
full viii be the total amount Of tax
shown at the time Of filing the return,
leas rs per cent and less the amount
paid at the time Of filing the same.
The Collector Of Internal Revenue
states that such action would be Ad-
vantageous from the Governments
viawpoint as 1t would eliminate con-
sid&Hable bookkeeping.
In view Of the fact that the tax mo-
tees were prepared prior to the enact
ment Of the new law, taxpayer who
paid three fourths Of the tax on filing
his return may receive a notice from
the Collector advising Of the amount
assessed, amount paid, and the re-
naming balance, but in cases Of this
nature, no further payment is due.
The payment made In June, plus the
amount already paid must equal one
half Of the total tax due, after taking
the Is Per cent reduction.
Likewise. the amount paid m Sep-i
tsmber plus the amount previously
paid must equal thrse-fourths Of the
total tax liability, after the 2B per
cent reduction Is taken. The remain
der Of the tax liability win be payable
IN or before December 18th.
In cases where the taxpayer paid
the full amounts Of the tax shown on
their returns. refunds viii be rnade
If ons-fourth Of the amounts. II win
not be necessary for claims to be filed.
N fact correspondence from taxpay-
rs relative TO such REFUNDS viii prob
lbly serve to slow down the work Of
he Collector IN listing all the items
md sending the necessary schedules TO
Washington in order that the checks
nay be drawn. The Collector states
hat this work will be carried on as
apidIy ss It can be performed by his
orce Of employees.
Collector Rasmussen calls attention !
o the fact that the rs per cent reduc- {
ION applies to the incomes Of individr
ais only. All corporations viii be re- ]
uirsd to pay the full amount Of m !
ONE tax shown due on their 1923 re-
urna as originally filed.

The usual notices have been issued
by C. A. Rasmussen. Collector Of In
ternsl Revenue, reminding income tas
payers that the second installment Of
tax is due June 18th. OF special Ia.
terest to taxpayers Is the provision
carried in the new Revenue Law 20
the effect that the tax on income re-
ceived by individuals in the calemdar
year 1928 will be reduced rs per cent.
This means that every individual who
is subject to income tax win be re-
lieved Of one-fOurth Of the tax hAbil-
ity which he reported on the return
filed on or prior to March 18TH or If
the tax was paid in full that he win
receive a refund Of one-fOurth Of his
payment.
Taxpayers who paid only one-fourth
Of their tax in March, however, should
not make the mistake Of thinking that
they may take credit for the full 25
per cent reduction at once and not
pay anything when the second install
ment comes due. The new Law pro-
vides that the Is per cent reduction
shall be prorated over all four INSTALL
ments. For instance, II an individual
reported tax Of 500 on his return,
he can consider that the new law has
reduced his tax TO 975. II he has
paid g26, or one-fourth Of the amount
reported when he filed his return,
then he must pay s12.50 on or before
June 18th. This amount, together
with the s25 previously paid win make
up one-half of the SIS. A simple way
for taxpayer to arrive At the amount
Of his June payment 10 to remember
that IL his March payment was one
fourth Of the amsunt shown on his
return his June payment win be just
one-half Of his March payment The
tax remaining unpaid after June 18th,
may be paid in equal installments on
" before September 18th and Decem-
Der 10 respectively.
A considerable number Of taxpayers
Who are accustomed to paying all their
AK when they file their returns an
icipated 25 per cent reduction, and
his year paid only three-fourths of
he amounts reported on their returns.
This class Of taxpayers viii, Of
curse, have nothing further to pay
his year, unless additional tax is dis I
lOsed when the, returns are audited

highest mark thus far, at that insti-

In order to be eligible TOT a place

That these disabled men ''put OVER

In the matter Of "grade points" the
