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.

WASHINGTON LETTER -
, By PETER EDSON
nrgislcr-Ciiiard Washington Correspondent
PRICE CONTROLS AFTER THE WAR
Continuation of U. 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.

Lack of Competent
Teachers Stressed
WASHINGTON. 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

observation does not corroborate this. Year after year we've had swal
lows occupying bird houses, this In spite of the fact that Hillside Is
surrounded by forest, the nearest house being a mile away. Friends
teport they have hard work to get any other species to nest in their
bird houses, since the swallows, being the first arrivals, have already
taken them over.
The first hummingbirds to arrive are always males. Bronzy and
with throat patch of a peculiarly flame-like red. their vitality never
ceases to amaie me. They are as energetic and aggressive on the
first day of their arrival as inougn they a just naa a long rest in
stead of having finished the arduous flight from Mexico or Central ,
America.
The females are a sclntlllant green, as are the young after they've
left their black-skinned infancy behind them. The mother never
doubts the metamorphosis which will take place but with fierce
