•Surely they gain nothing by that The world Is fighting nol only to win world war II but to prevent a world war 111. Millions of lives ran be saved if the Axis leader* admit defeat and the future for every nation will be brighter than if the wars are prolonged. A dozen rather important laws enacted by the 1943 legislature are now discovered to be defective because not properly worded. It looks like if we have to have the laws to get by a special session will he necessary to * rrect the new acts. Reason for the many mistakes Is reported to be that the isaemhly refused to employ experts to sian the hills before they were sent to the governor. That seems to have been poor ecom my Those "h norable Jails who after I’earl llarlKir broadcast they would march across the l nlted States and write the peace terms in th* White House are now planning to hide among the re* kx of i their native land as the Allies form a steel * halu that will soon en circle them and continually tighten. The Cairo conference decided to atrip Japan of her power and to relieve her of all the illgotten territory she ha grabbed the past fifty yea i s. -0 The in* situation is so serious that millions of tars may he stalled in th* garages next year. This month the allotment is only 63" 000 m-w tires lor all th*- twenty-four million passenger cars now on the road Compare that m nthly quota with the four and one-half million tires sold each month before the war. of course, if our particular community could have an allotment of 630.000 tires everything would jhe Ini*'. But the 630,006 must be divided among M.noO.nnn passenger cars. The state high school equivalency program, to he published as Bulletin No. 133 of the Slate Department of Education, will lie ready for distribution ike first of ! th* y*-ar. This program gives the official procedure whereby any adult wishing t complete his high school education, may do so under local school control, without having to return to the regular high school classes. I'nd* i the guidance and direction *-f the county, town and city superintendents of schools in cooperation with high school principal* and teachers of the subject matter, work is given to adults, whielt when completed satisfactorily, entitles th. student to his high *cho ! diploma.

Protest Federal Tax On Betting Receipts Term Tax Invasion Os States' Rights Washington. Dec. S—(UP)—Several ststeo are protesting the proponed federal tax on parl-mutnel receipts. States that have legalized honebetting complained to the aen*te finance committee that a five percent tax on mutuel receipts would invade elate* rights, wrecking stole finances, and increase illegal bookies. The proposed tax Is part of the new 42.000,001*000 tax bill now pending in the aenate. The betting tax would net an estimated $27,960,000 a year to the federal treesarsy Governor Holland of Florida told the committee this field of taxation rightfully belong* to the states. He said a federal tax would discriminate against the 22 state* which have legalised racing, and that **nae states would be forced to con- • titutional revisions to flad new revenne. He added that atate taxes already are aet aa high as racing can pay.
