MALCOLM KPLEY Managmp Editor Today's Roundup News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Speaker Rayburn's announced leadership of a democratic campaign to clean the administration of bureau- ""ISI!cIS 'TTS crats may have sounded like a j!13 political wonder of wonders. F . Hill nnt in nnvr.no ,r. heard what his Texas con stituents have been telling him in private and public lately. Since the moment last ses sion when he came out in favor of congress passing a simple resolution granting full war powers to the president (which was not done), Mr. Ray- burn has been cut steadily with increasing criticism from the folks back home. AU democrats have, but particularly those from the southwest, Texas and Oklahoma, where the astounding defeat of Josh Lee has made all current southwestern legislators eager for a new New Deal. The reformation of the administration, there fore, is certainly to be sincerely pursued, but how far it will go and how soon are other matters yet to be determined. Br MALCOLM EPLEY AS If customary at the opening of a legisla tive season, the courthouse rumbles with talk of salary increases. Salaries of elective - officers are fixed by state law. and any adjustment must come through the Salem channel. Salaries of county employes which can be fixed here were a generally boosted in the last 1 M ,1, year . uusuue ui tiic rratv due inn- honey of the Linkville district is a direct actionist on the sal ary business. He is already in Salem, and he is reportedly asking for $300 a month, a 50 I -A 14 Paul Malloa SIDE GLANCES Epley per cent increase over the $200 he now re ceives. That is quite a request, and it is probable that Joe has his sights somewhat higher than the mark he expects to hit. A salary of 5300 a month for the j. p. would be far out of line with the pay received by various county offi cers, and if others were to be brought into line, huge increases would be given the sheriff, clerk, district attorney, etc. The sheriff gets $250, the clerk $200, the dis trict attorney $225, the assessor $200, and the treasurer $175. One of these jobs entails personal danger as well as responsibility. Another has an absolute requirement on special training and education. All of them carry heavy responsibility. The county budget committee, we learn, agreed to a recommendation for the $300 for the j. p. How the budget committee could now re-.' fuse to recommend that much, or more, for the county elective officers, if asked, is difficult to see. But no such boost would have a chance of passing. What will probably happen is a movement among the county officials for a moderate in crease, such as 15 per cent. Times and condi tions being what they are, some such reason able proposal as that will probably make headway. Justice Pay Basis IN justice to Mr. Mahoney, it should be said that he has conducted his office in an effi cient manner, and handles a ' large volume of business in his court. An increase in . his pay, in line with that received by other courthouse officials, would be in order. There-is some con cern among the officials in the county family that Joe's lone-wolf move for a high increase may kick back against an attempt for a gen eral moderate increase. It seould not be per mitted to have that effect The justice pay, incidentally, is now handled on a fee basis that is, he gets up to $200 a month out of various fees received through his office, all above $200 going to the county. Mr. Mahoney, it is understood, favors placing his pay on a flat basis, which is a sounder and more sensible method. . A flat basis for all justices of the peace pay, based, for example, on the population of the justice district, would make more sense than the present method. As it is, a justice has to get business into his office in order to make any pay. That creates a situation that is not de sirable. In a large district, such as Linkville, amre business comes in anyhow to give the justice his maximum pay. But in smaller districts, the justice court business is usually not heavy enough to give the justice $2400 a year, and what he makes depends upon the amount of business in his court. Let's Get Going AS this is written, a fight over the senate presidency is holding up the inaugural of Governor Earl Snell and may delay the start of the state's legislative machinery. People generally are tolerant of the poli ticians and their foibles, but any protracted row over the senate presidency is going to generate public disgust. A few hours of that sort of thing is enough. In ordinary times, people might be willing to let the senate fight for a week or ten days over the presidency, because the public itself would be interested in it as in a sporting event. But the public, which is busy now with a war, is not going to appreciate the senators fooling a lot of time away on a political squabble The sooner the senators end their presidency tussle and get down to other business, the bet ter we all will like it. Here's our thanks, in advance, for the man who makes the first move to break the deadlock by jumping his pledge or promoting a compromise. Why is it, anyhow, that the senate should have an even number of members, and the house an even number of members? If there were 31 senators instead of 30, a deadlock would be impossible. Paging Leon SOME wag told a local woman that she would find a man named Leon Henderson at the county rationing office and advised her to take her rationing troubles to him. The woman went to the ration headquarters, where her eye alighted on Gene Larsen, tly new executive secretary of the board. She con cluded he was Leon and she wouldn't take his disclaimer for an answer. After she had filed her complaint she went her way, still cajling Larsen Leon. No one seamed certain whether the woman knew about the real Leon Henderson. I she didn't, she's one American out of 130,000,000. Roosevelt Was Wise MR. ROOSEVELT, in his wise and concilia tory opening message to congress, went to the unprecedented length of avoiding mention of controversial legislation or reform issues, al though the purpose of such a message is J.o present legislative recommendations. He just used one insistent line about extend ing social security, which was hardly notice able. His purpose was to establish agreeable aus pices for the opening, and the republicans and other critics joined in the advisable temporary truce, by smoothing over their comment or re fraining entirely. In effecting this truce by ex ample, the message established a new plane of strong, agreeable, sensible leadership. But the game of democrats working on the job in congress is a little different, as witness the above related predicament of Mr. Rayburg. They are trying to absolve Mr. Roosevelt from responsibility and take leadership in their housecleaning away from the republicans who have come here thinking they were elected to do it in a strong, objective, war-winning way. No one has knuckled down to the details yet, the details which, will mean everything or noth ing. 1 How much reforming of the reformers is to be done, therefore, will await negotiation over each detail between the scared democratic legis lators, the firebreathing, earnest republicans and the conciliatory Mr. Roosevelt. Martin's Troubles REPUBLICAN Joe Martin Is going to be a dif ferent kind of a leader in the house this year. He has been handicapped previously by be ing also chairman of the republican national com mittee and always try ing to satisfy two or more opposing party groups. His one great remaining disability (not uncommon in this con gress) is that he repre sents a mixed district of both labor and foreign affairs sentiment. Behind him in the house, however, this time , will be the dozens of new republicans with pitchforks who are bent on 'tossing the hay around in the adminis- Utfk fr - - - cowl, mi iy r smvKC. iwc T m. are, u.

