CiCMn. rncllui, IxM MALCOLM EPLEY Managimf Bditor fcpley Today's Roundup STATE CAPITOL, SALEM (Special Corres pondence) These line are written in the press room down in a basement corner o Ore gon! glistening state capnoi building. Good luck gave this scribe an opportunity to look In on the legislature here in the opening stages of the 42nd cession. Arriving Thursday, we found the legislature in a period of uncertain lull. The senate aSUfj", - presiaency iignt is over, me I machinery is starting to turn, U but legislative pattern has not yet started to take shape. Whether it will be, as usual, a session of many bills and protracted deliberation and bickering, or whether it will take on a rapid wartime tempo, Is not yet certain. Most legislators seem to favor the latter course. Principal topic of discussion, of course, Js the deadlock that froze the senate for two days. Readers know all about that, and we are going to tell something of the personalities involved. Senator Steiwer, who won the presidency after the long struggle, is big, strong-featured, and bears some resemblance to his cousin, the late United States Senator Frederick Steiwer, in his day one of the handsomest men in Wash ington. Senator Steiwer's voice is good, and he does a smooth job as presiding officer. Senator Dorothy Lee, who gave up her fight for the senate leadership only after she was given the privilege of sharing in the commit tee appointments, is slight, intelligent-looking, with wide-set eyes and a chin that denotes a strain of stubbornness that has been well dem onstrated here. She sits directly in front of Senator Marshall Cornett of Klamath county and the 17th district,-who, incidentally, was against her in the presidency deadlock. A bouquet of roses dec orates Mrs. Lee's desk, which is otherwise well covered with books and papers. There is an air of self-recognized importance about Dorothy Lee and why not? She is the gal who could have kept the legislative machinery frozen and prevented a new governor from taking office for weeks, if she had wanted to. Looking at her, you get the idea the senate is there in opera tion only by her permission. That Salary Business THE chief topic of discussion among Klamath legislators, so far as matters of interest to the home county are concerned, is the pay of county officers. Senator Cornett today received a letter, signed by members of the county court and budget committee, recommending a 20 per cent increase for the pay of all elective county officers and the justice of the peace of Link . vUle district. ' "v Justice of the Peace Joe Mahoney is here. We ran into him today having lunch at the Salem Elks' club with the Salem J.P. . Joe explained he is here not simply to press for $300 a month instead of his present $200 a request that started off the salary pay boost talk but also to work for a flat salary instead of the fee basis for j.p. pay. That, he said, is more important. He confirmed what we guessed in an earlier column that he did not expect to get the full $300, but set that as a mark with " the anticipation that he would get less. Joe pointed out, however, that his $300 pro posal received the recommendation of the three citizen members of the budget committee Alfred Collier, R. C. Woodruff and E. M. Ham mond. He showed us their names on a paper. The same names we found on the letter to Senator Cornett recommending $2880 for the j.p. The latter recommendation was also signed by members of the county court. From the way the legislators talk, some in crease for Klamath county officers seems cer tain for inclusion in a legislative bill. It may be the 20 per cent recommended. It may be based on 20 per cent of the lowest salary that of treasurer which would be $35 a month straight across for all officers. And there is an inclination to put the increase in for two years only anticipating an adjustment two years hence when conditions are more certain. Salem Transport News AHEN and If you come to Salem by train, V V better bring along your tricycle or roller skates. L. H. Craver, Klamath's new legislator, and Mrs. Craver, arrived in the middle of the night at Salem's S.P. depot last Saturday. There was nobody around and not a taxicab in sight. Mr. Craver called a cab company. After wait ing 20 minutes, he called again and was told no-promise could be made when a cab would come. He called another cab company, and got the same answer. .' So he and Mrs. Craver hoofed it to the Marion hotel, 12 blocks through the capital's dark and deserted streets. That was his intro duction to his career as a legislator. Mr. .Craver, Incidentally, has made an excel lent first impression here. He is pleasant, frank, and there is an air of sincerity about him. He says he wants to give honest and conscientious service, voting every Issue on his merits and when ho says it, yoi believe him. . Mrs. Craver is serv ing as his secretary. Klam ath's veteran representative, Henry Semon, has again his veteran secretary Bernice Hector Coad of Nyssa, former Klamath girl, who knows Henry so well she calls him "Spud." Senator Cornett's secretary is Mrs. Kathcrine Bailey, Salem, who served In that capacity last year. All of the Klamath legislators are staying at the Marion hotel. 33' Paul Mellon News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 The Russian com munique writers have such a florid style they have practically monopolized the top head lines in the American press this winter with elated but confusing accounts of their great military successes. The eager manner of their daily announcements has pre vented the average American news reader from getting a proper evaluation of what they have done and where they pe going. Day after day for a while, they had 23 nazi divisions sur rounded and trapped before Stalengrad, then whittled the figure down to 22 when one was annihilated and thereafter largely avoided the matter. As a matter of recapitulated truth, they have 12 or 14 divisions (about 180,000 nazis) locked there in an apparently secure trap. The surrounded Von Hoff German eighth army, making up this force, dug itself in before Stalingrad in accordance with German tactics pursued last winter around Moscow. Von Hoff figured food and fuel supplies could be flown to him and hoped that some supplies might reach him on the ground as his comrades were near at hand when he started digging. That hope proved unobtainable when the reds were able to capture the nearby nazi rail base at Chernishkovsky and push Von Hoff's comrades back so far as to leave him no source of supply except a long one by air. Hitler has pressed even rickety airplanes into service to drop food, but the area Von Hoffs army occupies is barren of forests (unlike the terrain before Moscow last winter) and affords no source of fuel in the deadly Russian winter. Now apparently Von Hoff hopes to hedgehog it through until