New York, It, attla, Cbicarv IVrtUud, Lo MALCOLM EPLEY anntfop Editor EPLEY Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY IT WILL take some vigorous bush-shaking in the next 20 days to achieve the $1,269,000 quota set for Klamath county's April war fin- f tnt ance drive. WT'H-'1'' It cannot be done by the fprsV'i mere tapping of reserve and ' v 2 "sleeping funds" along with I T IN C? ' ordinary war savings lnvcst 1 . . I menu. It will require every available dollar from these Inrffer funds, nlus Increased bond buying by every earning Individual in the county. The size of the quota, when it was announced this week, staggered most of us, of course. Andy Collier, cc-chairman of the campaign, rubbed the back of his head in a characteristic gesture and said: "It's a big job, but we'll have to do if That's a good way for all of the earnestly patriotic citizens of the county o look at It. . G. c; Blohm, co-chairman with Collier, said that "the money is here." He went on to state that it is here In public funds, in various pri vate and semi-private reserves, both large and mail, and in the earnings of the people. The problem is to get it used in government bond purchases In the next 20 days. Even with Increased bond buying by the Vank and file, it would be impossible to make the goal in the allotted time. But in this drive, purchases of the larger bonds will count on the quota. There are probably some funds on the Indian reservation that will help. .Lodges and other organizations will be asked to use their reserve money in this way. City, county and school district reserve funds can be invested in government bonds to help achieve the goal. ; There axe 40,000 people in the county; 40, 000 shoulders to the wheel will bring success in this drive. And that success will bring out standing credit to the county community. Country Suggestion A "COUNTRY WOMAN" writes us a letter on a subject that deserves attention be cause it touches on a local shortcoming. She ays: . "It seems to me that one thing the rural population of Klamath county, especially the women, would appreciate, as much as anything would be a public rest room. A free rest room, sponsored by merchants, business men and civic organizations, and the city as a whole, where . one could spend an hour or two resting or . ' waiting; a room' centrally located, where one could wait, without feeling they were inflicting themselves on private firms. "Many times persons from the rural district plan to spend the day In Klamath Falls, prob ably with one appointment in the morning and one later In the day. Between times, where can one stay? ' As the situation is now, after doing the shopping, there is no place one can rest, except in the individual business houses. As tire and gas rationing become more string ent, this waiting will become much more pre valent." -- -- --- - - Good Project UR correspondent discusses something that has not been entirely overlooked locally, but it is something about which the county seat community has done nothing. At one time, we suggested here that some such place as the American Legion hall be fitted up as a general gathering place and rest room for our country visitors. The Legion hall has been used for something else, but such a project is a vital need here, as our correspondent suggests. Klamath Falls depends extensively upon Its outside trade. Here is something that should be done, as soon as possible, as a hospitality measure In behalf of these valuable visitors. Let's give It some serious thought. Our Missing Fliers THE TIMES DISPATCH of Walnut Ridge, Ark., recently carried editorial mention of Lieutenant Robert J. Swindle, who was bom bardier on the Flying Fortress on which our own Captain Ehle Reber was captain. Lieuten ant Swindle, like Captain Reber, has been re ported missing. No further word, so far as we know, has been received In this country concerning the crew of "Jerry Jinx," Captain Reber's great plane. The Times-Dispatch, as does this news paper, expresses the prayer that the members of the crew are prisoners In Germany. There have been many cases, including those of some of our Klamath men, where fighting men first listed as missing in action later were found to be prisoners. That they may be alive as prisoners of war, or alive and making their way out of some dark land, is a hope we hold in our hearts for all our missing men. New state liquor administrator Is Ray Con way, who has many acquaintances In the Klam ath country, and hi son. Tommy, used to be with the highway department here. Mr. Con way was long the manager of the Oregon State Automobile association, and more recently was administrator of the war savings program. He is able, honest and sincere. We never knew him to be particularly Interested in liquor, but we imagine he will do a good job of adminis tering the business in Oregon. