Quiz on Bond ECAUSE of the many questions which have arisen in rnnnnrrion with bond Dledsre day. scheduled in Klam- D .iu ,,.,(,. Tuaaf this column today nppears in ques tion and answer form. The questions were put by us to Andrew M. Collier, county defense savings chairman, lney are designed to clear up matters which may not be fully understood in connection with the effort. Here are the questions and answers: Q What is the purpose of bond pledge day? A The government has appealed to us to reach every wage earner and person financially able to buy bonds or stamps, to secure their pledges. , , Q What is the purpose of opening the pollsT A We are opening the voting places in every precinct in the county to make it easier for our citizens to register their pledges and help the precinct committeemen and committee women complete this tremendous task asked by our government. Also it is the Klamath way of doing a Job on a voluntary basis. Q Is this intended to "put anybody on the spot T A No The government has asked that we secure all pledges possible including those who are already buying bonds or have pledged through a payroll allotment plan and we are assured no one will ever be embarrassed by having signed or not signed these pledges. Who will see the pledges after they are signed? A These pledges are made in triplicate, one copy being re tained by the pledger and the original and duplicate being sent to the state headquarters in Portland. One copy will be for warded to the treasurer of the United States. The county de fense committee and the democratic and republican central com mittee workers and election boards are not interested in check ing individual amounts pledged they are interested in aiding our people to report 100 per cent for this honor roll for the gov ernment. Q If you do not feel you can pledge to buy should you go to the polls? A Yes, go to the polls, take a pledge card, and indicate that on your pledge. You will be aiding in this campaign in Klamath county if you do that much. It will avoid the necessity of committeemen calling at your home. q u. you are already buying stamps or bonds, should you go to the polls? A Yes. There li a place on the pledge card for noting what you are now doing. The government asks that those already buying or who have bought place their names on the honor roll with this pledge. ... Q If you pledge but later are not able to buy as pledged, what should you do? f . A The matter Is entirely voluntary with you. Tha pledge provides you may quit at any time if unable to buy, without .any notice whatever to any party. Note that the pledge says "as long as I am able." Q If you cannot pledge monthly or weekly because of the manner In which you receive your income, what should you do? A There is a space provided on the pledge for you to write in any manner of payment which you wish either quarterly, semi-annually or annually. We do not want anyone to pledge anything they cannot do. Q What is the range of pledge? A Pledges may be made as low as 23 cents a week, but Secretary Morgenthau has suggested that a pledge of 10 to 15 per cent of our income might not be unreasonable to expect from many persons. The upper limit in "E" bonds is $312.50 a month, and we hope many of our citizens will join this limit club. Q If I buy a bond and wish to cash it before the maturity date, can I do so? A You can cash the bond any time after 60 days at the full face value. Definite cash value is guaranteed by the govern ment on the face of the bond if cashed at anytime after the 60 days, including accumulated interest. Q Is this pledge an order for bonds or stamps. A It Is not an order. To complete the pledge you must go to your bank, postoffice or federal savings and loan association and make your own purchases. Q Who is in charge of the bond pledge day effort? A The democratic and republican central committees, the county clerk and sheriff and the election boards have volunteered to handle bond pledge day in Klamath county. Q Can you pledge to buy stamps? A Yes, that is definitely a part of the program. Purchase of a stamp is a step toward purchase of a bond. Those who can not pledge to buy bonds on a periodical basis may buy stamps, or they can accumulate credit with their employer through the payroll allotment plan. Q Who should go to the polls? A Everyone who feels like cooperating In this program even a boy or girl who can only buy stamps. Q What do you think the response of the people will be to this effort? A In contacting various election boards and postmasters, all over Klamath county, it appears there is a very warm Interest in this bond pledge day. We have promises of very fine coopera tion from every precinct. We hope to have the biggest appear ance at polls in the history of Klamath county. Panel Discussion Presented by Four Missionaries Here Last night at the First Pres byterian church at a large con gregational dinner, an interest ing and informing panel discus sion was presented by a special zoning team of the Presbyterian denomination, consisting of Dr. John B. Weier, executive secre tary of the India council, the Rev. Harold H. Henderson of Chosen, the Rev. Forrest C. Tra vallle of Thailand, and Miss Blanche Yeomans, formerly mis sionary in South America and now secretary of the western area of the foreign missions board of the Presbyterian church. Tomorrow at the 11 o'clock hour of worship, Dr. Weier will speak on "Behind the Headlines in India." His years of experi ence in India contacting all parts of the country and the fact that the axis powers have had India in their plans will make his ad dress unusually timely. At tha o'clock vesper hour, Nationally by and 81akUo Couotlaa a.00 Pledge Day the Rev. Harold H. Henderson of Taku, Chosen, will speak on "Experiences in Korea." This address is based on years spent in teaching and preaching in Korea and intimate knowledge of the affect of the Japanese oc cupation of that land some years ago. The public is invited to hear both of these speakers.

