File Tax Returns Now;
Avoid Deadline Rush

THOMAS M. ROBINSON, col
lector of internal revenue for the
Montana district announced that
final federal income tax returns for
the calendar year 1947 must be filed
on or before March Is, 1913, and he
urged all taxpayers to file returns
as soon as possible in order to avoid
the last minute rush.
The rates and exemptions for 194T
are the same as for 1916, and the
law requires a return from every
one, including a minor, who had a
gross income of $500 or more during
the year. The fact that a persons
exemptions may exceed the amount
of his taxable income does not re-
lieve him from the obligation OF
filing a return and disclosing his in
come even though he may have no
tax liability.
Because the number of deputy
collectors available for tax assist
ance has been greatly reduced, col
lector Robinson urges taxpayers to
try to fill out their own returns.
However, for the benefit of tax
payers who still need assistance OF
advice and whose income is in
volved, the internal revenue offices
will do their best to furnish prompt,
courteous and efficient service,
which of course is free of charge.
Services will be offered to the
public at internal revenue offices To-
Gated in the following cities: Ana
conda, Billings, Bozeman, Butte,
Cut Bank, Glasgow, Glendive, Great
Falls, Havre, Helena, Kalispell,
Lewistown, Miles City, Missoula and
Plentywood.
Collector Robinson further stated
that a declaration of estimated tax
for 1948 must also be filed on or
before March Is, 1913, by business
and professional men and others
whose income during 1913 from
sources other than wages subject to
withholding is expected to amount to
$500 or more.

1911 900 cattle on hand. This total
was $4,000 smaller than one year
earlier, but the value of the cattle
was $235,430.000.
The inventory showed these cur
rent totals, with the decline in COM
p~arison with one year previously:
Milk cows, $4,000 and 13,000; beef
cows, 715,O0O and $4,000; sheep and
lambs, 2,217, 600 and 49, 900; hogs,
$4,000 and 10000; horses, 171,000
and $4,000; chickens, 1885, 900 and
$4,000; turkeys, $4,000 and 10000.
The sheep inventory included:
294,00 being fed for market, COM
pared with 100000 last year; 1925
900 stock sheep, compared with
100000 n year ago; ewes one
year old or more, $4,000, COM
pared with 1862, 900.
More chicks Observation-Disclosures of
chicks Matched by commercial hatch
cries in Montana during January
amounted to $4,000, a sizeable in
crease over the 1000 Matched during
the same month in 1947. January
chick numbers, however, were down
5000 from the 1942-46 average of
10000, the BAE said.

to educate growers and agricultural

Ask support changes - Tentative

Ask support changes - Tentative
draft of a bill providing a long
range farm program calls for these
two main changes in the present
system of supporting prices:
l.. Changing the method of calcu-
lating the ~so-called parity price for
various farm commodities.
2. Revising the way Of applying
the parity to determine what price
the government will guarantee the
farmer for a particular commodity.
Parity price-under both the pres
ent system and the new proposal
is the amount of money farmers
must get for their products SO they
will have the same purchasing pow
er in terms of what the farmer has
to buy in the way of clothes, shoes,
ETC., as they did in a ~so-called base
period.
Parity Calculation
Two major changes would be
made in the method of calculating
parity. The base period would be a
moving one" of the preceding 10
years. 1t now is 1909-1914 for most
farm commodities.
The cost of hired labor would be
added as a factor in figuring cost
of things farmers must buy. 1t is
not considered now. In using parity
to support farm prices, the govern
ment now guarantees the former a
fixed percentage of parity for each
unit of a particular crop. For most
crops, it is 80 percent-the mini
mum set by law. The national total
income of farmers is not considered.
Sliding Scale
The proposed plan calls for a
sliding scale of government support
prices, depending on the available
supply of a particular crop. The new
support price would range from so
to 80, or maybe even 100 percent
of parity. 1t would go down as the
supply-carryover plus current pro-
duction-of a particular commodity
goes up.
When crops are short, the support
price would be high. When there
are big crops, the support price
would be reduced. This is not done
under the present system.
Advocates believe this flexible use
of parity prices would result in
stabilizing both farm income and
production. For the last 20 years
farm income has averaged around
IS percent of the total national in
come.

