The Tulelake project has been investigated and re-investigated. Shortly after charges were leveled against the administration of the pro ject by Fred Heilbronner of Klamath Falls, some months ago, there was a parade of in vestigators through- here, both military an4 civil. Results of these Inquiries have not been pub licized. Locally, Interest in the question seems to have subsided, and the torrent of gossip about the project, so much in evidence a few months ago, has dwindled to a trickle. But it Is still under fire in some quarters, as the Siskiyou grange action indicates. Like wise, in Washington, Senator Wallgren recently broke out with accusations against administra tion of the WRA projects and said he favored placing the army in charge of the evacuees of ' Japanese descent instead of the civilian WRA. Past Due Recounts ONE phase of local relationships with the WRA project that has received construc tive attention recently is the sad state of certain accounts carried with local businesses. The WRA let some of these accounts get months behind, without making payment. At time when the government was cracking down on private use of credit, the credit record of this government agency was going from bad to worse., A case in point is that of one local business to which the project owes more than Sloop. This account runs back to June, and every cent of the bill is past due. This business has re cently been informed, that an effort will 'be made to pay up after the first of next month. The chamber of commerce recently went to ' bat on this question, and has made what ap pears to be progress. - V- r Harvey Coverly, new director of the" project, baa shown honest concern over the situation, and has told the chamber that he will make every effort to take care of past due accounts if the local businesses will write to him about them. . ."'.- The chamber of commerce is willing to act as a clearing house for people who want to make requests for payment in this manner. Shocking Incident ASHOCnJNG local Incident was the case of the police dog which wandered to a suburban restaurant with its eyes gouged out. Here was a fiendish act that bolls the blood. It is evidence of a sadistic tendency of some body in these parts which may manifest Itself again in some such horrible manner. Unfortunately, it is not easy to trace down the perpetrator of such an act with convicting evidence. One cannot prosecute on suspicion. The public has been helpful with tips and dues, and anyone with any concrete facts that might throw light on the case should inform the state police or the humane society, which, properly, is interesting itself in this case. The dog, a male police dog, lacked collar or license tag. The authorities do not know Its owner. ; Discovery of the owner might help in tracing the perpetrator of the offense. It would be most satisfying to see this fiend brought to justice. a , Friendly Help THE city traffic authorities acted wisely, dur ing the current storm period, in suspending regular operation of the stop and go traffic system. Stopping and going Is a pretty tough business under these conditions, and our ob servation was that motorists generally used good judgment in operating their cars without the controls. This scribe, for one, wants to testify here and now to the friendly helpfulness of a lot of folks he can't identify. His chalnless car was "stuck" a dozen times on the first night of the big snow. In each instance passersby helped with the needed pushing. One taxicab- driver came through with a push at the strategic moment when we were in a drift at Ninth and High streets, and after he had left, another motorist gave us another boost at the same in tersection. We are sorry for the trouble we made these folks, and we deeply appreciate their good natured efforts in our behalf. We mention all of this here because we Imagine a lot of other motorists received similar aid and in behalf of. all such, we speak out in warm thanks. Thursday was an Jnpropitious day to report that plans for a dehydrator here had been dropped by a Chicago company. We needed a lot of dehydrating Thursday. , The legislative ways and means committee says it thinks it's about time to give the tax payer a break. We're eagerly waiting. . Southenders had something . to crow about today. While we-were struggling with drifts up here Thursday, there was virtually no snow at Marrill, Malta and Tulelake.

