jp pushes sub-total button and pulls lever.
Total of fees to date, $7.50. Constable turns in
notation of his fees, $3.50. Jurors fees, $7.
Witnesses' fees, $7.50. Total costs, $25.50. But
JP isn't through yet. He furnishes bill of fees.
Bong; 25-cent fee. He taxes costs. Bong; 50
cent fee. Docket entry. Bong; 25-cent fee. He
anticipates necessity for docket entry upon pay
ment of fine and costs. Bong; 25-cent fee.
Total costs now $26.75, of which JP is entitled
to $9.1 (Curtain).
; like the fellows who write movie scenarios
for a Jiving, we have a very imaginary mind.
To the best of our knowledge no justice court
is equipped with a cash register; we put that in
for dramatic effect. Otherwise the story may
have been a bit overdrawn but not intention
ally. Every one of those fees is authorized by
law; we may or may not have included too
many docket, entries. '
Anyway that's not important, for the point
we're trying to make isn't that the JP is over
paid nor that costs In his court are too high
chances are he earned that $9 nor even that
he is to blame for charging all those fees, for
the law makes that his duty. The point is that
he is "Justice of the Fees." Those fees are his
bread and butter. -
What's the difference? Just this: If the JP
is ambitious to make money, as some honest
folk are, the fee system tempts him so to con
duct his court as to attract cases and the re
sultant fees. How? By weighting the scales of
justice a bit on the side of the plaintiff, who
brought him the business.
By way of sequel to our little drama, if the
erdict had been "not guilty" the fees would
have been paid by the county. So the JPs
stake in those fees doesn't depend directly upon
the verdict. But he is tempted to favor such
regular plaintiffs as traffic police and collection
agents. For there is a corollary evil in the Ore
gon justice court law; these courts are afford
ed opportunity to compete with one another
for cases and fees. If plaintiffs of this sort
happen to dislike a certain JP, they won't bring
him any cases. It has happened in more than
a few instances. t
Now in saying all this it is not our purpose
to embarrass justices of the peace nor any in
dividual holder of that office but, on the con
trary, to help them; to show wherein the system
is evil. Oregon justices of the peace including
the president of their state association. Judge
Alf O. Nelson of Silverton, are better aware
than we, of the system's faults and j will en
' deavor to have them corrected at the impend
ing session of the legislature.
These well-intentioned sponsors of reform
do not deserve to have suspicion cast upon their
calling. But how otherwise may its evils be
corrected? Most of them, particularly, in Ore
gon where "machine" politics does not enter
into their election, are above suspicion. Yet the
nation over, among lawyers the initials JP sym
bolize "judgment for the plaintiff.
The solution is simple, inexpensive and al
ready, thoroughly proven. All justices of the
peace should, like those in Salem, Corvallis, As
toria, Medford and a few other cities, be paid
flat salaries which need be no greater than the
amount of fees they now receive. Such a re
form would add much to the dignity and reli
ability of this important branch of the judicial
system.

The small businesses of the United States have -been
hit hard by the war and their prospect during
1943 is not rosy, in numerous lines. Thanks to the
tireless work of organizations of small business and
industrial men, some stemming of the tide and an
occasional break in their behalf are noted.
Monday the war production board took steps de
signed to help smaller merchants by putting a limit
on the volume of merchandise that may be accum
ulated by wholesalers and big retailers. ; Control
over inventories wOl become effective in the sec
ond quarter of 1943 and, it is estimated, will affect

-Another phase of small business in which an in
terest is reported shown is the small manufacturer,
eager to keep his plant in operation and his per
sonnel together while turning out contracts in the
war effort. Not long ago the manpower commis
sion ordered restrictions on war contracts in critic
al labor areas which the Manufacturers Associa
tion of Washington held would be fatal to 'numer
ous concerns in this state. Advices lately have
come through indicating that the war department
wiU continue to award war contracts to firms em
ploying, fewer than 100 workers in these critical
labor areas. Hopes are held that the navy wQl
swing into line.
Small business and industry represent the real
backbone of the American economic system and
neither war nor other factors should operate to
stifle them, now or in the future. Walla Walla

