Paying the Dollar Cost;
If our sons and our brothers and our
nephews and our cousins can take it on the
lighting fronts, we can take it at home," was
the observation of Frank Jenkins, publisher and
columnist of the Klamath Falls Herald, upon
learning that President Roosevelt proposed a 56
billion dollar budget for the war effort in the
fiscal year starting July 1, 1942. His reaction
to the challenge closely paralleled ours.
"Dollars no longer count," he continued;
"they're now only devices for measuring pro
ductive effort ... All we have to do to meet
this need is to turn our productive energy into
producing weapons instead of devices for mak
ing living richer and fuller and pleasanter. In
order to do that, we shall have to do without
(temporarily) the things that have made our
American way of life so pleasant for we
haven't the capacity to produce both kinds of
things at once. And if we don't produce weapons
we need we may lose our pleasant American
way of living. '
y "Cease worrying about taxes. Cease worrying
about dollars. Dollars are only counters in
this game we are called upon to play."
Our po.int being thus confirmed, we are ready
now, especially since President Roosevelt has
suggested the manner in which the counters
may be shuffled and how many of them shall
be collected while the effort is under "way, how
many deferred until later, to concede that the
shuffling will be a strenuous exercise; more
strenuous for some than for others.
Not many of us know yet, exactly how much
we'll have to pay this year in income and simi
lar taxes; probably most of us have a rough
idea. Next year, the president suggests that we
raise the ante about 50 per cent, bringing total
revenue up to 27 billion which will still leave,
counting both the ordinary federal expenditures
and the war budget, a deficit of 35 billion.
That's (gulp) fine. Now let congress sweat
over the details. When it actually, comes to
nicking the taxpayers, especially the several
million new ones drawn into the fold this
year, congress is likely to be more squeamish
than either the president or the payers them
selves. But it will have to de bone.
The president is right in proposing that as
s much as possible of the cost be paid out of cur
Tent income. These years of all-out production
will be the years of greatest bulk income. We
: don't want to pay for any more dead horses
than necessary in later years. And as we point
ed out the oher day, we can't really defer the
cost the real cost must be paid in labor and
resources now. We may as well pay the bulk
of it while physical limitations of consumer
goods production are limiting our buying any
how. It will help to control inflation.
- But when the president proposes to increase
social security taxes by a couple of billion, we
don't follow him. We don't get it. With more
persons employed, automatically more social
security taxes will be paid. But why raise the
rates? There isn't going to be much unemploy
ment to reduce the employment insurance fund;
some of the oldsters who had retired or were
thinking of retiring are going to find them
selves back in the labor force. Social security
funds are of course borrowed by the gover
nment and will be expended in the war effort and
when social security benefits come due, the
money will have to be borrowed from some
other source. It will hurt to pay those taxes now
and it will hurt to borrow the replacement
funds later. Why not go easy on social security
while national security is the main objective?
j Well, it's going to be tough. But for those
who can manage it, there's a way to make the
individual burden lighter. Buy defense bonds
-see to it that a part of what you owe, a part
of your share of the tremendous national debt;
the government in turn will owe to you.
Semantics and Sanity
"No word ever has exactly the same mean
ing twice." Such is the major premise of S. I.
Hayakawa, author of a brand new book "Lan
guage in Actions A Guide to Accurate Think
:ing." His minor premise, if such it may be
called, or at any rate his justification for writ-
ing the book, is that ordinary, citizens unversed
i in semantics that's the science of word sig
, nificance, if you didn't knoware literally
"being driven mad by the welter of words with
which they are now faced"!
Not having read the book but only some
reviews of it, we feel disposed to challenge the
major premise as too broad. Take the premise
itself . -"Word" does not always have the same
meaning but it is often used; with identical
, meaning. "Meaning" probably never has .the
samemeaning twice. But '"twice" has only
- two .: possible meanings. . The premise is all
wrong when' you try to apply it to . abstract
mathematics. 1 Perhaps it is correct otherwise
- how can we be ' certain when ' we don't know
'' what the author means by "meaning?" ,
' ' Certainly human beings have been assaulted
in recent times .with a "welter of words" em
ployed , with . intent to convey . a bewildering
variety of meanings. In a simple police court
item in an Oregon newspaper the other day we
found "apprehend" used three times, each time
in a different sense and each time, correctly
though awkwardly and confusingly. The writer,
we suspect, might profit from a study of!
semantics., j-. v . i;vu i-,:.:f.:.:
, On the other hand, quite frequently a word is
asked to do work for which it hole's no union
cardl "Incredulously" for "incredibly" is a
fairly common4 example. Semantics again may
be the cure. : :,i"';f j;: r-----
' However, i -Author ! Hayakawa ; insists i " that
semantics will do much more. If widely mas
tered it will, he says,- safeguard the public
against superstition, vicious propaganda and in-
accurate thinking in general.. If so, undoubtedly i
it will prove a prop to successful democracy.!
Ye can see his meaning, at any rate. Take the
recently prevalent! word "isolationist," Many
persons didn't realize that It involved opposition ,
io any material aid to the democracies, as well
as opposition to this nation's physical" involve
"No Favor Swayt Vt; No Fear Shall AxetT
: From First Statesman, March 28, 1831 1
ment. How, might one . intelligently debate the
issue or even arrive at a private opinion, with
out knowing precisely the generally accepted
meaning? ' j-'i-
But the same example serves to illustrate the
limitation of. semantics' aid to thinking. After
you understood the exact meaning of "isolation
ist" and "interventionist" you still had to choose
between them or choose a middle ground,
which is one thing semantics- tries to prove
always possible and only bombs over Hawaii
provided an almost irrefutable answer.. More
words, no matter how, well chosen or under
stood, were of precious little help.
The truth is that any person intelligent enough
to appreciate semantics is at least an amateur
and perhaps unconscious practitioner of the
science or more accurately,, of the art based
upon that science. Semantics may help a writer
or lecturer to make his meaning clear, it may
help the fellow on the receiving end to recog
nige that meaning or at least suspect it. But
as a vaccination against individual or group
insanity or as a guide to successful democracy,
we fear that its utility is'limited. It's too nearly
a synonym for intelligence if you get our
meaning. n
Censored Weather
The government and military asks that no
mention be made of the weather, other than
to say it is "lousy" or "good." Thus in the full
spirit of the request for voluntary censorship
let it be observed, that the weather here last
night and today (Wednesday) is lousy. In cer
tain sections of the country ... it is thrice
lousy with compounded lousiness. Astorian
Budget Like Demosthenes who became a great orator
because of, rather than: in spite of his original
speech impediment, or Glenn Cunningham who
became a great distance runner because he was
a cripple early in life, it strikes us that the
Astorian-Budget has scored a triumph in weath
er reporting because of, rather than in spite
of the voluntary censorship. If it had been
free to tell all, its report could hardly have
been as effectively descriptive as it was.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 Advance warnings to
worker and housewife that war-life behind the
lines will be different this time are beginning to
be realized. You will see the change within 40
days.