Ct-lea, Portland, Los Ant Its, MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 About two weeks ago, local fuel oil rationing officials were dally announcing plenty of stocks existed in the hands of local dealers. 'ther Iow or out entirely and Uiiauio iw man, uviiiciim coupon holders. I wrote some of my per sonal experiences showing I was unable to get oil and proving the district officials were wrong. Since then the local ration ing officer, L. P. Steuart, has been pushed out of office by Mr. Henderson under rather vague circum stances. A week ago, It was learned, Mr. Steuart had been asked to resign, but other local rationing officials professed to know nothing about it, and Mr. Steuart kept announcing daily that he had done nothing wrong and would not resign until he was forced out. Mr. Henderson ulti mately obliged him, preferring no charges and offering no explanation. The fact behind the matter Is that, at a pri vate meeting of Washington oil dealers, it was charged that a local oil company In which Mr. Steuart is a stockholder had a storage cache of about 2,000,000 gallons of oil apparently the largest of any here, when other dealers were dry. Other dealers claimed the Steuart con cern was getting oil by the train load when others could not get it, and that the govern ment Itself was buying oil from the concern for its office buildings. Now this matter has not been aired in public, but Mr. Steuart says this oil concern which bears his name, "L. P. Steuart and Bro., Inc.," is not his, that he is a minority stockholder, and the concern is operated by a nephew. He has not been quoted as saying how much oil it had on hand but Indicated the amount was substantial due to "foresight" of his nephew, a foresight apparently beyond the other dealers here. In recent days, the shortage here has been eased but the rationing boards have not yet made any effort to issue additional coupons to those whose homes cannot be kept livable under allotments. Evidence of preposterously unfair cuts throughout the eastern half of the country as far west as Minnesota and Iowa, are contained in letters from readers, some of whom are rationing board officials. Large Size Cuts A MARYLAND woman was cut from 1700 to 470 gallons, an amount which was entirely consumed before she received the coupons. After days of negotiation, she finally got 300 more to run the entire remainder of the winter. A Savannah, Georgia, consumer, who had already used 35 gallons, received an alloca tion of exactly one gallon. A Baltimore feed dealer was cut from 3300 gallons consumed last year to 660 this year. An Ohio boarding house keeper, who has as tenants a retired policeman who is ill, and a sick wife and baby, was cut from 2600 gallons to 1450; a Brooklynlte from 2800 to 1100; a Hingham, Massachusetts, couple of 75 and 62, with a bedridden, paralyzed woman aged 80, was cut 1000 gallons. And so on through stacks of mall a couple of feet high, the evidence mounts, the worst areas apparently being the eastern seaboard and central states. Cold Attitude IN MANY instances, users foolishly failed to include necessary parts , of their dwellings, and did not understand what they needed at first. - . As is natural in such a vast cemplicated affair, both the boards and consumers made many mistakes, and the basic formula was cruel and inefficient in the first place. The boards should be ordered publicly by Mr. Brown to welcome the sufferers In for a sympathetic hearing. Consumers should be in; vited to present their difficulties and promised a fair consideration as promptly as possible, not to allow unjust increases, but to save hu man lives and health where needed. Now the official attitude is cold, inconsiderate and in humane. Whatever additional oil' from our supply is needed to correct mistakes and keep the homes of the country In a livable condition should be taken from other . non-military sources if ab solutely necessary. Consumers' Czar Talked THE consumer has had too little, if any, rep resentation In this government. No one champions his individual rights and interests. A consumer's counsel in the agriculture de partment quit in open disgust a week ago. He found he could do nothing. . Congressmen are beginning to become aroused over this fact. Talk in the Truman committee and the small business investigating committee is congealing into a demand that a consumer's czar be appointed somewhere in this govern ment to champion the cause of the people, to act as a check on the various government rationing units, to urge them to consider the humane side. .' A campaign along this line will shortly get underwayj and legislation may be enacted. All this evidence shows criticism acts as life blood to keep democracy alive In times of necessary war restraint. Eternal vigilance la the price of justice as well as liberty. ' People who make no claim of their rights will not have them long. Only one test can be applied to criticism. It must be sincere and valid. Only the other kind should be barred. SIDE GLANCES i m f-jirguir 47' 1 l$l''T7!W- V; 1 1 is 1 y.fy ' j v-i 1 I I cora. wiriiu ItKVKt. wc T.

