Extend tax deadline
by filing IRS form
Taxpayers can extend their tax return filing deadline for two months
by filing a Form 4868 according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
To obtain Form 4868, “Application for Automatic Extension of Time
to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return,” taxpayers can contact a
local IRS office or fill out the order blank for free forms and publications
found in the tax package.
When requesting an extension, the taxpayer must make two copies
of Form 4868. The original is filed with the IRS on or before the due date
of the tax return and the duplicate must be attached to the actual tax
return when it is later filed.
When sending the original copy of Form 4868 on or before the due
date, the taxpayer also must estimate his or her tax bill for that year and
enclose full payment for the tax liability.
Later, when sending the duplicate copy with the return, the amount
of tax previously paid should be entered on the appropriate line for Form
1040.
Taxpayers receiving an extension of time cannot use the Form
1040A or have the IRS compute their tax bill.

Wild bird craze
bags big money
WASHINGTON (AP) — Some
100 million wild birds are being
trapped each year to satisfy the
growing worldwide craze for exo
tic household pets, pushing sev
eral of the most popular and costly
species toward extinction, says a
private study released Tuesday.
It said that demand for wild birds
is so great that a thriving black
market has developed, and
smuggling commonly is resorted
to in efforts to avoid animal protec
tion and quarantine laws.
The study, entitled “The Bird
Business”, noted that as many as
80 percent of all birds captured in
the wild may die before reaching
the customer. And it urged the
federal government to ban the im
portation of birds for sale as pets.
The report was funded by the
World Wildlife Fund, Defenders of
Wildlife, Fund for Animals, Animal
Welfare Institute and the Humane
Society of the United States.
Some of the birds are startlingly
expensive, it said. For instance, a
golden-shouldered parakeet, a
bird native to Australia, can cost
$10,000. A hyacinth macaw from
South America sells for $8,000.
The study said one recent U.S.
Customs seizure involved several
hundred cockatoos valued at over
$500,000.
But it added that wholesale
legal and illegal trafficking in wild
birds is not without peril; at least
nine species of parrots are now
threatened with extinction and
populations of other species are
declining.
Even the mynah bird is grow
ing increasingly rare or has
disappeared entirely in parts of its
range in Southeast Asia, the study
noted. Mynahs, like many species
of parrots, rarely breed in captiv
ity; most of the birds for sale in pet
stores come directly from the wild.
In addition, it said, caged birds
smuggled into this country have
been responsible for outbreaks of
exotic Newcastle disease in
domestic poultry flocks.
In the United States, the study
noted, canaries once were the
mainstay of the bird trade. “But in
the past 20 years the public has
become more sophisticated and
its demands now include diverse
species of parrots, finches, cock
atoos, cockateils, mynahs, and
even toucans, tanagers and other
delicate species.”

Alternative
legal action
talks slated
The Lewis and Clark Law
School is scheduling an all-day
conference on Saturday, entitled
“Alternative Legal Practices.”
Through keynote speakers,
workshops, and panel sessions,
the conference will explore less
traditional ways of practicing law
and will focus on those particular
interests in society which have
traditionally been inadequately
represented, such as, environ
mental interests, community law
rights, minority rights, and public
interest law.
Additionally, the conference will
feature procedural aspects of al
ternative practices such as adver
tising and problems common to
solo practices.
For more information contact
Joe Bottomly, the Lewis and Clark
Law School, 10015 S.W. Terwil
liger Blvd., Portland, Oregon,
97219, telephone 244-1181.
