FRANK JENKINS MALCOLM KPLEY ifoMtnai Cdllor i in: i Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY PORTLAND has itepped out with monumen tal post-war planning program, hiring for a cool $100,000 the services of a noted planner, Robert Moses of New York, and a big staff of , experts. The city, school dis r """N trict, port district, dock com lf," M mission and county are putting 11 up the cash, with the hope that vS ' out ot 4t wil1 come a Practical Li program for unscrambling the complicated situation that has V " vL grown up in the Portland area .""i"! through mushroom industrial YV II No doubt the people of k anant every smaller city in the reg ; EPLEY ion, reading of Portland's big -scheme, will be thinking that something of a like nature ought to be done for their com munities. Most communities, including our own, have grown like Topsy, and the Portland an nouncement reminds us that the time is at hand to develop a practical plan that will straighten out some of the present distortions and guide future public projects. We do not believe it is necessary to hire a staff of outside experts to do the job, and the money for that sort of thing is not available. But local talent can be marshaled for the job, and local talent can do it effectively. We are reminded of an outstanding example the pre liminary plan for the Tula lake tunnel project, developed by an able local committee, which was followed eventually by a highly important improvement on the Klamath reclamation pro ject. o o Some Planning Under Way THE city planning commission is doing some constructive work on plans for improvements that will make Klamath Falls a more "present able" city, with park 'development emphasized. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 The time stolen from us by the hesitancy of King Victor Emmanuel and Badoglio at the fall of Mussolini, has enabled the Germans to prepare a strong fight for the entire Italian peninsula but particularly for x the northern third.: Hitler has moved enough di visions and guns into that front for stubborn fighting, thereby raising the question of how fast and' furiously we want to go into that area which we are now blackening from the skies as promised by MALLOIT Churchill. Some' authorities now believe that if we pursue our course there ardently, we will not be able to occupy all Italy before the end of the year. The final outcome if in no doubt whatever, as we incontestably have supremacy of the skies and of the seas on both sides of . the narrow mainland. Yet the .situation may call for reconsideration of strategy and perhaps launching of invasion on the northwest Eur opean coast where Hitler has weakened his numerical strength in order to fight a stronger delaying action in Italy. -v . ' . Hitler's Defeat THE Danish and Bulgarian outbreaks signify that nearly everyone now knows Hitler is beaten, except Hitler, The Danish revolt sprang from two develop ments. The nazis were drawing ever tighter and tighter the economic yoke on the Danes at a time when allied successes had spurred the factory workers to a realization that their case was "not lost. Their resistance brought on the German ultimatum and the revolt. Previously, the Danes had accepted nazi rule reluctantly but without sabotage. It will have some military and much po litical effect. The Germans relied on the Danes for much food, and will now get less, but the number of soldiers and material coming from Telling The Editor m" itaa Hart rmm not ha raoro Mian Ht moi m Inrajlh, muat ba writ tan las-Mr on ONI not ol lha paper onl, and muat ba aimed. Contribution rollowbif theee rulaa, art aarml oat - THAT TAX BUBINEBS KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) This last since the people have been re- , ceiving their forms for estimat ed income to be filed on or be fore September 15, 1943, I have oeen greauy surprised, and oth ers will be, to learn that the greatest number of taxpayers win nave 10 me this estimated income whether their income tax is being withheld or not; and that in nearly every case where in the taxpayer's income is nh. stantially higher than the com puted tax for 1842. The reason for this surprise lies in the fact that the victory tax has to be paid this year, and was not in cluded in last year's computed , tax. . You must remember that we are dealing with two years' tax payments, and the tax must be paid on the higher year's in come, and that one-fourth of one of these jjeats has to be paid as the unfoAiven tax, (whichever : year it the lower.) ,i That was ona state highway time for the projects that soumwesi oi We must also remember that if the 1942 computed tax is high er than the 1943 estimated tax, then and in that case, accordine in "T.v.l tU- Ji Lit uie x-usi, saia miz computed tax becomes the 1943 tax payment year, and that the unforgiven tax will be taken as the unforgiven tax on the esti mated income of 1943. In eith er case, one full year's tax has oe paia ana