The types of Income specifically exempt are listed in the instructions ac companying the return form. In addition to salaries, wages. fees and commissions which must be reported, all bonuses, tips, prizes and awards, and other forms of compensation, must be included. A minister of the gos pel must report all fees he re ceives for funerals, for masses, for baptisms, for marriages, and for other like services. If a per son is paid in whole or in part for his services in anything other than money, the fair market value of whatever was received must be reported as Income. This applies to the rental value of quarters furnished an employee as part of his compensation (with the exception of the rental value of parsonages furnished to min isters of the gospel), board and lodging furnished as part of an employee's compensation, where the board and lodging is not pro vided primarily for the conven ience of the employer. Income must be reported whether received In hand or not, if there is "constructive receipt;" that is, if it has been credited to the account of, or set apart for, a taxpayer without any substan tial limitation or restriction, and which may be drawn upon by him at any time. This applies to interest credited to a.savings ac count, and subject to withdrawal during the year, to dividend checks received during the year, Four-H News Chiloquin Busy Beet Our meeting was called to or der at 3:40 by our president, Patricia Barkley. In the absence of our secretary, Mary Jo Flury, Mary Ann Robertson acted as secretary for the meeting. Ma terial was given out by our lead er, Marian Doty. We practiced our club songs and yells. We are now working on cooked cereal. Joan Barnes, news reporter. Falrhaven Thrifty Cookers We held our last meeting just before Christmas we would have met again since then, but some of our members were sick, and we didn't have a meeting. We had planned' on each one taking part of a whole dinner and cooking and eating it at our leader's house, but our lead er's son was sick so we are go ing to do that later. At our last meeting we made bran muffins, and they were certainly good. We made them in the cafeteria at our school. They were so good that we ate them all up ex cept one, and we took that to our teacher, Mrs. Melton. I made some of them for the soldiers who stayed at our house for Christmas, and they wished I could cock for the army. We are certainly having fun In our meetings, and like them. Cliff LaForge, news reporter. Busy Bees of the Home The first meeting of the Busy Bees of the Homes of Malin was called to order by our supervisor, Mrs. Paygr. 'Our president is Frankie Phillips, vice president is June Pitts; secretary-treasurer Is Loretta Faulkner; news re porter is Joan Thompson. Mem bers of our club are Mary Jo Miller, Eileen O'Connor, Sarah O'Keeffe, Rosemary Pitts, Phyllis Rick, Shirley Johnson, Jery Lou Wilson, Emily Elzner, and Lola Kamplng. Our meet ings are held Tuesdays, sixth per iod of the day. There was talk i-'-.'yvwx1 WT, err. Income Tax whether cashed or not, to inter est coupons maturing during the year whether cashed or not (un less the bond is in default and no funds arc available to pay the interest coupons), and the like. Interest accumulated, or ac crued, during the year, on War Savings Bonds may be treated by a taxpayer reporting his In come on the cash basis either as income during the year, or the accrual may be deferred until the maturity of the bonds and re ported as income then. How ever, a taxpayer on the cash basis who elects to report such income as it accrues must adhere to that method In all subsequent returns. A farmer who trades or ex changes the produce of his farm for goods or services must report as Income the value of the goods or services received by such trade or exchange. Alimony and separate main tenance payments periodically received by a wife subsequent to decree of divorce or of separate maintenance must be reported as income. In the caso of noncommis sioned military and navy per sonnel, compensation for mil itary or naval service,-to the ex tent of $250 for a single person and $300 in the case of a mar ried person or head of family, received during the year, may be excluded in reporting , income. Also the amounts contributed by the Government to the service man's "monthly family allow ance" are in the nature of gifts by the Government and need not be included In Income. of what we were going to do during the year. The meeting was then adjourned. We hope that we will see our news in the paper soon. Joan Thompson, news reporter. Health for Victory The 8A and C classes of Alta mont junior high are the mem bers of a 4-H Health club. There are 38 girls enrolled. At our second meeting, we chose the name for our club, which is, "The Health for Victory Club." The officers are: Evelyn'. Long, president; Evelyn Robinson, vice president; Louise Henry, secre tary; Dolores Stelnerson, song leader; Mary Cox, yell leader; Uldena McCool, program chair man; and Shirley Sutton, news reporter. Mrs. Frances Koertje is our leader. This was not a regular meet ing, but we received our books and filled them up to date. Our leader explained the things we are to do in the club. We also received the 4-H posters to put up at home. A short program consisting of songs and reading followed. Our song leader, Dolores, led us in the 4-H pledge. We then sang "God Bless Amer ica." Our news reporter was absent so Gloria Mayfleld took her place for this meeting. Gloria Ann Mayfleld, news reporter. OR WHAT HAVE YOU? FORT WORTH, Tex.

Lew Wallace, Portland demo crat und chairman ot tho sen ate Industries committee, wus on tho warpath tocluy against stale commissions, particularly tho industrial accident commis sion, which hove not yet sub mitted tho bills to tho lcgls loturo. Wallace's committee will han dle the Industrial accident bills. "We've been hero almost two weeks," Wallaco sold on tho Mcniite floor, "und those bills aren't In yet. These members of commissions draw lucrative sal aries, ond thcro's no reason why they couldn't hovo hud their bills prepared before the session started, "I wont to muko It known right now that if those industrial accident bills aren't Introduced in a reasonable tlmo, they'll get short shrift from my commit tee."

Jon. 22 VP) A CIO sponsored bill to provldo bene fits for dependents of unem ployed persons was prepared to day for introduction in the house. An unemployed workman now draws a maximum of $13 a week for 16 weeks. The bill would allow a dependent wife $3 a week additional, plus $2 for each dependent child.
