Montana's highway funds will

This amount of construction is

represents an increment of the

Over the years Montana has
seen fit to encourage settlement
of its eastern area by worthy
stock from the Dakotas and the
Great Lake states. Obviously,
Judge Erickson would have an
imaginary border line play to the
advantage of politicians.
On the basis of his aspirations
to the Office of governor of Mon
tana and his inconsistencies as to
who should be awaited the oppor-
tunity to help built a greater
Montana of the future, we must
remind him that his birthplace is
q Dakota town.

CONSISTENCY. THOU
ART A JEWEL

Headlining on its front page
the political address given by
Judge Left Erickson at his Con-
rad appearance on October IL,
the Great Falls Tribune quoted
the democratic governorship as
pirant as follows:
II have always believed Mon
tana should and must be run BY
Montana men and women. The
people who live in Montana are
the people who love Montana and
will exert the most effort in her
development. 1t is those Mon.
tana men and women who know
what Montana wants and who
can best serve her."
Judge Erickson's laudation was
in connection with a criticism of
Governor Ford's appointment of
a chief engineer of the highway
department and head of the
state industrial school, who. &C.
cording to his assertion, were not
Montanans when they were given
the appointment.
Obviously. Judge Erickson has
resorted to the "funnies" in his
quest of the Office of governor of
Montana, doing the same thing
that Andy Gump did when he
tried to play the Mayor Of Port
land against the Mayor of Sc
attic a few years ago in his
quest of the Presidency of the
United States. Appearing in both
cities day apart, he lauded each
as the greater man.
Great numbers of Montana citi.
zens should not get a great deal
of comfort from Judge Erick.
sons contention. As a matter of
fact, in other addresses recently
Judge Erickson has urged the
influx of people from other
states to bring about its develop
ment.

According to this information,

least one floor is still inhabitable.
Many of these may be repaired.

N. C.. Income Tax Payments
Are Explained By Officials

N. C.. officials are reminding
the public that state income tax
reports must be filed by March
Is.
Requirements for filing income
tax returns include all persons
and married women receiving
income of 100000 or more, and
all married men living with
wives on December 81, 1913, re-
ceiving 100000 or more, are re-
quired to file an income tax re-
turn for the above year even
though there may be no tax due
on same. The personal exemption
allowed single persons and mar
ried women with separate income
is 100000. The personal exemp-
ton allowed a married man liv-
ing with wife on the last day of
the year is 100000. Personal
exemption of $4,000 is allowed
for each dependent under 18
years of age, or if over Is years
of age physically or mentally I'M
able to earn a living. Partial sup
port of a dependent is not deduc-
tible.
The following deductions may
be taken credit for in arriving at
net income:
l. All the ordinary and neces-
sary expenses paid during the in
come year in carrying on a trade
or business, such as salaries and
wages of employees for services
rendered in producing such in
come.
2. Rents or other payments re-
quired to be made as a condition
of the continued use or possession
for the purpose of the trade of
property to which the taxpayer
has not taken or is not taking tt
tie, or in which he has no equity,
but this does not include rents
paid for a home.
3. All interest paid during the
year except interest paid on mon
ey borrowed to purchase nontax-
able securities and interest paid
to finance companies since this
interest is considered part of
the purchase price of the article
acquired and is, therefore, not
deductible.

BELIEVE ITALIAN
KING is DOOMED

Washington Gaetano Sal
vemini, former Italian deputy,
said King Vittorio Emmanuel is
doomed and the main problem in
Italy is clash between the Bad
oglio clique of generals and civil
ian political groups.
Salvemini who left Italy in
1925 and long has been an out
spoken anti-Facist, is now a Har-
ward university professor.
He told group of newspaper
men and government officials
that he believes the king has been
written off by Washington and
London policy-makers, and said
that all of Italy is almost unani-
mously convinced the king must
abdicate.
However, Salvemini declared
that General Pietro Badogilio and
the army chieftains about him
are no more popular in Italy than
the king. He predicted that left
unrestrained, they would attempt
to spawn a new regime of fasc-
ism.