also the unfor given tax on the other year, whichever is lowest. -No taxpayer is secure in an. suming that he will be fully nid up on a current tax payment ba sis, unless he will, at this time, get his complete data together oiiuwiog nis earnings from the first of this year to July 1 this year and also the exact amount of the victory tax taken out of his earnings for the first six months. Then compute his esti- maiea income for the rest of the year, and the amount of tax withheld at the source, for this nan ot the year, and he should also have the exact amount of taxes paid already on his 1942 computed income tax. When all these figures are properly put together, he can then tell whether he is fully paid up as a "pay as you go tax payer. If there is a balance still ow ing after this estimate and after he has taken credit for the esti- reason the commission asked the commission to establish immed iately the through traffic routes in the city, so that park development could be1 guided accord ingly. The planning commission program con siders that Klamath Falls, a "bonanza" city ot the 'twenties, must now take its place among the more substantial, home communities of the Northwest. Highway and street development unquestion ably have an important spot in any planning program. The city, in its presentation to the highway commission last week, proposed cer tain street projects, such as improvements on Eleventh and Third streets. The South Sixth street proposals are a major part of the plan for the future. Likewise, the Klamath county road depart ment and county court some time ago outlined a series of projects for possible development after the war. These are phases on which some work al ready has been done. Development of a sani tation program in the suburbs, street improve ment out there, proper access road develop ment for the airport, canal fencing, waterfront projects on Lake Ewauna and Upper Klamath lake, are other ideas that come to mind as qualified for a place in a comprehensive plan for the future. It seems important that all of these pro jects, and others, should soon be gotten to gether into one master program. Inevitably, the coming ot peace will be fol lowed by a period of lull in industry that has been producing war materials. In that period, men will return from the armed services to add? to the glut in labor supply. That will be the time when important public projects can be opened up, to provide work for this labor supply and at the same time bring beneficial development to the community. We don't want any more leaf-raking. We want work that will really count Now is the community leadership to plan for will provide that work. that country to the nazis was comparatively in - significant. The Danish army numbered 1500. Germany will now have to police. Denmark more heavily. Smouldering Bulgaria on the other axis hand, is the key transportation route to Greece and the nazi citadel of the Balkans. King Boris may or may not have been killed by nazi sympathizers for failure to please Hitler, or by Russians. : The assassination is less important than the ensuing demonstrations that the peo ple are increasingly pro-Russian. They never wanted to get in the war anyway. The only soldiers Hitler obtained from Ru mania for use outside, were the police force employed in part of Greece. As Balkan unrest grows, he may have to find other military police, not only for Bulgaria but for all the adjoining nations. ' - More than 20 Italian divisions still are in the Balkans in such work. They could not get out to return home as Badoglio planned when Mussolini fell. But they are of less and less value to Hitler. These developments, therefore, mark the in volvement of Hitler in . a critical struggle to hold his home front, a struggle which will be continuous and grow in severity apace with allied successes. He cannot afford to lose it : Taganrog Evacuation NAZI withdrawal from Taganrog (held for the past two winters) was generally ad vertised as a surprise, but it was forecast in uus column August 28. The plunging red drive jtnarkov even then, made it necessary for the nazis to draw back the long arm they had stretched into the Ukraine along the Sea of Azov. Their plan no doubt is to draw back to the line of Melitopol, and thus hold their bridge- jicbu m me Crimea. But this movement no doubt simultaneously will require them to evacuate the Kuban river-head they have held in the Ukraine in favor of a firmer position on the Crimean mainland. The winter Russian line they seem intent on holding runs from the Crimea northward through Melitopol to the bend of the Dneiper, and then, follows the westward winding banks of that stream through central Russia. matea withholdings and his previous tax payments that have been made: then and in that case he must pay at least one-half of such balance on or before Sep- vcuiucr ia, ma. xnis item takes the place of his usual and ordt nary "third quarterly tax pay ment."

