Lot Aaalaa, MALCOLM EPLEY Jlarxijina Editor EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY DIFFICULTIES at Tulelake war relocation project over the work and military service registration program indicate anew how ticklish ... is . me prouicm ,....... these thousands of evacuees 1 with the division among them : of loyalty to the United States and loyalty to Japan, i The pro-Japan agitators are - constantly at work, and in this instance their purpose appar-S-Wn ently was to Induce evacuees to refrain from registering tor work clearance or military- I service. That thev had considerable success is indicated in the developments of the past weekend, when authorities found it ad. vuable to remove some 28 young men from the project to nearby jails. The- Ideal situation would be to segregate the subversive and disloyal elements in these pro jects, permitting those of unquestioned loyalty to leave the projects for work elsewhere. Whether the sheep can be divided from the goats In this matter is a question, but it appears that is what the WRA is attempting. Clerkship Legal Question THE fate of the Klamath county circuit court clerkship bill, now in the legislature, will probably be decided on a question of its legal qualification. When the measure came up in the senate Saturday, Senator Strayer raised the question as to whether the . measure is constitutional. When it came in again Monday, Senator Cornett again had it put over while the legal angle is being checked. There is no use in passing a measure which will not hold up under legal test. That would simply lead to litigation and more trouble, whereas the purpose of the grand jury, in sug- jesting such a measure, was to eliminate a source of trouble. -The point involved is whether the proposed bill, provicong lor appointment ui tucuiv court clerk by the circuit judge, is consistent with the constitutional provisions for circuit courtships. The constitution provides that the county clerk shall be clerk of the county court and the circuit court, but also provides that in counties the size of Klamath a circuit court cierk may be elected. (The current bill provides for appointment, not election.) ; We do hot know how this provision has been interpreted in the past, but Senator Cornett at Salem has indicated real concern over the legal question and our legislators will want to know pretty definitely how the bill stands legally be fore pressing for final action. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The beautiful and stirring speech of Madame Chiang Kai Shek won the whole American congress to the belief that she is an lmpensn ably great lady but there has been constant reasoning in the cloak rooms since over her program. For the post-war world, she submitted a three-word plan, "a corporate state," in which all peoples would be ruled as one. Those in this country who share Mme. Chiang's views, share also her belief that a world state guarantees peace. That is why they want it. But the recent history of both China and the United States suggests that oneness does not necessarily mean an end of war. The bloodiest of all wars In history was the American Civil war, now just 78 years old. China herself was torn with similar civil war MALLOW for many years prior to the Jap Invasion In 1937. Basically then, a global state would not in Itself guarantee what its aspirants expect. But all men long for unity of justice, and an idea of a world state will no doubt one day be achieved in one form or another. The primary immediate question presented by Mme. Chiang is what kind of a world state shall we have? A democracy on th same theory as the United States? Plenty of Problems THE latest figures on continental populations of the world show Asia would rule any such democracy by a vote of nearly two to one. There are 1,135.000,000 in Asia, only 400,. 000,000 in Europe, 170,000,000 in Russia, and 183.000,000 in North America. The adoption of a democratic voting system for a world state, on the basis of majority rule, would allow Asia, the least developed of conti nents, to rule Europe, Africa, North and South America. The rest of the world outside of Asia would not want a corporate state on such a democratic basis. From the practical standpoint, therefor, the only way of attaining a corporate stata would be for one or more nations ay the United States, Britain, Russia and China to dominate it, without elections. But here again you run up against the ques tion of control and whether the others want It. Russia has only said, so far, that ah want some of Finland, the Baltic states, and Bessara bia, a very modest and no doubt initial claim. Churchill says he wants the British Empire. Mr. Roosevelt wants the four freedoms. . China wants a global state. Obviously, then, Mr. Churchill's claim, plus the apparent attitude of a majority of our people, makes a world state of any character unattainable on a negott ated basis. If this and all other preceding hurdles could be successfully overcome by Mme. Chiang, how. ever, there would still be the detailed problems which defy the imagination: The disposition of raw materials and manu facturers and farm quotas among so many races ' and Interests which have not lost their selfish instincts; the problem of a single currency and backing for it when we have most of the gold of the world, and China, for instance, has. noth ing except her great courage and undeveloped resources in manpower; a single police force, and who would dominate it; the difference In wages paid an American working man and a Chinese coolie, and competition between the products of such labor. We have built up a nation of great wealth and power in the United States and this, pri marily, Is what we are fighting to maintain. The British have built up their empire and want to keep it. It is wholly beyond any reasonable expecta tion that either nation will care to dissipate what it has built up and to throw away what It Is fighting for, to enter now upon an ideal world state of any kind. When Mme. Chiang advocated such a step, she drew applause from our congressmen who knew she was brilliantly advocating th best interests of her people, but when Vice President Wallace advocates it, the results in congress are the opposite for the above stated .reasons. .... World Empire Will Coma WHEN the world state eventually comes, H will no doubt be an empire, because that seems to be the only practical way in whleK world of so many divergent Interests can be run from the top by a single dominant power. Nobody wants that now. Certainly it is not even a remote possibility for the coming peace conference. What we can hope to achieve is a fair, just basis of amicable world living between the Russian socialist state, the Chinese generalissimo state, the British empire, and the American de mocracy. The silly, early restraints against any of these four speaking its honest mind on the subject for fear of offending the others, has now been dropped since the world has settled down to a realistic war basis, and the matter will no doubt be threshed out in congress along practical lines.