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 9 Mr. Roosevelt has won his greatest victory over the farm bloc but at a price that was not officially 9, TJtyirvwm posted. h V jfv! He succeeded in turning L- IkWiJ) haxlr lha Unnl-hoi,, Kill J. laying the Pace bill, and quiet ing the rampant farm lobby ists, but the senate allowed him to do It in such a way that if he weakens in his fight SsVj against inflation on other fronts (the John L. Lewis miner-wage front, particularly) these bills can all be called back and pessed over his veto. SIDE GLANCES MALLON His men did not like this idea of hiding the Bankhead bill indefinitely as a Damoclean sword in the senate agriculture committee. Democratic Floor Leader Barkley worked ar dently against the motion to send the bill back to the committee. He wanted a straight-out vote on whether or not the bill should pass by a two-thirds majority over the veto. But the polls showed in advance of the vote that Barkley could not get his way, or rather the president's preferred way, because it may be confidently assumed he was acting for the White House. Naturally, the president would like to feel entirely free of this Bank head threat, to deal on other anti-inflationary fronts without the threat of future farm trouble. Losing Vote Expected THE farm bloc founa out early that it would lose. Its poll showed it six votes short of the necessary two-thirds vote to pass the bill over the presidential veto under the most fav orable circumstances possible. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Byrd, of Vir ginia, had assumed inner leadership for the course which the senate ultimately followed. He first started to work on the proposition of sending the bill to the committee. " This drew away from the bloc Such an" in veterate farm supporter as Bennett Clark of Missouri who never before failed to support a farm measure. The reasonableness of this attitude was clear ly stated by Republican Senator Vandenberg. The president, he argued, had sent a strong message saying flatly he could not stop inflation if the Bankhead bill were passed over his veto The president thus assumed the responsibility for stopping inflation. ' If the senate passed the measure, it would take such responsibility away. Mr. Roosevelt, therefore, should be taken at his word, should be allowed to try. The inference, which no one made plain, was that if the president fails in dealing with Lewis, or by allowing the OPA to inch prices up higher and higher, the situation will be entirely different. The senate then would be able to draw the bill back from the committee and rally two-thirds majority for it or some thing stronger, even the Pace bill. The White House victory thus really only gave FDR a chance to have his way if he can. Ruml Plan Reaction BLISTERING telegrams, newspaper editorials, and telephone" calls from back home have made the house rather sick at heart and sore in other places after its own action in shunt ing the Ruml plan and all pay-as-you-go tax legislation back into the deep well of the house ways and means committee. No one seems satisfied, least of all the con gressmen involved. Some republican legislators are complaining that it was bad strategy not to pass some sort of a bill, because the senate would then have adopted the Ruml plan, and, after that action, the house hnlght have accepted ' it. This is a matter of debate however as some senate leaders say a modified Ruml plan could have been put through, while others disagree. But sorest of all is the treasury and the -democratic leadership. It solved nothing. The treasury wanted a 20 per cent withholding tax on salaries or the 10 per cent "forgiveness." High paid war workers are moving around every few months and income taxes cannot catch them, but a withholding tax would. Also, there is a chance that Germany might collapse suddenly and upset war employment to a point where war taxes would never be paid. But, despite all this disappointed reaction on both sides, no one yet seems to have a constructive idea as to what to do now. All are still thinking it over.

Contributions for the first quarter are due this month. The number of employers get ting the lowest rate of 1 pe cent nearly doubled, increasing from 580 to 1135. Favorablo employ ment conditions have resulted in a steady increase of thoso get ting reductions from the normal 2.7 tax since experience rat ing took effect July 1, 1941. Penalty rates, ranging from 3 to 4 per cent, have not been assessed since September 30, 1941, when the fund went over the "6 per cent ceiling." A steady reduction in the number of concerns which would have paid increased taxes has been noted as unemployment ap proaches a minimum.
