TOKYO NEWSPAPER NOTE

Last week, just about the time il
reported Ginjiro Fujiwara's resigna-
ton as munitions minister, the Jaja-
.nese Domei agency announced that
Tokyo newspapers - already cut in
size because of the newsprint short
age would henceforth reduce the
number of their editions from four
to three to save more paper.
Fujiwara and the newsprint short
age recalled tale of how Fujiwara,
as chairman of the Oil Paper Com
pany once high-pressured Tokyo's
newspapers into buying more paper
from his company. The Fujiwara
scheme force dthe dailies to triple
their newsprint consumption.
The Ojo Paper Company, part of the
Mitsui empire, is virtual monopoly
and is the chief source of newsprint
for Japanese newspapers. The paper
company held five per cent interest
in the Osaka Mainichi, which in turn
published the Toyko Nichi Nichi.
Some years ago the Nichi Nichi
suddenly announced that it going to
publish, in addition to its regular edi-
lions, number of "neighborhood edi-
tons" Once the Nichi Nichi began
these extra editions, its
began to follow suit, thus
rolling up more profits for the Oil
Paper Company.
One newspaper remained out of the
fight, however. 1t was the Chugai
Shogyo, which was owned entirely by
Mitsui, Offs parent company.

REPLY TO JAMES D. GRAHAM

be raised by the districts will be about
S42 per teacher on the average.
During the present legislature, the
groups mentioned above are also UNI
animously agreed that the state ap
preparation for the State Public
Schools General Fund should be in
creased from 100000 to not less than
$1,500,000; thereby increasing the
amount of money distributed on the
classroom unit basis by at least $780,
000 This 100000 will equal $40 for
every classroom teacher in the state.
For this reason, the school district
will stand chance of getting four
times as much money from the state
as is asked of them to pay to the
Teachers Retirement System.
Personally, | have always felt that
the money for teachers retirement
should be apportioned from the State
as we apportion money from that
same fund for such other purposes
as transportation, supervised CORE
spondence study, visual education,
classroom unit, and special equaliza-
ton; but, a large majority of people
do not agree with me and being
believer in our democratic form of
government l am going to support
the program of the majority.
The question may be raised as to
whether or not the legislature will
appropriate the amount requested
Let me call your attention to the I'M
Outstanding that was had when House
Bill 10 was passed in 1889. The I'M
derstanding was that the legislature
would appropriate an amount which
will equal or exceed the income that
we would receive from the IL revenue
measures which distributed part or
all of its funds to the schools. This
of Judging what that income would
be for the first two years; but, during
the past two years, we have missed
the boat considerably because of the
fact that conditions have changed.
For the year ending June 80, 1912,
the appropriation was short 5000, 1872
of the income. For the year ending
June 80, 1913, the shortage was $685.
657. For the year ending June 80,
1914, the shortage was. $S55,032; and
for the current year, it is rather GER
tain that it may also be figure of
$4,000 With this situation we do
not see how any legislature can fail
to support the increase requested for
funds for the schools.
Under these conditions, l can see
no reason for opposition to the pro-
gram agreed to by these many or
CARNATIONS. We hope that you will |
inform your local affiliates and make |
it unnecessary for us to do so. 1t is
our belief that when you receive all |
his information you will support our
plan.
Sincerely yours,

various agencies she heads - Nazi

about 20,000,00O German women.
Born and reared in the South Ger

Nazi party in its early days and rose
to power through friendship with
three men. In 1929 she met and be-
came friends with Jacob Spunger,
Nazi leader in Hessen Through
Spunger she met present Labor Front
Leader Robert Ley, who appointed
her Leader of working women in
TIessen. In 1888, when the Nazis
came to power, she became head of
all working women in Germany The
following year she was made Leader
of all German women.
Frau Scholtz-Klink's position in the
party was solidified in 1910, when she
married August Heissmeyer, Senior

