Stanton WE believe we have an average vocabulary, -but we must ad mit we don't know enough words, including the profane, to properly express our opinion of the current federal income tax form. News-Review readers must know by now that our personal dislike for the current political administration borders on the fanatic maybe crosses the borderline but if anything would drive a person deeper into black hatred for the outfit in power, it would be the form which most of us have recently received through the mail. How anyone could vote to continue in power an administration that would per mit such a blank tp be .placed in the hands of the general public is something we simply can't understand. If anyone had told us the national capital's muddling, bungl ing and'eonfusion could be put on paper and distributed to millions of American citizens we wouldn't have believed it. But now we've seen it ! Here we are a nation of people consumed with anxiety over the safety of lovod ones, our nerves rasped by overwork, our patience exhausted With political mismanagement and the acts of irresponsible labor leaders, and then the adminis tration comes out with an income tax form that would whiten the hair of the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer. But, at least, it's a diversion. RumI came up with a simplified, pay-as-you-go tax plan. The administration opposed it, but congress passed it any way. Now we get a sour-grapes tax form. We doubt if very many American citizens object to the payment of a stiff income tax. We fully realize we can't fight a war of the magnitude of the current struggle with out having an enormous bill to pay. The bill wouldn't be so high if the administration hadn't practically bankrupt the The Weather U. 8. Weather Bureau Offloe, Roseburg, Oregon.

You'll miss Gabe Heatter, Robert Ripley, Paul and Jerry, Just for tonight, but you'll be well repaid in listening pleasure. Don't for get tonight is Sherlock Holmes at 8 and by the way, this is the last night the dean of detectives will be on at this time. He moves to 10 o'clock Monday nights, be ginning next week. You'll re member, of course, tnai you nave a date with Point Sublime at 8:ju. Tuesday night at 10 o'clock the state of Oregon's 4th War Loan drive is given a big boost, wnen you hear the broadcast irom Portland. KliNK stays on me ali tor an extra half-hour to bring you the big doings. Tuesday ev ening at 6:15 also marks the start of Believe It Or Not, a nigtiuy feature now, Mondays through Friday, with the unbelievable Mr. Ripley himself doing the honors. Farmers Advised On Allotment of rlUS Russians are dickering with the Polish government-Jn-cxlle In London over what is to happen to Poland after the war. Stalin apparently proposes to hold that part of former Poland lying cast of the 1939 boundary (established by Russian-German ameement before Germany went to war with Russia) and referred to generally in the dispatches as the Curzon line. In return for the slice of eastern Poland thus taken, the Russians are offering to give the Poles part of eastern Germany INCLUDING part of Prussia. EEP your eye on this Prus l V slan proposal. Prussia has alwuys been the nravc center of the German war-and-conquest complex. Maybe the Russians . have In mind an operation to RE MOVE Prussia from the body of Germany.) the war cost pyramiding our national debt, we are still in the midst of the orgy of unessential administrative spend ing. But we accept the fact that having permitted this con dition, it is now up to us to pay the bill. But it seems that when the burden of paying the tax is so heavy, there should be some relief in the method of calculating the payment. Attorney Guy Cordon, who has been back to Washington so often he has discovered how to find a hotel room, related to us the method by which these returns are made. Congress first passes a lax bill. The measure then goes to a tax expert, employed by the senate, who, incidentally, gets paid twice as much as any senator. He checks the bill for any possible technical errors, and it then goes to the executive branch and is switched over to the treasury de partment. In the treasury a group of tax experts go to work. The only language they know is the idiom peculiar to their pro fession. They are familiar with all the loopholes used by tax evaders and can imagine a lot of things that need to be dono to prevent other openings. And so they proceed to write the forms in a language as unfamiliar to the werage person as feanskrit, and with as many dependent clauses as their combined efforts can invent. The American citizen has been called upon to perform many patriotic acts for the sake of his country in the past few months. We have given our sons and daughters into military service, we have set an astounding production rec ord, wd have oversubscribed our war bond quotas, we have skimjied on gasoline, contributed to war chests, saved otir fats, bones, metal, wasto paper and toothpaste tubos; we have struggled with ration points, ration banking, priorities and certificates of necessity, but the hero's medal belongs to the guy who can correctly fill out the current tax blank. Farmers in the status of Ore gon, Idaho and Washington using burlap bags for their wheat and small grains will be allowed to purchase 100 per cont of the bags they bought In the base period of 1941, it was annonunced to day by Taylor Greene, district War Production board director. In an amendment to conserva tion order M-221, WPB provides that the West coast wheat bag may be used for packaging small grains, and changes the base for bag purchases, In order to meet increased demands on the part of the farmer not using bulk stor age. The amendment further ex tends, this scope of the order to include open mesh cotton bags along with burlap bags. Burlap laminated bags are also subject to the restrictions.

Franchised Bottler; Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., Roseburg, Oregon THE latest reports from our air headquarters In England Indi cate that Tuesday's air battle cost the Germans 152 planes shot down as well as three fighter plane factories damaged. Of the fighter planes shot down, our BOMUER gunners got 125 and our lighters 27. We are supposed to have had about 700 heavy bombers and some 500 fighters In the battle. These figures Indicate '.he DEAD L1NESS of our homlicr gunners. A sidelight In the news is the statement from Seattle Unit hereafter the PAINT is lo be left off Flying Fortieses, thus saving CO pounds of weight to be added to the bomb load. AN the glowingly turbulent pc- J lit leal home front, there are charges that the budget present ed by President Roosevelt to con gress was PADDED to allow for more boondoggle sicndliig. Budgets being as complicated mid technical as thry are, pad ding Is pretty hard to prevent. About the only real protection Is a chief executive who WON'T PAD BUDGETS, but Instead will TRIM them. 'J'hc day after the war ends, budget trimming will be our most vitally Important problem. Issue Is whether the federal gov ernment or the states will con trol the soldier vote machinery. It's ALL politics. Whoever thinks his side will get the bulk of the soldier vole will want federal control, so that more soldiers can be enabled to vole. Whoever thinks his side WON'T gol the soldier vole will be for state control, so that few er soldiers can vote. Word Received of Death in Chicago of C. R.
