Most Persons
Cannot Fill
Income Forms
By Laura Etz
(United Press StMff Cornaiundent)
Chicago, March 13 ilP Chanc
es are two to one that you're too
dumb to fill out your Income tax
form properly.
Dr. David P. Boder, psychology
professor at Illinois institute of
technology, said that roughly 30
per cent of the population has the
mental ability to understand the
forms.
It takes an I.Q. of 110, he esti
mated, to understand the govern
ment's instructions for filling out
the longer tax forms, "so you're
lucky if you have it all taken out
by withholding tax."
More than 65 per cent of the
population "simply does not have
the mentality to follow the legal,
technical language," he said.
That's not all. Even persons
with the mental ability to under
stand the instructions may fall
down because they lack "numbers
, facility" or suffer from repres-
sions.
y' It is the "tendency to repress
unpleasant experiences" and not
laziness that makes people put
off their income tax figuring un
til, the last possible minute, Bo
der said.
"Unfortunately, the longer they
, postpone it the more unpleasant
Is the experience, and as a result
the psychological block is even
worse tne next year, he said.
The lack of "numbers facility'
can happen to anyone, Boder said
"lots of so-called geniuses can't
do the simplest problems In math
ematics." '
Income tax figuring, he said
should be made a regular part of
nigh school instruction.
"The instruction should start
about January or February, in
time to give the parents a hand,"
he said. "The younger1 generation
In that way could overcome the
psychological block that stymies
their parents before they them
selves have to face the problem."
No Criticism
Boder emphasized that he didn't
mean to "criticize the govern
ment" for the complicated forms
because "they have to be that
way to cover everything. It's Just
too bad for the majority of peo
ple. Boder had some suggestions
that might make the annual or
deal easier. .
1. Get several blank forms, not
Just one, "so you can tear it up
If you make a mistake."
2. Keep your old returns as a
future guide.
3. Don't try to do the whole Job
at once; that only increases ner
vous tension and makes it more
difficult.
4. Follow the directions "me
thodically and step-by-sten as you
would a cooking receipt." If you
don't understand the directions
yourself, buy a tax guide or con
sult a government tax adviser.

Madras Considers
Water Problems
Madras, March 13 The city
council again is debating plans for
solution of a problem centering
around scarcity of domestic wa
ter, which 25 years ago Inspired
Mrs. A. F. Shugert, a housewife,
to run for mayor on a platform,
"enough water for wash day."
While the city had voted a bond
issue for a million gallon reser
voir and is now engaged in selec
tion of a site for storing a reserve
supply for its municipal system,
It has nt obtained an adequate
source of supply.
Proposals have been made for
deep wells. The city, however,
has met with discouragement the
past two years, in failure to reach
any appreciable strata of under,
ground water. The city current
ly obtains water through a tem
porary agreement with the Union
Pacific railroad company to util
ize surplus water from a well
used in serving locomotives at the
local Joint rail station, and in the
purchase of water from the Des
chutes Valley Water district
which supplies all the 50,000-acre
tract of the North Unit Irrigation
district's homes and the towns of
Culver and Metolius.
This district buys its water at a
rlmside reservoir from a private
company which pumps it from
Opal springs, where a huge vol
ume of water Is, poured into the
Crooked river in a deep gorge at
the south edge of Jefferson
county.
Sentiment, it is reported, Is
crystallizing here for gaining a
county-wide domestic water sys
tem, developed by the U. S. bu
reau of reclamation In coniunc-
lion with the $12,000,000 North
Unit system, attainment of which,
however, will he contingent on
gaining an enabling act in con
gress. The estimated Cost of such
a system is placed at more than
$3,000,000.

Fewer Rules,
Toys Suggested
In Child Training
New York ' IP Parents might
have fewer problems with their
children if the' young ones had
fewer rules and fewer toys, ac
cording to Mrs. Isabclle P. Buck
ley. . For 15 years Mrs. Buckley has
been dealing with children from
two to 12 years old in her nursery
and grade schools In the Los An
geles area. She talked about some
of her child-raising theories (she
has four children of her own) on
a trip east.
"I tell parents that they should
establish a very few rules and
then stick by them," she said. "It's
all right for parents to Ignore
minor wrong-doings now and
then. I don't believe in constant
nagging. But when you do say
something to a child, follow it
through. Then the child will re
spect you and will get the secur
ity he needs from his home."
Too Many Playthings
As for toys, Mrs. Buckley
thinks children in all income
groups have far too many play
things these days. In the play
ground of her schools there are
blocks, a play house a sand box
,and a boat. The youngsters who
play there include daughters and
sons of famous movie stars. They
are used to every imaginable toy.
But Mrs. Buckley wants them to
use their Imaginations when they
play.
"If they have too many toys
they lose interest in all of them.
and their search for new excite
ment often leads to mischief," she
said.
Her motto Is "self expression
through self discipline." That dis
cipline angle lost her a good manv
students at first. Well-to-do par
ents believed that only progres
sive education could develop a
child's personality. Mrs. Buckley
stuck by her rules of obedience
and discipline.
"A child needs a sense o order
in his world if, he is to feel se
cure, she explained, she com
pared disciplined education to the
fence surrounding the yard where
a child is playing. It's not a bar
rier but a boundary.'
"In an attempt to widen the
child's horizon, progressive edu
cation has torn down the back
yard fence, she said.
"The child has been deprived
of emotional security. His crea
tive Instincts have been dissipat
ed rather than directed."
Starts Them Early
She begins her training with
two-year-olds. In their art class
es they are taught a "design al
phabet, Before tney are turned
loose with crayons. They learn
how to draw basic shapes and
forms.. She says the discipline
encourages and broadens their
talents rather than confining
them. Before they begin unison
singing they learn the principles
of timing, tone and pitch.
Each child learns to say "good
morning" and shake hands with
the principal as he enters the
school. Then the child shakes
hands and says "goodbye as he
leaves. This Is done to teach
poise.
But if you start young enough,
Mrs. Buckley believes any child
can be taught poise, sympathy
and respect for the rights of oth
ers. She thinks the formative
years, from two to 12, are the
most important in a child s educa
tion. "We don't want to make just
good children," she explained.
"We want to make them good
adults."
