FARMERS ARE LIABLE FORPROCESSING TAK

Lewis Penwell, collector of internalrevenue, states that it has been brought

to the attention of the collector's officeby the commissioner of internal revenue,Guy T. Helvering, that in many in-stances farmers and others are slaugh-tering hogs and selling the products toconsumers without paying the process-ing tax. This is a violation of the Agri-cultural Adjustment Act and regulationswhich provide that any person whoslaughters hogs and parts with owner-ship thereof by sale, barter, trade or ex-change must file appropriate returnsand pay the processing tax thereon.

Regulations 81 and Treasury Decision4406 require processors to keep an ac-curate record of all pork processed dur-ing a given period. Returns are requir-ed to be filed on a monthly basis re-porting the processing tax accrued as aresult of the commodity processed dur-ing the month.The tax is computed On the live

weight of the hog-at the Urns of slaugh-ter. The tax applies even in the caseof the producer who slaughters his ownhogs and sells or otherwise disposes ofall or any part of the products.Butchers who buy dressed hogs from

farmers or others will be required to re-tain an accurate record of such pur-chases, as to the name and address ofthe parties from whom purchased andthe exact weight of pork purchasedfrom each party. Butcher shops !Mouldlive up to this requirement in every re-spect so as to protect themselves from aPossible liability.The only time when hogs may be

slaughtered by any person without pay-ment qf the processing tax is when theproducer slaughters or has slaughteredhis own hogs for consumption by hisown family, household or employees.In such case, where the producer hassomeone butcher the hog or hogs forhim for use within his own household,be will be required to furnish thebutcher or slaughter-house with an af-fidavit to that effect on a prescribedform.Heavy penalties are provided for vio-

lation of the law or evasion of the taxand any person who ahrtighters hogsand sells all or any part thereof, shouldconfer with the collector of internalrevenue for his district who will havesomeone assist him in preparing andfiling the required return.

E.C.W. CAMP IS LOCATED FOR THEWINTER

PLAN TO RAISE RELIEF FUNDS

Speaker Dennis Dellwo, after a con-

ference with Gov. Frank Cooney andmembers of the house committee onrevenues and taxation, Monday, an-nounced a definite legislative programto meet the major requirement of thespecial legislative session—the relief ofhuman suffering.The program, it was explained, pro-

vides for the raising of apprakimately61550,000, which would be distributedby the counties for relief purposes.As tentatively outlined, the program

provides that the funds be derived fromthe following:The proposed sales or license tax,

$500,000. Under the plan, the taxwould be reduced from 1 per cent toone-fourth of 1 per cent of the grossproceeds.Diversion of $100,000 received from

beer taxes and licenses.Receipts from the gambling license

bill, estimated at $250,000.Receipt of $600,000 from an additional

one-cent tax on gasoline or $300,000from a one-half cent tax.

Receipts of $100,000 from the Inherit-ance tax.

The E.C.W. camp which was recentlymoved to Hell Roaring creek, is beingmoved to its permanent winter locationon the Moss corner, a short distanceeast of Were, this week. Major C. KCoe has authorized the purchase of5,000 feet of lumber, which will be usedIn building floors and sides for thetents. Preliminary stork on the roadfrom the power house to the dam is inprogress and Umber Is being cut for anew bridge. If the weather permits, thecrew will attempt to finish the roadthis winter.

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING OPLUTHERAN minim

Gasoline is the one necessity whichis never overlooked when new tax meas-ures are considered. Already there is astate tax of 5 cents per gallon on gaso-line, and the federal government levysa tax. The lawmakers would add stillanother cent. It seems that the legis-lators forget that the gasoline motor isa necessity and that much of the freightand passenger traffic of the state is han-dled by motors. The railroads were afavorite source of taxation until theywere bankrupt, and the same thing willhappen to cars and motors if the law-makers insist on piling on additionaltaxes.

The annual business meeting of thePoison Lutheran church was held Tues-day afternoon of this week,.Reports were given by the pastor, the

board of trustees, and the treasurer.The election of officers resulted as

follows George Feetvog. re-electedsecretary, Andrew Peterson, re-electedtreasurer, Walter Jensen, elected trus-tee for a period of three years; HildurReksten, re-elected organist

NEW FORD V-8 IS ON DISPLAY

AT CLINE MOTORS

Cline Motors has one of the new 1934Ford V-8 cars on display at the showroom. More than 7,000 Ford dealers inthe United States have this popular caron display today.As explained by John Cline, the new

Ford incorporates numerous improve-ments in engine and chassis design,with greater power and speed, quickerstarting and acceleration, smother per-formance and more miles per gallon,plus a new built-in system of ventila-tion.The improvements in engine perform-

ance are the result of the use at a newdual down-draft carburetor and dualIntake manifold, which increase the en-gines power and provide a remarkableImprovement in pickup.

Distinctive lines of the Ford V-8 havebeen refined in the 1934 car by a newlydesigned radiator shell, grille and otherfeatures. A new enamel finish is usedon all bodies, while the fenders on thede lure cars now are in color to har-monize with the body colors.Eleven body types are available. All

body types are equipped with inlets/glass windshields, while the de luxebody types are fitted with safety glassthroughout.Cine Motors invites the public to call

and inspect the new 1934 Ford at thegarage show room.

TWENTY-ONE TONS OF SOCKEYESALMON TAKEN

According to Ben Cramer, who hashad charge of the nets during the runof sockeye salmon, he and the othermen had taken 211/2 tons of the fifthfrom the lake, on the east shore. Mr.Cramer said they took 10,773 fish of anaverage weight of four pounds andthese fish were distributed among 364families. The best day's catch was onNovember 25, when they bottled out1,643 fish, and since that time the catchgrew lighter each day until December7, when only 250 fish were taken.Twenty-one and a half tow of fish

should be enough to supply all theneedy of this section with that class offood for some time to come.Mr. Cramer and his helpers should

be commended fot their Week, whichwas done without remuneration.
