PUZZLES II FEW
BPRAGUE RIVER At least
two Sprague River residents
agree that the new daylight
savings time Is all right u it isn't
overdone. In the first instance,
Mrs. Ben Wolford turned the
clock ahead one hour late Sun
day evening. Mr. Wolford, a lit
tle while later, unaware of Mrs.
Wolford's action, took the pre
caution to turn the clock ahead.
When tho alarm rang at the
wake-up hour, the Wolfords got
up and prepared for the day's
work. It was a long period of
darkness before the scheduled
daylight and only after an inves
tigation and a good many rib
bings did the Wolfords realize
that loyalty to Uncle Sam's
cause can be overdone.
In the second instance, Doc
Keller's clock stopped Just be
fore bedtime. He got the time
at the pool hall nearby, then set
it ahead an hour. The pool hall
had set their clock ahead and
Doc gave an extra hour to Uncle
Sam. He was quite disturbed at
the failure of a local store to
open on schedule until he was
overwhelmingly proved to be
wrong.

Tout Federal
Income Tax
No. 34
DEDUCTION FOR TAXES I
In general, taxes are deductl
ble only by the person upon
whom they are imposed.
Taxes on real estate and per
sonal property paid during the
year 1941 are deductible. So
called taxes which are assessed
against local benefits, such as
streets, sidewalks, drainage, and
other like Improvements, are not
deductible but are to be capital
ized, as they tend to increase the
valua of the property and thus
constitute cost of a permanent
Improvement. The federal in
come tax may not be deducted.
Income tax, however, paid to the
state by an Individual on his in
come la an allowable deduction
in his federal income tax return.
Customs duties paid by a per
son on articles imported for his
own use are deductible. Im
port or tariff duties paid to cus
toms officers; and business, li
censes, privilege, excise, and
tamp taxes paid to Internal reve
nue collectors are deductible as
taxes, provided they are not
added to ana made a part oi tne
expenses of the business or the
cost of the articles of merchan
dise with respect to which they
are paid, in which case they can
not be deducted separately as
a tax. The 'purchaser may not
deduct the federal tax of 10 per
cent on the retail sale of jew
elry, furs, and toilet prepar
ations. The federal tax of 1 cent
for each 10 cents or fraction
thereof paid for admission to
any place la deductible, provided
an account has been kept by the
taxpayer of the amount paid.
Taxes on club dues are deducti
ble by the member paying them.
An individual may deduct the
tax on his telephone conversa
tions, radio messages, telegrams,
and cables and on the rent of
his safe-deposit box.
, Unemployment compensation
contributions required under a
state law, if officially classified
as taxes, are deductible as taxes
and not as business expenses.
The excise taxes imposed up
on employers by the social se
curity act, as amended, are de
ductible, but the tax imposed on
employes by that act is not de
ductible. If an employer pays
: such tax for the employes, the
amount may be deducted by the
employer as a business expense,
and the employes are required to
report as additional income in
their federal income-tax returns
the amounts of the tax so paid
for them.
License fees exacted by a state
or city upon certain businesses
are deductible as taxes. Auto
mobile license fees are ordin
arily taxes and deductible. Pos
tage Is not a tax and is not deductible.
Federal estate and gift taxes
and state inheritance, estate, leg
acy, or succession taxes are not
deductible. The federal taxes on
o automobiles, gasoline, cigarettes,
. and liquor are imposed upon the
manufacturer, producer, or im
porter, and are not deductible
by the purchaser or consumer.
Whether or not the gasoline tax,
the use tax, or the sales tax
levied, by a state may be deduct
ed by the individual purchaser
depends upon the terms of the
state law imposing the tax; con
sequently, the right to the de
duction, as between purchaser
and seller, varies in the dif
ferent states.
It all amounts to a total loss
when you spend all your money
to prove that you have it.

