Tire Situation Serious

Most critical stage of the tire sit
uation will be reached during the
coming three months, j. ]. Ma
honey of Denver, regional tire ex-
aminer, informed Montana tire
dealers and inspectors in series of
statewide meetings during the past
ten days. He said that of the Lila
875 truck tires requested each month
during October, November and De-
cember for military and Lend-Lease
use, $4,000 per month were all
that could be delivered. while the
Office of Defense Transportation
estimated a need of 674.522 tires per
month for civilian operation and
secured 100000 during each of the
past three months.
Recapping is vital
Need for the utmost conserva-
ton of truck tires was stressed by
Mr.. Mahoney. 1T is of vital i'm
portance that truckers, farmers and
all other drivers of trucks recap
their tires while the carcass IS still
in good condition, he stated.
while synthetic production is very
good, tire building equipment IS
short. as is manpoWer, and times
required for production is triple
that of former production with
crude rubber. Truck tires OF popu-
lar sizes are only Is to 40 per cent
efficient in comparison with pre-
war tires

Your Estimated Income Tax
Government Resumes Educational Campaign to
Insure Complete Understanding, Coopera-
ton on April 18th Filing-Various
Features Explained.

On or before April Is, 1914, fifteen
million people dncluding service
men who have taxable income af-
ter excluding the first $500 of
service pay) must file declarations
of estimated income and victory
taxes for 1914 and make quar-
terly payment on the basis of those
declarations. Originally due on
March IS, the declarations were
postponed until April IS in order to
include provisions of the new rev.
enue bill, the Revenue Act of 1913,
which did not become law until
February Is, 1874, and which
changed in some respects the basis
for estimating the 1914 tax. Certain
farmers may elect to wait until De-
cember Is before they file, and per-
sons who are outside the continental
United States on April is need not
file their declaration at that time.
The 1914 declaration forms, Form
1040-ES are printed slips 3a4 8
inches. similar in appearance and
general contents to the forms used
for the 1943 declarations in Sep
TENDER and December, 1913. They
have been mailed to all persons who
flied declarations last year. Tax
payers who are required to file for
the first time this year may obtain
copies from any Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, together with work
sheets which will be of assistance
in preparing the estimate of tax for
1914.
These declarations are part Of
the pay-as-you-go system Of tax
collections which enable every tax
payer, so far as possible, to keep
substantially up to date on his in
come tax payments. The income
tax is a major part of the federal
governments method of paying for
the war and all other governmental
costs. OF the so million people who
filed income tax returns for 1913,
the majority had their taxes paid
in full through withholding from
their wages. Withholding, however,
covers only the normal income tax
at SO, the surtax at the lowest
bracket rate of 1870, and the victory
tax at 80. People with income in
the higher brackets must therefore
make ssditional payments during
the year in order to keep current
and not fall behind in their tax
payments.
Furthermore, Withholding applies
only to certain wages and salaries
and not to (a) wages and salaries
paid to such persons as members
of the armed forces, clergymen, ag-
ricultural labor, and domestics, nor
to (b) other forms of income, such
as business profits, returns from
farming, interest, dividends, and
rents. Since taxes are not usually
collected at the source from such
incomes, the declarations with their
quarterly payments have the i'm
portant function Of keeping people
with income from these sources up

Marvel Cooke of Minneapolis is

newspaper woman an import
ant cog in the N. Y. chapter of the
American Newspaper Guild and
married to Cecil Cooke, a former

summer. Marvel's sister Helen is
member of the national Y. W. c A.

married or is already married to

On the same paper with Mrs.
Cooke is Nell (Dodson) Russell

remember as the youthful con-