Sundays, one lump of sugar,
weaker coffee are not in pros
pect now. A shortage of ships
may cause some eventual 'de
ficiencies in sugar and coffee,
but not soon. Meats, vegeta
bles, cigarettes, will be plenti
ful, although higher in price.
Canned goods will be available
(defense regime has already
allotted sufficient precious tin
for that purpose). Tea, pepper,
tapioca and possibly soap win
be scarce.
In general you can count on
getting sufficient food, cloth
ing and services. Shortages in domestic wool goods
will be made up by! British importations and by
cotton textiles. Synthetic silk goods do not yet
seem ready to do the! same job as silk at the same
price, but they will be available.
As this Is a mechanical war, the main privations
of the people will be centered in mechanical lines.
High-test gas will be denied to motorists, and
saved for planes. Plenty of straight gas will be
available. New autos will not be manufactured.
Used cars will soar in price.
We had about a ten months' supply of tin when
the war started, and have arranged for more from
Bolivia. But the use of tin containers for oil, beer
and such consumer goods will be stopped. Wooden,
plastic and glass containers will be favored (de
spite the opposition of big oil companies). Rubber
tires will not be available. Synthetic rubber will
eventually be furnished as a substitute. It wears,
better, but costs much more. Out of our lives will'
go new radios, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, wash-;
ing machines, housing facilities. Limited will be the.
supplies of furniture, furnaces. Prices will, con- '
tinue to rise. Rents will be put under control
In short the consumer will suffer in every line
which demands metals or raw materials from the
Far East .
This country Just hit Its real defense production
gait as the Japs struck at us. By New Year's day
we had spent about $20,000,000,000 on defense
armaments (half the national debt we were wor
ried about). Three-fourths of this represents de
fense armaments actually produced (the rest being
administrative expenses, etc.) -
But our stride will widen increasingly from now
on. The- defense economists can see where $130,
000,000,000 could be spent by the end of 1943. They
are measuring available labor, plant expansions,
full possible utilization of resources.. -
. Such an expenditure Would lift' our national in
come from $92,000,000,000 this year to about $125,
000,000,000 for 1943. This Is nearly $1000 average
for every man, woman and child in the country.
No one here Is being deterred by any thought
- of difficulty In raising these unprecedented sums of
money or of paying the interest on the Increased
debt later. We are moving into an ever rising new
plane of income, debt, expenditures. The swelling:
.national income represents an expanding reservoir;
from which the treasury may siphon greatly in
creased sums in taxes and bond issues to pay for
its bigger expenditures.! '-'i i - . .
. As for servicing-the post-war debt burden, the
economists foresee a much higher peacetime plane
of business for the future which will produce more
revenue lor government Opening of foreign mar
kets, after victory, coupled with the deferred de
mand for the autos and vacuum cleaners you can
not buy now, should be enough to preserve balance.
.The - current price inflationary trend is bound
to continue.' No one knows how far it will be per
mitted to go. But this, too, may prove to be a fac
tor that may be useful in handling the debt later.

