FAIL TO AWE
u. CLERKS
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Once lam"nted as a yearly haZ.
ard to be Surmounted in one fash.
ion or another, usually with hair
pulling and midnight oil, the an.
nual income tax return has gen,
orally ceased to be a "big moment
with most Government employees.
Concisely arranged in such a
fashion as to be self-eXplanatory
to anyone with but rudimentary
knowledge of arithmetic, the In.
ternal Revenue Bureaus blue and
white duplicate slir no longer
present the aura of mystery that
once made them as fertile a source
of cartoons and jokes as the moth
er:in-law angle.
The buSineSslike attitude to-
ward the making out of returns
is explained by Government Off
cials as due to several reasons.
Perhaps the foreL oSt, it is said,
is that since the slump of 1929,
and the subsequent Economy Act
curtailments that took place in
1888, clerks have become more
finance conscious"
The majority keep some sort
Of record of income and outgo-
particularly of the latter-and the
records from full, double-entry sets
of books kept by some clerks who
have enjoyed accounting school
or outside" business experience
down to combinations scribbled
on the back of an envelope and
kept for reference in bureau
drawer.
Many departments have placed
stacks of blank returns in avail
able places, such as the chief
clerks desk, and for those who
find the fiscal summing up still
too complicated, there is scarcely
an office without an accountant Or
lawyer willing to lend aid. Needless
to say. gasoline and luxury taxes,
and Community Chest donations,
are being remembered wildly,
even though not written down in
a book.

STEIWER ASKS
LEGION ACTION
TO END WAR
Wise Neutrality Plan
Is Greatest Need Now,
Senator Says
BY FREDERICK STEIWER
u. S. Senator from Oregon


CLEVELAND, Sept. "a Q.N.SO .
One of the big problems of the
American people today, and the
American Legion particularly, lies
in the formation of a wise neu-
trality program, which will keep
this nation out of any wars which
quarreling nations may bring
about.
Congress has attempted a policy
of real neutrality, and has enacted
temporary legislation designed to
lay the groundwork for such a
program. However, Congress has
not been able to enact adequate
permanent legislation because the
Administration and its State De
partment has been more inter
ested in the acquisition of power
than in the enactment of legis-
lation which permanently will in
sure the peace of the nation.
Don't Want Entanglements
The American Legion must ap-
ply all it's efforts to the disSemina-
ton of a feeling that this is the
most vital need of the nation to-
day. We do no want to be drawn
into any foreign conflicts, and to
insure that we are not, we must
enact vigorous legislation setting
forth the American principles Of
neutrality.
The State Department is seek
ing discriminatory powers that
will reward some and penalize
others. This sort of discrimina-
tory power inevitably leads to
racial animositieS-and it is the
direct road to war.
I want the American Legion to
take a vigorous, four-square stand
for an American policy, under
which he will play no favorites.
want the Legion to be active in
work which will bring about the
enactment of laws placing this
country on record as unequivocal1y
opposed to our participation in
the quarrels of other nations.
Must Go Further
There is no reason why such a
policy cannot be written into law.
We must go a little further than
the temporary legislation enacted
by Congress last year. And we
must do it before the present tenn
porary law expires.
It is not for me. a single Sena-
tor. to outline that legislation
specifically. AS a matter of fact,
it should be decided upon and
presented to Congress by the ap-
propriate committees only after
comprehensive study.
But we must have neutrality
legislation. And we must have it
written into law before the pres
ent act expires.

FLYING AUTO
COMING HERE

A flying automobile OF the auto
giro type will be turned over to
local Department of Commerce
officials Thursday, having been
successfully demonstrated at
Philadelphia yesterday.
The new craft, weighing only
800 pounds and able to accommo-
date two passengers, can be
opertaed as an automobile at a
speed of between Is and 80 miles
an hour. In leaving the road, its
folded wings suddenly spread out,
the power is transferred from the
rear wheel to propeller and the
machine rises into the air.
A. E. Larson, designer Of the
craft, pointed out that the owner
could keep it in his garage, drive
to the airport, fly to his destina-
ton and drive right up to the
door. The vehicle can be pro-
duced for less than $4,000, it was
said.