DELIGHT YOUR FAMILY WITH THIS PANEL JOE MARTIN Leader tration stable. Long War MR. ROOSEVELT, in his message, did not ex pect the end of the war this year. He did hint at a hope of the end next year when he said this two-year congress might handle the peace. With a seven-million-man army and tremen dous plane and tank production accumulated, and offensives starting in Africa and the Far East, you may wonder why the president puts the conclusion so far in the future. The only available explanation is that such great distances and so many battle fronts are involved that action generally takes twice as long as anyone expects. There is another angle. The president would hardly express his maximum hope in view of the necessity for cautious leadership. Softer Way DO not fall into the error of believing, how ever, that Mr. Roosevelt is thinking in any narrower terms of the post-war world than Vice President Wallace. Mr. Roosevelt merely put it in another and softer way. He said freedom from want must be provided in America and he built that non controversial hope up high. But, at the end he mentioned in an off-hand way that prosperity here will depend upon prosperity throughout the world. Thus, he assumed American responsibility for prosperity in the post war world, which is the basis of Mr. Wallace's more detailed expressions. His speech will in no way be restrictive of future White House moves in the way Mr. Wallace has been working.

One of these days If the matches you buy are about a quarter of an inch shorter, that vill mean seven million board feet of wood saved. Shortening of match sticks is being consid ered by match manufacturers and the WPB to conserve the supply. Meantime, the WPB is asking us to think twice before striking matches wastcf ully, Every year we use more than 500 billion matches, but more are needed this year because of the increased use by the armed forces and for exports to conn tries where they are scarce. Mrs. America's pepper shakers should be filled for at least two years, judging frbm the present supplies stored in this country, In some sections, however, nor mal distribution has been upset slightly. But this is because some owners anticipated higher ceiling prices. However, the OPA has assured them that there will be no upward revision of prices. Saving for a rainy day means care of your umbrella because a WPB order will restrict the materials which go into its man ufacture. So remember that silk umbrellas need especially good cure for they dry out when not in use. So during a long spell of dry weather, give your silk umbrella a good wetting down occasionally either under the shower garden hose and clean by brushing with a cloth. Oil silk umbrellas can be washed with mild soap and water, rinsed and dried, b'ut handle with care in cold weather for they stiffen and crack easily.

No. 1 WHAT IS INCOME TAXT The Ft'derol Income lux Is, lis tho niiino implies, u lax levied upon Incomes, and It is payable In relation to tho mmiunl of In come. Income, for federal In come tax purposes, means In gen cm! any compensation for one's services, whether tho compensa tion bo In money or in goods or other services; it Includes also tho net value received for the product of one's labor, as farm produce In the case of a farmer; Income from Investinenls; profit from business operations; and other gains from sales unci ex changes of goods and property. Certain limited categories of in comu are, however, lax exempt, and to the extent of such exemp tion oio excluded in computing tho tux. Uecuusu of exemptions from thu tux given to persons having less than certain stated amounts of Income, as well as because of various deductions and credits allowable, only a small propor tion of the number of persons re ceiving Income havo until recent ly been subject to the tax. Thus, of the estimated S3 million per sons in this country who re ceived income In one form or an other during tho calendar year 1941, only some 20 million were required to file federal Income tax returns for that year, while of these snma 20 million, more than 9 million were not tuxablu duo to credits and deductions al lowable. As a result of tho lowering of exemptions, many more persons ore now subject to tho federal income tux than before, and for the culendnr year 1942 it is es timated that more than 33 mil lion persons will file federal In- come tax returns. To tho large number nf persons now subject to tho Federal Income tux, who havo never reported Income be fore for Federal tax purposes, an umlcrstumlliiK r H low and applicable regulations In of prima importance, An Income tax return Is n dec laration on the part of tha tax payer of Ills total laxabla Income for the year, together with tha various deductions, exemptions, and credits to which hn Is en titled. It Is In reliance upon vol untary disclosure, and tho Integ rity of taxpayers generally, that tho cost of administration of the Income lax can bo kept lit a min imum, Though tha return la a voluntary statement, any person who willfully makes a return which ho does not believe to bo true and correct In every mater ial mutter Is subject to tha penal ties provided by law. Tins first requirement of the law Is the filing of on appropri ate return. For Individuals gan erully, this must bo dona by March 13 following the end of the calendar year, The return must be filed with tho appropri ate collector of Internal rovemni for tha district In which Is locat ed tho legal residence or princi pal place of business t f the per son milking the return. Under the present law every single person, and every married person not living with husband or wife, having a toWl Income (earnings, together .vlth other In come) of 5300 or more, and mar ried persons living with husband or wife throughout tha taxable year, who havo nn aggregate in come (total furnliiKs of both hus band and wife, together with other income) of $1200 or more, regardless of the amount of net Income, must file a return.