The Argentine delegate Dr. Ruiz Guinazu started out talking tough at the Pan-American uni fication gathering (and he can be as tough as foreign ministers go.) But all present knew the politically -powerful landlords of his nation would have to be ap peased by any Argentine official who intended to stay in office very long. Their traditional pol icy is so strongly for an indepen dent Argentina that it has de veloped anti-United States into nations. (We do not buy enough of the beet they raise.) Their appeasement one way or another was the only real under lying obstacle to joint severance of diplomatic relations, although Mr. Sumner Welles was also bothered by the fact that our own war necessities will prevent us from delivering all the goods we promised to Latin America before Pearl harbor. This may be offset diplomatically by in creasing our purchases of raw materials from them. We also want an ail-American pooling of ships. (Argentine and Chile have large investments in merchant marine.) If any nazi agents are hang ing around the conference, they will find we are also well rep resented this time in that re spect SUB MENACE Thirty-one nazi submarines were presumed (in some official quarters here) to be off our shores after the tanker Norness was sunk off Montauk. The nazis apparently intended to put on a major demonstration for the conference of American foreign ministers in Rio. The timing proved better than the results. The army and navy are rather proud of the way they broke up the initial Jap sub attack on Pa cific coast shipping, although FDR's warning against excessive submarine - sinking claims has prevented them from saying much. Officially they claimed only a few, but they thought they bagged many more, Judg ing from such inconclusive evi dence as oil spots. Swift cessa tions of the attack confirms their private estimates. Such prowling enemy forays so far from home bases can have no real military effect. o CENSORSHIP It is never the rules of censor ship that are oppressive, only the personal application of them by individual censors, each in temperament from prefer ences. The rules announced by Censor Byron Price merely are those long ago adopted voluntar ily by news-men here at the sug gestion of various government departments, starting back long before Pearl harbor. Few viola tions have developed. But Mr. Price should require each censor to hang above his desk this following counsel from the Harvard Law Review ("American Economic Mobiliza tion"): "Winning the war is para mount, but it would be a sorry commentary on American ideals if this demanded a sacrifice of basic freedoms." STRATEGY Subsequent developments sug gest Mr. Roosevelt's primary purpose in hastening the Nelson reorganization a n n o u ncement was to blunt the timeliness of the Truman report criticizing inef ficiency In the old production setup. The Truman criticism was thus, in a way, made obso lete. This has been a fnvnrtta Roosevelt strategem.

She suggested this way: Get a ffrotin of rhflHrn to gether, and arrange to have some nara rmssue, dropped In front of them from above. Have some grown-up official say, when It hits the ground: "Boom-boom!". Then have the children repeat In a chorus: "Boom-boom." The CIO and AFL lenders present did not immediately jump at the plan, but nleaded perhaps a larger gathering should decide, so the matter seems to be In abeyance. But one male guest suggested to an other while walking out: "I think It would be better if we wmilH nil alln eorfullv tin behind Mayor LaGuardia and Mrs. Kooseveit, and, in a chorus fthntlt "Riflm hnnml Tf mlakl INlSisTTa do mora good.'

What was it that Sherman said again, please? I am wondering if he ever took a good close gander at Form 1040. This week I am going about my business in my normal un occupied way when I am sudden ly in receipt of a pair of thick envelopes which chill me to a temperature which I am not allowed to divulge for 48 hours. Together the envelopes weigh close to a pound and bear a slight resemblance to millstones. I guess they are income tax blanks so I lay them aside with out making sure. The other day I bring them to the office and purely out of curiosity open them up being careful that I am sitting down at the time. ,: ,i I find that (a) they are income tax blanks (b) they are no less involved than usual and (c) I am sorry I opened the envelopes. About the only difference in the one from Uncle Sam and the one from Uncle Charley is that they fold in different places and Uncle Sam is giving easier in stallment terms but still not over 12 months. Sam Sends Two However Uncle Sam further complicates it by enclosing a yellow blank which is known as Form 1040-A. This I am re lieved to discover is an alternate and not an addition. Form 1040-A is a simplified gadget which is so easy to figure out that I suspect a trap. It tells me right off that I owe $5.73, a sum which is only figurative and bears no relation to anything but perhaps what I lost to them Oregon Staters. About this time the boss walks in wearing a smile which is by no means genuine as he is also carrying two envelopes. Well whadda you think? he says dropping his grin. I am at a loss to say, I says by this time having looked back to Form 1040. Offhand I would charge extortion, I add coming suddenly upon Instruction 27. Do these things mean what they say7 I ask knowing full well tho question is pure rhetoric. Yes, he replies understating it greatly. Suspicions Together we sit down to see if we can beat Form 1040-A which Henry Morgenthau Junior says is a service to taxpayers but which only adds to my suspicion. The first part Is easy and merely asks what Is my name and address. This requires only a minimum of thought. It gets tougher quickly how ever particularly at Item 7 which Is net short-term gain from sale DIAL -"" J ? f I NOW PLAYING It's Am Big with GLENN MARCH BevaaMteatsMa a. ., i n mir e tm i "NORWAY IN REVOLT" DISNEY PLUTO COLOR CARTOON LATEST MFTRrt KPWR or? or exchange of capital assets and net long-term gain from same ! and net gain (or loss) from same.

Hers also I lose the boss who is wondering about a sack of I potatoes which he has finally sola alter Hoarding them since October. I ignore Item 9 which is in come (or loss) from partnerships; fiduciary income and other in comes principally because I am not sure about fiduciary and the society editor is using the dic tionary. I do my best on deductions. I go through computation of tax only by going without lunch which is becoming apparent as a smart economic move anyway. After a bout with tho busi ness department's adding ma chine which has never been known to lie about income, I find that my final answer is $5.73, which is what Mr. Mor genthau Junior said in the first place. Meantime the boss has decid ed not to collect for the potatoes and we both go out, hoping that the Janitor will throw tho blanks away by mistake. We then decide that the add ing machine is wrong and we will put it off for another day. After all it is only January. CONFERENCE TABLE When President Roosevelt convenes his advisers to discuss the momentous issues of the day, it is around a large ma hogany table recently presented to tho White House for cabinet sessions by Secretary of Com merce Jesse Jones. Twenty feet long and eight feet wide, this table is shaped to permit Mr. Roosevelt a central position, from which he can see and hear all. 3262 ENDS TUESDAY An The Lone ? 2 Star State UhcU!