About That Income Tax GAINS AND LOSSES Income is frequently affected by transactions in property held for profit or Investment, or used in the taxpayers' business, but not a part of the stock in trade. Such transactions may occur in real estate, or other tangible property, such as store fixtures or plant machinery and equip ment, or such personal posses sions as car or household goods. Such transactions are reportable either in Schedule F or Schedule G of the return Form 1040, and denendine upon the character, are taken partly or wholly into the income account on tne race of the return (item 8). The law requires gains or losses to be reported according to the nature of the transaction, and two separate entries are pro vided in item 8 for this pur pose: (a) net gain (or loss) from sale or exchange ot capital as sets, (b) net gain (or loss) from sale or exchange of property other than capital assets. A distinction is made Detween capital assets and "other than capital assets." The latter in cludes primarily property sub ject to the allowance for de preciation and land used in tne trade or business and held for more than six months where losses from sale or Involuntary conversion of such property ex ceeds the gain. If gains from the sale or involuntary conversion of property subject to the allow ance for depreciation and land used in the trade or business, and held for more than six months, exceed the losses the transactions are treated in the same manner as a sale of capi tal assets. On property classified as "other than capital assets" the full amount of the gain (or loss) from sale or exchange is taken into the Income account in item 8 (b) of the return Form 1040, and an explanation of the trans action Is shown in Schedule G. In transactions in capital as sets, such as nondepreciable property, and securities, the amount of gain or loss taken into the income account, in item 8 (a), is subject to certain limi tations. For such property held for not more than six months the entire amount of the net gain or loss is considered in ar riving at the net amount to be shown, while for property held more than six months, one half of tha net gain or loss is considered. The combined net gain is entered In item 8 (a) of the return. If, however, the re sult is a net loss, then the amount which may be entered is limited to $1000 or to the amount of the taxpayer's net income from other sources, whichever is the smaller. In arriving at the net figure, also, losses of this char Assisting Mrs. Lorna Haider son is assisting at Garcclon's. Mrs. Halderson is the sister of Chester Langslet, county treas urer now serving in the armed forces and recently moved here from her home at Detroit Lakes, Minn. Council Meets The Klamath county nutrition council met at noon Monday in the Pelican party room for the February session. Mrs. Winnifred Gillcn, Klamath county home demon stration agent, presided. ruary 21, 1943, to Mr. and Mrs. Clark Akin, 2128 Applegate avenue, a boy. Weight: 8 pounds. AKIN Born at Lightfoot hos pital, Klamath Falls, Or., Feb. When In Medford Stay t i HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Jo and Ann EarUy Proprietors acter for a preceding year may bo used as an offset, within, cer tain limitation, and the net re sults of such transactions on partnership or common trust fund account mint be included. It should be noted that in the case of sale or exchange of prop erty, such as the taxpayer's resi dence, automobile, house fur nishing, or jewelry, gains must be taken into income but losses are not allowed to be so taken. Such property, not being de-i prcciablc, would classify as cap ital assets, and the treatment of gains would be governed as stated above. n ilSlb IN Alii PLANE ON ATLANTIC RUN WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 UP) The war department announced today that one American officer was known dead and 25 mem bers of the American and Brit ish air forces were missing in an army transport plane last reported over the South Atlan tic January 18.

Bronchitis If -ft- s Today America Pays Tribute To The Man Of Valley Forge M YEARS ago this winter, Georg Washington kept together his I OO starved and wretched troops at Valloy Forge, while the British rested cozily In Philadelphia a few milos away. IN spite of jealous states and a wrangling congress, doprivod of the pow er a strong government gives a commander, he kept together his suf fering army by his personal firmness, hit patience, his judicious handling of men. AT Valloy Forgo Washington displayed that strength of character thot was the greatest factor in the success of the American Revolution. Franklin had a greater mind; Benedict Arnold surpassed him In energy and ingenuity; Charles Lee had greater military experience. BUT it was strength of character that won Washington the love of hit ' soldiers and the confidence of his countrymen. a TODAY, wo salute George Washington at the symbol of strength through adversity and of. rugged devotion to tho cause of freedom traitt of American character which will be a determining factor of the mighty war effort in which we are now engaged.
