Sacks, Boxes and Spuds
A SHORTAGE of burlap, as a result of the Pacific war
A and heavy army demand for the material, is a factor
in the potato shipping outlook in this area. Burlap stocks
Yinur tltaAV.1v reduced, and there may not be enougn

potatoes, but other containers can be used. Cotton bags
are the first substitute suggested. Paper bags may also
be used. A Klamath dealer in potatoes reports a possible
shortage in both of these, however. Finally, there is the
possibility of using wooden boxes or crates, a measure
long discussed but practiced very little here in the last
ten years. , . .
Last year, some may recall, a rather heavy shipment
of potatoes went out of Malin, packed in wooden crates.
These potatoes were destined for use by the Matson
Steamship company. This shipment, and. other experi
ments that have been made, show it is possible to ship
potatoes in wooden containers, and the burlap shortage
may result, eventually, in bringing together at last Klam
ajth's two leading products potatoes and wooden boxes.
In the meantime, it is well for farmers to consider
the need for careful conservation of all available burlap.

Not Long
Ik current discussion of parking problems in the busi
J ness district, a suggestion has been made that down
town parking be limited to one-half hour.
Regardless of what other steps may be taken in the
parking situation, certainly it would be a mistake to cut
the parking limit to hajf an hour. It is not long enough.
It would work to the detriment of downtown business.
Ii would be unenforceable without adding materially to
the police force; but if it were enforced, it wouia De un
fair to the public. .
I Not. much can be accomnlished in half an hour. Peo
pfle usually have to wait longer than that f or, the,doctor,
for service in the barber shops ana Deauty panors, ana
shopping errands often consume more time than that sug
gested. -
i The': proposal for half-hour parking is unsound,
should "not be given further consideration.
j
Eliminate Tire Hazards
i
CTATE, city and county road and street authorities may
well consider the need for elimination of every pos
sible tire hazard in this time of rubber shortage. These
agencies-face a period of restricted construction, due to
the war emergency. It is a good time to devote special
attention to making the existing roads safer for tires.
It has been suggested here that the stop street warn
ing buttons be removed from local streets. As soon as
feather permits, a great deal of patching can be done
t lessen the jolts on pavement that has suffered in the
inter season. ' . . .
County roads need some attention directed particularly
at eliminating tire hazards." For instance, the O. C. & E.
cj-ossing on Summers lane is in bad condition and should
be repaired to eliminate the danger to tires on the many
vehicles using that important street.
j The state highway commission may well make greater
use of its magnet truck, which picks up metal tire hazards
ffom the state highways. State highway maintenance is
especially important in this period.
S These are things the road and street authorities can
do to help motorists conserve their tires in the emergency
period. They will be greatly appreciated.

THEOT
By PaULHaLLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 Mr.
Roosevelt did not go very
deep into the barrel for his
choice of William K. Davis as
head of the war labor board.
Before the selection, he sent
Madame Perkins to sound out
AFL and CIO. The labor secre
tary found these warring labor
factions together again in their
complete lack of enthusiasm for
Mr. Davis,
The president also asked Com
merce Secretary Jesse Jones to
inquire into the attitude of busi
ness through the chamber of
commerce and National Associa
tion of Manufacturers. Mr. Jones
could have used Lady Perkins'
report. Business was likewise un
sympathetic. But Miss Perkins, Sidney Hal-
man and Davis wanted Davis and
Mr. Roosevelt apparently
thought the widely -disapproved
mediations chairman had done
as well as could be expected.
(They were all friends of old
days in New York).
So the Davis mediation board
was merely rejuggled. Half its
members, including the chair
man, were allowed to alight In
the new board. The old office
staff was retained, even the old
office and the old telephone num
ber. Business and labor had no se
vere complaints against Mr.
Davis except they thought the
failures of the mediation board
(captive mine fiasco and all)
could best be forgotten if a fresh
personality could be brought in
to give the wartime truce be
tween business and labor a
stronger character in the new
setup. Business also did not like
his speeches 'favoring general
unionization and labor did not
care for some of bis appearances
in the movie newsreels.
WILL IT WORK?
Thus nothing is guaranteed
about how the new board will
work out. Several business
leaders have made it clear they
will not arbitrate the closed
shop issue. They will surrender
their plants first.
The Kearny shipbuilding
case, unsettled by the old board,
will be one of the first cases to
confront the new board, now that
the navy has turned that plant
back to private management.
Labor, on the other hand, ex
pects arbitration. It notes the
wording of Mr. Roosevelt's exec
utive order, stating the board can
fix its own rules for compulsory
arbitration, . and interprets this
to mean the closed shop or any
thing else can be submitted to
arbitration by a majority vote of
the board.
Obviously someone is going to
be disappointed.
IMAGINARY
The tall tale that the army has
discovered an enemy spy ring
among the troops apparently is
an imaginative outgrowth of the
official disclosure that a counter
espionage system exists. Army
has only picked up a few stray
soldiers who did not look or
sound right.
Navy Secretary Knox implied
the country would be agreeably
surprised when the navy felt
free to make public its sinkings
of nazl subs. Talk among navy
personnel (not by any means of
ficial) is that about 100 axis subs
have thus far hit the bottom for
good, 30 in the Atlantic before
the war actually began.
The Dutch dropped 'nitrogly
cerine in the oil wells around
Tarakan and the British have
made a practice of arming civil
ians with axes to cut down rub
ber trees in front of the Jap ad
vance, but .no one here is confi
dent that needy Japan will be
denied these essential war re
sources for very long. Many
Dutch oil wells are expected to
be out of commission six months
at least, and it takes five years
to grow a rubber tree. Yet as
surances as to the extent of the
damage are lacking.
STRAUS MAY QUIT
It seems to be unanimous that
Nathan Straus should resign as

