Farmers must file federal in.

Jan. Is, 1949, according to Thorn.
as Robinson, collector of intern
al revenue for the district OF
Montana.
Most other business and pro-
f~essional men were required to
file a declaration of estimated
tax for 1913 on form 1040ES by
last March and to pay their esti-
mated tax in quarterly installs-
ments, the last payment of which
is due by Jan. Is, 1949. Farm
ers, or those who expect to re-
ceive at least two-thirds of their
income from farming operations,
are given the privilege of post
poning the filing of a declaration
of estimated tax until Jan. Is,
1949, but they must then pay
their estimated tax in full.
The Jan. Is filing date should
not be confused with the March
Is filing date, Robinson said.
March Is is still the final date
for filing a final and complete
return on form 1040. Even
though an estimated return is
filed by Jan. Is, a final return
must still be filed by March
Is. However, farmers may save
themselves the trouble of filing
two returns. an estimated return
by Jan. Is and a final return
by March Is, if they file their
return on form 1040 and pay
their tax in full by Jan. Is, 1949.

Bark|ey Flies 10 Idaho
To Aid Miller, Needing
Help in Senate Fight
BY the Assoeioted Press

EN- ROUTE WITH SENATOR
BARKLEY TO IDAHO. Oct. g.
Senator Barkley pointed his noun
hopping airborne campaign to
Idaho today to try to help elect
Democrat Bert H. Miller to the Sem
ate in place of Republican Henry c.
Dworshak.
Aides on his flying drive through
the Northwest and West admitted
that the Democratic vice presiden-
tial nominee will have tough time
trying to raise the Truman-Barkley
standard in the home State Of Glen
H. Taylor, running-mate of Henry
A. Wallace.
Mr.. DworShak was elected to the
Senate in 1916 for a short term by
a vote of los 900 to $4,000. Two
years previously, Franklin D. Roose-
welt carried the state by 100000 to
100000 over Gov. Dewey. That was
the year in which Senator Taylor
was elected to the Senate by 5000
vote margin.
Senator Barkey scheduled only
one speech in Idaho, tonight at
Boise. His plans called for a
speech earlier at the University Of
Montana in Missoula. 1t will be
the third Montana talk for Senator
Barkley in his drive to help keep
Democratic Senator James E. Muir
ray of Montana in Office for six more
years.
Senator Murray is facing tough
opposition from Republican Tom j.
Davis, Butte attorney. But Senator
Barkley said after yesterdays
speeches at Lewistown and Butte,
Il think Jim Murray is in. I don't
see how the people of Montana can
vote against him in view of his
splendid record"
At Butte last night, Senator
Barkley referred to Senator Murray
as "a 100 per cent Democrat and
100 per cent liberal"
1T is no wonder" he said, that
he is the target Of the small but
powerful economic group which
seeks to control the United States
through its control of the leader
ship of the Republican Party"
Accusing the Republican Party of
evasion and hypocrisy" in the ma
tional political campaign, Senator
Barkley said the COP record shows
clearly that Republicans are not
friendly to labor, agriculture, rec
lamation, irrigation and other pro-
grams for general public good.

Lastly, neither at home nor
abroad should anyone overlook
certain broader significances of
what has happened. The draft
act represents clearly a victory
for the nonpartisan f or Ell 6 n
policy. 1t offers little comfort to
the isolationists or to wishful-
thinking pacifists. It must not be
viewed apart from the huge sums
voted the armed forces. And, per-
haps most meaningful of all, a
military draft in peacetime is an
open declaration that Americans
are sufficiently aroused to break
a tradition as old as the nations
history. Christian Science Mon

THE PEACETIME DRAFT

After what went on in congress
during the last hectic hours of
the session, any Selective Service
legislation at all looks good-at
least, to the cry considerable
number of Americans who believe
a quietly strong United States
for the foreseeable future is one
of the absolute requisites to a free
and peaceful world. In the short
perspective of three days, what
balance can be struck out of the
struggle over this issue?
On the loss side there is no use
blinking the fact that the strange
alliance of the extreme right and
the | e f has advertised to the
world that Americans do not
speak out with one voice on the
matter of national defense. That
may not be news, but it is too
bad to underline it.
The d r a law, furthermore,
takes no fortnight action toward
building a reserve. Youngsters
can volunteer for training, with
certain inducements. But reserve
manpower needs are in no way
underwritten.
On the side of the 6 in S, it
should be said that within these
limitations the act is not a W e a k
one. The 90-day delayed-action
feature is, no d o u b t, a sop to
political expediency. But, as
General Omar Bradley says, it
would "a k e that long for the
machinery to get going anyway.
The p al of service required
(21 months) does not fall so far
short of two years hoped f o as
to be damaging. The President is
given powers to see that industry
plays ball on defense production
and at a fair price.
