TIME FOR
PAYMENT OF
TAX EXTENDED

Lewis Penwell, collector of Internal
Revenue, today reminded individual
income taxpayers that congress has
changed from December Is, 1914, to
January Is, 1915, the final date for
filing Declarations of Estimated In
come Tax, either original (as in the
case of farmers), or amended, and
paying of installments of estimated
tax for the calendar year 1914.
Among the taxpayers affected by
this change in dates are: farmers who
exercised their right to defer filing
declarations last April Is; others who
have already filed 1914 declarations
but desire to change their estimates
by filing amended declarations; all
persons who owe the final installment
of 1914 estimated tax.
If a taxpayer who would otherwise
be required to file an original or
amended Declaration of Estimated
Tax by January Is, 1915, files his
annual income tax return for 1914 ION
Form 1O40) and pays all tax due by
January Is, his return will serve as
DOM return anu ueCldTdtlOH anu ne
need not file the 1914 declaration.
Also, if a taxpayer files his final
1914 return (on Form 1040) and pays
the tax due on it by January Is, he
need not pay the final installment
which otherwise would be due on his
tax.
A bill from the Collector for the
final stallment of 1914 estimated tax
may be ignored by a taxpayer who
files his annual return Ton Form 1040)
and pays the tax due on it by Jan
uary Is.
These changes will enable a tax
payer, if he desires to do so, to wind
up all of his 1914 income tax obliga-
tions by January Is, but it does not
affect the filing of his 1915 declara-
ton which will be due March Is.
Also, taxpayers who do not file their.
final 1914 returns by January Is must
do sO nv March Is

FORMULA FOR
HIGHWAY FUNDS
VICTORY

! Retention of the present formula for
distributing federal aid highway
funds, now seen by the Montana high.
way department as virtually assured,
is victory for states with large areas
and small populations.
Montana, with other western states,
long had urged that this formula of
division on basis of one-third popu-
lation, one-third area and one-third
road mileage be retained The house
now has abandoned the idea of APP
portioning on a basis far less favor
able to western states.
Howard Holmes, state highway en-
gineer, said this action by the house
signifies the overcoming of strong
opposition on the part of the small but
more heavily populated eastern states
and assures a more liberal share of
federal funds for the development Of
primary and secondary mileage in
rural areas.
eff efforts to bring about lower
ing of federal standards controlling
the building of secondary roads are
also successful, Montana may look
forward to the most constructive pc
riod of highway development in its
history.

To All Affiliated Unions and
Central Councils

Greetings
The last session of the legislature
appropriated one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the fiscal years
July list, 1943 to June 30th, 1914, and
July 1st, 1914, to June Both, 1915, to
the Teachers Retirement Fund.
The teachers are taxed five per cent
of their salary which is deducted from
their pay check each month and the
same paid into the Teachers Retire
ment Fund.
A movement is now being made to
create sentiment to amend the Teach
ers' Retirement Act by the next ses-
sion of the legislature to place tax
on school districts to an amount equal
to three and one-half per cent of the
salaries each district pays to the
teachers.
Many school districts in the state
are taxed up to the limit and if this
proposed new tax will raise the tax
levy over ten mills, then an election
of taxpayers within the school district
must be held to vote the increase in
tdAdIlOu. IL any oCnOOl ulolilCt fOleS
down the increased tax to be paid into
the Teachers Retirement Fund, then
the proposed amendment will be
dead letter.
On the other hand, the state of
Montana is amply able to pay into
the Teachers Retirement Fund one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars per
year. Montana levies no taxes for
state purposes, yet is able to accumu-
late money in the State Treasury each
year after paying $15O,000O0 a year
into the Teachers Retirement Fund.
Many school districts in this state
at present are not paying fair salaries
to their teachers, therefore to make
school districts pay tax of three and

dination of plans and development OF
the region.
Apparently, the planners of the pro-
gram had arranged for a happy cul-
mination of the desires of the Mon
tana Power Company by getting as a
featured speaker Judge Clifford H.
Stone of Denver. This speaker spent
all of his time in a presentation of the
IVA from what could be assayed as
the viewpoint of a private electric
utility official and on the basis of self
developed premises, condemning Sen
ator Murray's bill for a MVA. Judge
Stones speech is discussed editorially
in this issue.

convention was not useful Many
