March Is Is
|Deadline To File
Tax Returns

Thomas M. Robinson, Collector
of Internal Revenue for h e
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
l947 are the same as for 1916.
and the law requires a return
from everyone, including a minor,
who had a gross income of $500. GO
or more during the year. The
fact that a PERSONS exemptions
may exceed h e amount of his
taxable income does not relieve
him from the obligation of filing
a return and disclosing his income
even though he may have no tax
liability.
Although moons tax may have
been withheld from your wages
or you may have made payments
on your estimated tax. you are
still required to file a final re-
turn and to report thereon your
income from all sources during
the entire year. On the final re-
turn your actual income tax IL
ability is determined, and credit
is claimed for payments already
made by Withholding or on esti-
mated tax for the year, and only
the excess, if any, need be paid.
If the prepayment credits exceed
your tax, you must file a return
to secure refund even though
your n come was less than
$4,000.
Because the number of deputy
collectors available for tax assist
ance has been greatly reduced,
Robinson urges taxpayers to try
to fill out their own returns, He
explained that most people, par
ticularly those who have income
including only salaries, dividends
and interest, should have little
difficulty if they read the forms
and accompanying instructions
carefully. However, for the bene-
fit of taxpayers who still need
assistance or advice and whose
income is involved, the Internal
Revenue Offices will do their best
to furnish prompt, courteous and
efficient service, which, of course,
is free of charge.

argue that this might be jeopar-
died If the Republicans nominate
anybody but Senator Vandenburs
or possibly Harold Stassen.
When the President and Mr.. Allen
join In an attempt Of their own to
kidnap Gen. Eisenhower, 1t under
lines again how stubborn is the con-
viction OF Democrats that the gen.
eral Is one Of them at heart. Mr.
Allen has said so and the New Deal
ers believe it firmly.
Washington is watching rather
sympathetically the Presidents ef-
forts at politicking. He Is profiting
from q general feeling that the
party has rather too freely target
practiced at his expense. There IL
evidence that the party thinks so
too-the steam has fallen in the
southern boilers, various state lead
ers have declared their fealty and
even mighty New York has tenn.

The President cannot be unawar,
that the calm Is illusory. Bronx
Boss Flynn is not for the Truman
denomination; he cannot be. th'
younger men on whom the Demo
Gratis must depend for rehabilitation
like Mayor O'Dwyer, Franklin
Roosevelt, jr.: Robert F. Wagner
jr. and others, cannot afford tn
luxury. Even if the elder Statesmen
like Messrs. Flynn and Fitzpatrick
prefer to go along and not struggle
the inheritors have a record t.
make with an anti-Truman publi
in New York.
That Spontaneous" anti Tru'
man demonstration which Nationa
Chairman McGrath encountered
at a Jackson Day dinner in Lo
Angeles was actually as spontaneou
as a Gromyko speech in the Unitet
Nations.
It had been predicted the weel
before, but the leaders did no
feel strong enough to stop or cir
cumvent it. Illinois has not back
traced either.
For the President, it Is still ,

dangling it before Gen. Eisenhower
as they relax in the Florida SUM-
shine.
Gen. and Mrs. Eisenhower and
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen, old cronies in
idle prewar hours, flew south last
week in Victor Emanuels private
plane. Mr.. Emanuel, utilities ty-
coon, put Mr.. Allen on the boards
of his companies during both this
and the Roosevelt administrations
and the Emanuel suite at the Carl
ton Hotel has been available through
the years to the large Allen circle OF
official friends.
Mr.. Allen stepped back into the
picture while National Chairman
McGrath was trying to fortify the
western redoubts against boarding
parties. Senator McGrath however
has clearly indicated that, appointed
by the President, he feels strong
obligation to be loyal to him. He
is expected therefore to fall in
with any plans the kitchen cabinet
may make, especially as the COM
mittee has no white rabbits of its
own to pull out of the hat at Phila-
delphia.
Presumably the lever to be ap-
piled on the present Secretary OF
State, Gen. Marshall. who has for
sworn all political ambitions, is the
need for a continuing Marshall Plan

