Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
DAYS of easy living with plentiful supplies
of anything wa want are over.
People like ourselves, living In places remote
from the big defense centers
" and far from the jammed east,
1 have been spared a little long
er from various shortages that
at last are beginning to show
up here.
4 The privations In sight are
of a minor nature, compared
with what could happen If
we lost this war, or compared
with what is expected of the
men who are fighting to win
It for us. Hence, necessary
EPLEY
shortages should be a topic for conversation
rather than complaint.
It is important, however, that shortages be
avoided when possible, particularly In food lines
which may affect the proper nourishment of
children and civilian workers. Therefore, any
community Is fully Justified in doing all that
it can to maintain an ample flow of essential
foods, such as milk.
Meat Supply Reduced
THIS week's butter shortage will be followed
by next week's meat shortage. Don't take
our word for it, but ask your butcher If the
meat supply outlook Isn't getting gloomy.
Some weeks 'ago, when the local meat situa
tion received considerable attention, there was
some disagreement among the meat authorities
hereabouts as to whether we faced a shortage
or not. '
There Is no disagreement now, so far as we
tan learn.
The beef slaughter here in the past few days
has been sharply reduced, there is nt immed
iate prospect for improvement, and the short
age is beginning to show up in the retail
cases.
The condition seems to be the result of a
number of factors, whose effects are becoming
painfully apparent simultaneously.
There Is a shortage of fat stock here, gov
ernment regulations and ceilings are affecting
competitive buying and slaughter unfavorably,
reserve meat supplies in private lockers are
steadily decreasing, and buyers for slaughter op
erations in the big cities have been outbidding
local purchasers. -
The strong bidding from the bigger centers
has' aroused ugly rumors of? black markets in
those areas. These reports were called to the
attention of the chamber of commerce this
week, and the agricultural committee of that
organization will look into them. From the
east comes news of a spread of black markets
In beef in that territory, and the OPA is taking
steps to drive out the bootleggers. If it happens
In the east, it can happen in the west.
There, .ore. .other possible explanations for the
higher prices offered from the bigger centers,
but whatever may be behind, it, it is a unique
fact that these purchasers have been able to
outbid the locals and at the same time pay
freight costs.'' Price ceilings set by OPA are
the same here and in the big centers.
One packer tells us that it appears to him
the situation will get more acute and there is
no hope for relief until grass cattle come along
In the spring. -
Possibly, elasticlzlng OPA regulations will
help, and that is advocated by some of the
people close to the situation here. .
Fish and poultry will play a more import
ant role in local menus, as smart housewives
move to meet the condition caused by dwindling
beef supplies.
AN INTERESTING situation has developed in
connection with the efforts of Mayor
Houston and other city officials to obtain local
, JOHN HOUSTON, state highway de
Persuatlve partment shall
always have at least $10,000,000 for operating
expenses.
For several years, the league has been bat
tling for a part of the state highway fund.
Heretofore, the Klamath county chamber of
commerce has stood resolutely on the premise
that state highway funds are for state high
ways, and that any dipping into those funds
for other purposes, including city streets, would
set a bad precedent.
This week, the legislative committee of the
chamber departed from the old stand. After
hearing Mayor Houston on the bill,. It recom
mended its approval, but asked that the roads
and highways committee give it consid
eration before the chamber goes finally on
record. ;
The board of directors gave the matter to the
highway committee with power lo act favorably.
If that Committee opposes, the matter will be
returned to the board.
The fact the present bill differs somewhat
from previous proposals, particularly in the
$10,000,000 provision, was given as a reason for
the legislative committee's action. But the prin
ciple of "no dipping" is still there. There Is
nothing, of course, to prevent the chamber from
changing Its attitude on that principle, and
that may. happen this time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 The surprise
Churchill visit to Turkey has inspired
some hope that Ankara will immediately fling
her army in on our side and
nttonlr tha nnttc in nitlnafia
and Greece.
We could furnish the planes,
and also formidable forces now
in Svris nnd Trnns-.Tnrrian. .
Eventual fulfillment of this
delightful prospect is certain,
ku' hw soon it w''l come is
some'mn8 for Hitler to guess.
ii it were imminent, wnurcmu
might not have gone to Turkey
and brought the international
spotlight that always follows him.
The Turks have been very friendly with
our cause, especially since the recent accumu
lation of Russian victories, but they are still
trading with Hitler, furnishing nickel and some
other war materials. There are many things
they can do short of war, and they were no
doubt the most immediate subjects of the
Churchill talks.
The harassed Herr Hitler, now running
around Europe trying to plug rat-holes en
larging before him on all sides, recently has
augmented the size of his forces in Greece and
Rumania as a necessary precaution against
Turkey. The Churchill visit should at least
pin these forces there permanently, and call for
more if Hitler has them.
When we first went into Africa, Hitler con
centrated planes in Crete, threatening invasion
of the Near East, but his forces on that ground
are not now sufficient to warrant any fears
on our part.
a
Don't Be Surprised
GENERAL ROMMEL has been brandishing
armor on the Mareth line as if he in
tended to hold it at all costs. Do not let your
self be surprised if he withdraws as he did
from his last three defensive positions, and
closer to the larger nazi forces
Rommel probably has only about 50,000
troops left, two-thirds of the strength generally
attributed to him. The North Tunis nazis had
75,000 until this week, when Hitler started air
ferrying reinforcements in fast.
nazi African armies are probably
not strong enough to maintain the long line bf
miles from Bizerte to Mareth.
long as Rommel is in the
rear is exposed to a drive by
our armies, which would cut him off com
northward line of supplies and
surrounded in the desert.
The ex-hero of Berlin may therefore with
draw from the "little Maginot" position and
flight northward to establish a
defensive position around Sfax, or even closer
Tunisian situation Is, therefore,
as dangerous for us, as you may
The maps suggest our southern
flank is hanging in the air in the desert" ex
posed to attack by Rommel, but his weary
army is hardly fit for such an operation now.
a a a
Reds Slow Down
GLIB Russian communiques the last few
days barely conceal the fact that the red
attack has slowed down.
Hitler has thrown reserves Into ' the actions
south of Rostov in order to rescue his armies
from that pocket. At Leningrad also, the
Russians were unable immediately to exploit the
breach they made in the nazi lines when they
raised the seige. They control the railroad
running into the city, but succeeded only in
occupying a small patch of territory.
About three weeks ago, the red army drive
similarly slowed down, then gathered strength
to go on to unexpected victories. Stalin may
have enough left to muster relentless pressure
again.
Then, too, these drives must pause once in a
while to mend railroads, repair airfields, bridges
and roads, and re-establish communications to
supply bases in the rear. .
Final annihilation of the nazi army in front
of Stalingrad will help the red army immeasur
ably. The lost nazi army there, at the edge of
the city, lay astride an important railroad line,
and thus denied the reds a main artery of sup
plies for their drive up to now.
a a a
MacArthur's Idea
GENERAL MAC. ARTHUR'S plan for an air
conquest of the Pacific, airport by airport
instead of island by Island, has brought no
noticeable reaction around here which is only
to be expected. If he is to get the planes for
such an attack, the decision would not be ad
vertised. The same silence would envelop a
contrary decision.
Many military observers do not understand
precisely what MacArlhur means. If he only
means ho wants enough bombers to keep past
ing Rabaul and the- other Japanese bases into
rotten-ripeness for seaborne Invasion, he will
certainly have them.
But, if he wants enough lo conquer airfield
by airfield back lo the Philippines or over
Java, he may have to do some telling here.