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 Solid fuelist Harold
I ekes announced everyone should convert to coal,
even though there is a minor shortage in New Eng
land. People are just refusing to do so because it
is an "inconvenience", he said.
Well, Washington is not New
England, so I decided to try It
again. Six months ago, no
furnaces or grates were avail
able. Today my oil dealer, who
also handles coal and furnaces,
said:
"Fine. I have just the fur
nace for you. It will cost $200."
Now $200 is something more
than an inconvenience to me,
but not as much inconvenience
as my inability to get oil here,
adequate oil coupons, or oil de
liveries now at a time when the
government daily announces (erroneously) plenty
of oil is available.
i Z had finally obtained 300 gallons shortly after
my furnace went out last night. The air line from
the tank to the burner thus became locked with air
and I had to call my furnace repairman.
: This in itself proved to be more than a minor
inconvenience as the repairman was so flooded with
similar calls for help that he left his telephone off
the hook as a matter of necessity for half a day and
does this regularly every day.
But I finally got the furnace going again today
and went in to see the dealer about conversion,
carrying my 2200 gallons of oil coupons with me to
pay up for oil used so far this winter, the same
having been alloted to me under the complicated
formula of Mr. Leon Henderson's bright young men,
who proved themselves to be such damned fools
that they figured only , the floor space of every
house instead of the' cubic footage (heating space
to the ceiling) in making oil allocations.
The dealer took half my coupons, 1175 to be
exact, saying I had already used them so far this
winter. As the winter was hardly begun in this
section, I could see Ixant get through on oil.
1 So I decided toraffer the $200 inconvenience,
on Mr. Ickes advice, and told the dealer I would
order the furnace. He said:
' "Well $200 is the price without installation, and
I can't tell you when I could get it installed because
we have no help."
"But if I once get it installed, can I get all the
coal I want?" '
1 "No", he replied, "you see the coal miners are
still working a five-day week, seven hours a day
35 hours a week. I have more than 100 orders right
here (and he showed them) for nut coal.
"They say the miners are going to add seven
more hours a week, making 42 in the anthracite
mines, beginning this week, but that won't fill my
orders, and I cant make any promises."
I immediately asked why in the name-of-bur-eaucracy,
should anyone then convert to coaL
"That's what I say," broke in a nearby army
officer just back from abroad. "Those blankety
blank government officials over there (and he
pointed in the general direction of OPA and Mr.
Ickes) cut me 50 percent from last year's mild win
ter for the hardest winter yet
"I have got to go away again to fight this war
and leave an 86-year-old mother-in-law and two
children with my wife to struggle through this win
ter fuel mess.
! "The government is just putting out propaganda
on this stuff, and it is the worst kind of propaganda
from the standpoint of domestic morale. ,
; "It makes me boiling mad, but I cant even get
in to see' the ration board to get enough coupons
and now I cant get the oil for the coupons I havev
and, on my pay, I would be a fool to convert to
coal, especially when I cant get coal either."
- While the bureaucrats here have been daily an
nouncing that dealers In this locality all have suf
ficient oil, my dealer told me he has been out of
oil more than he has been in since last October 1.
'; Dozens of his customers were women and chil
dren whose men are away to war, some of whom
went without heat for five days when toe temper
ature here was down to zero. They sat in the
kitchen huddled around their electric stoves.
He said he could probably always dig up some '
kind of coal If the army officer and X would come
to get it, that he was unable to promise deliveries
because his men were quitting daily or laying off
every few days. But bureaucrats did not allow as
enough gasoline to get our own coal.
i The officer and I decided the dealer was just
trying to sell us a new $200 furnace, and, appar
ently, he considered we were in luck because he
had a couple. i : : ; :-r'.- "-? i
. ; The OPA," an equal branch of government with .
Mr. Ickes, has just announced the people had bet- -'
ter locate a coal furnace before deciding to convert..
X might add they should also see if they can get it
Installed, at how much cost, and whether they can .
get coal after they have the furnaces.::
These personal experiences have convinced me,
just as they must have convinced every citizen en
, countering such average conditions everywhere In
the country, that none of these Washington ofO-i
dais know the individual huraan problem of ra
tioning in which they are supposed to be leading'
us. . . - :
, : ? They do not understand. They deal only In
: generalized statistics of supplies and tsansporta-,
tton In the nation as a whole. - (
, They show their ignorance everytime they open
their mouths on the- front pages because every
newspaper reader knows diffevent and can prove
it from his own experience - - i- -