If someone hadn't thought OF
hitch hiking, and Providence had
not equipped me with large and
durable thumb. I would have lived
at more race tracks than Seabiscuit
or Whirlaway.
In addition to breaking even, I
enjoyed q free lunch, thanks to
Jack Mackenzie. general manager
of this most delightful layout.
The track where I enjoyed such
huge success is Hollywood Park,
which Is not in Hollywood but is in
Inglewood. 1t does not open for
summer racing for another month
80 this, may I repeat, is the most
profitable time to visit race track.
Eastern Tracks Unsightly.
One day at Hollywood Park and
you wonder why New York tracks
have the daring to open. Eastern
tracks, as far as the public is con-
cerned, are built for inconvenience
and unsightliness. There is no place
to sit and no place to stand. AS for
natural beauty, anyone who enters a
New York track wearing a bouton-
Mere is Immediately placed In the
infleld and pointed out as q garden.
ALI you get at most Eastern tracks
is q dismal view and short prices.
Hollywood Park has seven lovely
lakes for q man to look at while his
betting choice stumbles in the back
stretch. When the horse he bet on
to win is beaten by q nose. he can
lift his own nose and inhale the
fragrance of acres Of gorgeous how-
ers. There is no such thing as
making losing pleasant, but at least
at Hollywood Park you can be un-
happy amid pleasant surroundings
Hollywood Park, like Santa Anita,
offers one of the most unusual
novelties of the American turf.
Drinking fountains are placed at
strategic points, and customer
can alleviate his thirst with water
for free. At Eastern tracks, q man
who believes in temperance had
better bring a canteen Of water be-
cause the only way he can slake his
thirst is with beer or stronger
beverages.

Let us return 70 the joys Of going

No Clear Answer Given.
The Russians have failed to give
q clear-cut answer on the return
of Trieste, although they have re-
fused to discuss the matter, at least
for the present. Last Friday nights
note to Russia. the third on the
subject, was simply a last-minute
clincher for the Western Allies
argument, reminding the Italians

ernment bloc, what the Allies will
do now to carry through this world
shaking proposal which put the
Communists so definitely on the
spot.
The question will remain for
American, British and French policy
makers what to do to secure the
return of Trieste to italy in the
face OF opposition from Soviet Rus
sia and Yugoslavia. They cannot
without serious risk Of dissillusion-
ing the italian people-simply for
get the matter and let it pass Is
Just another campaign maneuver.
Although 1t was considered in
evitable from the very first that
some revision of the Italian peace
treaty finally would become neces-
sary, there will be greater prospect
of winning Russia's consent to resto-
ration OF Trieste after the election
than there was before. As a matter
Of fact, If italy rejects the Com
munists, Russia will be even less
disposed to any charitable action
toward the Italians than If she
gains a position from which she can
still fight to dominate Italy.
Action Is Questioned.
What the Western Allies can do
to force Russia to agree to TTieste's
restoration is great question.
Certainly that portion Of the free
territory which is occupied by the
Yugoslavs is beyond restoration,
short of wartime decision against
the Soviet bloc.
1t would be possible, however, for
the Americans and British to re-
store the portion which they still
police, regardless of Russia's de-
nunciations and recriminations over
such an act. Restoration of the
American British zone could be
justified, however, on the grounds
that the wartime agreements be-
tween the Western Allies and
Russia have crumbled, and on the
additional ground that Russia has
stymied the selection of . governor
for the free territory.
The Americans and British al
ready have decided to allow q Ger
tain participation by Trieste civil
ians in the government Of the free
territory. Once a skeleton civilian
administration Is created the transi-
ton to italian rule would be little
more than q formality.

The high cost Of
not
seeing your attorney

Businessmen are accustomed
to having their contracts and con-
veyances drawn by their attorneys.
They know that document, to be
good, musrbe legal.
Your Will - embodying your
specific instructions about the
distribution of your property for
your family's future financial pro-
tection-is also a legal document.
As such it, too, should be drawn
by your lawyer and executed. in
accordance with the law under his
guidance. The fee you pay for your
attorneys services is money ,eeH
spent, since a homemade Will -
in which you might fail to express
your wishes properly = may be
worse than no Will at all in the

