Governor Asks Rotation
Leave For Montana Guard

Governor Sam C. Ford ap-
pealed to Secretary of War Slim
son for rotation leaves for Mon
tana's national guard unit, which
has been in active service four
years and in the south Pacific
q years.
Ia a letter to Secretary Slim
son he said:
"On September l6 it will be
four years since Montana's ma
tionaI guard unit. the 163rd regi-
ment. Was called into federal SER
vice. For ABOUT q years this
regiment has been in the south
west Pacific war theater, includ-
ing more than six months of &C.
tual combat.
Il and many other Aontanans
feel that these men have not. in
view of their long service, re.
ceived the consideration they de-
serve in rotation leave from COM
bat zones. AS Spokesman for
the people Of Montana urge
the war department to weigh the
merits of this veteran regiment,
to the end that these men have
an opportunity to return to their
homes for rest and rehabilita-
ton. They have more than
earned a right to this.
In three years Montana has a.
ways responded Rallantly for the
nations defense. The first Mon
tana regiment fought in the
Philippines. The second Mon
tana. which became the 163rd
regiment on being mustered into
federal service in 1917, fought in
France. and now it is helping to
avenge Pearl Harbor.
mo soldier of the 163rd Mon
tana regiment beRrudges one
hour of these long four years un-
der arms. but do wish to EN-
phasize that these men have won
the right of rotation leave. The
people of Montana will be crate.
full for your favorable response
to this plea. &"
Secretary Stimson replied that
granting of furloughs to the sol.
diers as a group was impossible,
but that as individuals they
would be considered. ont of the
war departments deep apprecis.
ton Of their meritorious service.

ROE OPPOSES
JAP FARM LABOR

| Farmers in nine Eastern Shore OF
Maryland counties have Joined for.
mer State Senator Dudley G.. Roe OF
Queen Anne's County, in his Shore
wide movement to prevent any at
tempt to place Japanese-American
labor in any industry or on any Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland farm during
the approaching seasons.
Admitting that the farm labor sit
uation was serious. Senator Roe new
ertheless declared he was bitterly OPP
posed to bringing any Japs into the
Eastern Shore of Maryland.
"The cure would be worse than
the disease" he told farm confer
ences in various points on the Shore.
81 certainly don't want our Shore
or even our State to be afflicted with
the yellow peril, low standard Of
wages, and low standard of living to
give us an additional postwar prob
lem to contend with. I had rather
have a bunch of rattlesnakes than
Japs on the Shore"
The movement against bringing
Eastern Shore of Maryland counties
was launched by Senator Roe follow
ing agitation in Delaware over plans
to place such farm and industry la
Dor in that State.
Farmers in Worcester county ask
ed Senator Roe to join them in pro-
test against the use of German war
prisoners as farm labor on Worces-
ter farms during the approaching
planting and harvesting season. The
Worcester farmers rose UP in arms
after a Salisbury, Md, club aired
plans to place Nazi war prisoners at
Camp Decatur, Berlin, and Camp
Somerset, Westover, for use as farm
labor.
Robert T. Grant. Worcester farm
agent, declared that Nazi war prison
ers were not wanted as farm labor in
his county.
Eastern Shore Gamers and opera
tors of industries, however, have re-
quested German war prisoners as re-
lief labor from the War Manpower
Commission. Senator Roe stated he
was not opposed to German war pris-
oners being employed in canneries or
in industries of the Shore.

a drastic shortage of labor and the
usual sources of supply have dried
up," he added.

been advised by military officials that
soldiers will be unavailable unlike
last year"

Must File Tax
Declarations
Fifteen Million Income
Tax Payers Must
Make Reports

By April fifteen this year declara-
lions of estimated 1914 income and
victory tax will be required of some
10 million Americans, the Bureau
of Internal Revenue predicts.
When the federal "pay-as-you-go"
system of income tax payment was
put into effect the middle of last
year, it became necessary for the
Bureau of Internal Revenue to make
arrangements to collect income and
victory tax in quarterly "pay-as-you-
CO. installments. For large number
OF wage-earners and salaried persons,
their installments were taken care
of by employers deductions from pay
checks. For some wage-earners and
salaried persons and others whose in
come came from other sources, decla
accompanied by instalments
where taxes were due, were required.
In 1914, "pay-as-yourgo" is in eff
feet for the whole year, and with
holding by employers is expected to
take care of the tax obligations of
most Americans. For others-farm-
ers and farm laborers included
tax declarations and installment pay
ments still are necessary. Farmers
but not farm wage-earners-may
wait until December Is to make their
must pay the entire amount due at
that time.

larations and if taxes are due, pay
installments by April Is:
/. Those who make more than
$2,700 in wages that are subject to

2. Those who make more than
500 from sources not subject to

The following married persons

1. Those who have a total income
of more than $500 in wages that
are subject to Withholding by en-
ployers.
Q. Those who make more than
500 from sources not subject to
Withholding provided that-(a) their
combined income, regardle of
source, is expected to be more than
$1,000 or more, or (b) one individ-
ual income, regardless of source, is
expected to be more than 1924.
While members of the armed for
ces are not exempt from filing tax
declarations, the first $1,000 of pay
for each member is not taxable. This
makes it unnecessary for most of
them to file declarations.
Mastering out payments to dis
charged servicemen and cost-of-liv-
ing allowances paid to civilian ofic-
ers and employees of the Government
stationed outside of the United States
are exempted from tax and are not
counted in income.

Shore Trapping
Season Profitable

The muskrat trapping season on
the Eastern Shore is reported to have
been the most profitable for years.
1t is estimated that the industry pro-
duced approximately 100000 in
revenue, due primarily to high prices
for both pelts and the meat.
A large marsh tract in Dorchester
County was purchased some weeks
ago and a force OF trappers put to
work, the result of which was the
sale of pelts and meat amounting to
more than $4,000 during the closing
days of the season.