MASTERS Almost everyone, at one time or another in his life, is tempor arily convinced that his dissolu tion impends by way of heart dis ease. The final denouement of this disorder is in tradition and literature so dramatic and so startling in its manifestations that people assume that its ap proach is -rooted in stealth and that nothing can be done to con trol it. Such is by no means the case even in times so disjointed ana stormy as these. Men of army age today have been, on the whole, rather care fully fed and educated to a regl men of health from early child hood, even if they do not follow it faithfully in all instances. It will be interesting to observe if these men, upon reaching the years of maturity between 45 and 50, have a lower incidence of heart disease and hyperten sion than those of the past gen eration have had at the same age. PREVENTION EASIER . . After the heart has become damaged, extensive concessions must be made to establish an equilibrium, and the surrender of normal activity is a serious handicap with most, if not all people. There is no specific rem edy that will include the restric tion of physical activity after the damage has occurred. The problem of prevention of heart disease is not so abstract as its cure, and offers much greater hope. The elimination of rheu matic fever and related diseases, or their careful management in youth, will remove a large block of heart-disease that becomes manifest in later life. Syphillis can be eradicated, and with its I WAR KITCHEN QUENCH THIRST WITH COOLING GRAPE DRINKS By GAYNOR MADDOX Concord grapes scent the air these days.

The degenerative diseases of the heart that follow high blood pressure and harden ing of the arteries have their commencement in midlife or later. ' Methods of preventing or post poning these changes do not seem to be far out of reach at the present time. Until such know! edge is acquired, the application of the Greek Ideal of the Golden Mean in all things must be em ployed. Moderation,- the accept ance of physical limitations ap parent in all people as they grow older, and the adjustment of oneself to that inevitable change must serve for the present. REST. DIET IMPORTANT Men and women past midlife who nave returned to or con tinued intense physical or men tal effort under the drive of the wartime needs of industry and agriculture should make a con scious effort to heighten their ef ficiency and thus conserve their energy. Sufficient rest, ade quate relaxation, and a well-balanced diet without excesses, and moderate exercise are particular ly important in the accomplish ment of this end. . Too frequently, the onset of trouble is complacently accepted as indigestion and treated with a fancy display of home remedies for acid stomach, or increasing fatigue is attributed to something more occult than overwork and inadequate rest. A thorough physical examination usually corrects such impressions and often initiates a sound program designed to conserve the heart into old age.

By JAMES MARLOW and GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 one of every three federal in come taxpayers must tile new Incomo tax return by Sep- teniDer is. This is a declaration ot est! mated 1943 income and taxes In most cases a person who has to file such a declaration will have to send in a payment with It and make another payment on Dccomber 13. Four Classes Four classes ot taxpayers must make this new report 1. Those whose Income is more than $2700 if singlo (or married but not living with husband or wife), or nioro than $3500 for a married couple, with or without dependents. As in the past, married couples must file cither joint or separ ate returns. 2. Person whose Income isn't subject to the withholding tax the deductions from pay withheld by employers under pay-as-you-go. In this group are individuals who arcn t on reg ular wages or sularles, also ministers, farm laborers and household servants. There are two exceptions in this group farmers, who have until December 15 to make their report: members of the armed services, who can wait until next March 15, Lass Than 1942? 