Some day an enterprising merchant
will cast tiny statue of Fred Mac
Murray for the end monkey in the
See Hear-Speak no Evil figurine
sets, we decided today.
MacMurray beats the monkeys
all to pieces. He just doesn't speak
at all, except for pictures, and to
say 9too much. or mot enough in
a business deal.
His idea is simple. Hes never
seen anything written about him
that he liked and he doesn't think
anybody is going to surprise him
now.
He sees and hears plenty, but
what comes out is nothing, and It
makes the fellow who thought up
silence is golden" look like
sharp prophet.
Every year the salary figures are
posted. And every year Mc-Mur-
ray is right up there at the top,
saying nothing except -four hun
bred and five thousand, four hun.
dred and six thousands, four hun
dred and -" but you catch on.
He acts for the cameras, and
does smooth, effortless job. The
last man who tried to get MacMur-
ray to look like he was eyerting
himself. found MacMurray saying
nothing in a loud sort of way.
MacMurray thinks he might
have got that way from spendi"g
so much time as a saXophone play
err in a band.
Il had to keep my mouth shot

mouth again TO illustrate.

so later he got around to going

BY JAMES NARROW

Remember Jan. 'l5. It's an i'm.
portant day for about Is million
taxpayers. 1t affects you II:
!. You were single and made
more than 5000 in 1914 or were
married and made more than $500
and did not have the full income
tax withheld from your wages or
salary during the year.
%. You were not subject to with
holding taxes but had income other
than wages or salary. This would
include shopkeepers, landlords. pro.
fessional men and women.
g. You are a farmer.
The date. is important TO those
people because:
Those who made quarterly in
come tax payments in 1914 on 1914
income must make their final pay
ment by Jan. Is.
Those who have to make an
amended declaration on their esti.
mated tax on 1914 income must do
it by Jan. Is and pay the tax, too.
Most farmers-because they were
not required Todd not make any
tax payments or tax estimates last
year on their 1914 income. But by
Jan. Is they must file their est.
mate on the 1914 tax-and pay IT,
Here's the explanation:
All the people in group No. l.
from whose wages the full tax was
not withheld-by last April IS had
to file an estimate on the total tax
they figured would be due on their
1914 income.
Then they arranged to pay the
balance due-oyer and above the
tax taken from their wages in
quarterly installments. starting last
April Is and ending Jan. Is.
All the people in group No. .
from whose income no tax was TAX
en-also by last April - had to file
an estimate on the total tax they
figured would be due on their 1914
income.
They arranged 10 pay that full
tax in the same, quarterly Install
ments. also.
II they did not underestimate
their total tax by more than 20
per cent, then on Jan. Is people in
groups ! and just pay their fourth
and final installment.

on The News

They don't have to fill out any
returns until March IS when ev.
erybody-and this includes those
from whose wages the full tax was
taken-has to file a final return
on his income and taxes for 1914
ct is through this March Is re
turn that final adjustments are
made. You find then you owe the
government a few dollars more or
that the government owes you some
refund.)
But some people in groups No. /
and No. above for various rea-
sons-now find that they underes-
timated their total 1914 tax by
more than 20 per cent.
There is a penalty for this unless
by Jan. Is they file what is called
amended declaration OF estimated
tax for 1914. They do this on the
same kind OF form-10i0-ES--that
they used in making their original
estimate last April Is.
They fill II out, showing what
they now find their total 1914 tax
should be, write amended across
the top OF II. and send 1t in to their
internal revenue collector.
But with 1t they must send the
full tax payment. II would work
like this: (
Last April John Jones estimated
his 1914 tax would be 500 above
and beyond what would be with
held. He arfNpged to pay this In
quarterly instaHments Of s25. He
has paid three installments. The
fourth and final one is due Jan.
Is.
But he now finds he underesti-
mated that his total tax above
Withholding should be $3.50. Soto
gether with his amended declara-
tion-he send in that additional
$50. plus the s25 installment due.
So-the only people who have
to worry about filling out forms by
Ian. Is are the farmers and the
people with the amended declara'
lions.
The latter can save themselves
some worry, il they wish. Instead
OF filling out the amended declara-
ton C1040-ES) and then on March
IS filling out the final return (form
1040), they can save paper work.
