&&'IJ War production is such an
EPLEY immense activity, carried on
by millions of workers in thousands of plants,
thai the effects of single interruptions, due to
strikes, inefficency, management mistakes, ab
senteeism, or any cause, may seem small, In
deed. But translate those deficiencies into the terms
of their meaning to individuals, and they as
sume vital significance. Consider, for instance,
what It will mean to a great many Individuals
if the war's end is delayed a single day. One
day's fighting can mean many casualties and
many heartbreaks at home. In the history books,
it won't make much difference if the day of
victory is dated, for example, on August 14 or
August 15, but in the lives of thousands if not
millions of individuals it will make a lot of
difference. And back there somewhere, In the
days and weeks and months and years that
preceded August IS, lies the reason final vic
tory did not come on August 14.
We are committed to prosecuting the war
to the day of the unconditional surrender of
, our enemies. Every day of that process means
cost in human lives. Everything that we do to
bring unconditional surrender of our enemies
nearer means a saving of individual lives;
everything that we do (and every failure to do)
that delays that day means deaths, of our men,
more lost arms and legs, more blinded eyes.
That picture needs to be clearly seen. If it
is, surely Americans, to a man, will strain for
the earliest possible victory, and for the maxi
. mum of production that will contribute to that
victory.

Names for tha Memorial
THE gleaming white shaft that is Klamath's
memorial to its war dead is now virtually
completed.
It stands on the courthouse lawn. Over the
weekend two big trees were removed from
nearby, so that it stands out even more promi
nently than before.
Next step Is to print on, the sides of the shaft
the names of the men from Klamath county
who have lost their lives since December 7,
1941.
The committee has worked diligently to
make the list complete, and it will be pub
lished in full in this newspaper tomorrow so
that any omissions may be detected before the
painting is done. Our readers are asked to
check the list carefully, and if there are any
mistakes or omissions, report them Immedi
ately. The list was made up largely from files of
this newspaper. Conceivably, some casualty
could have been missed. It is essential that
every name be on the memorial.
A permanent memorial for the dead of this
war will be planned later. But the shaft now
completed was wisely conceived; It is most
appropriate and community appreciation should
go to the committee which worked on it.
If Klamath county doesn't come out first in
any kind of Oregon competition, we want Lake
county to win. Hence, we are pleased that Lake -led
out in per capita bond sales in the second
war loan drive last month. That is a demonstra
tion of the kind of patriots living in Lake
county and the prosperous activity underway
there.
Mrs. Isabel Brixner of Klamath Falls is the
new president of the Oregon Federation of
Business and Professional Women's clubs. It is
an honor that does Mrs. Brixner justice, and
it's a cinch 'she will do the Job Justice. She is

CHASE ON TAXATION
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) I have not bothered
you or the public with any of
my opinions for several weeks
but at this time I very much de
sire further opportunity of free
speech through your paper about
the much discussed income tax
proposition. In the first place,
there is a general misconception
about this pay-as-you-go busi
ness," it is not a workable, sen
sible proposition to start with. It
calls for a constant and continu
ous accounting and deductions
and checks and charges and
prophesy and prognostication of
what amount you should be re
quired to pay as you go, and
after all this deduction from sal
ary and guess work of how much
income you are going to have nt
the end of the year, you will still
have to file an income tax return
and get a bill for unpaid taxes
or a refund of over payments,
thereby increasing by a very
large per cent the cost of collect
ing the income tax, by reason of
the treasury department having
to hire a lot of extra help, to eat
up. the taxes that have already
been paid. It only applies defi
nitely to the wage earning pub
lic, and salaried people, the oth
ers would and could make only
a guess in September morn as to
what their income would be, and
another guess on December 15,
and thereafter they would be re
quired to have a gang of experts
figure out how they stood with
their tax dues to Uncle Sam.
The government is not going to
give you anything and further
more, it should not give you any
thing. It is yours to do and if
necessary to die for the struggle
that we are now in. As I said In
my last article, there is only one
class of people that pay as you
go, and they pay both going and
coming and with their lives often
like our late lamented Buddy
Beck, Don Taber and Bob Hamil
ton. There is only one method of
the pay-as-you-go idea; and that
is to pay the tax that you now
owe, and get ready to pay the tax
that you will owe on March 13,
next, when It can be definitely
