THE COST IS TO ALL
From the standpoint of efficiency, the system of payroll
withholding now in use as a means of collecting personal in
come taxes rates high. It has stopped many losses, it has
meant that many who h8d formerly managed to avoid doing
their share in meeting the expense of government are now
paying their part of the expense. Its only weakness is in the
smoothness of its operation; as far as the tax payer is con
cerned, it has come to be too-nearly painless. And so the man
who pays lacks that sharp, jabbing reminder that he is dig
ging down ; he thinks of big business, of the wealthy, as pay
ing the bill for the luxury that government has become. He
is prone to forget that the average man has a pretty high
stake in it, too.
The average family's share of the national debt is $7,000.
The average working citizen's yearly payment of taxes, direct,
as well as the many indirect taxes that are also practically
painless, is the equivalent of 61 days of labor. For the rate of
national government spending today means an annual outlay
fourteen billions of dollars higher than it was even in the
time of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It isn't just a problem for the rich. It is a problem for
everybody to reduce the thoughtless inefficiency which pays
no heed to costs but considers only the means of getting more
and more money to meet them. The provisions of the Hoover
commission report, put into practice, can save American tax
payers a minimum of three billion dollars a year. Part of it
has been enacted, but the greatest savings that all of it can
afford are needed. Debt and taxes must be lessened.
OUR ERROR
Somebody in our news room put Singapore in China the
other day. The error was noted by Charles Keller and he has
neatly and pleasantly taken us to task in a bit of rhyme. Verse
is not accepted for our columns but Mr. Keller's bit of fun is
printed here today(as an apology for the news writer's error.
It reads :
I aee where you have met demands of the Commica,
And taken Sincapor from the Tommiea. '
They lata India and Burma before.
And now yon take away Singapore.
Ireland has left the fold.
South Africa ia irettintr bold.
Canada don't R-ive a damn.
Australia ia ogling Uncle Sam :
But it's enough to make even a spud-picker sore
When you go and give away Singapore.

Reports which hunters make to the game commission are
of the utmost importance in providing an up-to-date back
ground of information against which plans for the season a
year from now may be made. Hunters are not required to
make these reports but it is definitely in their interest to do
so and, a year ago, their fine cooperation- in this regard
brought pleased comment fro'rri'commission officials.

of savings in the veterans' train

Early last spring veterans ad
ministration told congress it could
save the treasury more than $100,
000,000 if it had the power to keep
veterans out of courses which it
called "avocational and recrea
tional." Congress waited until late
this summer to give VA that pow
er. VA officials had plenty of as
surances beforehand that the bill
giving it to them would be passed.
But when it was passed and sign
ed by the president on Aug. 24,
they were caught flatfooted.
It wasn t untu Sept. id that VA
parent. Since VA announced the
postponement, schools all over the
country report that thousands of
veterans have suddenly decided to
enroll now while there is no

Out on the Farm
By Da S. Grant
Oct. 12 Four hundred fifty
seven years ago today, Columbus
admitted that he was lost, and
landed on America, which had
been discovered a number of
years before by Leif Ericson and
several others, who neglected to
notify the chamber of commerce.
It's just as well that Columbus
got the credit for the discovery,
because he got little else for his
trouble. His girl friend, Isabella,
even had him tossed in prison. Her
heart softened at last and she
sent him on his fourth and last
voyage to the new world, but he
came home a tired old man, ill
with the gout. He died on May
20, 1506, the day after he wrote
his will.
Now anyone who wants to be
like Columbus and discover some
thing new and different will get a
lot of fun out of making the
"crazy cake" I'm going to tell
you about. The recipe is one of
the souvenirs a delegation of local
club women brought home from
a national convention last sum
mer. Into an ungreased, 8x8x2-inch
square cake pan, sift the follow
ing: cups sifted all-purpose
Hour, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons
cocoa, 1 teaspoon soda and xh tea
spoon salt. Leave the dry ingred-!
ients in a mound and make three
depressions with your mixing
spoon. In one, put 5 tablespoons
cooking oil, in another 1 table- i
spoon vinegar, and Into the third ;
measure 1 teaspon vanilla extract I
Over all, pour 1 cup cold water j
and stir like mad.
Bake the cake 30 to 35 minutes ;
at 350 degrees. It's good warm, I
Just as it comes from the oven, j
or a simple icing may be made, i
A frosting that sounds just about
as "crazy" as. the cake is made
like this:
Measure 5 tablespoons brown
sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 3
tablespoons canned milk into a
small saucepan. Blend together
over low heat until the butter
molts. When the cake is baked,
pour the Icing over and return ;

minutes, until Uie topping bubbles

4-H Club Stock
Sale Held Today
Portland, Oct. 12 IP More
than 700 beef animals, sheep, and
swine were sold at auction today
in the first combined 4-H club, Fu
ture Farmers of America, and
open class fat stock sale at the
39th annual Pacific International
livestock exposition.
Tuesday night nearly 400 4-H
club members and P-I livestock
exposition officials honored win
ners of the show at a banquet.
The banquet was highlighted
with the award of the Plummer
trophy for one year to the Mon
tana 4-H organization for its high
scoring demonstration team in ag
riculture and home economics.
In the cattle breeds entry, Hen
ry Drury of Preston, Ida., won the
Holstein class with his bull. Fred
Sooy of Chaney, Wash., was
awarded grand championship in
the beef showmanship class of
the Future Farmers of America
division.
its
new authority. But by that time.
after a series of blunders which
almost gypped an estimated 15,
000 veterans out of tuition and
several months' subsistence
checks, it became obvious that VA
could not get the law operating
until next semester. It had to
postpone enforcing the measure
until Nov. 1.
The $50,000,000 estimate of
what all this foolishness will cost
the taxpayer is really conserva
tive. It is based on the fact that
most colleges and schools operate
on a two-semester basis. With VA
unable to use its new power to
keep vets out of recreational and
avocational courses until the sec-1
ond semester of this year, at least
half of the estimated $100,000,000
savings can't be made.
There is a lot more to it than
that. Delaying the enforcement of j
the new law opened the gate for j
all veterans to get started in
many courses now, which might ;
not be available to them later.
And once they are started in those
courses, or types of training, they
can continue on for one, two or ;
three years, until they are finish- '
ed. So possible savings which the i
law seeks to make have actually '
been lost for several years.
And this result is already ap-
come to be pretty general agree
ment that that type of training
was not the intention of the GI
bill. The section involved limits
further training to all vets who
have either interrupted a course
or who have completed one phase
of a course.
a a
VA's position is that if a vet
eran dropped a course or changed
one, he shouldn't be eligible for
any more training unles he can
prove beyond any doubt that any
more courses will lead directly to
a job. And the same applies to a
vet who might have finished one
phase of training and wants to
take advanced training with the
credits he has left.
Announcing on Sept. 15 that as
of Sept. 12 the rigid restrictions
on GI training would go into ef
fect was the blunder which finally
forced VA to abandon enforcing
the restrictions until the next se
mester. The retroactive announct"

tions have torn up the terrain.
ment found the estimated 15.000
veterans who would be affected
already enrolled for the term.
VA officials admitted that they
were aware that a great number
of vets would get caught short by
the poorly-timed announcement.
But they thought that the Incon
venience and loss of money to
them would be worth the savings
to the treasury that could be
made by getting the restrictions
in force for this semester. They
didn't anticipate that it would
kick up such a fuss.
Most U. S. educators have
fought the whole VA theory of
limiting GI training. They were .
glad to be able to use the admin-'
istrative errors of VA as a means
of getting the regulations post
poned a semester.