November 2 to December v

The contents of the historic
column in the Los Angeles Sun
day Times of John Steven Mc
Groarty far the issues of No
vember 2 and December 28,
1941, show a great change,
- which no doubt is common with
a vast number of Americans.
First, let's have the contents of
that column for Sunday, No
vember 2, copying:
"The way it was, we were re
turning home from a trip to the
. roaring town to which we have
to. journey every so often to at
tend to small business matters
of no importance to anybody
whomsoever except us, and not
really even to us. On the way we
came to an intersection which
was a road leading down into
the valley where an old friend
lived. Remembering that we had
not seen him or his family for
quite a long time, we determined
to detour and call on them.

"When we arrived at the
house there was no one at home
except the oldest son, a typical
American boy just finishing his
course in junior college and pre
paring to finish up with a four
year course in the university. He
is a fine, upstanding lad, as
nearly all American boys are,
straight and tall, clear eyed,
strong in body and alert of mind.
When we appeared he laid: down
some books which apparently he
had been studying.
"In answer to our inquiry, he

father and other members of the
family were in good health and
Your Federal
Income Tax
HOW TO AVOID COMMON
ERRORS
Twenty two million persons,
firms, and corporations, it is es
timated, will possibly file in-
come-tax returns this - year.
. These returns begin to trickle
in around January U Every re
turn for . the calendar year 1941
must be in by midnight of
' March 16. . In order to handle
the enormous volume of; work
alone entailed of receiving these
returns, the Bureau of Internal
Revenue has greatly increased
. its staff in its several district
offices The experience of for
mer, years shows that the Bu
reau is always swamped with
- late returns. If taxpayers will
file their returns early,; they
will find that this will be mu
tually beneficial to them and
'" to the Government.
A large number of these re
turns contain errors which,' if
not corrected by the 4 audit,
would result to the disadvan
tage of the taxpayer. Many per
sons pay in more than the
amount of the tax due; others
fail to take advantage of the
personal exemption, the I credit
allowed for dependents, or de--
ductions from . gross income to
which they are entitled.:
" . In making out your income
' tax return, read carefully and
: study the instructions that ac
company the 'forms on which
- the tax is computed. If you need
; more information, it may be ob--.tained
at the office of the col-
lector of internal revenue, dep
uty collector, ; or - an internal
' revenue agent in charge.! When
you visit an Internal-revenue
. office to. get assistance in mak
: ing out your return, take a co
py of your 1940 return with you.
"Service With a Smile"
prospering. He said his parents
had provided funds to send him
through the university but that
they were troubled in mind con
cerning the condition of the
world and were considerably
worried about him, fearing that
he might be conscripted in an
other year and that as a result
of this their plans for his future,
and his own plans as well, might
be completely frustrated.
"Here was an opportunity for
us to explore the mind and
thoughts of the average Ameri
can youth of military age or ap
proaching it Realizing that it
doesn't matter so much what old
or elderly men-think one way or
the other; concerning the tragedy
which the whole civilized world
faces, we fully realized that it
is of importance, and of very
'great importance, how youth
contemplates the situation, or if
it gives any thought to such
contemplation at all. So, toward
this end we welcomed the op
portunity to delve, into the
thoughts of a young American
representative of the generation
in which he lives and whether
or not -that generation of youth
is considering the situation
which it must inevitably face.

