MALCOLM EPLKY it ana ping Editor 4- T.t--L ' 1 i W EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY FURTHER interpretation of a recent OPA order on milk is awaited here, but on its face the order evidently calls lor elimination of the 1-cent a Quart increase which went into effect hero a few weeks ago. The current price in Klam ath Falls is 14 cents. This price was established along with an increase in the but terfat content of milk distrib uted here. The purpose was to encourage producers to stay in the business. :jut the OPA has Issued a regulation calling for 13 cents as the maximum in Klamath Falls. The OPA statement in dicates jio recognition will be given to milk of unusually high milk-fat content or other prem ium products. Hence it appears that unless the OPA regu lations are amended, which they can be at any time, the 1-cent increase here will have to be cancelled. - Ordinarily, that would be good news, but it is not good news this time, for the reason that reduction of the price will be a blow to producers and may result in further dangerous liquidation of dairy herds in this milkshed. It was because the public understood this situation that there was virtually no criticism or kicking when the 1-cent increase was re cently announced. , Already, we are reliably told, more produc ers are talking of going out of business if a reduction is forced. Movement of dairy cattle out of this area already has reached serious proportions. In some cases, major producers have liquidated. The high costs of producing milk, plus an in creasingly serious manpower shortage, have made the dairy business most discouraging. Dairymen and others informed about the sit uation are hopeful that the situation can be presented to OPA and an adjustment can be made that will prevent further production re duction here. . In its recent statement, OPA suggested elim ination of the costs involved, in boiise-to-house delivery. The trouble with "that, as one dairy man explained it, is that it would cause violent fluctuation in purchasing of milk. For instance, suppose milk was available only at downtown points on Wednesday, when few people were willing or able to come down town. Purchasing would drop far below normal. On Thursday, however, housewives, if the weather permitted, would arrive in large- numbers, pur chasing more milk than usual.- Unfortunately, milk isn't produced on such a basis. It is to be presumed, and hoped, that these problems can be Ironed out on a sensible basis with proper presentations to OPA. LMl. J News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Some sort of pay-as-you-go tax plan will be adopted by congress. Taxes have risen so high that everyone in the treasury and congress knows many citizens may be unable to meet their tax obli gations unless the money is taken away as . it is earned. This will be ten times truer when salaries start declining after the war. Trouble is no agreeable formula1 has been found. The treasury has privately passed the word along to sen ate finance committeemen that it may be willing to -accept a kind of Ruml plan for lowest income taxpayers. But they want to limit the plan to the six per cent normal and 13 per cent surtax bracket. Congress will probably extend to all brackets whatever plan is adopted, but the details, of application are difficult to decide. The error is common in the public mind, and even In congress, that the taxpayer would save money under a Ruml plan or that some portion of your taxes would be "forgiven." Actually, the national taxpayer as a whole would save nothing until he dies or his earn ings have ceased. Your payments would not be skipped or eased. You would merely pay last year's taxes this year as usual, and call it this year's taxes; the same next year and so on. : In such a case, all that would be wiped out MALLON is the obligation of always owing the govern ment a year of taxes, and you would not realize any money on this until you are- in heaven, or, for other reasons, your earnings have ceased. Essentially, the Ruml plan simply means that when your earnings cease, your taxes cease at the same moment. Under a true pay-as-you-go plan, you would pay March 15 on what you earned the first . quarter of this year, instead of on the basis of last year's income. This formula would prob ably mean an increase in immediate taxes by whatever amount your income increased this quarter over last year. It would be a still better method of taxa tion if collections were made monthly, but to do this, congress would have to abolish the present complicated tax structure and lay a simple basic tax which would not be a bad idea either. Chief obstacle toward clearance of the at mosphere now is house ways and means Chair man Doughton, who has saved the money for his own taxes of last year and thinks everyone else should have done likewise. In any event, no plan is likely to go through before March 15, so payment must be made then on the basis of last year's income instead of first quarter earnings of 1943 Congress in the Mood MR. ROOSEVELT'S request for $16,000,000,-. 000 more in compulsory savings and taxes will not be granted by congress. No one sees how such a figure can be met. FDR presumably based his proposal on ex pectation that the treasury will again propose a vast spendings tax (a 'levy on everything you have left after paying your income and other taxes) together with a plan to raise 510,000,-' 000,000 through compulsory . savings (taking bond purchases out of your pay envelope). Congress is in the mood to go along with a compulsory savings plan, . perhaps not to as great an extent as Mr. Roosevelt wishes, but it will not accept the spendings tax, and does not believe it. would raise the money anyway. In lieu of it, a sales tax probably will be adopted. The preponderant guess is that the nation's pocketbook will be tapped for less than two thirds as much as Mr. Roosevelt wanted. Tax Wail Rising QOME are advocating the doubling of the sj current five per cent victory tax on in comes of $624, but this is unlikely. The victory tax is not yet considered a success, A great inner wail is starting to rise against it, although it went into effect only January 1. Employers complain that labor is demanding an- increase; in wages equal to the amount de ducted for the tax. If granted, this would nullify the governments program of wage re straint and inflation control and destroy the basic reason why the tax was adopted The idea of making one man responsible for another man's taxes is wrong anyway. To make an employer assume the government's obliga tion in collecting a tax from an employee is an experiment which cannot prove satisfactory to the employer, the employee, or the treasury, in ine end. Walker Will Start Over l-RANK WALKER'S choice as democratic na- tional chairman was a defensive than an offensive political gesture. .Walker is a quiet, un-pp oBBiwaivc, udjjduie man, who is likely to sit com fortably on the parly cauldron, and its see thing currents within, until after the war. His appointment b y Mr. Roosevelt (the president made it, not the com mittee) will attest a cur rent theory that politics is adjourned. Of far greater note is the unannounced fact that the whole demo cratic national commit tee staff from top to bottom, including the office boys, has been quietly fired. Mr. Walker will start from scratch. To the sayings of great men must be added the utterance last week of the possible ambassa dor to Australia, Edward J. Flynn, whose ap pointment is being contested on the ground that it is sheer politics, as there seemed to be no other reason for it. Commehling upon the opposition of senate republicans to his nomin ation, Mr. Flynn shrieked with righteous in dignation: "They They are playing politics with me."

