SOCIETY, WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS By MARIAN LOWRY A FISCAL FABLE A friend dropped in at the office the other day with a proposition that was an invitation to apoplexy.' Glancing at a hen-tracked, eraser-smudged copy of Form 1040 on the desk, he delivered himself of this shocking pronouncement: "If I had my way after the war, I should institute a system of tax payment that would make Form 1040 look as simple as a money order application. Under my plan, every hidden and property tax would be brought out into the open. There would be a sales .tax. The whole business of tax paying would be onerous and ever-present. It would be hideous. It would be Utopia. Probably it can't be done, but it's worth dreaming about." After a moment he continued, and gradually his listen ers' pulses slowed down and their faces resumed their nor mal pallor. "It's all right in wartime to make tax paying as simple as possible. And I'm in favor of keeping the war-bill part of it simple after the war. But as for the taxes that pay for running government, federal, state and local, paving for them ought to be like reaching for money in a pocketful of fish hooks. "That is the only way that the small taxpayer will learn to pay attention to the way his money is being spent. Too manv dgodIp used to sav 'I don't have to pay any taxes.' And they believed it. Well now, suppose a man today is j paying a war-irozen rent ui .tuj a nhjhui uu mo ..wuov . apartment. After the' war it's raised to $75. Mavbe he squawks and cusses the landlord, and that's the end of it. But suppose his bill from the landlord today says 'Rent. $50 Real Estate Tax, $15.' and after the war the rent's the sanv but the tax is $25. You know he'd darned well do something about it. , "How would such a tax law be Dassed?" the friend went on. "Well that I don't know unless maybe a lame-durk administration could get it through, and then get out of of fice quick." It was agreed that, though the friend's olan was slightlv fantastic and unlikely of accomplishment, there was consid erable sens to what he said. After all, if there is any silver linlnc to the present In clusive and necessary Income tax. It is the fact that ..hi voter is being made-conscious of public spending. In 1913, nly .37 per cent of our population filed Income tax returns. This year an estimated 37 per cent without the decimal point will nnl nnlv filp returns, but rjav a substantial tax. Loic- Hv. fliev are coino in ask that it be prudently snent. And ! their inquiry may even extend into the realm of the hidden tax. ' ' We hesitate to say It. but maybe It's a good thing.

S. food price and rationing controls at least until the? fall of 194!) Relief from tho present textile and clothing shortages "within a matter of months" after the end of the war in Europe Larger supplies of the smaller Items of consumer durable goods by the middle of the present summer Relatively full production of all consumer goods six months after the end of the war in Europe. a a a These four main trends are outlined as "the probable course of developments" by Richard V. Gilbert, economic adviser to OPA Ad ministrator Chester Bowles. While admitting frankly that no one at this time could set a def inite' schedule for post-war relaxation of specific price and rationing controls, thla summary by Dick Gilbert is the first statement by a government official in answer to what is perhaps the second most frequent question asked by the American people today. First ques tion Is, of coulee, "When will the war end?" Second Is, "When will we be rid of OPA ration points and celling prices?" Importance Now Recognised 1 Economist Gilbert's "predictions," If they may be called that, were made recently in the course of a talk before, the Marketing Conference of tho American Management Association in New York. No one paid much attention to it at the time. Text was prepared at the last minute, and there was a delay In getting it cleared through the Office of War Information in Washington, with the result that copies were not made available until after the speech had been de livered. It was considered old news and Just another speech by that time, but today copies of his talk sre being grabbed up and studied carefully as one of the most significant utterances on post-war prob lems yet to be made. These estimates will unquestionably have an important bearing on congressional consideration of renewal of the price control ai;cl stabilisation acts of 1942, both of which expire June 30, Presupposing the end of the war In Europe first, Gilbert bases his estimates on the following deductions: Food price mid rationing control cannot end before the first full harvest of the first full planting In Europe. If the war ends this summer, and all of Europe ran plow and plant in the fall and spring of 1944-4!), harvesting this full crop in the fall of 194., the need for U. S. price and rationing control would disappear at that time. Europe's Needs To Increase Gilbert points out that today only one item of clothing shoes Is uruler rationing. End of the war will see European require ments for clothes and textiles Increase sharply as territories are lib erated, but a lrt-up In U. S. government requirements for the armed services would permit Immediate larger production for civilians, and within a matter of months, with easier manpower supply, pro duction will snap back to the peak levels of 1942. In the field of consumer durable goods, Gilbert sees present modifiiations of the war program reducing pressure on basic raw materials and the release of manufacturing facilities. Manpower shortage now prevents full utilliitlon of materials, but he asserts that the speed with which many of the smaller durable goods items will reappear this year may be surprising to most people. f F a 11 pKP .

Smith issued the challenge in a telegram to Wallace last night and said he would meet Wallace at St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleve land, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, where each has spoken recently. "You are quoted as praising the communist regime of Stalin's Rus sia," Smith said in the telegram. "You represent a substantial number of American people who are pro-communist and in agree ment with your philosophies. I represent several million Ameri cans whom you aie now attacking. Because we are America firsters and because we recruit our fol lowers from the right and center you call us fascists."

Feb. 21 (U.B More than 1,000.000 American school children are being taught today by substandard instructors. Since Pearl Harbor 20Q.000 teachers have gone into the armed forces or war factories. Last year 180,000 teachers were new at their ;obs. This year the newcomers will total about 170,000. As the situation was described Ly Willard E. Givens, executive secretary oi ine national r.auc tion association, "not only is the crisis unabated, prospects for the future are far from bright," NEA has just completed a sur vey of 1500 school systems. It found that: "While the success of a democ racy depends on an enlightened citizenry, the structure of the American educational system which forms future citizens is threatened." The NEA blamed low teachers', salaries more than any other lac tor. With schools short 70,000 qual ified teachers for more than 1, 000,000 students, 53,755 emerg ency teaching certificates have been issued to replacements most of whom, according to the NEA, are "substandard." The remain ing vacancies have not been tilled. In some cases, classes have been eliminated. The. NEA said that while the minimum government salary for a professional worker is $2000 a year, 44,000 teachers -earn less than $600 annually and 254,000, less than $1200 When the war be gun, 10,000 rural teachers were making less than $300 a year. There are about 900,000 teachers in the country. "Most of the 200,000 teachers who left, left for higher-paying positions," the NEA said.

FEBRUARY AND THE BIROS The- calendar should be remodeled and February made the first month of the year instead of Jimutiiy. There are enough "firsts," at least in our area, to warrant the change. The first birds arrive this montn the hummingbird and the tree swallow. The first flowers bloom the Johnny-jump-up, wild currant and trlllium, to name three. The first ganien Is planted. In our par ticular district all vegetables not ulfccted by frost are in by the middle of the month. Hummingbirds and swallows arrive almost simultaneously, though the former usually beat the latter by a matter of one day to a week. The first hummers appear singly or In pairs. But the first tree swal lows come in flocks of fifteen or more. While I may see the rufous hummer before t hear the loom of his flight, yet I've never seen swallows trfore t heard their calls. From high overhead the Inimitable swallow chuckles will come floating "Th. au-nllnu-e mrm -,-"' I'll .ll 1 1 V.
