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

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.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 Not
the Argentine government
officials, not nazi agents, but the
rich hacienda owners of Argen
tina were the real obstacles to
unanimity at Rio.
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.
BOOM, BOOM
Favorite Washington story Is
the one ahnnt a InHv civilian
fense official who called in a
group of labor leaders to im

taken' to prepare the children

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

Sherman Could Have Nicely
Described This Income Tax
Business, Says Mr. Leonard
By BOB LEONARD
Hello, folks. 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

or exchange of capital assets and
net long-term gain from same !
and net gain (or loss) from same.
Clear At Mud
Here It says that capital assets
means property held by the tax-1
payer (whether or not connected '
I with his trade or business) but ;
not stock in trade or other prop- j
ierty of a kind which would be 1
'properly included in his inven- '
1 lory if on hand at the close of !
! the year or property held by ;
the taxpayer primarily for sale
to customers in the ordinary
course of his trade or business
or property used in the trade
or business of a character which
is subject to the allowance for '
depreciation provided in section
23 (1) or an obligation of the
United States or its possessions
or of a state or territory or any
political subdivisions thereof or
of the District of Columbia issu
ed on or after March 1, 1941. on I
a discount basis and payable I
without interest at a fixed ma- j
turity date not exceeding one i
year from the date of issue.
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.
