JAM. Il FOR FILING
INCOME ESTIMATES

Thomas M. Robinson, collector
of internal revenue for the Mon
tana district, has reminded tax
payers that Monday. Jan. II, will
be the deadline for filing declar-
ations of estimated tax for 1913.
The final date normally is Jan.
Is, but since that date falls on
Saturday this year, the filing per-
iod is automatically extended to
the next official workday.
Collector Robinson explained
that this filing date is of es-
pecial Importance to farmers
since they were excused by law
from filing their 1913 declara-
lions until this time. The date
is also important to many bust
ness and professional persons, in
vestors, self-employed, and simil-
ar taxpayers who were required
to file declarations last spring,
but who now want to change
their estimates by filing amend
ed declarations. Most wage earn
ers whose pay is subject to with
holding are not required to file
declarations since the withhold
ing substantially covers their in
come tax, although some wage
earners with large salaries or
supplemental non-salary income
are required to file declarations.
He also pointed out that many
of these taxpayers can "kill two
birds with one stone" by filing
their final 1913 income tax re-
turns instead of a declaration. A
farmer required to file an origin
al declaration or a businessman
desiring to file an amended de-
claration at this time can sub
stitute his regular return on form
1040, which he might otherwise
wait to file on March Is. If
he files his return and pays the
tax in full by Jan. II, he can
save the task of preparing and
filing the 1913 declaration or
amended declaration which is due
then.

ADDITIONAL BEET
PAYMENT GOES To
GROWERS JAN. %
Local District To Receive
S1.20 Per Ton On Average
Sugar Content, Sliced

Denver, Jan. 12.-Recent i'm
provement in the sugar market
brings an announcement now OF
81, 90S,802 that will go to farm
ers Jan. % as first additional
payment on the 1913 sugar beet
crop. Frank A. Kemp, president,
made the announcement today.
In Colorado, Nebraska and
Wheatland, Wyo., the payment
will vary with individual sugar
content, amounting to $1.07 per
ton for beets testing 16 per cent
sugar, and SO cents for Is per
cent beets.
In the Billings, Mont, and
Lowell, Wyo., districts, each
grower will receive $1.20 per ton,
based on average sugar content
of beets sliced.
The time and amount of any
further additional payments will
depend on the level of prices re-
ceived and the rapidity of sale
of the 1913 sugar. Not until all
sugar from 1948 beets has been
sold in accordance with the beet
contract, can final net return
determining total payment to the
known.
Kemp said that the raw sugar
market had taken a firmer tone
and that all refined prices had
advanced rs cents per 100 pounds

secretary of agriculture Dec. %

While l am making no predic-

TRADE NO ONE-WAY STREET

In 1948 the United States sold $12 900 900 900 worth

900 worth from other nations.
Commenting on these figures, Secretary of Com
merce Charles Sawyer points out that this cannot go
forever because the only way other countries can
pay for goods products is to sell goods and
services or else borrow money from the Government
of the United States a ...
It should be obvious to every American that when
The Nome nugget., 1949-06-24

persuade the people of this country follow given
course.
Upon analysis, the statement implies that smart ndi
VidualS using their ntellectS, stir up popular emo
tons to gain their desired ends 1t should be noted that
the people, who ACT according to emotional Stimuli
but tools which handled by clever brains The ind
vidual whose conduct decision is fashioned a
suit of his emotional response is like fish that follows
the bait without seeing the hook.
Let imagine that people, sWayed by emotions
rule this country This is mistake The nation is ruled
by the clever few who have the to create stua
tons which result in emotional reactions. Back of the
popular emotion, however expressed, master-mind
that take advantage of the nature of human beings to
secure definite, specific result.
The appeal to the emotions, rather than to the intel
lect characteristic of political campaigns This
is true whether the election embraces small
the entire nation The result of the balong, unorun
aely often reflects the emotional state Of the citizens
of the rather than the intelligent judgment of the
voters This is to be regretted but the remedy is not to
be found in denunciaton of the tactics Of smart lead
erS.
In fact the observation will continue to be true until
the individual voters become thoroughly conscious of
emotional appeals and integently guard against pre-
cptous decisions along obviously inspired lines. This
presupposes, the part of the voter, intelligence
equal to that of the master-nd behind the emotional
strategy.
This may be too much to expect at the present stage
of civilization in this country but later if de-
mocracy is to survive and representative government
flourish, the millions of ballots in the nation must be
cast the basis of reasoned judgment rather than
a result of emotional flare-ups.
