New Year Marks the
Birth of Great Men

JANUARY l has marked the birth
- of no less than three prominent
Americans who have played a vital
role in the development of their
country.
Of the three, Paul Revere is the
most famous. Born in 1735 to a
French goldsmith named Rivors,
who had changed it to Revere, Paul
followed in his fathers footsteps to
become one of the leaders of the
metalware industry in the infant re-
public. But his, chief distinction, Of
course, lay in his historic midnight
ride of ITS to warn the New Eng
land countryside that the Redcoats
were coming.
''Mad Anthony" Wayne, one Of
the most colorful figures in Ameri-
can history, was born on New
Years Day in 1745 in Chester Coun-
ty, Pa. A relentless and aggressive
fighter, he distinguished himself
at Brandywine, Germantown and
White Marsh in the Revolutionary
war, and then aided in subduing the
Indians in the west to permit the
settlement of the new country be-
yond the Alleghenies.
MI W YEARS Day, 1852, Betsy
Ross was born Elizabeth Girls
com in Philadelphia, Pa. She mar
ried the merchant Ross and aided
him in the upholstery business,
gaining wide recognition for her
attractive materials and skillful
shapes. Washington, Franklin and
Adams were among the Ross Gus
toners, so when the Continental
Congress of 1777 resolved that a flag
symbolizing the thirteen colonies be
made, Betsy's friends at court had
her commissioned for the work.

.IAsHINGToN QUITS

Ir is a strange paradox that the
4 same men who offer their lives
to their country In time of war
won't sacrifice a few dollars, or
political advantage, TO save their
country In peace time. Some of the
men In Washington who today are
playing politics with the "Great
Decentralization" wear medals
for valor won ON the field of battle
in defense Of this nation. President
Truman himself, by no means the
least of these offenders, served with
honor and distinction through the
first World War. Today they fiddle
for the 1913 votes while America
burns. Nor are the anti-infation
farces, now being played by both
the Government and the Republican
opposition, being digested by the
1913 voters.
But business could lick infIa-
ton! So could union labor!
Combined they could stop it
quickly. If union labor, instead
of threatening new wage de-
mands, would make the fiat
statement that these demands
were tout" and that production
would be speeded up, provided
industry will check the rise in
their prices and, wherever COM
patible with good economics, will
begin to lower prices-the in
flatiOn back would be broken
and industry wouldn't need to
raise prices any more and
wouldn't dare do il. ,
And If that powerful triumvirate-
business, capital and industry man
agement-made the fiat statement
that they were going to begin to cut
prices, even If they had to lower
dividends, they wouldn't have to ask
labor to forego wage raises.
It's just as easy as that! And if
today, we had with us some of those
hard boiled old giants like j. P.
Morgan, Geo. F. Baker, James j.
Hill and E. H. Hartman, not to
mention that great labor leader
Samuel Compensatory could show
us how to do it-and they would!
There must be some giants some
where today!
Russia takes ten dollars from its
citizens and gives them back one.
What's the difference-if we will
have to pay ten dollars for one dol
lars worth of merchandise? In one
case some slave owners take the
money from their chattel; in the
other case the leaders of govern
ment, business, labor and industry
haven't the knowhow, or the CUTS. to
prevent the same outcome.

First to Celebrate
NeaU Years Day

Chatham islands, New Zealand, is
the first place in the world to cele-
brate New Year. A British colony,
the islands are inhabited by 200 per-
sons, largely shepherds.
The islands are at the nearest
starting line of time, and when New
Year arrives it is only IL noon in
London and a. m. in New York.
AS it dawns on the islands, the
New Year begins its race westward
along the equator at speed of 1000
miles an hour. By the time New
Workers gather to ring in the new
year, the islanders are sitting down
to dinner.

Before going to bed on New
Years Eve a Syrian child sets out a
bowl of water and a dish of wheat
for the refreshment of the camel
who is supposed to bring him gifts.
According to legend the camel was
the youngest of the animals bearing
the Wise Men, and it fell down ex-
hausted by the strenuous journey.
The Christ Child, seeing this,
blessed the animal and conferred
Immortality upon it. In Lebanon it
is "magic mule" who bears the
gifts of the season.

Italy
Celebration of New Years Day
seems to have arisen in Italy in the
early Middle Ages. In the year SAG
a bishop reproved his people for the
drinking, feasting, and general wild
time that they were indulging in on
a holy day-the Feast of the Cir
cumcision of Christ, eight days
after Christmas. He told them to
turn their backs on ''the old, profane
and evil ways of paganism." In the
later Middle Ages the observances
of the day grew more spiritual,
through the efforts of ST. Gregory
Thaumaturgus and St. Gregory the
Great.

The Browning FLA basketball
team ecame champions of

resulted in eliminations as to pit
Browning finally against Simms,

The victory was sweet since it
was the Simms team that elm
mated Browning last year.
As Browning plays very little

Yet
Failed To File
Tax Returns

A large number of State In
come tax returns are yet to be
filed, according to L. C.. Burns,
head of the Income Tax Depart,
ment of the State Board of Equal.
ization at Helena.
This means last minute rush
in which many will be overlooked
until it is too late. Unfortu-
nately, many taxpayers prepare
their returns early, file them
away and forget to mail them be-
fore the deadline.
Many of the returns are never
discovered until next income tax
filing season. In the meantime,
interest and penalties of II per
cent have accrued.
The Board of Equalization has
no authority to waive or set aside
these extra charges, even though
the taxpayers may have acted in
good faith, with the best of in
tentions to file the return before
it became delinquent.
The Board has mailed forms to
the IS. 900 taxpayers who filed re-
turns for 1916. The instructions
enclosed with each of these re-
turns will enable most Taxpayers
to determine whether or not a
return should be filed.
Those who filed no 1916 return
will not be on the mailing list
and will receive no blank forms
unless they request them. Failure
to receive a form will not relieve
any taxpayer from the obligation
of filing return required by law.
A large number of new arrivals
coming into the state during the
year are concerned about how to
file their returns. This involves
the filing of a fractional return.
All income received from sources
in Montana should be included as
income.