head of U. S. housing. His office
force circulated a petition ex
pressing some more or less af
fectionate regards in that direc
tion. Straus had criticized other
federal housing units so severely
the USHA cannot get money
from congress or cooperation
from anyone in the government.
But, even in resignation, Mr.
Straus may have been too strong.
He submitted his resignation to
the president in such critical
terms as to have delayed its ac
ceptance. His office forco hears
arrangements are under way for
Mr. Straus to resign in much
milder .language.
The brown cover handbook
for air raid wardens from the
office of civilian defense, (Janu

Fill your bath tubs with water
before an air raid. But the mime
ographed instructions from the
local OCD for the metropolitan
area advised (January 2): Don't
fill your bath tubs.
Local OCD says it fears a
water shortage if everyone fills
his tub while national OCD fears
you would not have Water tf the
main is cut.
Perplexed air raid wardens
may fear there has been more
confusion in OCD than La
Guardia cared to admit.
Select-ion of
Nelson Important
Move Says Fuller
NEW YORK, Jan. 15 OP)
Walter D. Fuller, chairman of
the National Association of Man
ufacturers, told the Advertising
Club of New York today that
President Roosevelt's selection
of Donald Nelson as war produc
tion chief was among the most
important moves since declara
tion of war emergency.
"The president has selected a
man without peer in the business
world," Fuller declared.
"When the president writes
into law (as he has indicated he
will do)," Fuller added, "com
plete and unequivocal authority
to a single war production chief,
he will have made the most im
portant move since the declara
tion of the war emergency and
by this wise, courageous delega
tion of power, assured the entire
nation of fulfillment of our com
mon aim to massacre the axis by
mass production."

TAX FACTS
KLAMATH FALLS (To the
Editor) Your articles In re
gard to the income tax ore very
good and will help a lot with
those who are able to put them
together. However, there are a
lot of people who cannot digest
the whole subject of income tax
laws and regulation, therefore
I would like to present a few of
the general principles of the new
tax law.
First two simple definitions:
(a) Net Income means the Income
nftfr tnltinif nil nllnwnhlft define-
tirtrtu nnrl h,.'ri-tf tho nerwnnl fX.
cmption and credit for depend
ents; (b) Taxable Income means
tho Income left after subtracting
the personal exemptions from
the net income.
Now it is this taxable income
which we must keep our eyes on
in order to properly arrive at
the amount of the tax,
A great number of people
have o-sked me: "Why is the tax
so much higher this yeor, con
sidering there is no change In tho
normal rate of 4 per cent?
The answer Is: Because of the
new basis and levy for the sur
tax. Last year there was no surtax
on taxable Income under $4000.
This year there Is a 4 per cent
normal tax and 0 per cent surtax
on every dollar of taxable in
come up to $2000, and above
this up to $4000 there is a nor
mal tax of 4 per cent and a sur
tax of 0 per cent. From hero on
the surtax continues to rise, as
shown on the forms. Instruction
No. 27.
The puzzling problem of
which form to use can readily be
solved in this manner. First: esti
mate your entire Income from
all sources; second: subtract all
allowable deductions. This will
give you your net income. From
this net income subtract your
personal exemption, and credit
for dependents, if any. This will
give you your taxablo Income
for the surtax. Compute this tax
on all surtax income at 6 per
cent.
From surtax Income subtract
your earned income credit and
the balance is your normal tax-
