Lake, Uodot and Slektroej CoonUw Thru Mootht ll Uootht Om Vow Party Committees Get Opportunity CITIZENS elected to the republican and democratic central committees of Klamath county get little op portunity for work. The committees are fairly active be fore general elections, which occur once every two years. Otherwise, they do very little. But now comes a rare opportunity for the central com mitteemen to do a bit of highly important work for their community and their country. We believe most of them will welcome it. Their chairmen. Jack Henry of the demo crats and William Kuykendall of the republicans, have offered the full cooperation of their committees in mak ing a success of "bond pledge day" in Klamath county on January 20. . Beginning on January 20, a campaign is to be made to reach every eligible defense savings bond or stamp purchaser in Oregon with pledge cards agreeing to buy bonds or stamps. This is to be a nationwide effort, but the Oregon campaign will precede those of other states by 20 days. Oregon already leads the nation in defense bond purchases, and the success of the pledgecard effort in this state will show the way for the nationwide attempt. In Klamath county, the January 20 "pledge day" cam paign will be carried out like an election. Pre cincts will be the divisions used. Polling places will be opened and citizens are asked to come voluntarily to look over the pledges, sign them if possible or at least to have their names checked off to show they have been contacted. . Precinct committeemen and committeewomen will have general charge of the effort in each precinct. Regular election boards will help at the polls. After the "elec tion" is held, teams will go to work in each precinct to ' interview each citizen not reached at the polls. - -If this plan succeeds, it will be a feather in the cap of Klamath county, and a credit to the precinct commit- ni.il AfMmtaAnnman Krttt, n Q Y" 1 0 3 Tt Will succeed if work and cooperation are put into it Coppeck Bay and Land Use EXTENSION of permanent farming to additional acre age in the Klamath basin has been suggested as a possibility in the land use studies made periodically in connection with agricultural, outlook conferences, cham ber of commerce surveys, one, the areas suggested for more intensive agricultural use have been brought into the farming picture. Latest success of this kind had to do with the land in the Tule lake sump which is to be permanently reclaimed through completion of the sump and tunnel project, now far along and fully authorized. Long eyed in connection Coppeck bay, a 6000-acre area that forms a bay adjoin ing Tule lake proper, south of the California line. When this writer came to this community a decade ago, Cop peck bay was pointed out land that could be utilized farming area." Coppeck bay lies in the Tule lake sump area. It is a part of the land that was set aside for possible flooding in case of excess water in Tule lake. Not needed thus far for that, it has been leased by the government to private operators, but like other leased land permanent improvements have not been made and it still, techni cally, is flood land. Now the land use and agricultural committees of the chamber of commerce propose that this land be opened to homestead entry at the expiration of present leases in 1946. Thet suggestion will be made to the reclamation bureau. It probably will get no immediate approval; the bureau's present plan does not contemplate such ac tion, and the bureau does not change its plans overnight. But the current proposal may start the ball rolling, and in a few years the thing may be done. No doubt the reclamation bureau will want to await a few years' experience with the tunnel and pump oper ations on Tule lake. These are designed to carry off ex cess water in the Tule lake sump. If it can be proved that there will never be need of the Coppeck bay land for flooding purposes, as a result of the tunnel and pump operations, the bureau should be willing to change its original plan to permit entry on the Coppeck bay area. What the future holds in land utilization in the Klam ath basin challenges the imagination. Men with fore sight and vision must start each project, and thus far there have always been men here to do that. An appeal is being made to Klamath farmers to col lect and sell scrap iron. There isn't as much scrap iron as there used to be, because it was intensively collected for years with Japan as America's best scrap iron cus tomer. The customer isn't always right. Sabotage Is suspected in the case of the Lakeshore drive residents whose cars were drained of gasoline by someone who made no effort to save the gas for himself. Maybe we ought to keep a watch on Upper Klamath lake for submarines. Earl Reynolds, chamber secretary, left this week for Washington, D. C, worried because he could get no hotel reservations in the jammed capital. A wag suggested he take the old sleeping bag along and use the White House lawn, western style. We imagine those Chewaucan ticks in Earl's sleeping bag would have the time of their lives among the well-fed congressmen in Washington. SIGHT MUNCH DRAYTON, N.