Military District III (Berlin). Heiss-
meyer is also Inspector-General of all

DEADLINE FOR
INCOME TAX
DECLARATIONS

Lewis Penwell, collector of Internal
Revenue. reminded taxpayers in this
district today that January Is is the
deadline for filing original or amended
1914 Declarations of Estimated Tax
and for paying installments on pre-
viously filed declarations for 1914.
Nearly all farmers are required to
to file original 1914 declarations by
January Is. Most other taxpayers
who were required to file 1914 dec
larations did so last April, but those
who underestimated their tax by more
than 20 per cent should file amended
declarations to avoid the penalty for
substantial underestimate January
Is, likewise, is the last day for pay
ing all installments due on 1914 dec
larations
Mr.. Penwell also called attention
to the new provision of law which
permits taxpayer to file his annual
income tax return for 1914 and pay
the tax due on the return by January
Is, instead of filing or paying "esti-
mated tax" otherwise due at that time.
Taxpayers availing themselves of this
special provision will be saved the
double duty of filing and paying "esti-
mated tax" on January Is and filing
and paying on the annual return
March Is. March Is remains the reg
ular deadline for filing 1914 annual
and 1945 Declarations of Esti-
mated Tax.
For detailed information and forms,
Mr. Penwell invited taxpayers to call
at his office at Helena, or branch
offices located at: Anaconda, Billings,
Bozeman, Butte, Cut Bank, Glasgow,
Great Falls, Havre, Kali
spell, Lewistown, Livingston, Miles
City, and Missoula.

Mr. James D. Graham, President
Montana State Federation of Labor
Helena, Montana
Dear Mr.. Graham
A copy of your letter of November
22nd addressed to all affiliated unions
and central councils concerning teach
ers retirement has been turned over
to me, and l have been asked to reply
In replying, I am giving you infor.
nation you did not have on that date
and could not have until this week.
l am sending copies to the members
of our committees and council for
their information.
We appreciate your interest in
teachers retirement, and we hope that
you will correct the incorrect state
that are not in harmony with the final
decision made by the State Teachers
Retirement Board on December End in
regard to financing teachers retire
ment
I shall give you the information that
is correct. The employers contribu-
ton plan for financing teachers retire
ment system is the one that has been
agreed to by the Teachers unions of
the state, by the Montana Education
Association, by the Montana School
Boards Association, by the County
Superintendent Association, by the
Montana Congress of Parent-Teachers,
by the State Teachers Retirement
Board. 1t is true that there have been
some disagreements as to whether or
not the payment for elementary teach
ers should be by the district or by the
county. | am sure that these groups
would favor the county as a plan if
that were possible. However, our at
torney general has ruled that this can
not be done; therefore, | believe that
we should all support the plan that
is considered constitutional. We may
question his opinion or disagree with
him, but this could be settled only
through court action, and | do not be-
lieve that there is time for such ac
ton; and neither do believe that
the situation warrants taking such
steps at the present time.
The fourth paragraph in your letter
is as follows: MANY school districts
in the state are taxed up to the limit,
and if this proposed new tax will raise
the tax levy over 10 mills then AN
ELECTION OF TAXPAYERS WITH
IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MUST
BE HELD TO VOTE THE INCREASE
IN TAXATION. If any school district
votes down the increased tax to be
paid into the teachers retirement fund,
then the proposed amendment will be
dead letter." This statement is not
correct according to the final draft of
the bill, because the bill provides spe-
officially that IF THE DISTRICT 10 |
MILL LEVY IS REQUIRED FOR
OTHER PURPOSES THEN THE
LEVY TO RAISE THE 31a9o OF THE
TEACHERS SALARIES MUST BE
MADE A SPECIAL LEVY IN ADD |
TION TO THE 10 MILLS. This levy |
is made without a vote of the people |
and is mandatory. Therefore, there is
no danger that the 31a 20 will become
an indirect assessment on the teach
ers' salaries. The total amount of
money to be raised by this 31a % is
approximately 100000. Approximate
ly one-third of this amount will be
raised for high school teachers and
on the countrywide basis, leaving an
estimated $150,00O to be raised by the
school districts. There were last year
almost $500 elementary teachers in
the state. Therefore, the amount to