DEPRECIATION (Part 1)
Among the deductions allowed
in arriving at net income for fed
eral income tax purposes is de
preciation. Depreciation may be
sustained "in connection with
property giving rise to rental in
come shown in item 6 of return,
Form 1040, or property used in
business or profession, the net
profit (or loss) from which is
shown in item 9. The property
must, of course, be owned by
the taxpayer. ,
As relates to federal income
taxes, depreciation is an allow
ance for exhaustion, wear and
tear of property used in a trade
or business, or of property held
for the production of income.
The purpose underlying allow
ances for depreciation is to per
mit the taxpayer to recover over
the useful life of the property
the capital investment therein.
The terms "used in trade or busi
ness" or "held for the production
of income" would Include prop
erty held for such purposes actu
ally not in use during the tax
able year. Depreciation deduc
tions are not allowable on prop
erty used for personal purposes,
such as one's residence or its fur
nishings, or automobile or plea
sure craft. However, If a tax
payer moves out of his house and
rent it, it would became a rental
property upon which a deprecia
tion deduction would be allow
able; or if a taxpayer used his
car in part for business pur
poses, then a portion of the de
preciation on the car, depending
upon the relative use for busi
ness purposes, would be allow
able. A distinction must be made be
tween depreciation and what
may be called fluctuation in
value. In the case of an auto
mobile, it is commonly said that
once a car has been driven from
a dealer's show room it becomes
a second-hand car, and by that

