Stassen, former Minnesota governor, will have tough opposition from his own ion if he rum for president Seven-year-old Glenn Stassen doesn't think he would like to live at the White House. "I don't think I'd like to have daddy be president," Glenn said. "He'd have to go out too much." Glenn was digging In his back yard. He leaned on his spade and explained that he "would like to have daddy around the house when he comes back from the war." Ruml Asks Federal Tax Overhaul NEW YORK, (U.B Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the federal re serve bank of New York, treasurer of B. H. Macy and company, Inc., and originator of the pay-as-you-go tax plan, is urging a complete overhaul of post-war federal taxa tion with lowered taxes based on stabilized employment programs. Ruml's plan is a nine-point post war fiscal program. He calls for, first, no public spending for its own sake and no projects "merely to support purchasing power In general." Budget estimates he said, should be based on the "ef ficient and economical carrying out of worthwhile activities to ac complish our national purposes." "Second, let us lower our tax rates to the point where they will : balance the budget at an agreed level of high employment Taxes should be reduced where they will do the most good In creating de mand in encouraging private en terprise," Ruml said. ' ' He urged that tax rates, having been set to balance the budget at high employment should then be let alone, and surpluses gained from high employment held. Pro gressive income taxes and estate taxes, he said, should be contin ued "as the best way of reversing the tendency of purchasing power to come to rest," but he urged a re duction of individual income taxes. ; "Let us reduce the rates on the Individual income tax to stimulate consumption and to make possible investment In new enterprise on a business basis," he said. - Public works, Ruml said, should be planned to help the construc tion Industry, "not to balance the Whole economy." i i He called for "neutralization" of social security and a balancing of old age security and unemploy ment insurance. Important excise taxes, he said. should be kept "for the time being," and we should "get rid of jna rest." Lending abroad for any pur poseshould be aranged to sup port rather than contradict "fiscal policies adopted to strengthen our domestic enocomy." ICEBOX" HOME SITES Most healthful location for building their homes was chosen by residents of ancient Bagdad by hanging up game In various sec tions of town. Least healthful place to build was the site on which the meat spoiled first CONVICTS CONTRIBUTE ' Inmates of Lewisburg, Pa., pen itentiary recently raised $890 among themselves for the Red Cross War Fund campaign. GOLD SEAL CONGOLEUM Wide Selection of Patterns LYONS & PETERS 1203 Willamette "I miss dad an awful lot," he said. "We used to hike down by Pig's Eye island on the Mississippi where he played whep he was a kid, and he would tell me all about what he was going." On Pacific "He must be pretty far out on the Pacific, out there with Admiral Halsey, because it takes 10 days for him to get my letters. Mom wor ries about that sometimes, and she misses him, too." "Mom" was i the house stirring gravy for a pot roast A petite brunette, she perched on a kitchen stool when Glenn came inside to beg for a cookies. She sent her "ragamuffin son" upstairs with a warning to wash behind his ears. "I guess I'm Just a horn body," she said. "Harold and I both come from South St. Paul, and we were sweethearts from high school days. All I ever wanted was to be around when he needed me." Her Place In Home She didn't have much to say about her romance with Minne sota's "native son" candidate for the republican presidential nomin- I linn I Mrs. Stassen thinks her place now is in her home, keeping things "the way Harold remembers them." She does some Red Cross work, but she doesn't get out much. She has no maid. - "I wouldn't think of camaplgn Ing for his presidential nomina tion," she asserted. "He's fighting for his country now, not for a political position in his country." . "Besides, I don't like to make speeches, and I don't like to write political articles." ' What Goes on at The Statehoase By JERRY HANNIFIN SALEM, Ore. (U.R) Rural dis. trict schools still are being closed due to a lack of teachers, and Oregon schools are operating with 10 per cent fewer Instructors than normal, D. A. Emerson of the state department of educa tion said here. "The problem of school closings has become more complicated, with teachers getting scarcer and those remaining having to take in extra students from nearby closed districts," Emerson commented. He said Oregon was particularly short of teachers qualified to in struct specialized fields such at the sciences, industrial arts and home economics. ' "Rural schools have been hit hardest, and the problem becomes even more complicated when transportation to adjacent schools must be arranged for students in closed districts.. The districts themselves have helped in the transportation of pupils," Emer son said. Educational requirements have been relaxed in an effort to at tract teachers. Wages have been advanced and rural instructors now may receive higher pay than ever before. "Requirements for high school teachers have been relaxed so that in specialized instances instructors are hired who have less than a bachelor of arts degree," Emer son said. Oregon dairy production for 1 1944 may not be mora than 81 per cent oi last years output, the department of agriculture has estimated. Goals for all 1944 Oregon crops, with very few exceptions, have been set at parity or more than a parity with 1843 acreages. Alfalfa led seed crops, jumping from 4000 to 8000 acres, a 200 per cent in crease. Potato acreages will be down six per cent from the 1944 crop of 83,000 acres. Other crops showing a decrease for 1944 include dry beans, oats, tomatoes, Austrian winter peas and crimson clover. Approximately 75,000 fewer chickens will be raised during 1B44, and spring sow farrowing will be down 5000. Fall farrow ing of sows will decline 8000. In Japan, the number "four" is considered unlucky, because it is the same word as "death." Population Soars In West and South WASHINGTON W) Wartime population Increases in metro politan areas of the nation have been largest in the west and south, the census bureau report ed. Metropolitan counties in the western states showed an increase of 920,366 residents for a 12.5 per cent gain between April 1, 1940, and March 1, 1943, the bureau said. In the south the gain was 12.2 per cent In Oregon, the Portland area showed an Increase of 82,875 in habitants or a percentage gain of 20.1 for the period, which started with a total of 41J.1M residents on April 1, 1940, ad vanced to 422,889 on May 1, 1942, and jumped to 495,104 by March 1, 1943.

Buyers Cannot Expect Automatic Dividends In New Ration Plan WASHINGTON U.B The na tion's housewives got another warning from the office of price administration recently not to look for automatic dividends when the new ration plan goes Into effect February 27. Ration buying power will be kept on an even keel by adjust ing point values very slightly, OPA said. The housewife will be able to buy about the same amount of rationed food under the token plan, with its new quota of 60 meat points and 50 processed food points per month for each person as she can pur chase now with the individual monthly allotment of 64 meat points and 48 food points. Under the new plan, all stamps will have a value of 10 points each, regardless of the number printed on them, with small pocket tokens worth one point to be used to make change. , Truck Driver Trying To Avoid Crash Ends up Plowing Corn SALEM, Ore. (U.PJ A certain Oregon truck driver reported his version of an accident to the state motor vehicle accident bureau: "Well, it was Just about day break. I had the old corn pop per in the whistle nearly winding about 35 when I saw this old hay shaker doming across the side road. "I gave him the horn and pinch ed the air a couple of times, but he stopped for the highway, so I kicked It in direct and stuck my foot into the carbureter. "I was just getting wound up again when I hit the intersection, and this lug pulled out on me. I cut for the barn and made it around him all right, but I couldn't bring her back, and the next thing I knew I was out in the pea patch, plowing corn."