LOS ANGELES OPP - In
dorsement of Democratic Repre-
sentative Chef Holifield, up for
reelection in the 10Th district,
was announced here by the In
dependent Progressive Party,
thus removing one of the most
frequent criticisms leveled at the
new party.
At the same time, the Progress
sives announced withdrawal of
their candidate, Jack Berman,
and said t h e i r decision was
made after consultation with
many non-political groups in the
district who are interested in
progressive issues"
The Progressives' decision to
campaign for Holifield was be-
lieved to foreshadow similar &C
ton in the 18th district where
Democratic Representative Helen
Gahagan Douglas is running for
reelection. IPP candidate Sid
ney Moore was named to oppose
Mrs. Douglas in the primaries
after she Join e d HolifieId in

sitdOwn strike to destroy price
control. Although the admins
tration had ample knowledge of
the tremendous power" of the
meat trust to rig prices and con-
troll supply pipelines, it did moth
ing to attack that monopoly
power.
Instead, the administration
capitulated to the meat trust and
gave it green light to gouge
consumers by destroying price
control on meat. Its failure to
act against the meat trust con-
trasted strongly with the strong
arm methods it used to break
the railroad strike a few months
previously in the spring of
1916.
The administration is aware
of the resentment of the people
against exorbitant meat prices.
1t has therefore conveniently
discovered the existence of the
meat trust and it's monopoly
operations. 1t has proposed to
split Armour and Swift into five
separate companies each, and
Wilson and Cudahy into two
each-a total of IA companies.
But the prediction can be made
with mathematical certainty
as the cOlumnists specializing in
forecasts like to say-that moth
ing will happen to the meat
trust. Years will elapse before
the issue is finally determined
by the Supreme Court, if it ever
gets there at all. And the ex-
ample of the oil trusts dissolu-
ton in the early years of the
century proves that trust-split-
ting does not work. The mo-
nopOly functions just as effec-
lively against the public interest
after the split-up.
Meanwhile, the packers say
that meat prices will be even
higher next year than at present
That indicates how little wor-
ried they are over the suit that
has been filed against them. That
also shows the real objective of
the anti trust suite get votes,
not to lower meat prices.

fat at the expense of farmers,

The operation of the monopoly
in meat is not exactly news. But
this is an election year and
h o u wi i've are complaining
about the sky-high prices of
meat So the Justice Department
in mid September suddenly dis
covered the meat trust and was
Mortified at its Vaccinations.
For the record-and the record
Only-the Justice Department
filed civil antitrust suit
against the Big Four, charging
them with suppressing cOmpeti-
ton in the sale of meat and
meat products. The complaint
in the suit outlined the methods
used to fix prices and control
distribution, methods that have
been exposed repeatedly in pre-
vi0us Investigations.
These methods include con-
trolling the supply of meat
which each of the Big Four OBJ
tains for sale by regulating the
amount of livestock each will
purchase; utilizing uniform for
mulas to determine IL in 6
prices; selling at loading"
rather than delivered" weights;
selling at identical prices and
terms of sale
The Big Four, incidentally,
accounted for 500 of the cattle,
$40 of the hogs, $50 of the
calves and 1870 of the sheep
slaughtered under federal in
spection during the past 10
years.
The Antitrust Division of the
Justice Department pointed out
that since 1898 there has been
an absence of effective competi-
ton among the Big Four meat
packing companies. They
possess SUCH tIeIlelluOIiS power
to suppress competition and the
systematic use of that power is
so deeply imbedded in their
whole method of doing business,
that nothing less than the de
struction of that power can pro-
vide an opportunity for any real
or effective competition in the
sale of meat or the purchase of
livestock"
This admission is particularly
interesting in the light of what
President Truman's administra-
ton did two years ago. At that
time. the meat trust went on a