Llnvlllo, California stato highway patrol man recently transferred from Dorrls gatoway for duties on Highway 09 near Martinez, re turned here this week and said he had boen given orders by the stato highway pntrol head quarters at Sacramento to re sume work on the northern sec tion of Highway 07. Return of the state officer to Dorrls marked the apparent suc cessful end of efforts of Butto Volley residents to retain a resident stato patrolman. When Llnvlllo was transferred south, many persons signed petitions protesting the move, and sev eral civic and political groups and individuals wrote or wired to tho Sacramento headquarters asking that an officer be main tained here.

Mem bers of the US department of agriculture war board and members of the county agricul ture conservation association committee, met in the county agent's offices Monday to dis cuss the Food, for Freedom pro gram. The group set up a schedule of meetings where farmers will be asked to sign up on the war produce food program. The schedule is as follows and hours are-from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m.: January 27-28, Merrill, com munity hall. January 29-30, Malin, high school agricultural building.

February 4, Klamath Agency, extension offices, council hall. February 6, Bly, school house. Cooperation Asked At each meeting a member of the war board or county com mittee will be in charge. There will be from eight to 10 helpers already trained to assist in mak ing out forms, it was reported, the helpers members of the ACA community committee and various agencies of the depart ment of agriculture. Farmers are asked to cooper ate 100 per cent as it will be impossible to contact individuals due to transportation limita tions. Challenge Increases are sought In all war crops, and as an example there is a IS, per cent national increase asked for potatoes alone, a 2 per cent up in dairy products, and an entire national increase of 10 per cent, accord ing to C. A. Henderson, Klam ath county ..agricultural agent, who observed that the 1942 record, greatest crop producing year-- in the history of the United States, must be bested by Klamath farmers as well as those throughout the country. Chief Warns O ver-Zealous Fire-Makers of Hazards Home owners received a stiff warning from Fire Chief Keith K. Ambrose advising .them to .use caution during the cold snap with regard to overheated stoves and carelessness in disposing of hot ashes. The fire department has re ceived numerous calls this past week, the major portion attribut ed to over-zealous fire makers. Ambrose asked that special care be given in using both oil and wood stoves. The truck was called to 631 Willow street at 1:47 p. m. Mon day when a fire was reported blazing in a partition in back of a stove. The property is owned by Emma Boivin. Second call was received at 8:19 p. m. Monday when defec tive wiring caused a blaze at the Standard Cleaners, 1409 Espla nade street. Some damage was done to clothing, firemen reported.

SMALL ACCESSOniES MAKE BIO DIFFERENCE stew 0 INCOME OF MINORS The earnings of a minor child must be included in the return of the parent unless the child has become emancipated from parental authority in accordance with the laws of the State in which he lives, or if, under the laws of the State, the child is entitled to his own earnings whether emancipated or not. The laws regarding emancipa tion vary in different States, and the facts in each case determine the liability for inclusion of such Income in the return of the parent. In the absence of proof to the contrary, a parent is assumed to have the right .to the earnings of the minor and must include them in his return. A parent may voluntarily surrender or relin quish the legal right to the serv ices and earnings of a minor child, but if he has done so, he must be in' a position to show proof of such relinquishment. A minor is one who has not yet reached full legal age. ,In some States both men and wom en come of age, or reach the age of majority, at the age of 21, while in some States men become of age at 21 and women at 18. If a minor has Income of his own, either through earnings over which he has legal control or income from other sources, such as property he possesses or funds held in trust for him, he must file a return (or a return must be filed in his behalf by his parent or guardian) if the total income for the year amount ed to $500 oc more, Even though a child has earn ings of his own his parent may be entitled to claim a credit for dependent on his account pro vided the parent furnished the chief support of the child. -!r' - (NEA TtUpholo) j its no esy road to victory in Norm Africa as long as Germany has bombing planes that can wreak havoc like tills.