The Safety Valve
Letters from Statesman Readers I
RADIO FOR WARNING .
To the Editor: Naturally
everyone in the USA is not on
ly interested in the progress of
the war across the oceans, but
also in defense measures here at
home.
. One of the problems in the
country seems to be the lack of
an effective signal system for a
blackout . . f -
So far this problem seems to
have defied solution, According
to news stories, even resource
ful New York has failed in this
respect . ,
Personally I am not an ex
pert on sirens or whistles, but
it stands to reason that should
an unexpected, air raid take
place, whistles or sirens, no
matter how large, could not be
heard very far up-wind. Now,
since outside signals are inef
fective, why not send 'the sig
nals directly into the. homes by
means of the radio?
If the alarm comes unexpect
edly, it can be assumed that the
radio stations will be in full ac
tivity. A thirty second signal
could put out all , lights in the
entire state in that time. Since
the radio, audience has become
used to hearing horns, sirens,
whistles, and . other contraptions,
including the human voice, I
would suggest that good bells be
installed in every ' radio studio
in the state. In case of danger
the current program can be
dropped and the operator can
let the sound of these bells ' go
crashing Into every home ; at
any time of day or night i
- Not only . would dwellers I in.
cities and towns be warned, but
also those ' living away - from
these centers of activity. I am
convinced a plan along these
lines can be worked out since
those who . own radios consti
tute nearly 95 percent of the
population. Thousands of mo
torists could be warned in this
manner and would know that a.
blackout is on.' The method of
sounding the bells would be a
minor detail. -
There could be only one ob
jection to the plan. It might be
jJ
the subject, let the boy do his
own talking and refrain from
offering any opinion of my own.
It is a good attitude to take
when seeking knowledge. I
learned this long years ago out
of my: experience as a newspa
perman. Also I learned the art,
for itvis an art from a great
lawyer in my native Perm's
Woods; Jeremiah Sullivan Black
was the man. Wherever he went
the whole day long, Judge Black
became famous as a perambulat
ing interrogation point. If he
went into a blacksmith shop he
plied the blacksmith with ques
tions concerning his craft. It was
the same way if he talked to a
doctor,' a butcher, a baker, or a
candlestick maker. The result
was that when he tried a case
in court he was informed re
garding the knowledge of any
witness put on the stand from
his own side or the other side of
the cause at issue. His cross
examinations of witnesses I be
came a classic and a tradition in
the practice of the law at the
Pennsylvania bar, the most em
inent bar in America.

"It was not difficult to get this
young son of my old friend to
inform me as to the thoughts
running through his own mind,
the mbre so because he was of
the thoughtful type of mind.'
(Continued tomorrow.)
said that radios must go off the
air in 'case of a raid. However,
thirty seconds longer would not
be of much use to an enemy, but
would: be of tremendous import
to thoie in the danger zone.
I respectfully submit that this
'plan, worked out in detail, could
effectively solve the signal prob
lem, for be it remembered that
the little bell on the alarm
clock wakes' up millions of peo
. pie every morning.