News1 BEHINbI By PaulMaliom WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 Mr. Churchill paraded his pro duction dynamo Lord Beaver brook so conspiclously here that a new pressure has been generat ed on the Capitol Hill folk for a complete rcjuggllng of the de fense set-up which would leave one man like the lord on top. The British prime minister is supposed to have talked closely to FOR about eliminating boards upon boards, commissions upon commissions and authority upon authority, as the existing set-up provides. The idea of one war control has caught favor in congress where they say that inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt wants one man to run the price control regime (Mr. Henderson) he should also select one man with authority to cut through the red tape in the de fense production department. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt has not found a production man like Lord Bcaverbrook. He allowed the army and navy to slip into their munitions board a few days back a strange, unconcerned civilian for the first time in his tory. There are rumors that this board will increase its energy and function as a division of sup ply, which is, in effect, the cen tralized purchasing control for which the critics have long pined. too DISCONTENT Mr. Roosevelt has said noth ing. Rumors that his vice presi dent Wallace was to take charge (being at least as ill-suited as anyone mentioned for a purely administrative job) or that VV. L. Batt, the real business organizer in OPM, or perhaps Donald Nel son, the man who is running it now, might be hit by the magic wand, have all been current for days. Seekers have found no con firmation. At bottom, unadvertised, is certainly a personnel fever against continuance of the pres ent set-up. Economists, whose loyalty to Roosevelt antedates the war, are more or less openly spreading discontent with exist ing schedules. They contend vic tory is being vitiated by the fail ure and refusal of anyone to make decisions. t t HENDERSON IN STRONG Price Fixer Leon Henderson has been made the butt of many a congressional barb or joke, but Mr. Roosevelt likes him, and Mr. Henderson, therefore, will continue to be the man whose word is law in prices. The congressmen had an in surrection going against him They thought him impetuous and several other relative things. The grumble against him was large and foreboding. FDR settled all that by dis- patching a private letter to the senate banking and currency committee (considering the legis lation) suppressing an army and navy desire to handle the same matter. Naturally it was not made public. But from the in tonations of the White House move, the congressional authori ties gathered that the president was not adverse to letting Hen derson. singlehanded, run the price show. The whole idea was Missis sippi mud to legislators, but they recognized that Mr. Roosevelt was running this war, and they only hoped Henderson's equi librium (manifest in the many corridor and cloakroom confer ences which he has been hold ing ad infinitum lately with the congressmen) might be main tained. too Don't be too quick about add ing up the navy announcements of their successes with those of the army. If you do you will conclude the army has sunk more Jap ships than the navy. It is true the army sank that initial Jap battleship, a sub marine off the west coast, etc. But the navy has a wise policy of concealing its successes; its announced successes Include the damaging of a battleship of the Kongo class, innumerable trans ports and destroyers sunk by submarines. Other submarine sinkings will be coming out now that sufficient time has expired. But you can count on It, the army and marine corps have, to date, been far more successful in this war than the navy. Tulelake Red Cross Fund Nearing Quota TULELAKE With only $20 to go, the Tulelake Red Cross emergency fund will go over the top ahd the northern California town will have done it's bit nobly in the present world crisis. Subscriptions may be left at the Bank of America or given to Mrs. Lillian Geaney, local Red Cross chairman. The emergency quota is in addition to the mem bership quota subscribed the last of November. A man of our world would be able to leap lo a height of 1000 feet if he could live on Mars.

