Ford Urges Red Cross
Roll Patronage

Preparedness today means
more than building a large army
n d navy. 1t means training
every individual to do his part,
whether a civilian or member
or the armed forces.
Through its various existing
services the American Red Cross
is engaged in a major task in the
civilian defense program. T o
meet these obligations fully. it
must achieve voluntary men,
bership comparable to that o
World War days. Here is oppor-
tunity for every resident of Mon
tana to share in defense program
by becoming a member OF the
Red Cross during it annual Roll
Call, from November II through
November 80.
By Congressional charter the
Red Cross is also designated as
the governments official welfare
agency for Americas military
and naval forces, as well as con-
stituting the nursing reserve for
the United tates army.
Through its field director stats
at military posts and its home
service workers in $500 local
chapters the Red Cross provides
the important link of communi-
cation between the more than
two million men already under
arms and their families at home.
To safeguard the civilian popu-
lation the National Red Cross and
its 800 chapters must strength
en- disaster relief committees to
meet any emergency, create more
first aid detIchments, ambulance
and hospital services; ira i n
100, 900 nurses al d e 3, expand
canteen and motor corps, in Off
cial coopertion with the Office of
Of Civilian Defense. The Red
Cross. through its many years of
peacetime activity, has built a
neXlDle ana ef1lclent organization
to meet any emergency that may
rise. None of its plans are in
blue. print stage; all are in actual
operation.
Roll Call mem berships this
year not only provide the princi-
pal support for all these import
ant services, but they are pledges
of unselfisn cooperation in the
present emergency. They ar e
tokens of your belief III the Ameri-
can way. your insurance against
chaos if or when any wartime or
peacetime disaster strikes.
urge every citizen of Montana
to join the Red Cross during its
approaching Roll Call to help in
meeting these vital preparedness
responsibilities.

OF Penalty and Interest;
Circular Letter Explains

Appearing at meeting of the
town mayor and council last

son, Glacier county clerk and re-
corder, Cd behalf Of the board of
county commissioners expressed
satisfaction t the local groups

mately Sl3, 900 of back taxes on

county books, with over $1,000
owed prior to the five-year dead
line.
Property upon which this lat
ter sum is due will be subject to
county tax title early next year,
and judging from present cir
cumstances, unless efforts are
made by owners to preserve the
legality of their title, the county
commissioners plan to do what
they are obliged to do under Mon
tana statute.
At Thursday evenings meet
ing it was pointed out that by
avoiding tax delinquency proceed
ings, those in arrears would save
80 per cent. since penalty and in
! terest would otherwise increase
the amount that per cent.
The following circular letter
has been submitted to owners of
delinquent tax property:
The Browning town council
have requested the Glacier county
board of commissioner to proceed
to procure tax deeds to property
in Browning upon which taxes
are delinquent for more than five
years.

been made during the Morator-
ium (Which expires May 81. 1922

get in touch with the property
owners as to their intentions re-
garding the delinquency The
commissioners feel justified in
holding up the tax deed proceed
ings, until after the moratorium.
if substantial payment towards
the delinquency is made at pre-
sent and some assurance given
that the en- t ire delinquency
would be paid before the said
Moratorium expires"
In the event you are not fami-
liar with the Moratorium. all de-
llnQuency can be paid WITHOUT
PENALTY OR INTEREST. if
paid prioc to May 81, 1912.
The board will hold up any
proceedings until their regular
meeting January 9th, 18th and Sth
so that you may make your inten-
tions known"

Maybe S. Extra
Car Use Taxes:
And Maybe Not
Glacier County Owners Would
Be Amsag Millions Of Nation
To Pay Financial Tribste to
Add to Defense Funds

In the light of Washington
opinion. it is ques 10 n a b e
whether or not Glacier county
car and truck owners will have
to dig up a SIS bill as automobile
use taxes.
Obviously, that extra IS tribute
would make noticeable dent in
the bag of aggregate money that
otherwise would remain at home.
However. it costs money to trap
Hitler.
A Washington news article of
last saturday gives interesting
angles as follows:
While car owners are faced
with the necessity Of soon paying
their first S. automobile use"
tax. the U. S. treasury depart.
ment is confronted with the prob
lem of enforcing the new law.
1t was estimated that the tax
would bring the government one
hundred fifty million dollars. but
it looks as if it will largely bring
it q headache. The trouble and
cost of enforcement are expected
tn be so great that it would not
be surprising if congress were
asked to modify or even repeal
the law.
The treasury department did
not ask for this tax. but it is ex.
pected to collect it. There are
thirty two million private and
commercial automobile owners
in the country who would have
to be tracked down and asked to
fork over the tax.
1t is possible that a line will
be inserted in all income tax re.
turns requiring a report on the
ownership of automobiles.
Certain regulations concerning
the tax were written into the
law. These include the use of
windshield stickers as certificates
of payment and Jail sentence
and fine provided for tax dodgers.
The tax is to become effective
February l, 1912. with q prorated
payment until the beginning of
the tax year. July l..
That last provision is causing
uneasiness. 1t means that the
internal revenue collectors are
expected to take the field Feb
ruary l to collect $500 from each
auto owner.
If a person buys new or
second hand car March l he will
pay 42 cents less. The tax will
decrease each month until July,
when the collectors will have to
start all over again, and collect
the full S. tax for the full tax
year.
To do that successfully may
take an army of tax collectors.
The government may ask COOP
Grafton of the states to get the
names of car owners, and notices
may be sent to them. That
would require a tremendous office
force.
Then if millions of car owners
baked at paying the tax, the
government might be called upon
to use the overworked federal
courts as a sort of traffic court.
All in all the treasury depart.
