Loa Anjla, MALCOLM ETLEY Jonainj; Editor SB "..V It EPLEY Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY ROSE POOLE wai In our office yesterday with some Hed Cross publicity. We de tectcd a look of worry and concern on her 4 . face. It didn't take much " questioning to find out what iff-" was the matter. 3 Klamath county, she told us. JSv is way behind In its Red 5 will find the figures In Mrs. Poolo's story elsewhere in to-' day's paper, and they do not look good. They show that this county's Red Cross production quota for 1942 has not yet been completed, and that will be necessary before the 1943 quota work can tart. What has happened to our women who tew is probably the same thing that happens to all of us In connection with war work. We blow hot and cold. Right after Pearl Harbor, when we had just been shocked into a realization of the sig nificance of war to our country, we all pitched in and did an effective job on civilian defense, Red Cross, and other phases of war work. But as time wore on, and we became accustomed to the new situation, interest dropped off. Sentiment of the American people now fluc tuates violently between optimism and pessi mism. Give us a little good news, and we begin to act as if the war were about over. There were people, for instance, who thought that the recent Casablanca conference announce ment was going to be an armistice. To a degree, our interest in war work fluc tuates along with these changes in sentiment. It is difficult to keep up the pressure, but it is important that we do so. Distillers' Big Job A GREAT many people, we believe, are like ourselves in not knowing heretofore the extent of the contribution to the war effort being made by the American distilled spirits industry. A lot of folks have the idea the dis tillers are going right along producing whiskey and gin and nothing else in the war period. This happens to be far from the truth. The whole industry is now completing the job of converting its facilities for producing grain alcohol for the war program. And grain alcohol is a vitally important war material. It is the basic chemical for the manufacture of smokeless powder, synthetic rubber and chemical warfare materials. It is used in the manufacture of hundreds of pro ducts for military and essential civilian needs. It is indispensable to the chemical Industry, which in turn is essential to war production. Hence, it is clear that we have to have a lot of grain alcohol to carry on this fight. And we are getting it from the distilleries. Twenty-five of them, representing more than half of the industry's total capacity, are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, turning out grain alcohol. The remaining 100 distilleries are being converted rapidly and in the mean time are producing high wines for redistillation at ether plants into grain alcohol. The industry is producing enough alcohol to supply the army ordnance department with full requirements of alcohol for smokeless powder, and to supply the chemical warfare service. It is providing lend-lease alcohol and helping build up a government stockpile. It is pre paring to supply the huge need for alcohol for synthetic rubber. That's the story. The Industry is doing a big and successful job for the war effort. What about whiskey supplies? It is true that whiskey production will cease until the in dustry has filled the vital demand for alcohol. But because whiskey stock laid away for ma turing will be available, there will be whiskey for normal requirements for more than three years. members already had announced their Inten tions, and there were three to six mora who refused to say how they would vote, but pri vately had tipped the opposition to count them in. These democrats furnished the margin of defeat. The timing of the announcement of opposi tion by another democratic city boss, Ed Crump, of Memphis, Just a few hours before Flynn backed out has led to a general public assump tion that Mr. Crump was the giant killer. The tallies show Flynn would have been defeated without the opposition of Mr, Crump's ' two senators, McKellar and Stewart. The amazing fact that one city machinist wanted to take credit for slaying another in the same party, has caused observers here to look for reasons, in additiou to the moral ones Mr. Crump stressed in a statement. One story is that Mr. Crump had not been getting much patronage out of the New Deal for some time past. But the one most generally accepted is that Mr. Crump was getting even for what the New Dealers tried to do to his candidate, Senator Stewart in the last election. It is said by a senator in a position to know that the administration's so-called "TVA group" and other Roosevelt followers in Tennessee, put Mi. Stewart about 18,000 votes behind coming into Memphis. In short, the New Deal had de- j feated Mr. Crump in all Tennessee except in his nome city. There, Sen. Stewart enjoyed such amazing popularity or something that he was able to amass a lead of 35,000 and win the state as a whole. Mr. Crump is now even for that one.

Flynn, withdrew from a dip lcraatic career for many a reason other than the one announced, namely, that he wished to avoid a po litical fight, embarrassing to Mr. Roosevelt, in the senate. The fight was over. A close tally by a competent senator showed the line-up against Flynn's confirmation to be about 50 to 35, with 11 sen ators expected to be absent on the roll call. Mr. Flynn was defeated, not by the reoublicans. as he nub. licly proclaimed, but by 10 to 14 democratic senators. Seven or eight of his own party . ft m MALLON Squeeze Play W iOST tearful pathos of the whole event IVI however, lay in the peculiar manner in which Mr. Flynn was even squeezed into re signing as demo-ft.. committceman dur- '" ' ing the senate ""; fight. Vl- ' He had resigned as national chair- jw man and was p proudly accepting the ambassadorship L, - V to Australia, but N he did not intend I jSp-P ) to let his old com rade, (now enemy) Jim Farley, get hands on the im portant New York committee post. Farley's state com' mittee would name the successor, and deep shudders would have run down through the Bronx organization. But certain democratic senators here pro fessed great interest in the Hatch act, the new law which attempts in a very restrained way to keep public office holders from holding political jobs on the side. The Flynn nomination as ambassador was then in the senate foreign relations committee, and these Hatch act adherents were threatening to vote against Mr. Flynn unless he resigned the national committee post as well as the cnair manship. They were very serious about the point, or seemed to be. So Mr. Flynn had to resign hurriedly from the committee and take the bitter medicine of letting Farley name his successor, in order to get his ambassador nomination out or tne sen ate foreign relations committee. This he did barely by a margin of 13 to 10 (two senators, the two particularly Interested in the Hatcn act, would have changed the result.) After he had been shed of all his political raiment and left like a bare waif it became apparent that the Australian cut-away coat was to be denied him. Ah, such naked woe. He lost everything. Complete Rooking Job THIS complete job of rooking Mr. FJynn seemed inspired, in the main, by the revulsion of the senate majority against the naming of a city boss to a high diplomatic war post. The vote would have been about the same if Mr. Crump had been named ambassador to England. The substantial opposition also seemed to think (and said in private) that the defeat of Flynn would bring a salutary national effect by expressing the new independence of congress and its decision no longer to be a rubber stamp. The paving block incident and the other speci fic charges against Flynn apparently made little or no difference. Senators were amused by Mr. Flynn's exceptional unawareness in not know ing that city paving blocks In his city were being put on his estate, etc., but his defense was air-tight from the legal standpoint, at least.

