Engineer ing crew by averting a serious flood in this vicinity 1 cannot re frain from expressing my views on the matter. The paper states that “unfor tunately Lt. Col. LaLonde and his assistant got the blame fur letting the water out of the dam when such was not the case.” and that 1 “the run off between hero and the NATI AL ÉDITORIAL- dam, a distance of 51» miles, caus SSOCIATION ed the river to overflow at points.“ There must have been a terrible run off just below the dam then, as the river waa com pletely full clear up to the dam THE STATES CAN T TAKE IT Anyone who drove by here or lives A remit press dispatch reports that high costs peril high here can attest to the fact that way work plans.

PRIVATE SPEAKS HIS MIND He is a brave soldier indeed who dares to tell thr ”brass hats”—in person—what he thinks of them. But one did—and the generals listened. The army private who appeared before 1he Senate committee to voice his opposition to universal mili tary training minced no words in declaring that the "Pentagon boy MOdtg” wanted it to pass because a large peacetime army would enable them to hold their high ranks. He contended that the entire universal training idea was the product ot the be- medaled fourflushers who pass out decorations with one hand and doctored reports on demobilisation with the other.” We don’t know just how rod certain official ears were after hear ing this, but at least they know just how one man feels toward universal training—and “brass hats . LET S WORRY RIGHT “The powers that be in Washington are worrying entirely too much about giving big wages, bonuses and $25-a-week pen sions to discharged war workers (for not working) who drew excessive big wages during wartime. while Bl’s were working for $50 a month, and who now in many instances are being held out of jobs while war workers turn ilowwi millions of jobs be cause the work does not suit them or the wages are too low l^t s worry a little more about the til’s and less about war workers. _ The Belleville Telescope. Belleville. Kansas. There are over a million retailers faced with the dilemma of rising costs and frozen retail prices^ These retailed are be ing asked to carry the main burden of inflation. This is neither fair nor workable. The only possible result is lowered produc tion as thousands of merchants are slowly forced to drop the distribution of necessary items.

Your De claration of Estimate Tax (or an amendment of your 1945 Declara tion >. 2. Does everyone have to file a Declaration? No. This filing should not be confused with the regular time for filing annual in come tax returns, which must be filed not later than March 15th. 3. Who does have to file Janu ary 15? Three groups as follows: < a» farmers. (bi persons who filed a 1945 Declaration of Estimate Tax. but wish to change their es timates, (e) persons who should have filed a 1945 Declaration but have failed to do so. 4. Did everybody have to file a 1945 Declaration? No. only per sons who had over $100 income outside of wages from which tax was withheld (assuming their overall income was at least $500). 5. What are some examples? A wageearner with a wife and one child has two exemptions besides his own, and if his wages exceed $6,000 ($5,000 plus $500 plus $500), he had to file a 1945 Declaration. Also required to file were mer chants, landlords, lawyers, doctors, and others who received income from which tax was not withheld. 6. Why is January 15 a special date for farmers? Other taxpay ers were required to file declara tions last March, but the law specifically permitted farmers to wait until the next January 15.