But suppose the thesis Is false7
Suppose the Russian leaders, be-
lieving-as their creed has taught
them-that war is inevitable" have
decided to strike now?
I must confess that IN the past
six weeks this ominous possibility
repeatedly has crossed my mind.
BY the time this column appears
when the week end is over-we
shall know more. We shall, at least,
know whether the Italian elections
have passed of quietly-or even
been held at all. In fact, how the
Russians and their Italian agents
accept these elections will indicate
whether they accept limits to their
expansion in Europe, or whether
they are prepared to breach them
by force.
Omnibus Moves Made.
Very ominous moves have been
made this spring-moves which are
only rational on the assumption
that Russia means war.
The Czechoslovak coup was en-
tirely irrational If Russia meant
peace. The Benes-Masaryk state
was Russias best show window to
the West.
But If Russia means war the
coup was not irrational but stra-
tegically essential. It means holding
the key point in the Danubiar
Basin, and strengthening the Rec
Army pincers around Austria and
the Russian zone Of Germany.
At the time Of Jan Masaryk'l
death, Guenther Reinkardt quoted
in an article I saw in the mid.
western press-a year-old conver.
sation, in which Mr.. Masaryk hac
said: Watch Jan Masaryk. If hi
should die suddenly, I'd start mov'
ing those 10000 American women
and children out of Germany"
Are the events in Berlin ant
the reports Of Russian troor
maneuvers only part of war o.
nerves.? Were the events in Bogots
part of a war Of nerves? Or wer'
they a dress rehearsal for Latin.
American risings related to . rea
war?
And was the Moscow word X
American Communists to form .
third party in the United States this
year-when Mr.. Wallace was himsel.
wavering-unrelated to war?
Can Russia Afford War?
The theory has been that "Russis
can't afford q war now"
Evening star., 1948-04-19
On the Record
Thesis That Russia Can't Afford War
Questioned in Light of Recent Events

But I ask myself: When could she
better afford it? A presidential
campaign always divides our coun-
try. The Wallace candidacy has
given American Communists plat
form from which to harangue the
people. The Marshall Plan has not
yet consolidated Europe American
military preparedness barely is be-
ginning.
And when have Russians con-
sidered what they could "afford?"
Apart from Lenin. not one of the
leading members Of the original Rus
sian revolutionary government be-
lieved they could afford" the
Bolshevist revolution. When, return.
ing from abroad, Lenin made hi.

complete break with the provisional
government and with all "oppor-
tunists" and q strike for total power
he left his comrades gasping. But
the feminist program prevailed-at
the cost of four years Of the
bloodiest, most brutal civil war In
history, coming atop the war weari-
ness of three years OF world war.
II the Russians strike, they are
not likely to strike in one place
(Pearl Harbor pattern) but in sew
eral, and by various means and ac-
tions. Their object will be to keep
us whirling on our wheels wonder
ing where and what to defend.
Then will come the test of the
coolness, courage and faith Of our
people.
Perhaps 1t will not happen. But
this spring I have begun seriously
to doubt the thesis that Russia does
not want war.

20 Bars is It

Of particular interest to this
area is the 1947 law that attempts
to apportion the number of bars
in an area on the basis of pop
ulation.
Naturally the owners of tav-
ems favor such legislation. 1t keeps
out more competition. Passage of
1947 law automatically increased
the value of each of their proper
ties. 1t had benefit factors in pro-
viding more stability for each ex-
listing operator, and on the other
hand made him more careful in
such matters as selling liquor to
minors-he could lose his license
with no privilege of regaining it.
Actually most of the bars in this
area have been fine; they're good
neighbors.
Personally we admire Senator
Moss, though we think his ideas
for having a limit on number of
bars too idealistic-somethin like
prohibition. We further doubt linn
iting the number of businesses is
in line with American free enter
prise.

wonder what folks would think
of this weekly, the Hungry Horse
News if we responded to these
constant pressures we receive to
keep certain law violators' names
out of print.
We cannot be honest as al
American newspaper, and then
sort out the names of drunken
drivers and poachers to deter
mine whose should be printed, and
who should not.
That is the job of a court Or
jury at the time the case is heard.
One of our foremost wishes for
1949 is that men convicted of law
violations will stop considering us
another court.
We believe it is in the public
interest that few lines be printed
as to men convicted of driving
under the influence of Intoxicating
liquor. People as a whole con-
slider such men a threat to life,
limb and property. Hence the GUS
tomary $3.50 fine and years loss
of drivers license.
Then there are the major game
violations. One of northwestern

If we were a tavern operator
we would be in favor of the 1947
law. AS a newspaper, we are
ashamed of the state liquor board
for the way they have enforced it..
Right or wrong it is Montana law.
We resent constant implications
that $500 placed in the right Ii
quor board inspectors palm would
get a license. We hope Governor
elect John w Bonner's liquor con-
troll setup is not SO maligned.
We doubt that this coming sess-
ion of the legislature will repeal
the restrictions. For interested in
its continuance are the present
bars and naturally the dry ele-
ments.
We don't believe a law infring-
ing on free enterprise and protect
ing select few should have been
passed. However once it is a Mon
tana law it should be enforced. It
was written to mean that there
would be so many bars for so many
thousand people, and the sponsors
had the Hungry Horse area par
ticularly in mind. MR. |
