FEDERAL INCOME TAX
RETURNS LAGGING

Treasury department officials are
worried about the increase in requests
for extensions of time in which to file
final income tax returns, as we'll as the
increase in installment plan payments.
1t shouldn't be like that if a non-depres-
sion year, they believe-but they admit
that the new undistributed profits tax
may have something to do with it.
There is probably more than one rea-
son. The undistributed profits tax leaves
many business without m o. ey
enough to pay up the income tax after
they have distributed profits to avoid
practical confiscation of a large portion
of their surplus. More basically, there
are a great number of businesses which
are just now realizing that new book
keeping methods, new accounting sys-
TENS and new ways of computing taxes
are necessary because of the social Sc
curity tax, the profit tax and numerous
other taxes imposed by the federal gov
ernment.
The treasury department, after look
ing into the reason for income tax de-
laws. probably will find that many firms
and individuals, when their taxes are
normal, pay up Immediately; but when
their taxes are excessive, begin to look
for every legal loophole to avoid taxa
ton.
Money is necessary if taxes are to be
paid. If profits are made unprotltable,
they will be unpopular and the trea-
sury department really will have "a SUBJ
ject for worry.

that If we let our country get into

in the responsibility for such

We wouldn't be thinking about
it, of course, when the war fever
struck us. We wouldn't see the
dusty wreckage or the helpless,

when the flags were fluttering in

F. r. Hasn't Decided Yet Can He

WASHINGTON - President Roosevelt has
been seriously thinking of calling for an inter-
national peace and disarmament conference,
but he hasn't made up his hind. Lately it has
appeared to those closely in touch with the
President that he was not likely to take that
step in the near future. if at all.
The man in the White House has been null
ing the idea over for at least some weeks, how
ever There is the possibility that such move
might conceivably change world history by avoid
ing the most disastrous of all wars. William C.
Bullitt, U. S. ambassador to France and Roose-
velts fair-haired boy among the diplomats, has
been urging Roosevelt on. Bullitts influence IN
major State Department policies has been OBJ
vious for four years. France, to which Bullltt
is assigned, favors the international conference
idea The extent to which other major powers
have been sounded out is still close secret.
There is reason to believe that one important
factor in the Presidents hesitation is the Ques-
ton whether certain outstanding figures in the
world scene could be trusted to cooperate or
to keep pledges. The failure OF "non-nterVen-
ton" agreements as to Spain has not gone I'M

Blum incidentally, has been a consistent ad-

years in which other European statesmen have
been skeptical
Although the Treasury recently announced
it had flatly refused request from France that
it be allowed to have a fiscal agent in New York
for payment of coupons on the new billion dol

ton had secretly shown more amiabty toward
proposals to aid France with her loan than
is commonly supposed.

when doctors removed nickel
which had lodged in the throat of
the four-year-old son of Mrs. Ber-

NEW YORK, April 1.-The flossy
and intimate nightclubs have dis
covered that their orchestras and
bar tenders can be more than mere
dispensers of tunes and tipples.
They can, indeed, bring much ro-
mantle feminine patronage by that
quality known as 1t.
The gossip tattlers are often
stressing the attachment of some
iebutante for a musician or Har-
ward boy turned drink jiggler. AS a
result. these employees are being Sc
lected as much for their looks as
for ability. And there are some
first rate Robert Taylors among
them.
Incidentally, it is noticed that
the Weissmuller hair cut or rather
lack of cut, is quite the bang among
the heart fluttererS. A sort of long
bob. Between tunes, the musicians
now join the ladies at their tables
an intimacy once strictly taboo.
And at almost every bar there is
perched a girl or so who patiently
drops in for Just a tete-a-tete with
the mixers. The old beer hall for

used to be used to entice the men.

Having passed tax laws to raise
sufficient revenue to meet the states
needs for the next biennium, it is
obvious that revenues from any adj
ditional tax measures would have
acted as replacement tax on prop
erty. Thus, the Governor pointed
out in his radio address, had the
Senate conservatives gone along with
the liberal House members in enact
ing a severance tax on iron ore, the
additional revenue resulting there
from would have enabled the state
to have wiped out the state levy on
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-07-29

Nevertheless, some advances were
made in this special session towards
tax reform in the interests of the
owner of property. 1t is particularly
to be noted that, through the Cover
nor's insistence and the fight waged
by the House liberals, the state mil
lage rate on real property was some
what reduced even though it was
necessary to provide more revenue
than even before.
In this connection passage of the
homestead exemption law, sponsored
by the administration, can be listed
as definite and significant achieve
ment. One can agree with the Gov
ernor when he says that passage of
this law alone justified the special
session.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-07-29

1t is quite well known on St. Paul's
Capitol Hill that when the Senate
at the beginning of the special ses-
sion adopted a rule to consider only
revenue producing measures, this
rule was aimed at defeating home
stead exemption. Public opinion,
however, was too much for the sena-
tors and they were compelled to pass
the law. But in doing so they
amended it so that the city home
owners and farmers for the next few
years will receive only partial bene-
fits from the law.