WAR TIME
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor): Would like to offer
a few suggestions in answer to
the letter In last night's paper
W. H. in regards to the new day
light saving time, causing chil
dren to start out before daylight
to go to school. It it's dangerous
for them, I suggest you take
them, that is little enough sacri
fice to make. Or will there have
to be a well placed bomb to
wake you up to the fact that
there is a war. Even a better
suggestion. If I were "YOU" I
would write to Representative
Walter M. Fierce and maybe he
will come and take your little
boy to the bus line.
Sincerely,
MRS. M. M. MORGAN.
P. S. If you can't get him up
early enough, turn the alarm up
an hour too.
GOD'S VALENTINES
The grass and the flowers, the
shrubs and the trees;
The songs of the birds and the
buzz of the bees;
The warm springtime rains, the
fog and the dew;
The sun shining on them, all
freshened anew;
The brooks and the rivers, the
lakes ail so blue;
The grand rugged mountains,
of different hue;
The sunrise and sunset, on!
mountains and beach;
The beauties of oceans, and
things they can teach;
The beauties of moonbeams or
shine of a star;
All of God's scenery, both near
and so far;
These all are God's valentines.
The toddling child, the baby
in arms;
Children at school, their smiles
and their charms;
Girl soon to be maid, boy soon
to be youth;
With pep. vim and vigor and
sensing of truth;
Maid soon to be woman, youth
soon to be man;
With pride and ambition, life's
sunrise they scan;
The loved and the lover, the
bridegroom and bride;
Then the honeymoon after,
pure joy they can't hide;
Then the sunset of life, no
shame for the past;
The years growing sweeter, as
they roll by so fast;
These, too, are God's valentines.
The thought and the intent, the
wish and the deed;
In helping another, so ' sorely
in need;
The smile of goodwill, and the
spoken word, too.
With tone of goodwill and an
- attitude true;
Condemning not other good
.souls for a view;
That different from ours, like
tne old from the new;
With sympathy for those who
are puzzled and sad:
And smiles everywhere, to
make life still more glad;
Then Christ, with His love, our
ransom to pay;
Is all these combined, forever
and aye;
He then is God's valentine.
In appreciation.

ON ALIEN CAMP
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) Having read of the
proposed alien camp at Tule
lake, I would like to know just
who a few farmers think they
are anyway. Are they really

concerned about the country's
welfare, or are they thinking
primarily of cheap labor? I
have no sympathy for any
Japanese aliens but slavery was
abolished once, so why start it
again?
The remark about not being
sure whether they should be
paid or not may have been an
incentive for some of the favor
able votes by prospective employers.
It the government wants an
alien camp here, fine, but it it
is a voting matter, why should
a handful of farmers be the
only ones eligible to vote on
such a measure?
If they are to be employed,
by all means let them be paid
a standard wage. We, the con
sumers, will get no cut rates
when we go to purchase the
products.
Anyone knows these people
must be relocated some place.
and if our army officials say
to put them here, then they are
the boss, but I still think they
should be placed on land under
government supervision, then,
whether they were paid or not,
no one individual will profit at
another's expense.
I don t like minorities, and
I don't like selective balloting,
and I am for such stout souls
as Mr. Otis Osborn. Yep, he's

CONGRESS PENSIONS
ALGOMA. Ore. (To the Edi
tor): Can you please tell me
where I can get more detailed
information concerning the re
cent pension our single-minded
legislators took time out to allot
themselves? I understand it was
slipped In as a "rider" to some
bill, and if so, what was the
bill? Also is it possible to find
out how the Oregon legislators
voted on it?
A reader in a Montana paper
has termed it a "Hog Harbor,"
and under the circumstances it
seems a more than usually ap
propriate name; coming as the
action docs at a tlmo when other
Americans are sacrificing their
lives for their country.
Sincerely,
DOROTHY KEELING.
Editor's Note: A movement Is
underway in congress to repeal
the pension measure. Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas says
that a Kansas congressman, who
would have objected to unani
mous consent on the measure,
received a mysterious call to a
telephone at the moment the is
sue came up. When he got to the
telephone, he was told to wait.
He failed to receive a call, re
turned to the house floor, and
found the action had been taken.
'To You. Our Fallen Buddies"
The barracks now are silent
Where once your laughter rang;
The steel guitar is broken
Where around your bunks we
sang.
As the stars give way to morning
In Oahu's cold-swept sky.
Old Glory's proudly waving
there
Seeped in Heroes' crimson dye!
Can you hear us there in Heaven
As the dawn patrol takes flight?
On silvery wings your memory
soars
In holy Freedom'! flglitl
The Kona winds blow softly
now,
The palm trees whisper low;
But all America will remember
Whence came this dastards' blow
Let the Nipponese remember this
As they cringe beneath the sky
At Hlckam's flaming vengeance
For you the first to dlel
(The above poem, titled "To
You, Our Fallen Buddies," was
written, amid the wreckage of
Hickam field, by Private Joe
Brlmm early in the morning of
December 8, 1041. tho dawn
after Pearl Harbor.)

WORLD WAR II
1942
History repeats itself in World War II. Sugar has been called to
war again. Our government has restricted the use of sugar for all.
Naturally, that includes Coca-Cola.
You'll continue to find Coca-Cola around the corner from any
where, though .we regret that you won't be able to enjoy the pause
that refreshes as often as you might like. Our volume has been re
duced. But this we pledge: the character of Coca-Cola will be
unimpaired. The American people can continue to trust its quality.
As in 1917, we count upon the patience of dealers everywhere.
Conserving sugar is another step toward Victory. Whatever any of
us may have, or may not have, Victory we must have above all else!
You trust its quality
