THAT DOUBLE TAXATION FOE SIX MONTHS NOT JUSTIFIED The Sentinel editor has always been a champion of the United States sys tem of schools, as the bulwark of this nation's freedom and democracy, and even now with the tendency to shorten the school hours so that the young folks have more time to get into mischief than they did a quarter of a century ago (this though was suggested by a local physician who knows what he is talking about) the Sentinel has not changed its attitude toward schools one whit But the more we hear of any* at tempt to justify the recent double taxation by the school boards for a six months’ period the more we #re convinced that school authorities are taking too much on themselves. There are other tax levying bodies besides school boards and if all had taken the same attitude, and levied a year’s taxes for a six months’ period, there would have been a strike on tax pay ments that would have put all former tax strikes in the shade. The head of the office of Civilian Defense for the Pacific coast has re quested Gov. Sprague of Oregon to take the necessary action to forbid fires on the beaches at night Such fires cannot be controlled during blackouts and might easily be used as signals to enemy aircraft or subs. * -■ ■ ■ Proves Newspaper Advertising Pays "Newspaper advertising has again proved to be a potent factor in the in creasing sales of Acme Beer,” says Karl F. Schuster, President of Acme Breweries, in announcing that his company's two breweries In San Francisco and Los Angeles accounted for a record-shattering 24.74 percent of ail beer sold by California brewer ies during 1M1. ' “At the beginning of 1941. we set aside for newspaper advertising a larger proporffrmef our appropriation than in any previous y$ar in our his tory,” Schuster stated. “We did this in the belief that important world de velopments would make newspapers a more vital force in American life than ever before. Our great sales gain justified our decision. While the rest of the California breweries showed an increase in sales of slightly less than one-half of 1 percent. Acme sales jumped nearly 24 percent, ac cording to figures reelasgd by the State Board of Equalization. Com peting with 19 other breweries, put ting out more than 120 brands. Acme, T •••••••••• • Fragmente of Fact . • • -- and Fancy Next Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day, named in honor of the patron saint of Ireland. History tells us that he was not Irish at all but a Britain cap tured by the Scots early in the fifth century and sold as a slave in Ireland when he was about fifteen years of age. After a number of years of hard work there, he escaped to Eng land and after a religious education, voluntarily returned to the Emerald Isle to fulfill the mission of bring ing Christianity to the Irish people. Except for the “younger genera tion” and newcomers in Coquille, St. Patrick's day means the anniversary of the great fire in Coquille. The three or four hours before dawn on that Sunday morning 24 years ago, it was nip and tuck whether any of down town Coquille could be saved. Recently it was stated on the ra dio that a person earning one million dollars in California last year, and with no allowable deductions or ex emptions we presume, would owe the federal gqvemihent and state government the whole sum in income taxes and several thousand dollars besides, with nothing left for living expenses, < Here in Oregon, our state income tax does not overlap the federal to such a degree but the two take about four-fifths of the millionaire’s Income; that is, the man earning a million, if we have such a rars avis in this state. The United States income tax takes »693,780 in surtaxés on a million, in addition to the four per cent normal tax. The state tax is pegged at seven per cent so the combined levies amount to something like $800,000 of the million earned. However that would leave »200,000 for the taxpayer, which we must admit would look like a million to us. It is all in the view point. The rule lias been enacted that no major factories shall be built near the coast. Therefore, we do not look for any big establishment here in Coquille but surely a few small gov ernment necessities could be produced locally. He have the people here, their homes are here and their pa triotism is at white heat. There Is still some unemployment among men but there is great latent labor among the women. __ _ __ Instead of uprooting our popula tion and trying to provide housing and employment elsewhere, one or two very minor industries could be estab lished here and idle hands set to work that would increase the output of war materials and let us aid in winning the war. “Total war" means that everyone helps but rrtust it mean mass migration from what he have called home?

Now we are trying to prepare for war and win it at the same time. The recent registration of Women in Oregon is a long step in the right direction and, probably if the war continues the number of years, some predict, every youth and every wom an, as well as every man, will have his job to do for Uncle Sam. fisheries of the Pacific coast states yielded an income to fishermen of »4,305,000; that the manufactured products would exceed this figure sev eral times and that the number of angler's licenses sold in states with the salmon fisheries in. 1940 was 901,000.