spring relief comes, but there is grave question of his ability to sustain him self during his hibernation. , 4 Hitler Wasted Men THE reds are letting Von Hoff starve while they drive on southwestward. Their ob jectives are to chase the nazis completely out of the Caucasus province, clear Rostov and re establish a line upon the Donets river in the Ukraine. This they seem very likely "to do, It is too much to expect that this winter campaign can accomplish more than this, and decisively crush German resistance and bring peace on that front. In fact, such a decisive result, , which many Americans have been led to expect from the communiques, is no? doubt beyond their official objectives. ( They will be satis-; fied if they can drives: out or capture the 300,000 nazi soldiers ; (20 divisions) which f Hitler has in thef Caucasus pocket i south of Rostov. The real condition ; on the Russo-German front is best explain- ed by the events lead- ? ing up to the present : ' situation. Hitler stupidly wasted men and weakened himself with throwing everything he had into an offensive to capture Stalingrad. His mistake prevented him from sparing the planes from the front which would have made his drive for the Caucasus oil a success. He still foolishly ex pected to capture Stalingrad as late as mid November. Stalin Can Thank Us THE reds broke his attack there by waiting until the moment his assault showed signs of weakening and then throwing an offensive m upon his flank north of the city. Unexpected ly, their forces south of the city also were able to advance until they had a pincer working on tne nazis irom the north and south. Within two weeks their swerving counter attacks proceeded far down the two railroad lines running west and southwest from the city. At Salsk on the southwestern railroad line, they scared the German Caucasus forces so greatly that the nazis began withdrawing voluntarily irom their advance mountain posi tions to the south. If the reds are able to continue down the Salsk railroad ,50 miles or so to Tikhoretsk, they will be able to cut the only railroad line of supply of all the Hitler Caucasus forces south of Rostov. The red attack seems certain to succeed be? cause Stalin now has technical superiority on that whole Russian battlefront. He can thank us for that. SIDE GLANCES Jj If fjjj "I don't blame our diuiKhter for rusliinii her young offi cer friend home so curly, with nil these good-looking women around 12. J. STALIN, Doing All Right bad generalship by Hitler May Withdraw HITLER has withdrawn so many planes to meet us in Africa that the reds now have superiority in the air. They are also getting large quantities of equipment from us now. Because the convoys are protected by the dark Arctic night on the northern route to Mur mansk and the southern supply route through Iran is functioning better. Some observers say the reds have 3000 plane. If so, they should keep air superiority no mat ter what Hitler does. Indeed, it Is probab'e Hitler will concede the red- objectives, give up his quest for Caucasus oil and withdraw to a shorter line west of Rostov. Then he will be able better to dis tribute his weakening forces to meet Mr. Roose velt's threat of Invasion on other European fronts. 1 ' About Thai Income Tax Midland mfUie fllew4 SELL CLUB-HOUSE MERRILL Members of the Merrill Library club in a special meeting Wednesday voted unani mously to sell the building pur chased in 1940 by the club, and prcted to draw a lurge crowd.

CREDIT FOR DEPENDENTS A taxpayer is entitled to a credit for each person other than husband or wife, whether relat ed to him or not, and whether living with him or not, who dur ing the taxable year was depend ent upon and received his chief support from the taxpayer, pro vided the dependent was either (a) under 18 years of age or (b) incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective. The credit for dependents is based upon actual financial de pendency and not mere legal de pendency. It is not necessary that the dependent be related to the taxpayer, but the taxpayer must have provided more than one-half of the support, or there is no dependency. The term "mentally or phys ically defective" includes not only those who are mentally af flicted and physically crippled, but also persons who, by reason of old ' age or impaired health, are incapable of self-support. The state of mental or physical defect need not be of a perman ent 'nature, but if it existed for only a portion of the year, then the credit for dependent can be claimed only for that portion of the year during which the de pendent was supported by the taxpayer. . A person may not acquire a credit for dependents by reason of support of a person qualifying as a dependent if, as a result of such support, he acquires a head of family exemption, but may ac quire a credit for dependents by reason of additional persons qualifying as dependents, whom ne supports, inus, if a person claims head of family exemp tion on account of support of an aged mother or father, incapable of self-support, or a child, he would not be entitled to a credit for such dependent; but if hs supported more than one such person he could claim credit for such additional persons provided they were under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support. Credit for dependents may not be divided between two persons filing separate returns, but must be taken by the one contributing the chief support. A credit for dependents may be claimed by a father who provides the sup port for his children living with his divorced wife, if the support is provided as the result of a court decree or as the result of an agreement between husband and wife. The credit for a dependent, allowable to a taxpayer filing on Form 1040, is $350, and is proportionate with the number of months of dependency. Thus, for a child born on July 1, the credit allowable would be $175 (for six months), and if a child became 18 years of age on July 1, the credit allowable would be $175. One-half a month or less is not counted as a month; more than one-half a month is counted as a month in calculating the credit. A credit of $385 for each de pendent on July 1 of the year is allowable to a taxpayer using Simplified Form 1040A. by Mrs. J. K. Steele. Mrs. E. E. Kilpatrick, Mrs. H. L. Dalton, Mrs. A. E.

Short and other potato growers: A man who was in San Francisco saw in the markets the following notice: "For sale, Southern Oregon potatoes, $1.25 per hundred pounds. Alameda potatoes, $1 per hundred pounds." Therefore, all that Klamath county needs to over whelm San Francisco with im mense yearly crops of unequal led potatoes is a railroad to haul them to market. From the Klamath News January IS, 1933 A proposal to construct a com mon carrier railroad from Dairy to Bonanza, and on into timber country, has been revived by citi zens of Bonanza.
