Judging from reports emanating from points east of the Rocky Mountains, thhy think we arc in a perfectly terribly state out here-that our business has been completely dislocated; that we are under blackouts most of the time; that travel is stupiod on the highway arteries; that the enemy Is a constant threat off the coast and goodness knows how much more such stuff. Humors, exaggerations and garbled facts have spread like prairlo fires creating worry", con tusion and in some cases actual hysteria. The effect of this sort of thing upon business Is obvious ly bad. Orders that might other wise come to coast .firms are sent elsewhere. Orders already plac ed may be cancelled. It is a serious situation temporarily but it can be remedied. Personal contact Is the best way to clear up the confusion about conditions here. iUI;course the simplest personal contact! Isbyi letter. It Is suggested therefore Unit folks write numerous letters to friends, relatives and business contacts lii the mid west and toil them the trite state of affairs. Tell them that the uciual danger is. Ri'ealy exaggerated. That blackouts are but sane precaution ary measures which assure rath er than worry the populace; that stores enjoy good business; that there Is as much travel as the shortage of tires will permit; that theatres and other places of amusement flourish and that people have money to spend and are .spending it pretty much as usual. Personal letters will do a fine job of relieving worry so let's write a few. Three Million Volunteers THE various offices of Civilian Defense have now enrolled 3,51(i,r,()0 volunteers, according to Director F. II. LnGuardia. That Includes 607,307 air raid wardens, 23S,!Hi7 auxiliary riremen, M!l,3r!l auxiliary polkv, 130,070 medical personnel, and 210,030 others. Considering that there were few er than a million on Nov. 23, this suggests progress. Of course this is up to now largely a paper strength. Most of these people are largely untrain ed.

Defense Work Profit Target OfCritidsm Fixing of Limits Sought In Bills Being Prepared For Action by Congress .WASHINGTON', .mn 21 (API ... Fer-reaehlnfe li'trislatlbn to com pel "special Interest" groups to submit accountings of their funds and to limit profits on defense work was prepared today to meet the house naval committee's blunt criticism of practices it declared were current. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) said he would introduce immediately a bill to require "big chambers of commerce, labor unions and all special interest groups" to report to a federal agency their assets, liabilities, contributions and ex penditures. Well Informed congressional circles said that such a program had been discussed by President Roosevelt with conferees on labor legislation two months ago. At the same time, Vinson said he was working on a second bill designed to prevent the "exces sive and unconslonable" profits which the committee declared some corporations had made on naval contracts. The Georgian said that the leg islation could not fairly be based on a fixed percentage of profit, but probably would be built around average profits over a given period of years. The naval committee sent a voluminous report to the house yesterday summarizing its in vestigation of 19,086 naval con tracts. All members approved the report as a whole, but nine dissented sharply from the ma jority's findings regarding labor. Heavy Profits Discovered The report made these observa tions: Industry Manufacturers as a whole should not be criticized, but In view of the fact that many made profits far above 7 per cent the highest was 247 per cent on a small order "the necessity is clearly Indicated for measure to be taken to prevent excessive ana unconscionable profits." Labor "Tremendous financial gains" by labor organizations rep resented "an outstanding picture of concentration of wealth" which should lead to union registration. Congress should enact legislation to prevent interference with tho war program by strikes and other work stoppages. (Both of these provisions are In A'hriusa-annroved bill passed Lbelore the United States went (o War ana wnicn is penaing in me senate). , Contracts Negotiated cost-plus fixed-fee contracts surveyed showed an average profit of 2.G per cent, compared with 6.2 per cent on competitive bids. "Results to date indicate that the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract minimizes the possibility of profiteering where a close check is kept upon costs." Administrative Navy officials should more carefully consider the records of prospective con tractors, should study British and Canadian procurement methods, should avoid "a great deal of waste and excessive profits" be cause cost-accounting methods are not uniform and should in sure adequate protection for nav al plants.

EDWARDS Sacrifice is the highest and noblest act of a living soul. We respect It, we honor it, we pay homage to it. Sacrifice is a povJer of God which accom plishes an eternal work. It is a law of life. We speak a great deal these days about self-denial but do we practice very much denial for the kingdom of God? A great many of us do not even give of our time to the Lord. We are too busy 'ith other this( a. me toct ..Wail?:-y.CXt!f said:. "The world is too much wiih us." We worry about our earthly pos sessions, but never stop to think whether our soul is right with God. Jesus reached the climax of sacrifice. He was not speaking only to the disciples, but to the world in general, when He gave this fundamental law of life: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself." Adam Clarke, the great Biblical scholar, master of fourteen languages, sleeps In Westmin ster abby. On his tomb is a candle, burning near the socket, and around it, these words: "In burning for others, I myself, also, have been con sumed." Or another general, Charles George Gordon, who at all times and everywhere, gave his strength to the weak. His sympathy to the suffering, his substance to the poor, his heart to God. These men learn ed the art of sacrifice through loyal service and suffering. Both are highly honored for their devotion to a cause. "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life" In loyal service and sacrifice.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21 j (AP) Nevada led western states j in increasing output of copper, ; zinc and lead In 1941,' but total j value of five principal west coast 1 metals declined. j The drop resulted principally ' from a lower output of gold In !

Your Federal Income Tax No. 15 Normal Tax and Surtax Rafes Income taxes for 1941 are paid on normal tax net incomes and on surtax net Incomes. A 6tudy of the instructions that accom pany the income tax forms will show how to compute the tax on such incomes. This brief state ment should serve to help to that end. The Internal Revenue Code, as amended, provides for only one normal tax rate', and that Is 4 per cent. It is upon the normal tax net income that is, the net income less the sum of (1) allow able personal exemption and credits for dependents, (2) the in terest on obligations of the Unit ed States and its instrumentali ties, and (3) an earned income credit of 10 per cent of the amount of the net income. If the net income is $3,000, no more than $300 earned net income cred it would be deductible from the net income. The entire amount of the taxpayer's net income up to and including $3,000, regardless of the source, is considered earn ed net income. The surtax Is imposed upon the entire amount of surtax net in come. In the computation of the surtax net income the only cred its allowable against net income are the personal exemption and the credit for dependents. the rates of surtax Increase as the amount of the surtax net in come increases. For instance, if the surtax net income Is not over $2,000, the surtax is 6 per cent of the surtax net Income. The sur tax upon a surtax net income of $2,000 is $120; upon a surtax net income in excess of $2,000 ami not in excess of $4,000, $120 plus 9 per cent of the excess over $2,- 000; upon a surtax net income of $4,000, $300: upon a surtax net in come in excess of $4,000 and not in excess of $6,000, $300 plus 13 ler cent of the excess, over $!, 000; upon a surtax net income of $6,000, S360; and upon a surtax net income in excess of $6,000 and not in excess of $8,000. $560 plus 17 per rent of the excess over $6,000. Thus the rates are in creased from 6 per cent on the first $2,000 to 77 per cent on the excess of surtax net Income over S5.000.000. The maximum surtax rate is 77 per cent. On a surtax net income of S5.000.000, the surtax is S3, 723,780. When the surtax net in come exceeds $3,000,000, the 77 per cent rate is applicable to such excess, in addition to the surtax ol S3,T23,7S0.
