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.

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."

by Klamath farmers as well as
those throughout the country.

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.