not. It contains spaces to show
the amount of income from var
ious sources, deductions allow
able, exemptions and credits, and
computation of tax. liability. As
most of the items require some
explanation in order to be al
lowable, the form also contains
appropriate schedules to show
in more detail how the' income
or the deductions are determ
ined. Form 1940A: This is a simpli
fied report, which may, at the
option of the taxpayer who
makes his return on the cash
basis, be filed instead of Form
1040. by citizens and (residents
whose gross income was $3,000
or less during 1942, provided all
this income consists wholly of
one or more of the following:
salary, wages, dividends, inter
est, or annuities. In using this
form it is necessary only to enter
the amount of gross income as
shown, deduct the credit allow-,
able for dependents, and insert
the appropriate amount of tax in
accordance with one's j personal
exemption status, as shown on
the table on the reverse of -the
form. This form has ho entries
for deductions allowable, since
the taxes indicated in the table
on the back of the form are com
puted after taking into account
what have been considered aver
age deductions for persons of this
income class.
A taxpayer should, therefore,
consider carefully which form
would be appropriate ; for bis
purposes. Whichever form is em
ployed, all the information called
for in the spaces should be in
serted so far as applicable to the
taxpayer, in order to avoid the
expense to the government, and
the possible inconvenience to the
taxpayer, of subsequent check
and inquiry. , i!i
With each relurn form is a set
of accompanying instructions,
and these instructions should be
carefully read by the taxpayer
before making his return.
Returns for the calendar year
1942 must be filed not later than
March 15, 1943. They: may be
filed by mailing to the collector
of internal revenue of the appro
priate district in which Is located
the legal residence or principal
place of business of the taxpayer.
If the return is filed by
it should be posted in ample' time
to reach the collector's office on
or before March 15, 1943. Re
turns received later than the due
date are subject to a penalty var
iable according to the lateness
in filing.

