Get that March report on your ft i ?ral taxes in »o you will have some time to figure oti tbe estimate due In April. o—o The way*, and means committee in congress la really working on a plan to simplify federal income tax report*. They will eliminate some 30.000.000 tax payers who are pay ing under the withholding plan. Sounds good. o—o The epidemic of eore throats, fln and severe colde is prevalent again and while most eases are not as serious as some have been prevtotfsly. It'* well to Im- careful and to fight tin symptoms with every I thing you have. Air WUlkle flays President Roose- t velt'u veto message but his is a different angle than that of other

politicians. Hi* objection in that too little emphani» was paced on the fact that the two billion plus voted, is only about one-eighth what it ahould have been. —o — Subscribe to the war fund of the Red Cross. The quota for Adami I county is $16,700 and the canvassers are at work. Don't just give | the usual dollar annual duel. Thea, are critical days and several times the amount asked in normal years wilt be needed this year. -0 Jain up with the Red Cross to spread mercy throughout the world Thea-e are thousand* of places where this agency must work to render aid to those in the service asj|ell as to others in distress. It signifies your desire to aid when and where most needed Please be liberal. —o President Roosevelt has suggested to congressional leaders that provision be made to consider only war veterans for certain federal jobs now and for five years following the end of the war. Why not? These men should have first consideration They are offering their Uvea and should lie appreciated. —o Mayor Tyndall of lndustus|»oii» has flung his hat into the gubernatorial ring and will be a candi- ■ t w date for the Republican nomination. It i* probable that delegates lined up for him will also suppot t James M. Tucker for the senator ship nomination This would line up supporters for them against Gates for governor and Capehart so: senator who seem to have the "go" sigtr from the regular organisation.

Boh Hannegan, Democratic national chairman, believes in organization and in trank language is cautioning leaders over the country to get busy, to fight hard and to guard against over-optimism. His first concern is registration and the selection of workers as precinct committeemen. His program makes sense and his type of campaign is I certain to bear fruit. -0-0— Ex-Senator Jim Watson, for half a century a power in Republican ' politics in the state and nation Is | to he honored by being made the No. 1 delegate to the national convention this year. It s quite likely that he will be largely “window dressing" for the delegation rather than the old Jim who gave orders and saw them carried out. He is a conservative of the old Mark Hanna days hut he will be In strange company when he goes to Chicago with the Gates-Willkie crowd. Hope be has a good time. —O—O Davenport. lowa, is planning their peace celebration now with churches, business men and the newspapers cooperating. They will call it “a service of Thanksgiving.” As the hour nears, newspapers will run page advertisements free, calling attention to coninuous church service* to be held the following morning from eight to ten. a sensible celebration that will be cherished in the memories of their people for years to come. At the -ervices thanks will be returned not only by ministers but by laymen—a sound nnd sober and prayeiful start on peace times. O—o Tbe high school boys and girls have had their fling, celebrating the winning of the sectional tournament, n sports event in which each of th- Adami county teams made good showings Tbe Yellow Jackets defeated the Berne Bears in

the finale after a con’est tbut was undecided until the last few moments of fday. Naturally the fans In the school wished to show their i joy and they did with a couple of I parades and a bon fire It was all ' under control however and the I youngsters had a good time, letting ' 1 off steam A feature of the .Mon-, 1 day parade was the fact that no gasoline was used, the power to operate the cars being furnished by the boys who kept them moving right along. Now they have settled down, players and fans, hoping and planning for success in the regional tournament at Huntington Saturday. It’s great to lie young and It’s fine that youth can enjoy their victories and emile at defeat. —o A railroad committee has been appointed to make a careful study of ever/ form of transportation Including analysts of 43 separate major industries which among them produce the bulk of the freight moving in the United States, lu addition the committee is studying such phfises of railroad operation as engineering, mechanical, operating methods and procedures, labor and personnel, traffic, accounting and statistics, finance, taxation, and many others The membership of the committee includes men of broad experience in all «ort* of transportation and all aspects of railroading As the Association of American Railroads says: •'The approach of the committee Is one of healthy inquiry and experienced skepticism embracing nothing as superior merely because it is new. but clinging to notaing old merely because it Is established, la that spirit the committee is undertaking to survey the whole field of tranaporUUoo ta America and to look and plan ahead for the future. to the end that then- shall be more adequate dependable and servkeaMe transportation. more economically and eßctoatly performed, by the means of carriage best suited to do each u( tbe particular tasks of transpo> - tattoo ihal arc to be done ” Kall iwsd management* know that *omc day tbe gnus «M he oileat.
