Washington Spud Needs Glamour To Compete With Klamath Basin Potato By WILL LINbLEY -. , OLYMP1A, Waiti-. Jan.StT (VP) What the WasWiigtbtT po tato needs is more glamour. Stale Director of Agriculture Fred Martin said today, i- .. ."Potatoes to the cast, of us, otaloes to the south of -us' ic said, referring to the Idaho and Oregon crops -in a slightly dramatic lone of voice as he paraphrased Tennyson.. ;. "The trouble," he went on, "is that in Washington a 'spud is a spud. In Idaho it is the key stone of the stale, and in the Klamath basin of Oregon it is practically the center of the universe." . ;.- . ' Martin pointed to the state's 1S45 crop report, which shows Washington spud farmers har vested 54,000 acres last year. No Small Potatoes "And that's no small pota toes," he punned. The 1945 crop was 7000 acres larger than that of the previous year. Yield per acre increased last year, too, from 210 to 220 bushels an acre. This meant 11,880,000 bushels were har vested last year. At an average price of $1.40 a bushel, this gave Washington farmers an av erage of $308 an acre or a to tal of $16,632,000 in 1945. Po tatoes ranked eighth in Impor tance in state crops. . "People have been enjoying Washington potatoes for years," Martin said. Fried, boiled, baked, scalloped or in salads or potato chips they rank with the best Oregon and Idaho have to offer.

January 15 Tax Questions Answered By U. S. Experts By J. W. MALONEY Collector of Internal Revenue. Portland Oregon 1. Assuming I had enough Income in 1945 to be required to file a declaration, is there a penalty for failing to file or pay the tax due on a declaration?.. Yes. The penalty is 5 per cent of the amount due and unpaid, plus one per cent for each additional month the total penalty not to exceed 10 per cent of the amount unpaid. 2. Is there a penalty for estimating my tax too low? Yes, but only if you underestimate your tax by more than 33 13 per cent If you are a farmer, or by more than 20 per cent if you are not farmer. 3. How much is the penalty for underestimating? The penalty is 6 per cent of the difference between your estimate and the correct tax (but not to exceed the total difference between your estimate and 66 23 per cent of the correct tax if you are a farmer, or the total difference between your estimate and 80 per cent of the correct tax if you are not farmer). . 4. Suppose I filed my 1945 declaration last March but now find it is underestimated by more than 20 per cent. CanI avoid the penalty? Yes, by filing an amended declaration or your annual return by January 15 and correcting the under estimate. . 5. Suppose I based my 1945 estimate on my actual 1944 income. Does that excuse me from the penalty for under estimating? If you based your estimate on your actual 1944 income and figured the tax at 1945 rates and exemptions, there will be no penalty. ' Oregon, Martin recalled, they have a yearly potato festival. A queen is selected and crown ed at a big dance. People mark it on their calendars as one of the biggest days of the year. "Just how they can glamor ize such a characterless lump of vegetable I don't know," Martin said. 'The way they make great of the potato you'd think you were in Hollywood. The next thing you know fel lows at -the University of Idaho P.B.'s Mobilgas Station llth and Main Now Open Lubrication Washing Polishing Tiro Service P. B. WILLCOXON Phone 9177 will be hanging them on the wall instead of pinup girls. "I think the Irish started it," he said. "Ana you know, they didn't discover the potato. It was first found in Peru and Chile and later some colonists who got fed up with life in Vir ginia took them back to Ire land. So the Irish potato came from America after all." As far as Martin is concerned, Oregon and Idaho can glamor ize their potatoes the year around. But when he says "Pass the potatoes," he doesn't care whether they're glamorous or not. He want his Washington spuds. - Cows And Phone Strike Mixed Up JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. Jan. 11 (A) rDairy cows and the tele phone strike got mixed up here today.

Nimlta told Associated Press manag ing editori last night that de. molibilation had left the navy unfit to fight only five months after Japan's defeat. "The saving grace ti there is nobody who threatens to light us at this time." said the chief of naval operations. "You all want your boyt home as quickly at possible." said Nimits. AI am wholly sympathetic with the natural desire, even If It Is more emotional than practical. The fact remains, however, that It leaves the navy at this mo- ment unfit to fight." Firing Squad Slays Traitor BUDAPEST, Jan. 10 (Delayed) OP) Laszlo do Bardossy, former Hungarian prime minister who led his country into war beside Germany, died a traitor's death today before a four-man firing squad. His last fanatical words "God save Hungary from these bandits" nearly started a riot in the jail courtyard where the watching crowd shouted back: "T.nnff lli'A -pmninin' " The silver-haired Bardossy originally was sentenced to hang. The supreme national council denied a firing squad "more honorable." He entered the gloomy Mark street jail courtyard at 8:45 a. m. Bullets from rifles of four jail ers thudded through his body two minutes later. Provoked by the doomed man's last words, a crowd of on lookers stormed against the police-held barriers but drew back as Bardossy half turned, sagged and crumpled after the crack of execution rifles. Whiskey Deo 'Good Business' SALEM. Ore., Jan. It (VP) A legislative investigating com mittee upheld the 1943 Oregon Washington distilleries p'urchase today as a good business deal which kept the citizenry from guzzling bad liquor. The final report, filed with Governor Earl Snell, held that the state liquor control commis sion acted entirely legally in buying, jointly with Washing ton, the Waterfill-Frazier and Shawhan Distilleries. ' The committee, headed by State Sen. Paul Patterson, said Oregon expects an eventual pro- tit Of $5,500,000 to $6,000,000 from the deal, and has "prevent ed a great deal of illicit traffic in inferior' whiskies." .. . . Chelan Bus Had Faulty Drag Link CHELAN, Wash., Jan. 11 (!) The 25-Milo Creek grange issued a report yesterday Miying that n badly worn and incorrectly as sembled drag link was recovered from the steering gcur of the school bus which plunged into Lake Chelim last November 26 drowning 15 children and the bus driver. The grange, located in the area where most of the children resided, said in the report, "the state patrol presented tho broken front spring and pnrt of the steering apparutus. The opinion of the inspector was that the spring was broken after the bus left the road." The statement said that a state patrol report on the accident gave 'a heavy snowfall and driver failure as cause of the ac cident, "and no mention was made in regard to the condition of the drag link." "The drag link was found dis connected when the bus was re covered from the water. It was the opinion of those present that it was impossible to determine whether tine drag link became disconnected before or after the machine left the road." The statement added that "present school bus inspections are not thorough enough to re veal the presence of worn drag link." 57 Lumber Firms Stiil Strikebound PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 11 OP) The AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers reported today that only 57 plants remain strike bound in the Pacific northwest. Some of these, snow-blanketed logging operations, would not be operating at this time of year in any case. No exact count of still remaining strikers was available, but a spokesman esti mated it would not be over 10, 000. The disputed pine operations include 17 in Montana, 16 In the Spokane district, three in the Inland Empire district, 10 in central Washington, four in cen tral Oregon, four in the Klam ath district, and three In the Blue mountain district, the un ion said.
