TWO COMPANIES ARE
MERGING STATIONS

A gradual consolidation of the
Continental and Mutual oil com
panies, producers and refners
having distributing centers in
Great Falls, is now under way
and will be fully accomplished
within a few months, according
toe. w. Landsrud, district mana
ger of the Continental which will
become the name of the consoli-
dated companies.
Mutual service stations thru
out Montana are being closed as
rapidly as the change can be
effected with the Continental
taking over the business. When
the merger is completed the Con-
tinental will have taken over all
business of the Mutual in addi-
ton to it's own.
A meeting of the Mutual stock
holders to act on the change in
name was held at Portland, Me-,
recently, but no word has been
received locally as to the action
taken. The business of the meet
ing was merely formal and it is
thought that the change in name
was agreed on. - Tribune

play IT Safe--Hle a Return

PLAY it safe File returnl'
is the slogan advocated by c. A.
Rasmussen, collector of Internal
Revenue for the District of Mon
tana, in suggestions to all tax
payers who must file Income Tax
returns before March 15, 1925.
Under the provisions of the
Revenue Act of 1924. the Collec-
tor is no longer authorized to
grant extensions of time within
which to file Income Tax Returns.
All persons or firms desiring an
extension of time for the filing
of returns, should make applica-
tion therefor direct to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,
Washington, D. c., and such ap-
plication should be mailed in
time to reach Washington before
March Is.
Under the Revenue Act of 1924
all corporations who paid Divi-
dends amounting t 0 $500.00 or
over to any one individual, part
nership, or corporation during
the calender year 1924 must file
an information return on Form
1897 with the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, Sorting Sec
ton, Washington, d. c., on or
before March Is, 1925. Blanks
can be obtained upon request |
from the Collector. Stock Divi-
dends and Liquidating Dividends
need not be reported.
The new Act provides for a
25 per cent reduction in the tax
due on earned income up to $10,-
and that all incomes of |
less than $4,000.00 shall be con-
sidered earned. Therefor, if
your net income is less than $5,-
10000 you should first compute
the tax at 2 per cent and then
reduce the tax by deducting one
fourth thereof.
The 1924 Income Tax Law,
while it very materially reduced
the normal tax rates. and altered
some of the administrative pro-
visions of the law, did not in any
manner relieve the liability of
taxpayers to file returns. The
Internal Revenue Bureau is con-
confronted by the fact
hat a number Of taxpayers SEEM
ngly cannot escape the convic-
ion that their net earnings do
not reach the amount which they
ire allowed by personal exemp-
ions as heads of families, it is :
Unnecessary for them to file a re- ;
urn. This is entirely erroneous. ,
Any single person, widow or
vidower, whose net income is |
1000 or more, must file a return, {

FLOWERS FOR US

To say that4>lhe Review is a
growing institution, is proven by
the fact, that this week sixty
new subscribers were added to
its ever increasing list. This
makes advertising worth while

terested people know where to
get real information.

empsions may be. Any individu-
al who is married and whose net
income is $2500 or more, must
j file return, regardless Of what
| his exemptions may be. Any in
| dividual whose gross income, as
/ defined by the regulations, is in
I excess of 5000 must also file a
return.
There is a further reason why
individuals who are not certain
as to their income and as to their
liability, should file a return if
| i n doubt. Every corporation,
partnership, orindividual employ
ing help is required under the
law to furnish to the Commission
er form known as number 1899,
giving list of employees and the
salaries paid to them. it is often
found that these concerns have
failed to enumerate all of their
employees, and it then becomes
necessary to call on the individ-
uals and make an investigation
as to the amount of salary re-
ceived, or the reason for failing
to file return. Very often these
concerns neglect to give the in
formation 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 S2.500 would be called
upon to furnish the needed infor-
nation, to straighten the matter
out. Thus the individual is put |
to an unnecessary loss of time |
and expense in appearing before
the Collector. or Deputy Collect
or, to answer these questions.
This causer irritation and fric-
tion, for which the taxpayer can
no well be blamed AS an illus
tration: in the year 1923, over
two thousand individuals in Mon
tana failed to file retlrns, and ac-
cordingly were subjected to pen
alties and the filing of offers in
compromise. This could have
been avoided, had these taxpay-
ers filed returns.
The reasons set forth above i

Travel

N RESIDENT w. B. HINER of
liz the Red Ball Transit Com
IL pany, believes the next ten
years viii see radical changes in
transportation. In which airpIanes
will play an important part.
From numbering stage coaches to
winged mails shooting across the
sky, is far cry. But transporta-
ton has made that advance in a
human life span.
In 1885 man may stick spurs into
radio wave and shoot around the
world.
Man is proud of his mechanical
transportation achievements. And
properly SO. For they have enabled
him to spread over and conquer
the earth.
While he Travelled on his own
muscles he was just slow, weak
animal struggling to exist. But
when he learned to ride, not walk. he
started on the road to civilization.
The first man to mount horse
was the greatest inventor In trans
.portation He invented motive
power. From that invention the
Twentieth Century Limited and the
air-mail are the legitimate off
spring.
But ability to travel far and fast
is by itself an empty achievement.
For It isn't the CELEBRITY with which
one travels from here to there that
counts. The important thing is
what he does after arriving there.