3. All tho.io whose Income this year will be less than In 1942 if they were required to file an income tax return for 1942. If the 1942 income tax is greater than the cstlmutcd 1943. Income and victory taxes, the 1942 tax becomes, in effect, the 1943 tax. 4. Those who are on regular wages or salaries subject to withholding deductions but who have additional income this year from other sources to taling more than $100. In general, the plan Is to col lect Income and victory taxes not being paid through deduc tions from pay. All taxpayers still will have to tile a final return next March. How It's Done ' Those who file the declara tions must do these things: Estimate their 1943 income and figure the taxes on it (In cluding victory tax). Total up how much ha been deducted and will be deducted (if anything) for federal income and victory taxes from their wages or salaries in all of 1943. Add up the payments they made In March and June of this year on their 1942 taxes. These two amounts the total withheld from pay and the tax payments in March and June are to be deducted from the total estimated 1943 taxes. The. balance, if any, is due in equal installments on Septem ber 15 and December 19. Be Good Guetser Or There are penalties for fail ure to estimate within 20 per cent of the amount of tax as fi nally determined in the final report next March, However, you can file a new declaration by December 15, and pay ac cordingly (to escape the penal ties), if there's substantial change in your Income. In anv case, your total tax will be at least equal to the 1942 tax as you figured it last March, so you can check back on your last return to cut down the possibility of error. Work Sheets There are two kinds of 'work sheets" available to help you figure out the declaration, which is a very short lorm. in cidentally, you don't send in the work sheets this Is Just a collection system, and the treasury doesn't want a full re port until March. One is a tabulation on the back of the instruction sheet being sent to taxpayers. This may be used by anyone whose income Is less than $10,000. It's similar to the simplified form which taxpayers with Income of less than $3000 were entitled to use last March. With this, you simply run your finger down to the amount1 of your net income and find opposite it The War Today By DeWITT MaeKENZIE Britain's Prime Minister Churchill in his speech at Que bec yesterday brought out that "it would not have been suit able" for Russia to be represent ed at tho recent Anglo-American conference which "would lurgoly If not mainly be concerned with hontlng and Inflaming the war against Japan, with whom the soviet government has a five year treaty of non-aggression That gives us one answer to the Interminable query as to why nussia aoesn t make war on Japan, or at least grant Britain und America tho use of Siberian airfields so that we can get at the Japanese mninlund. If cynics sniff at this, thore's a much more realistic explanation of Moscow's attitude. Brutal Suggestion Quite apart from the nonag grcysion pact, It's unlikely that there s anyone in the allied coun cils who would dream of asking an already overburdened soviet to hike on the added task of fighting Jiipait. My understand ing is (hat high allied circles feel It would be positively brutal to suggest any such thing. Mr. Churchill himself declar ed that no country ever had withstood such a duvastutlng at tack as that thrown at the Rus sians by the Hitlerites. He said he didn't blame Russia for any criticism it had leveled at Its allies for not having opened a second front on the continent. He added that the terrific allied aerial attack on Germany would not have been possible without the magnificent stand of the Rus sians against the Germans. No Victory Were tho soviet at war with Japan, Moscow wouldn't be cele brating its third major victory in wrce days. Tne nazi military giant facing the reds wouldn't be rocking on his hob-nailed heels. The allies likely would be viewing the war "through a glass, darkly." Moscow has told us that there are more than 3,000,000 German troops, apart from satellite forces, on the eastern front. From the start Hitler massed tha bulk of his terrifying striking power against the reds In what prob ably has been the heaviest fight ing ol all time. Sheer Folly Even If you look on tha non- aggression pact as a scrap of pa per, it would be sheer folly for Stalin to open hostilities against Japan while still engaged with Hitler. True, Russia la supposed to have between 750,000 and 1,000,000 troops close to Man- chukuo; the soviet is said to have a strong air-force In Siberia, and large fleet of submarines at Vladivostok. The Russians could hold their own, but the Japs also have perhaps a million men available In Manchukuo and northern China nd are set for contingencies.' But, asks somebody, why can't Russia let Britain and America the amount of estimated in come tax. Larger Ones, Too You can also get a larger form, along the lines of the reg ular full-length tax blank, on which you can figure out your tax in detail deductions for contributions, taxes paid and so on. In choosing the work sheet you use, there's something to be considered besides simplicity. When next March rolls around, you'll have to make out a full return , . , and you may get a financial Jolt if you've used the short work sheet in figuring your declaration. Tomorrow we'll go into the choice of work sheet. NOTfCE-Fofowing BUS SCHEDULE Changes Effective Sept. Depart North 10.45 A.M. 1:48 P.M. 11.85 P.M.