She was again in the dressing
room. The time of waiting seem-
mi interminable before : she was
caljed to appear again in the
smaller group of four. This time
the judges were more deliber
ate, their scrutiny more severe.
Because : their task was more
difficult. Darnley cast covert
. a i ii rhw
while the judges sat I buzzing
with! heads together were un
bearable. Finally a ; tall man
' arose and walked to the foot-,
: lights. ' .. ' .p -'; --i'
i "To select honestly," i he said,
"the most beautiful of these four
young ladies is a task that your
judges would not willingly as
sumct again. To choose from the
quartet the girl for the finals,
and to arrive at a unanimous
opinion, as we have done,' con
stitutes a miracle." He paused,
here. 'Darnley could not breathe.
The judge -continued. "I present
to you Miss Darnley Carfax; . . .
Miss Carfax, wOl ; you1 step to
the footlights?" !
Darnley walked toward him.
She felt she was stumbling,
groping. The judge lifted her '
band and bowed , to her. - '
i "Thank you," she managed to
say in a whisper. Then she re
membered that she must bow to
the thundering, cheering t audi
ence. She was in the finals; one
of two selected from forty.
She never remembered, leav
ing the stage. Suddenly she was
at the top of the stairs; then she
was in her dressing room. Soon
came a rapping upon the door.
"Miss Carfax!" called a stern
voice. ' ' ':
"Who is "it?" she queried.
"The police," was the answer.
Darnley closed her eyes. The
police. They could not wait an
other; half hour, but must come
now whe nshe stood 'upon the
very ; threshhold when she
had come victorious to the final
judging, T i J :
l She walked to the rack from
which she took the sable wrap.
With it across her arm she open
ed the door to face the lieuten
ant of detectives. j ;
"Lieutenant," she said, "here's
the fur coat"
; "Yes," he countered, "and here
are you." ) -i
Chapter 14
I "I'm here," Darnley responded.'
"Do you know why?"
'"Yes, the beauty show," he
aidsaid. "Get your things if you
want them. We're goin' down
town." " . 1
I "Lieutenant, she began her
plea, "did you ever want a cer
tain thing more than everything
else in the world?" j t
i "Everyone has," he growled.
"Will another 15 or 20 minutes
make so much difference?" she
asked.: "Lieutenant, you don't
believe I stole this coat. You
can't believe it Woud I have
shown you how it was taken out
of the studio if I were the thief?"
"We were tipped off you had
it That's good enough for me."
"You have the coat how. I
can't get away." j
"Not from me, you. can't"
"Lieutenant there was but one
reason for the thief to to plant
is the word, isn't it? to plant
this fur in my closet It was be
cause he was afraid, because we
were getting too close to him.
Don't you see that?"
"They alii soy the stolen goods
were planted on them," he snort
ed. "If it was a plant and if you
were innocent' why didn't you
tell the police? But did you?
You did not You sneaked out,
and I'm darned it you. didn't
wear it here bold as brass." -
."111 tell you why. It was be
cause X bad to be here. I had to
be here on time. If I had called
you there would have been ques
tionings and you : would have
kept me until it was too late to

"A half-hour wCl mean noth

' A voice called loudly, "Miss
Carfax on stage, please."
She , looked up into the detec
tive's face. "Well?" she asked.
"Go on, kid. Til give you the
break," he grumbled.
She did not pause to thank
him, but ran downstairs to the
passageway behind the stage.
His gray eyes glinted as he
peered after her. In a moment
he followed and stood off-stage
where he could watch Darnley
and everything that went on . . V
yes, everything. i '.;
" With keen eyes the detective
followed every movement of the
two models. . . V -
A man in plain clother spoke
in his ear. "Everything's set" be "
sald..r !-, V-jr " :
"Okay," he answered without
turning his head. , '
The judges walked to their ta
ble and conferred, while the two
girls remained standing under
the eyes of that staring audience.
There was suspense while more
than a thousand peaple waited
for the final pronouncement At
last the spokesman walked to the
apron of the stage .
"Ladies and gentlemen," ; he
began, "I am gratified that the
decision, difficult as It was to
reach, is unanimous. : From it
not one of the five judges dis
sents. We have taken into con-'
sideration more than mere beau
ty! of face and figure." , . . Fi
nally he turned and bowed to
both girls. : "My only regret", he
said, "is that we judges cannot
choose both of you. But, that
being impossible, I shall ask
Miss Darnley Carfax to step for
ward.",'" ' I. ?';'' ;...'
Elated as never before, Darn

walked to her. defeated compet

I'm so sorry, I you are so -1

I'd lost Td have wished 1 you
luck."
The other girl smiled, not al
together wholeheartedly, ' and
held out her hand. "Good luck,"
she said in a voice that was 'not
quite steady ' ) '
Then Darnley became aware
of the applause that had been
rolling up from the floor of the
house. The next few minutes
were noise and confusion as she
was holding a reception on the
stage. Adrian De Groot was
there. Chico Sanson held; her
hand and whispered, looking at
once happy and depressed. A
- large man with a mustache was
presented to her aslffr. Mitchner.
, "Do you think you wOl like
California?" he asked dogishly.

"If I have my way, you are,"
he smiled guilefully.
