Son of Minnesota's Favored Son
Opposes Father for President
SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn. U.R
Lt Cmm. Harold E. 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."

"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."
