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

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

gains would be governed as
stated above.

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.

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.