Meredith moved restlessly.'
"You see, Anne, she had suffer
ed terribly. Her judgment
had been warped, f her outlook
on life twisted. What she did
was against the: law but ..."
"But you had compassion and
above all you understood," sug
gested the girl softly, noting his
use of her christian name.
"You're a strange man," she
went on, withdrawing her hand
from his arm and leaning back.
She allowed her charming head,
to sink into the huge jade-green
cushion against which the love
ly lines of - her figure were
thrown into distinct relief.
Meredith turned his head
slowly and looked f at her. She
saw a dawning wander appear
in his face and, far back, in
those ordinarily controlled blue
eyes, what was like the sudden
leaping of a tiny flame.
CHAPTER 27
Anne nodded again as she re
peated, "You're a strange man.
It seems to me," she went on
slowly, "that you might well be
that rare thing among men . .
one who had a real sympathetic
understanding of women."
"I don't quite understand," he
said stupidly.
"I think you jio," she said.
"What do you think of me?" she
asked suddenly.
The question caught Sir John
unawares and his mouth seem
ed to shut tight like a vice as
though he were afraid of what
he might say. He frowned and
hesitated.
"You needn't fear to say what
you think," ehe told him quiet
ly. T have few illusions about
myself."
He appeared to think deeply
and then turned to her with a
little helpless shrug, asking,
"What d'you want me to tell
you?"
"The truth," she said.
"The truth," he almost whis
pered. "I think you're ..." He
raised a hand as though to reach
out and touch her, then dropped
it at his side again as he said
quickly, "I think It would be
wiser if I went . . now."
The girl's lovely face lit up as
though with a light: from within.
She leaned, forward. He felt the
soft caress of her breath upon
his cheek and clenched his
hands. Her eyes were wide and
her full mouth, was avid as she
said, "I think you have less
courage than your reputation
warrants."
Meredith turned his head
slowly. It was almost as though
it were being drawn round
against his will. His mouth was
very near hers and his eyes
seemed faintly glassy. "Cour
age!" he breathed. "Does it re
quire courage to . .' ." He caught
himself up and came suddenly
to his feet. - '
"Oh, no!" she gasped as though
the words were wrung from her.
He stood staring ever her head
across the room He swayed very
slightly, his hands bunched into
fists thrust into the pockets of
his coat
"I must go,"' he said hoarse
ly. "I ... No, don't ask me to
stay. I ..." He broke off and
then dropped once more to the
sofa at her side, and took her
hands in his. They; were tremb
ling, "listen," he said, "I must
go now. There's a reason. But
I shall return, if I may."

Late that evening Attorney
Louis Remouet telephoned Com
tesse de iVassignae and as an
immediate result, she summoned
a hurried conference. There
were present: Philip Horton,
who had driven up Philip Wey
land, Prince Satsui, and the
Apache Toto. Comte Raoul de
; Vassingnac, at his wife's sugges
tion, had taken himself off to a
night club.
After some swift preliminary
: remarks, ; Che conference got
down to fundamentals with the
Prince speaking.
"It is essential that Anne leave
the hotel right away," stressed
Satsui. "You had better come
to my flat" . ... ,
Anne shook her head. "I can
register under another name at
a hotel." : ;::
"I shouldn't if I were you,"
objected the Japanese. "Don't
forget, you're an alien and you
don't want the passport author
ities or Bow Street interfering
with your movements now. You
had better come to my place."
"Very well," said the Count
ess. Within a quarter of an hour,
Horton had left for Suffolk and
Satsui, too, had gone, consider
ing it better that Anne should
not leavej in his. company.
When 'Madame deVassignac
came down to the lobby of the
hotel, with Toto le Chat and
Jacqueline carrying suitcases
behind her, the manager ex
; claimed in surprise, "Are you
leaving, Madame?"
"Yes. But I shall return in a
few days ; probably. Monsieur le
Comte is staying on."
"Very good, Madame. You
desire the suite to be kept on?"
"Certainly. I have to go to
Paris suddenly."
Prince Satsui was waiting in
the hall of his apartment and
greeted her smilingly. As he fol
lowed her Into the drawing
room, he took her gently by the
elbow and said, "Very soon now,
Anne, you will be Princess Sat
sui and, soon after that Dwani
of Sulungu, with no overlord
save, only ..His Sacred Majesty
the Emperor."

Today's Garden
By ULLTE L. 'MADSEN
D.C.B. I asks if weeding or
feeding is the surest way to a
'weed-free lawn and wants to
know "what about liming the
lawn now?" Or should she put
fertilizer : on? She recalls that
her father put fertilizer on the
snow covering the lawn when
she was little.
A little weeding and consid
erable feeding seems to be the
best combination to keep the
lawn free of weeds. In early
spring, while the ground is still
rather damp from winter rains,
weeds come up easily.
Sow grass seed in the bare
spots where the weeds have been
removed and feed the lawn well.
About three feedings of a well
balanced fertilizer, not too hea
vy in nitrogen, is best
I have heard that people in
the midwest and east scatter fer
tilizer on the snow on their
lawns In late spring. Perhaps it
works aU right I hope we do
not have any late snows so that
we can test out the theory here.
It is yet a little too early to
fertilize : the lawns. Wait until
the grass is ready to start growth
