prisoners In German hands. Packages get
through to Americans in Jap hands when
the Japs will let them. There is real hope
that as the tide of war turns against the Japs,
they will be more and more reasonable in
their treatment of prisoners of war. The Red
Cross needs money to be able to extend its
help along that line.
- This is a chance to give from the bottom

Rewriting the Income Tax Forms

* No gravy bowl is attached to the
announcement by the Reconstruc-
tion Finance corporation that it
has fund* to help drafted business-
men re-establish themselves when
they are mustered out of the armed
services.
They will need more than just
a yen to start in business and get
some RFC money for free. It
wont be free. The money will be
given as loans, not grants, and
there are requirements.
Actually, the announcement at
this time is hardly more than an
advertisement telling servicemen
with business experience that the
RFC is still doing business at the
old stand in the old way .
Applicants for RFC loans must
show prior business experience and
must be able to put up some per-
sonal equity, like property or mon-

loans, either directly or through
banks

OUIS
To L
You remember, of course, those pre-Pearl
Harbor predictions that England never could
become a great airbase for reduction of the
Continent because sufficient airfield space
couldn’t possibly be developed. There wasn’t
enough land, and no power on earth could
provide adequate facilities for the aerial
fleets required for effective counterblows.
As we recall a fellow named Lindbergh was
one of the first to point out this impossi-
bility.
Well, meet the American bulldozer, the
basic implement which is really winning the
war all over the globe. Even the Nazis know
now that Britain has become the greatest
aerial base in all the world. Apparently there
is no limit to the number of war planes the
allies can toss into the air from English
fields. The bulldozer did it—in record time.
The Transatlantic Edition of the London
Daily Mail, a copy of which is at hand, tells
of plans for remaking the whole face of
England when the task of building airbases
is done—now happily in sight. First job will
be to level land for the construction of 100,-
000 workers' homes, to be rented at reason-
able rates to bombed-out workingmen and
their families, designed and built for a maxi-
mum of ten years' service until peace can
work the miracle of rejuvenation in British
construction. That’s where the bulldozer will
rise and shine with new luster.
The jeep has become the pet of fighting
men everywhere, and the toast and admira-
‘ tion of the world. But in the end the humble
elephantine unromantic bulldozer will re-
make the whole face of the earth from pole
to pole, and contribute most to the comfort
and convenience of mankind.
The airplane is wholly dependent upon
this awkward earth-bound—and earth-mov-
ing—apparatus. Don’t be surprised if you see
the airplane dip its wings in salute
Never was American mechanical ingenuity
or the needs of mankind better served than
in the creation of the bulldozer and its mul-
titudinous offspring. Rise and cheer your
greatest champion and most faithful servant,
ye mortals.'
An Opportunity and a Privilege
This isn’t a Red Cross drive for member-
ship. It isn’t the annual roll call. It isn't part
of the USO funds campaign. It has nothing
to do with the war bond campaign.
This is a campaign to raise $200,000,000 in
cash gifts to the American Red Cross, to en-
able it to carry on its work in all parts of
the world, mostly among men and women
in the uniform of Uncle Sam, including those
who languish in enemy prisons.
Taylor county’s quota is $69,000, as com-
pared with $32,000 in last year’s Red Cross
appeal The quota is in line with the in-
creased national total, which was only $125,-
000,000 last year.
The quota runs to about $1.50 per capita
based on the county's civil population. Not
everybody can or will contribute, but most
people will if they understand the need and
are not destitute themselves. (You'd be sur-
prised at the number of really poor people
who do contribute; perhaps some who are
able but don't give much if anything would
be shamed.) 7
Everybody who can give something will
have to raise the ante somewhat; those who
are able to give generously will have to be
more than ever generous if we are to reach
our quota.—-------
And it is unthinkable that the county
should fall down on its quota, with so many
thousands of county men in service all over
the world, receiving aid and comfort and
cient chairman.
But whatever comes of the present activ-
ity, there will be no relief for 1944. It won’t
be effective until next year, on 1944 incomes.
The two major points in the tax revision
P 1.Euminate the need for 30 of the 50 mil-
lion income taxpayers having to file any re-
turns at all, by making the withholding levy
the actual tax for those whose income is
from wages and salaries.
2. Merging the victory, normal and sur-
taxes into one levy, to simplify the returns
for those in higher brackets.
All this, it scarcely need be said, could
have been done months or even years ago.
Failure to do so is partly due to congress,
partly due to the treasury department. The
two got into such a squabble over the pay-
as-you-go plan that a tax bill of shreds and
patches emerged into law, so complicated
by congressional fumbling that the treasury
experts had trouble in writing the meaning
into the tax forms. The treasury apparently
wasn’t much interested in doing a good writ-
ing job on the forms, perhaps as one easy
way of getting back at congress for having
written such an involved and complicated
law.
Need the country be reminded that one
objection the president raised to the cele-
brated tax bill which he vetoed was the im-
possibility of understanding the tax forms.
So if congress won the first round by over-
riding the veto, it confessed its sins by im-
mediately undertaking the task of rewriting
the forms into understandable English. This
is another good that will flow from the late
unfortunate spat.

