Beyond Victory

Editor, The Times. Arthur

Of unprecedented prosperity in
the years to come.

. Mr.. Baruch' S Party

Viewing Mr.. Barney Baruch and Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Hopkins as private citi-
zens, the Christmas dinner given by Mr..
Bsruch for Mrs. Hopkins was nobodys
business but their own, as long as Mr..
Baruch was spending his own money.
But they are not exactly private citi-
Zens.
Mr.. Baruch, sometimes referred TO rs
the Voice of Experience" because of the
great service he performed for the gov
eminent in World War No. |, was chosen
by President Roosevelt to set up the rub
Der conservation program. He performed
an admirable service in that capacity.
Mr.. Hopkins is so close to and so trust
ed by the president that he and Mrs. Hop
kins live at the White House. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Hopkins wrote a magazine article
In which he pointed out that rationing has
only started; that the days to come will
see much more belt Tightening. The pur
pose OF the article was to pass on to the
American people the information that
great many sacrifices will be expected of
all good citizens before we lay down our
arms in the present conflict.
Right on the heels of that advice, there
comes from Washington the story that Mr..
Hopkins permitted fellow New Dealer
to give a 5000 party for his wife. Among
the guests were said TO be many prominent
New Dealers whose Job will be to persuade
the American people to stop spending
money needlessly and to be moderate in
their diet. Their presence at the Baruch
party did not seem like a good example of
the hard living to which they are asking
their fellow citizens to submit.
The affair was hardly worth all the
space certain of the Washington common
tators have been using to express their in
dignation. It is more something that calls
for the verdict of bad taste. Even though
Mr.. Baruch has more money than he can
spend comfortably, it was extremely bad
taste at time such as this.

busting Gold Coins Was
Racket in the Early Days

Because gold as it comes from
the mines is somewhat soft, it was
not at all uncommon for gold coins
or nuggets of the early days to
wear down in actual value. "Dust-
ing gold" also became racket.
In Chinatown, San Francisco, ell
derby Chinese men with infinite
patience sat by days shaking sacks
of gold coins over pan. Gold dust
rubbed off on sacks and filtered
through, and this was salvaged for
resale at the minis. Coins were
then passed on at their full
marked value. Today hardening
alloys are added to gold.
If you know Navy man, don't
ever call him a "gob"-sailors
consider the name an insult. You
can get on the right side of him
though if you offer him Camel
--or better yet, send him carton.
Camels are the favorite cigarette
with men in the Navy (Army, Ma
rines, Coast Guard, too, for that
matter) based on actual sales rec
ords from the service mems stores.
And though there are Post Office
restrictions on packages to over
seas Army men, you can still send
Camels to soldiers in the U. S.,
and to men in the Navy, Marines
and Coast Guard wherever they
are.-Adv.

Tax Declarations Must Be Filed On
Or Before Sept. Is, Says Penwe|I

Around 10000 taxpayers of the
district, which includes Glacier
County, will be required to file
declarations Of estimated income
for 1913. Under the Federal Tax
Act of 1913, this must be done on
or before September Is and make
payment of the balance of 1913
tax estimated to be due at that
time.
Under the Federal Tax Act.
according to Lewis Penwell, Col
lector OF Internal Revenue, some
will not be required to file the
declaration, because they ar e
paying their tax in full through
the withholding deductions made
by their employers. Banks for
the declarations are being mailed
out by Collector Penwell at the
present time.
To facilitate the procedure, the
First National Bank of Brown.
ing has available for taxpayers d

fed explanation.
