I of us, comprises about one per cent or our population. Labor is Dasia ox bu our weaiui ana wages paid govern all prices. In cluding the cost of living. You might as well try to hold down the lid of a boiling kettle as to hold prices down when wages are raised. The ultimate result of labor's present demonstrations will be to show democracy's weakness In government. Passing a law by legislators does not make it right, neither can a biased su preme court's ruling. Laws now passed do not rep resent tne intelligence of the legislators but usually the will of organized pressure groups. A preferred class has no place in democracy. Asking special privileges is admission of Infer iority, in the same class as with Infants and insane. The greatest aid to commerce that could be devised, would be a universal currency and stand ard scale of wages. It would also be the greatest step in progress of world peace ana equal opportunity that could be taken. We might as well have the ba by vote on more candy, as to nave laborers vote on more oav they are no better qualified to decide the matter as it affects the entire world. We sure need a fact-finding body to give us a rational world policy for the best interests of ajl instead of leaving lt to the scramble of sel fish greed. Our present democracy is shame Instead of a model. I. C. JONES.

TRUTH NEEDED To the editor: The President is right, what labor and capital need is someone to find facts for them. In fact we all need to be told the truth, especially the la boring class and our legislators. An atom ot common sense, put to use, is better than one to ex plode. Expanding production and distribution, getting a sur plus to a place of need, is better than restraint of trade, and kill ing little pigs. The world Is full of needy. Free transportation to the needy would be better than tariff measures or subsidies. We must now get a world vision and supervision. Any un restrained power is dangerous. The most hopeful sign of today Is the trials now going on to pun ish war criminals and higher-ups, never before attempted. There can be no veto of Jus tice. Unionists now comprise about one-tenth of our population, about 23 of the laboring class. It Is unseemly for the tail to wag the dog.

Although a $3000 deduction for any part of each year in serv ice will exempt the majority fiom paying an income tax, Ore gon's returning servicemen were reminded today that they must file a state income tax return, the same as civilians, by the April 13 deadline. Details of income tax obliga tions and exemptions pertaining to Oregon veterans as passed by the 1943 legislature were simpli fied by state Income tax com mission officials at the request of Hugh E. Rosson, state veter ans' affairs director, and were released today as follows: The veteran must file a report on his 1943 earnings. He is allowed a deduction of $3000 from his net income for any part of each year in active service, for the years 1942 through 1945. This means that veterans who served as enlisted personnel or in the lower ranks of commissioned officers, and who had little or no income oth er than service pay, will have no tax liability in most cases for the years of service. He may save money by filing a Joint income tax return with his wife. By so doing, if his $3000 deduction was not used up, the remainder of this deduc tion can be applied to his wife's deductible income. What this does. In-effect, is to give his wife a greater reduction than she would otherwise have. Assistance in preparing re turns may be obtained at the of fices of the Tax Commission in Calam inn C 1-1 - Building, or in Portland. Room I 709, Oregon Building.
