FRANK JENKINS Editor News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON AASHJNGTON, Feb. 23 Tax bigwigs In W congress got their heads togother a few days back, and found themselves unanimously (WNrn dOUDUUl SDOUl r COniriVO new tax inuiuHacs, iu the amount of $16,000,000,000 as Mr. Roosevelt wants. They offered the first sus picion that existing taxes may be as much as the groaning V1 traffic will bear. From these comes the first congress may not even try to have a new general lax bill. Thev may adont an Increased MALLON withholding tax of, say 10 per cent (on top of the 5 per cent current victory tax), adopt some system of pay-as-you-go and compulsory savingsand let it go at that. This beginning of a trend is being urged by mail from people out in the country protesting against apparently wasteful t expenditures of funds In their communities. No general charge of this nature has yet been made, but many constituents see the high wages being paid for little work, the vast con struction programs (the government is even building county sewers on a 100 per cent grant basis as a war measure, although they have no direct war connections), and other obviously non-essential spending. The congress, therefore, may adopt leadership toward greater economy, (along the line Senator Byrd is promoting) and against more general tax Increases. Wound Is Deep MADAME CHIANG has correctly presented the urgent need of China for more planes and guns, and everyone here agrees with that, but there Is little likelihood that our deficiency on that front can be fully met immediately. As Mr. Roosevelt has put it, we must await the will of the Lord. : What no one has explained fully to the American public and to China Is this simple military truth: The only way we. can lose this war is by scattering our superior forces.

Forest . products in nor mal times make up more tonnage and revenue of railroads and shipping than all other products of Oregon and Washington to gether supply. Payrolls, local taxes, farm markets, retail trade, highways all get their main support from nation-wide trade in products of the big timber. The 26,000 retail lumber deal ers of the United States are the distributors who have sold the lumber that has gone Into the nation's 37 million home. Most of those homes will be in the market for replacements, or re modeling, or repairs that will re quire lumber, immediately after the war. Three million families will then be In the market for new homes, according to the ex perts, who also predict that over a million new homes will be Canned Food Point THE MOST POPULAR CANNED FOODS GENERALLY PACKED IN THESE SIZES VEGETABLES llb.4ot l.b.4oi. ilb.3oz. llb,3or. llb.3o Vfej (ttg&j l4ph FRUITS CT e? s r , PEARS PEACHES llb-Mos. lib. 14 or JUICES AND SOUPS tomato NtAPPtf JUIU juice JUICE 21b., 4 ot. 2lb.!4oi 2lb.l4ox. 23fti. 32 32pti.

Practically all of that business will flow through the retail lumber yards. Provincialism Plus . . . In 1934 a Federal survey showed that buildings on our six million farms were for the most part going to rack and ruin. An other survey in 1938 gave an even more dismal picture. Farm ers will have money for repair ing barns, poultry and hog houses, after the war, and for new buildings. Thousands of re tail dealers serve this lumber market. Here In the Douglas fir region we'll come out of the war with America's largest single supply of timber for the production of home-building and , farm-build ing lumber, plywood and shin gles. the thousand mills of the region may go right on produc ing for the farm and home mar ket without plant and machine conversion. 80 per cent of our land can find economic use only through these outlets.

Further than tills, we are committed to the defeat first of Hitler in Europe. Whatever would have been right in the first place is no longer arguable, since all our training and pre paration efforts have been directed toward cut ting down Hitler first. We are embarked on that enterprise. Therefore, it is practically Impossible from a military standpoint to abandon our cause in Europe and concentrate on Japan. From prac tical necessity, our aid- to China must await full production. These restrictions are as deep a wound to our cause as to China's. Madame Chiang was utterly right in saying Japan controls greater resources than the United Nations, for the Nipponese now have most of the rubber and tin in the world, and plenty of oil and other fresh resources. A thousand American bombers, based on Chi nese airports and applying themselves to the long exposed Jap line of raw materials, supplies, or upon Tokyo's industries, could do more dam age to the source of Jap power than anything else right now. But the decision is with the Lord of time limitations and American pro duction. Mrs. Luce on Defensive CLARE BOOTH LUCE'S one-lady campaign against the administration opening Ameri can air to all the world planes after the war has run into extraneous and somewhat per sonal difficulties. Mrs. Luce's exposure of New Deal Intentions was couched In such language as to Imply that she is an isdlationist so the anti-isolationists say. She does not want to be so classified, and hence has been explaining since then what she did not mean in her original remarks. This put her on the defensive. The confusing situation has been further muddled by the fact that Mrs. Luce has a personality which apparently inspires either strong friendliness or equally strong unfriend liness. What may become "an anti-Luce bloc" exists In congress, based wholly on personal grounds. Seriousness of her charges has been some what smothered by these extraneous and rela tively inconsequential influences. mediums, the retail lumber dealers 'of New York, Iowa, Cali fornia and other states are given no part or place. This is nothing new. It is an old habit of Northwest provin cialism that cannot be matched in any other industrial region. It is provincialism plus. Service Record ... In the industrial areas retail lumber dealers have had a vital war job to do in workers' hous ing. Rural dealers are shock troops on the farm front of food production. All are serving within rigid war restrictions, on duties rated as essential to the war effort. Normal profits are in a dimout for the duration, and the operators and employees of the hometown lumber yard cannot hope for the glory of "E" awards. It was money from millions of lumber sales by retail lumber dealers to Individual consumers that fed the economic growth of Oregon and Washington that built the sawmills and logging operations which are now sup plying war lumber. And It is from such retail lumber sales that the money for Northwest payrolls, taxes, local farm mar kets, railroad and shipping bus iness, and for forestry programs must come when we are at peace again. . 26 million acres of Douglas fir forest plus 28 thousand retail lumber distributors provide the simple basic formula for econom ic progress in the Pacific North west after the War.