Arrangements are under the direction of the About That Income Tax INCOME FROM RENTS AND ROYALTIES Many taxpayers derive Income from rents and royalties. Such income is shown in item 6 of the return Form 1040. Only the net Income or loss is shown in item 6; that is, the difference between the total amount re ceived in revenue from the prop erty less the total amount of the ordinary and necessary expenses incurred. An explanation of in come, chargeable expenses, and the kind of property, must ic shown in Schedule B of the re turn. The "kind of property'' might be indicated as a farm, dwelling, store building, or the like. The chargeable expenses are shown under three headings, as (a) de preciation allowable, (b) repairs, and (c) other expenses. Where depreciation is claimed, a fur ther explanation is required in Schedule J (Explanation of De duction for Depreciation Claims). Repairs and other expenses must also be explained and itemized A distinction must be made be tween expenditures for mainten ance and repairs and expendi tures lor replacements, improve ments, and alterations. Replace ment expense, to the extent that the replacements arrest deterior ation and appreciably prolong the life of the property, is not chargeable against rental income for the year, but is chargeable to capital or the depreciation reserve. Only the cost of inci dental repairs which neither ma terially add to the value of the property nor appreciably pro long its life, but serve to keep it ip an ordinary efficient oper ating condition, may be deducted as repair expense in Schedule B. The distinction between what is an improvement and an al teration, and what is a repair, is not always clear, and has been the subject of many rulings and decisions. The cost of painting the outside of a house used for business purposes (rental) and the cost of painting and paper ing the inside, for instance, aro regarded as repairs, deductible as expense in Schedule B. Tho replacement of a roof or a change in the, heating plant, plumbing system, or other major alter ation, is regarded as in the na ture of a capital expenditure and is not deductible as repair expense in Schedule B. Among "other expenses" de ductible in Schedule B are such Items as the cost of janitor serv ice, and the like, as well as taxes and interest expense. If taxes and Interest are deducted as "other expenses," they may not be deducted under the separate items of taxes and interest in the return. Where a dwelling is partly rented and partly occupied by the taxpayer, only those ex penses chargeable to tha rented portion are deductible. In the case of a two-family dwclllnf. for instance, one-half of which is occupied by the owner, or- dinarily one-half of the depre ciation allowable, repairs and other expenses, would be de ductible from the rent received. Royalties are, in general, the earnings from copyrights, pat ents, good will, trade marks. formulas, and the like, as well as from mineral properties. In the case of royalties from min eral properties the statute pro vides for certain allowable de pletion expense depending upon the nature of the property and other factors, and the amounts deducted may not exceed the statutory limitations. I Kinmain ennmner or com mere legislative committee has approved and referred to the highways committee 1IB 218 In the Oregon legislature, which is the cities' bill seeking a part of the state highway fund for city streets. The highways commit tee has not yet acted. This measure provided that the cities' share of tho hltihway fund shall be up to 15 per cent of that fluid, but that $10,000, 000 shall remain for highway department operating expenses, Mayor John Houston, who is on the legislative committee of the Leagu. of Oregon Cities, ap peared before the chamber logis lative committee when It con.iki ered the measure. He also ap peared at the chamber directors' meeting Wednesday, stating that tho chief purpose behind the measure is to afford relief and protection for city property tax payers. The city, Mayor Houston said, has a heavy investment in its streets, and he added that uso of state funds in maintenance work is justified because about one third of highway department revenue comes from gasoline used In driving on city streets. The chamber of commerce do! Icy in tho past has been to oppose any shift In tho uso or highway funds from state highway pur poses, and If the legislative couv mittee's action receives final ap. proval it will be ,n departure from this policy, it was pointed out at Wednesday s directors' meeting. Director William Ganong of tne legislative committee point cd out, however, that tho present proposal differs lnomo respect from others in tho post which tho chamber has not endorsed. ine ci: amber of commerce went on record favoring tho county salary increase bill now before the legislature. This would provide a straight $25 a month increase for elective coun ty officials and the Linkvllle justice of the peace.

Spoalc W.ll of tha Weather . . . "The tilings I've lienril snld about thi weather in the woods theso past two weeks have made me ears hum and Jaws blush, old as I am." snld Lurrlly, the hullrook, peeling out his shuck window nt a clump of snow liirion Uoiiglns firs.
