More Tax Returns
Farmers

"Many more tax returns from
farmers will be received this
year" stated Thomas NJ. Robin
son. District Director of Internal
Revenue for the State of Montana.
This is true because the cover-
age of farm operators by social
security will require a tax re-
turn from every farmer who
nets as much as S400 from his
farming, even if no income tax
is payable. Tax return forms for
farmers may be secured by writ
ing the District Director of In
ternal Revenue, P. 0. Box lit,

Farmers should keep ade-
quate records in order to be able
to file complete tax returns"
Robinson added.

two diesel engines totalling 500
horsepower and driving the axles
directly rather than through an
electric motor.
With this power the RDC from q
standing start can reach 81 miles an
hour in one mile, can owe the first
five miles in five minutes, and can
reach a top speed well over 80 miles
an hour. Light weight of the stain
less steel unit is a key to this per-
Torrance as it is, along with the
disc brake, in RDC's ability to stop
fast-down from IS miles an hour
to zero in $500 feet
Such technical data give even q
layman an idea Of some reasons why
the public the country over has ac-
cepted RDC Enthusiastically. 1t is a
versatile instrument of transporta-
ton, representing almost as much a
revolution in railroading as the gen.
eral adoption of diesel locomotives
to replace the steam Iron Horse,
fast fading from the national scene.
Railroad management on a Mgni-
icant number of lines obviously Is
well-pleased with RDC, with special
reference to lowered operating
costs, minimum and easy mainte-
nance, high utilization and an oppor-
tunity to offer better service to the
travelling public The uses vary
widely from introduction Of the
Budd cars in commuter schedules to
the reopening of long-abandoned
passenger services where conven-
tional passenger trains fell far short
of paying their way.
Many of the railroad users of
RDC have found it economical and
practical to use them not only as
single units but in multiples up to
as many as six cars in a train. Each
car continues to be self-propelled,
and the train can be broken up at
appropriate junction points into
smaller multiples and reassembled
on the return trip into the larger
original train. The cars may be
operated from either end, requiring
no turntable or wye for reversing
the movement.
From the outset of the develop
ment tnere was some lear IN n
mind of management that railroad
labor might object strenuously
enough to the RDC to Illustrate its
economical use. That fear now has
been largely dissipated.
In an official railroad labor publ
cation an engineer on a road using
RDC points out that addition OF
passenger mileage to the railroads
schedules by use of RDC actually
0 runs and more jobs for
engineers and other personnel.
THE writer has run these cars
since the first day they were placed
in service" he continues. "The
glamour of the steam engine is miss
ing of course, but this equipment is
efficient and is doing a wonderful
job in commuter service. 1t is put
ting passenger traffic back on the
rails, where it belongs"
That praise from the mouth of a
man doing the daily job OF running
the equipment on a major railroad
sums up much of the feeling of
labor, management and the public
w~ithrespect to The Budd Co.

with two Montana hospitals, gov

contracts YER signed by nurses
working in Northern Pacific hos

and by the Northern Pacific Ben

ates those institutions.
The MSNA president said many
nurses have left Montana IN the

the generally accepted minimum

SELF RDC's
~REVTTALIZE PASSENGER
SERVICE
BY Fred Staufe

We'll mis- the whistles This
terse comment on the introduction
of self-propelled Rail Diesel Car pas
senger service on an eastern rail-
road was about the only adverse
finding Of the public concerning the
innovation.
The car which drew the comment
h the Budd Rail Diesel Car, RDC
for short, which in a space of five
years has sold itself to the passen-
gers and the arrangements of 20
railroads throughout the United
States and four foreign countries.
RDC is strictly a postwar devel-
opment, first publicly shown at the
Chicago Railroad Fair in 1949,
demonstrated to IS railroads in
thirty states, and first adopted for
American use by the New York
Central System on its Boston &
Albany line in 1850.
Wartime development Of a small
but powerful diesel engine for tanks,
similar development of a torque
converter drive, and application of
disc braktng to railroad cars were
principal mechanical elements
seized upon by The Budd Co. in ere
aunn OF the RDC. The company,
working against its long and sue
cessfsl background of stainless steel
passenger car building, set out to
combine such elements in a stand
ardized, self-propelled passenger a
that would sell itself to the public
and the railroads fighting against a
deluge OF red ink in the passenger
traffic figures.
The result was q unit on which
initial cost is relatively low
$l69, 500 for the 89-seat RDC-1,
operating costs down as much as
80 per cent from conventional
trains, and public acceptance wide
enough to bring new traffic to the
railroads as well as hold thepld.
Wherever a "Beeliner," a Shore
liner" n "Highliner," a Zephyr
ette," or a "Railiner" (aI special
railroad names for RDC) has made
its appearance on q roads sched-
ules there has been public and man
agement clamor, even demand, for
more of the same. And customers of
less-favored roads, particularly in
commuter areas, have looked on
OBVIOUSLY as schedules and service
OF competing roads improved with
use of the RDC.
From the public's standpoint the
advantages Of RDC over the older
steam trains or conventional diesel
hauled coaches are many-fast, de-
and more frequent service
in an air-conditioned, wide-win-
comfortable seat car away
the hazards of driving a private
automobile on the parallel highway.
Specifically, RDC is made in
lhree passenger-carrying models
and one all mail and baggage model.

REMOVED ON
POLIO VACCINE:

HELENA - Montana physicians
and pharmacies this week were mott
fled by the State Board of Health
that reflective Immediately all age
group limitations are removed regard
ing the use of commercial supplies of
polio vaccine"
In making the announcement DR..
Carlyle Thompson, executive officer
of the State Board of Health, pointed
out that because of the wording of
the Act of Congress regarding pub
lie vaccine furnished through federal
funds, such vaccine continues to be
restricted to pregnant women and
persons under age 20"
Continued reporting of all vaccine
handled by physicians and pharmacies
is of great value to Montana, and will
be continued throughout 1856 polio
myelitis season, as recommended by
the Montana Poliomyelitis Advisory
Committee.
The Montana Polio Advisory Com
mittee is composed of representatives.
of the Montana Medical Association,
the Montana Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton and the Montana Parent-Teacher
Association, is:
"While it is unlikely at this late
date in the year for Montana to ex-
perience a polio outbreak in 1885,"
DR.. Thompson said, "it is still pos
sible. Continued emphasis on immuni-
cation for the most susceptible group
that is under 20 years and preg-
nant women-is important"
ct is especially important that
polio vaccinations be initiated this
fall for all of those who have not
yet had their first dose, if they are
to obtain a booster effect before
the 1857 polio season, using the
optimal schedule (the three-dose
method)."
1t is estimated, according to actual
physician reports received by the
State Board of Health, that 400 of
the eligible persons (persons under

the legislative processes.
The fate of the gas refunds for
farmers (even now moot constitu-
tional question were it ever taken to
the courts) will indeed be in doubt.
The courts say ow the tax is a
license on the gas station and should
the refund be tested in the courts
they would be hard put to justify it,
because actually it is not a tax for
use of the highway, therefore how to
justify refund for non-highway use
Perhaps the biggest reason the re-
funds continue today is public pres
sure from rural Montana. Once the
money is tied down by constitutional
provision one of the first tests made
could be on the refund, and it could
go. The farmers would have no demo-
cratic recourse to protest.
You may figure all of this is fine.
But it bothers me. I'm not sure I'm
ready to accept the finality and revo-
lutionary trend this constitutional
amendment will bring to our whole
concept of government until it has
been discussed in the public forum
to a greater extent and upon the real
issues which are presented by 1t.