HARVEY, JR. SALEM. Feb. 23 P) The Oregon legislature finally dis posed of the explosive milk con trol Issue today when the house voted 82 to 28 to kill a bill to suspend milk control until six months after the end of the war. Governor Earl Snell already has signed a, bill to abolish the state milk control board and transfer its functions to the state department of agriculture. A senate bfll to abolish milk con trol permanently Is buried in committee. Protection Rep. John Steelhammer, Salem, author of the bill defeated today, said milk control is un necessary during the war because the federal office of price ad ministration is fixing maximum prices, and there are no milk surpluses available to make minimum prices necessary. Reps. H. A. Kuratli, Hillsboro, and Herman Chindgren, Molalla, leading the fight to keep milk control, declared that dairymen want milk control retained bo cause it is the only protection they have. House Gets Wine Bill A statement that consumers 'are forced by milk control to pay higher prices for watered milk" was made by Rep. Wil liam Nlskanen, Bend. . The senate passed 23 to 7 and sent to the house a bill to com pel persons who buy wine in liquor stores to have liquor per mits. The bill is a companion measure to the senate bill to re strict the sale of most wines to liquor stores. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (P) Rep. Cooley (D-N.C.) said on the house floor today that anti-air craft "guns" mounted on the roof of congressional office buildings are made of wood and that the soldiers stationed there are "dummies." "We are being protected by wooden guns and decoy sold iers," he declared after telling the house that he made a per sonal Inspection tour to the roof tops to check up on the "pro tection" provided for members of congress. "In high heavens," Cooley shouted. "Why have they been placed Over our head. I am something of a duck hunter, and when I place out decoys, I ex pect to attract ducks. And when I place out decoy soldiers and decoy guns, I would expect to attract enemy planes." Cooley took the floor while the house was considering a bil lion dollar naval shore construc tion bill to express the hope that none of the money was to be used for "painted ships upon painted oceans or for wooden guns." A Chicago man was kicked by a horse. How quaint and old fashioned.

Contribution, followruuj thee, rule., ar. warmly WITH). TOUGH BUDGET PROBLEM Klumath Falls, Ore. (To the Editor): This is the first and probably the last lettor of this kind I shall ever write. I am usually a calm and, I hope, a fairly pleasant person, but now I am a little bewildered and peeved. I don't claim to be brainy, chic or trained in the social set. I'm an ordinary mill worker's wife. I'm writing this as there seems to be some question as to the patriotism of the lumber and mill workers who asked for a raise. As I said, I think wo are or dinary, and have an average fam ily two children, six and four years old. I have two brothers in the service one in the army, one in the navy and they didn't wait to be drafted even If they were members of an AFL union. If I understand Mr. Hellbron nerl he thinks wo are all unpa triotic to want this raise. I dis agree. I think I'm as patriotic as Mr. Hcilbronner. Sure I sal vage waste fat, turned In scrap metal, didn't growl at rationing, and I don't hoard. But the thing that really makes me proud and feel as If I'm doing something for the good old U. S. A. Is our regular purchase of war bonds and stamps. We have been doing this since long before Pearl Har bor. Now, here Is the catch: Even with celling prices, not driving our car, and cutting corners, we find ourselves not being able to make ends meet. We aro going to have to cut down on our war bonds. It Is the only way we can continue to pay rent, doctors, lights, wood and water, and buy a few groceries. Of course, maybe I am over estimating what the money we put into bonds means to victory. I like to think it st least I bought bullets for the guns I trust Mr. Heilbronner's 10 per cent bought. Am I being unreasonable when I want wholesome food (nothing fancy) for my children and a roof over their heads? Do I give up some of these because it's un patriotic to want them? Or do I have to quit buying part of my war bonds? Something has to go. I don't like to call buying war bonds "making a sacrifice" as we all know it is security for the future. I'm sure we all want that It's what we are fighting for, Isn't it? I say it's our right to be able to buy bonds, and also have the necessities of life! If Mr. Hcilbronner or any one else can work on my budget and make it do both, I would be more than happy to have them try. Yours respectfully, MRS. D. R. SCHRADER.
