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

Hurry! hurry! If it's close to
6 o'clock, be sure that old radio's
a-humming, because here comes
the big parade of stars and cele
brities to inaugurate the 4th War
Loan drive with a full hour show.
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. New burlap
bags may now be used to cover
smaller refined sugar bags, iiuch

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.