DEMO PARTY ORGANIZATION WEAK
By MARCHIS CHILDS
WASHINGTON — Very often,
and it's especially true in politics,
people sum up the movements they
represent. In this campaign this
year, it would be difficult to find
two more strongly contrasted In-
dividuals than Robert E. Hanne-
gan. Democratic National Chair-
man, and his opposite number for
the Republicans, Harrison E. Span-
gler.
Today's column will deal with
Hannegan and how he is getting
along in his big new Job. A later
column will bedevoted to Spangler.
“Bob” Hannegan, in less than
three years, has moved from city
committee chairman in St Louis to
boss of the big show It was a
big Jump and just now Hannegan
is feeling the weight of the re-
sponsibility that has fallen on him.
He is discovering how completely
the party organization has fallen
away in recent years. A politician
who has always worked in terms
of organization—wards, precincts,
patronage—heis a little shocked by
his discovery.
Why, there was no mailing list of
county chairmen in Democratic
headquarters! The national chair-
man didn't even have an office in
the headquarters' Postmaster Gen-
eral Frank Walker had done his
politicking in New York and, be-
fore him, Edward J. Flynn had
paid little heed to national organi-
zation The dry rot had begun with
the departure of James A. Farley,
and nothing had been done to stop
it. +
The truth, as Hannegan has been
rosy forecast. This broke the meet-
ing- wide open. OneCongressman
after another delivered himself of
a tirade on the faults and failures
of the National Committee. And
from Wheeler of Montan* to Pep-
per of Florid*, to one of the ob-
jectives he ha* set for himself. The
explosion over the tax bill will not
make hi* task easier. ,
Hannegan has been out on a brief
tour, meeting party leaders tn Min-
nesota and Texas He wants, how-
ever. In these first weeks of hi*
job to stick pretty close to Wash-
ington. For one thing he intends
to organize a big radio campaign
—spend some real money.
The new chairman has taken,
temporarily at any rate, a small
office in the big plushy suite at
the Mayflower Hotel that is com-
mittee 'headquarters. It has been
a pretty sleepy place in recent years,
this headquarters, reduced for all
practical purposes to Charlie Mich-
etoon and a typewriter
Hannegan intends to fill it with
new, bustling life-organization II
they got around to blaming them-
selves—for not being on the floor,
for missing rollcalls.
At 40, Hannegan has a youngish
smooth face with impassive blue
eves. Politics has been his daily-
diet since birth. His father was
a policeman, later a captain of
detectives. He is Irish, a Catholic.
He dresses carefully, with ties, socks,
suit in color harmony On the
fourth finger of his left hand, he
wears a largish diamond ring.
Hannegan likes to talk. He likes
to talk about organization He says
he intends to get together with the
precinct workers throughout the
country who have become the for-
gotten men of today. He talks about.---------. — -

Sympathy is great stuff unless it makes
you want more.
After all. Congress doesn't argue over a
bill as long as some husbands do.
“Sop up the gravy, squeeze the grapefruit
dry, pick up the bones and tip the soup
bowl," suggests Judge Marvin Jones, war
food administrator. A man after our own
heart!

BODY BLOW
After the State Department's re-
cent series of broadcasts in which
Secretary Hull and his staff tried
to explain to the American people
just what U. 8 foreign poller was
and how it was made. Mr. Walter
Lippmann, the distinguished col-
umnist and authority on foreign
affairs, wrote a letter to an official
in the State Department, saying
how shocked he was to hear State
Department officials on the radio.
It was, he said. Just as though he
had walked into a saloon and
found his grandmother.
From May, 1*41 through Decem-
ber. 1943, Individual purchases of
war bonds totaled $25,000,000,000,
less than 10 percent of which have
been cashed in This shows how 90
percent of the people are hanging
on to their war bonds, for post-war
security. y

For instance: In 1938 John Jones
had a machine shop with $20,000
worth of equipment. He wanted to
expand and needed $10,000 if eve-
rything was in good order he could
get the loan. That $20,000 worth of
machinery was security for the
RFCs money.
The RFC’s announced lending
business experience is to get back
into business th se_who had_to
liquidate or turn over to others a
store, shop, gara e, or similar es-
tablishment on entering the serv-
ice.
But the requirements for such
at RFC, will not be any more lib-
eral than for any businessman
seeking help from the agency.
* •
One RFC official explained:
"We want to help ex-servicemen
all we can but it must be on a
sound business basis. The purpose
of these loans is to help ex-service-
men get back on their feet and put
the nation's economy in order.
"It would not be good economy
to help set up a poor businessman
who eventually would only add to
the number of business failures."
Here are two examples of how
the program might operate:
1. John Smith, before going into
the army, sold his garage for $5,-
000 Mustered out, he wants to open
a $10,000 garage He still has his
$5,000 as equity in asking the RFC
mean the agency had paid the en-
tire cost of setting him up in bust
iness. This the agency will not do.,
RFC charges 4 percent interest
on loans, lower than most banks,
are likely to ask. . ,
But sice RFC is not in compe-
tition with banks, it encouraged
their lending to ex-servicemer
with RFC participation where
necessary.
RFC, of course, can lend directly
any fully where that’s necessary. 1