Entertainment

TT T is estimated that Indianapo-
/ lis spent approximately
- $4,000 in the principal down
town clubs. hotels, and theaters in
celebrating New Years eve. Yet
this is only fraction of the total
spent in the city.
Azid as the old year died money
flowed just as freely in other cities.
From New York to Main streets
wearing self-consciously brand new
paving. For that is the custom.
The national expense for greeting
1925 will run into stupendous
figures. Which if devoted to charity
would astound the world. Or if
added to, taxes would cause the
citizenship to writhe in anguish.
However, devoted to New Years
fun, the sum causes no commotion
except blistered feet. And occasional
alcoholic qualms And is quickly
forgotten.
Perhaps it's pity so much should
be spent for so little. For the New
Year wouldn't be a minute late if
no one spent a nickel on it.
Therefore in the cold light of
reason the cash dumped into the
hilarity is sheer economic waste.
But people spend for what they
want. not what they need. They
want northumberland will pay
for it. Such low tastes may be re-
grettable. But humanity is always
discouraging to the uplifters.

The serni-arid and treeless sec.
lions OF the United States may be
planted to eucalyptus, if expert
ments now being made by the
United States Forestry Service
prove successful.
The eucalyptus tree is from Aus
tralia. There are more than zoe
kinds of eucalyptus in Australia.
One Of these, the snow eucalyptus, ,
was said to withstand q. temperature
Of 20 degrees below zero. Expert.
ments conducted by the forestry

that it would not stand this much
cold. but that 1t could stand at least
4 degrees below zero.

ly attained. Every institution and
department favors economy = for
others. But it feels public service
would be hamstrung if any decrease
should be made in its own expendi-
lures.
So that in practice there is more
smoke than fire in the talk of reduc-
ing governmental costs.
Before there can be any real
economy, State institutions and de-
partments must experience change
of heart They must base their re-
quests not on desires-or ambition
to enlarge their service-but on ac-
tual, frugal needs.

Union

fTT1 HE International Typograph-
ical Union has purchased the
1J Murdoch home-2S20 N. Me-
ridian St, Which it will use for its
offices, now located downtown.
The printers ti3ts acquire one of
the show places Of the city. And a
mansion built. by Capital becomes
the everyday home OF Labor.
There may be pathos in the de-
scent Of town houses from proud
and luxurious homes to use in com
merce or shirtssleeved trade. But
that is the inevitable consequence of
city growth.
However, when such a home be-
comes the property Of trade union
the event isn't depressing, but cheer
ing. For it denotes social progress.
And may reassure some. Who
believe all unions are compounded
OF long haired hate and dynamite.
Anxious to fire the economic world
and blow the ashes into the Milky
Way.
There is no red-eyed radicalism in
a warranty deed. So a union that
buys valuable real estate isn't in the
business of destruction. It's interests
are constructive-to build more
stable future.
Which is the aim Of most trade
unions. There is distinction. but
little difference between Capital and
Labor. In both is much plain hui
man nature.

century, is in his Saith year.
And although rumor also has at
tached itself to him as about ready
to resign the seat he has held for
twenty-five years, it is now consid-

USTICE HOLMES has an en-

he had been commissioned first lieu

Volunteer Infantry, and had started
for the front.
In October of that year, in the
battle Of Balls Bluff, he was shot
through the breast. Recovering from
this wound, and being promoted to
a captaincy, he led his men into
thte battle Of Antietam in Septem-
Der, '62, and got a bullet through the
neck.
Seemingly the rebels couldn't en-
tirely miss his long, lank form. for
the following year at Maryes
Heights, Fredericksburg, he was shot
through the heel.
This latter wound. he has often
said, might have been embarrassing
had he not had two previous scars

ET1 ASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-When
IWI Associate Justice Joseph Nc.
0 Kenna Of the United States
Supreme Court resigns his seat on
that high bench, as he is understood
to be about to do. he will have set
q record as the most resigned gen
tleman in high official circles.
Back in the early sos, after cou-
pie Of terms as prosecuting attorney
of Solano county, California, and a
brief period in the California Legis-
lature, McKenna was elected to Con.
gress.
In the midst Of his fourth term
he was offered appointment. by
President Harrison, as United States
circuit Judge. Whereupon he re-
signed as member of Congress and
mounted the bench.
When Mckinley was elected Pres
ident he spotted McKenna as likely
cabinet material and rendered him
the post Of attorney general. So
McKenna resigned the judgeship
and entered the cabinet.
Within a year, however,, Justice
Field having retired from the SUI
preme bench, the little lawyer from
the West was picked for the vacant
seat, and so resigned his cabinet
slip. -
That was twenty-seven years ago.
Since then he has served continuous
1y on the Supreme bench, being now
in point of service the oldest mem
Der of the court. Justice Holmes,
who is two years older, is three
years younger in service on the
bench.
Physically frail and now in his
SD year, McKenna has decided to re-
sign once more, this time retiring to
the quiet of private life for the few
years that perhaps remain to him.
