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-

j!13 political wonder of wonders.

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.

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

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. (With slightly de
creasing objectives, however.)

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

less than certain stated amounts
of Income, as well as because of
various deductions and credits

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