fact may lose a considerable
amount of its value. However,
only that part of the loss in value
which is due to actual exhaus
tion, wear and tear in business
use, during the year, may bu ile-
(tucica as depreciation.
A further rcuuircmcnt in dc
tcrmining depreciation is that
the property must have a limited
and determinable useful life in
the trade or business. Land, for
instance, noon which a binlrimo
is erected, is not depreciable,
since it has no determinable life,
and in setting up depreciation on
real estate, a segregation must
be made bbtween the cost or oth
er basis for the land, and the cost
or other basis for the buildings
The length of useful life of a
property is onen a difficult mat
ter of estimation. The. useful
life of a building, or a machine,
the furniture used in a Dhvsl-
cian's office, a lawyer's profes
sional library, or a- tractor on a
farm, depends on particular cir
cumstances, Including the char
acter of the DroDertv and fhi
character of its use. A well-b'jilt
brick building may have a use
ful life of 50 years and a frame
house 25 years, a piece of mach
inery 5 to 10 years, but in par
ticular instances the useful life
may vary considerably.
In depreciation deductions, the
amount claimed must be support
ed by the data called for in
Schedule J of the return Form
1040. This schedule requires a
statement of the kind of prop
erty being depreciated, the date
acquired, the cost or other basis
used in computing depreciation,
the depreciated value at the end
of the year, the depreciation al
lowed or allowable in nrior
years, and the remaining cost or
other basis to be recovered, as
well as the estimated life used
in accumulating denreelntlnn
and the estimated remaining life
at the beginning of the year.

Why not give stationery? . . .

One of the cleverer types of

Cards arc always good on

the greeting card industry has
gone into the business of mak
ing thousands of different kinds

. . , Shaw's has lots and lots,
as you'll notice when you drop
in at Shaw's.
But why not do a little more
this year for tho people who
are away from home? . . . Like
sending stationery in addition to

IT'S lucky that Spring Is just
around the corner . , , Be
cause manufacturers can use
less of the dyestuffs and or
ganic pigments needed for
women's fabrics by turning out
light colors, grays, beiges and
undyed naturals.
You sec, by a WPB order they
are limited in quality to 60 per
cent of the amount of coloring
used In 1941 , . , Thoy can't
buy more than 18 per cant in
each quarter, but they are al
lowed to carry over what Is loft
. . So when they can save on
colors In Spring and Summer
fabrics, they can use mnro in
the Fall and Winter and give
us darker colors.
Prints are going to bo affect

1941, to September 1, 1042, so
the government can uso tho cop

about 10 million pounds of cop
per con be acquired quickly In
this way.
Fabric manufacturers claim
that with fewer copper rollers,
the fashion in prints will change
to very simple color schemes
and monotones ... All wi gals

I haven't mentioned all the

windows nnd Instrument boards
nnd such things,
But Long's has a now ship

They'd make nn awfully nlco