Transportation News L CLEVELAND. Jan. 12 Reor ganization of what is considered the strongest fraternal insurance plan operated by any labor or ganization in tho country was announced hero by David U. Robertson, international presi dent of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen and Englncmcn Tho reorganized insurance plan, effective January 1, is ex pected to provide more and bet ter Insurance service for tho 100. 000 members of the IILF&K on a bnsis of the lowest adequate cost to tho policy holders. The insurance, department of the union, with present assets of $23,500,000. has been serving brotherhood members for 61 years on a flat rale basis. Hut to actuaries and other experts who have long oilvled the BLF&E on Insurance matters, it becamo apparent some years ago that n slightly higher charge, varying with the type of Insur ance desired, would eventually be necessary to safeguard the in terests of policy holders. When the BLFfcK Insurance department was started In 18110. policy holders paid $1 a month per $1000 worth of Insurance and tho policy was paid upon death or for the loss of n hand, foot or eye. In 1009 the flnt rate charge was raised to $1 10 per month on corn $1000 policy and has remained at that figure until now. "On the basis of the long ex perience of this organization In the Insurance field. It was appar- ; pnt some time ago that a change I fmm II, i fiirmni fin, v..,.. ...... ment plan was mandatory." Rob- ertson snia. "under the new plan, authorized by delegates to our last International conven tion, the Insurance department will not only be of more service to -the members, but will he based on an Impregnable founda tion." Under the new plan, all hold ers of the former policies will receive the benefit of the equit ies they have built up. They will have their choice of the dif ferent policies and may carry any policy in a reduced amount for the present cost of $1.10 a month per $1000 or In Its full ! face value at the Increased cost less the reduction due to them j through their equity. New pur chasers of policies will pay the new adequate rates according i to age at entry All of the new policies to be i sold, or which will be exchanffert for the old certificates, will hove a cash surrender value, some thing thot did not apply to the oia policies.

A table on the reverse j side if the form shows the amount or lax on increasing amounts of gross Income after the proper allowance of $400 for each dependent, If any. The tax under tho simplified method Is the sumo for each $25 block of gross Income and the taxpayer need only ascertain In which block his gross Income (less allowance for dependents! falls In determine his tax. A flat reduction of 10 per cent has been made In arriving ut the amount of tax shown In the table for de ductions such as charitable con tributions and taxes paid, so that the taxpayer who uses this method does not list these but gets an automatic deduction of 10 per cent. Under the simplified method the status of a person on the last doy of the taxable year is the governing factor In determining tho exemption level ($7.10 for Blnglo persons and married per sons not living with husband or wife, and $1500 for married per sons living together) as well as tho credit for dependents. A husband and wife living to gether on the lust duy of the tax able year may file separate re turns on Form 1040A If tho gross Income of each Is from tho pre scribed sources and does not ex ceed $3000, or they may file a single joint return on that form If their combined Incomo Is from the prescribed sources and docs not exceed $3000. If they file a separate return tho tax liability of each under tho simplified method is the tax Imposed upon a single person. If husband and wife file separato returns and only one elects to mako a return on Form 1040A, the tox liability of the one so electing is tho tax Imposed upon a single person. If they file a single Joint return, or if only one spouse makes a re turn because the other spouse has no gross income, the tax lia bility is the tax Imposed upon a married person. Tho use of the simplified method is optional with tho tax payer, but once an election has been made for any year, it Is Ir revocable for that year. If a tax payer files a return under the simplified method for the tax able year, he may not thereafter filo a return under the general provisions of tho law for that year. Conversely, if ho flics a return under tho general pro visions for any taxable year, he may not thereafter file a return DIAL, US7i Nmv Playing' Joan Blondell John Wayne in HLAjWY FOR A NIGHT' Feature Times Mat. 2i4S Eve. 7i45 9:58 Ml 1 oiancy Thai's So Easy' Hounrtiolof ArU ir Alice llrooks Sin art To Make Mlltt'llillR Senrf Kmli or HiiflYt Set Too 7108 News, Household Arts Dept , Klamath Kails Do not ncml this picture, but Keep It and tho num. ber for reference IJo miro lo wrap coin securely, its m loo&a coin often slips out of the, en velope Requests f'r intlorn should read.
