MAKING 1T EASIER

Nevada State JOurnaD
The Sanate-approved proposal to per
nit small taxpayers. whose incomes do
not exceed $4,000, to fill out a short tax
form and compute their payments from
a government chart IS progressive step
toward easing the tedlOusness and CON
fusion which assail the taxpayer each
March. As some 100000 more persons
may have to file returns next year, under
lowered exemption provisions, the SIM
plified form becomes especially adVls-
able.
As an aid to the general morale of
the taxpaying citizenry, this particular
amendment is more important than seems
at first apparent. There Is much talk
these DAYS about morale-armv morale,
public morale, and army morale as it is
influenced by public morale Yet the
simple move of facilitating the mechan-
ical burden Of tax-paying contributes
to the public's good-natured acceptance
of it.
The Senate has adopted another amend
ment which promises to lift morale. That
is the approval Of the suggestion by Sen
ator Byrd that committee be appointed
to investigate government expenditures
and recommend elimination of nOn-eSSen-
tial spending.
Congressional failure to pare monde
fensc expenditures is coming in for the
severe criticism that it deserves and the
President. who set the pace in spending
during the dcpr r2sSion years, has started
to clamp down on pork barrel projects.
Every time he vetoeS a nOn-eSSentlal ap-
preparation bill ne gains support OF the
public in general although he may create
a congressional malcontent.

THE DEAD
HAND LlNGERS
(Wall Street JournaD

Philadelphia filling station owners like
the ! o'clock closing SO much that they
are considering keeping ii in force even
though the restrictions which brought It
about are lifted in the near future.
Whether the good people of Philadel-
phia are able to get gasoline at any hour
that their Whim dictates or whether they
must continue to be forehanded enough
To provide for their needs before I pm.
Is not matter of major Importance.
What is interesting is that when the
hand of government touches even lightly
any line Of private business. the service
that the business renders to the consumer
is extremely likely TO suffer.
Some of us may remember the days of
government railroad operation when
there was Il joke about the piece of chick
en- that was served on the dining cars
The idea was that no one ever ate the
chicken and that the same piece was SerV-
ed to successive diners. Some WagS even
affected to believe that the chicken had
grown whiskers.
In all probability the government VIII
be issuing regulations for the conduct OF
businesses other than the retailing OF
gasoline And it is not very hard to pre-
diet that each new regulation Will fur-
ther impress upon us that the private
individual running a business tor prollt
is the gentleman who is responsible tor
tse comforts and conveniences of every
day life.
While we are in this predicting busi-
ness we will hazard one other opinion
If the gasoline dealers of Philadelphia
are left unrestrained by law or govern
ment interference, it will not be long be-
fore some of them will be keeping open

ist'' will find that he is attracting GUS

Hollywood S Fads, Fancies and Foibles

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 10 - We
are the ancient of the earth and
in the morning of the times" quot
ed Harry Davenport, 75-year- old
actor
And doing all right too" added
Glen Bevans, who says he began
practicing to be dirty old man
back in 1901.
The vetetans, bright-eyed be-
hind boards. had something there.
Because old men seem to have
come into their own. Gallant ole
men, crochety old men, untidy
ones, dignified ones-Ihey all seem
to be as much in demand as actors
who can't remember World War I.
Mr.. Davenport, whose 10 years
in the theater and pictures is al
all-time record, generally is buster
than any of 'em. Right now he's
over at Warmers IN Kings Row
and wearing frightening pink hair
and beard. And he's currently being
seen around the country as the
lively old prospec;or of The Bride
Came COD"
GLARELESS HAIR
The color of his whiskers has
nothing to do with his role of a
family lawyer, incidentally. It's
lust that his hair is snowy white
that it looks almost metallic to
the camera. So they sprinkle it
with rouge to soften the glare.
Mr.. Bevans, who can't match Mr..
Davenport in years. outdoes him il
theatrical old age. In 1901, having
watched the great David WarfielC.
turn from comedy to pathos by
creating the character of sad ole
man, Bevans began to age himself.
He went to New England, he eX-
planned, and sat around on cracker
boxes in country stores learning the
gestures and the querulous voices
of frost-bitten senility. Then he
played old men on the stage until
he came to Hollywood six years
ago. where now, in Captains OF
the Clouds. he is a spry old Ca
madam trapper.
LIKE THE BROOK
On the same lot is Hobart Bos-
worth who starred in the first
edition of The Sea Wolf" when
Edward G.. Robinson was in knee
pants. BosWorth also appeared in
the first picture ever made in Los
Angeles, The Sultans Power" in
1909. Having been around ever
since, as actor, director and writer
he seemed to become in Hollywood's
mind a symbol Of inevitable senility
Actually, he's only IA, tough as
nails and never ill., After a few
years in which he was unable tC
convince many producers that he
wasn't falling to pieces. Warmers
finally signed him to a seven-yeal
contract. Now he's keeping up with
Enrol Flynn in the Custer picture
They Died With Their Boots On.
Also in that picture is Walter
Hampden, g. and an actor for &c
years, who has deserted his bril-
liant stage career 70 work in mo-
vies. Equally busy around town are

CREDIT FOR RUSSIA

The other day the United States ad-
vanced ten million dollars to the Soviet
government of Russia to meet current
expenses incurred under the lend-lease
program. In this case it was merely an
advance, to be repaid within a compar--
atively few days by materials shipped
from Russia to the United States.
1t was, however. the forerunncr OF al
most inevitable federal proposals to
loan" money and materials to the Com
munist government under the lend-lease
bill. Trial balloons looking toward such
a proposal have already gone up in
Washington.
We've said before. and we repeat it
again-we do not object to furnishing
material and money TO those who are
fighting Hitler If we can use materials
and money to beat him. without going to
war ourselves, so much the better.
But, for the love Of intellectual hon
esty, let us stop fooling ourselves by
pretending that we're "lending' the
money and materials.
How much do you think we're going to
get back from Russia when the war is

A SLAP ON THE WRIST
WONT STOP A DAGGER

You'll be happy to know there won I
he any more Communists or Fascsts on
the federal governments lcnd-lease pay
roll.
There's law against It.
In fact it's written right into the new
lend-lease bill that no person shall be
permitted on the payroll who advocates
overthrow by force and violence OF the
United States government. II any nasty
radical is so brash as to violate the ia"
and weasel onto the payroll anyhow. ne
can be fined the staggering sum OF SlVoO
or sent to prison Ior the unheard ol
term of one year.
OF course. however, every suspect
should have the opportunity to defend
himself by proving he is net an advocate
of overthrowing the government. Inc
lend-lease bill thoughtfully provides 1or
such a contingency. 1t provides this:
That any lend-lease employee can clear
himself of suspicion by swearing TO an
affidavit that he is not member OF any
organization advocating overthrow OF
the government.
Just for the fun of it. let us imagine
I'D a person named. say, John Doe. Let
us SUPPOSE that John Doe is a person
with an inveterate. violent, active hatred
of the democratic government OF the
United States. Suppose. further, that
John Doe has blown up couple OF fac-
tories in his day melted a few strike
riots. sworn falsely in his voting regis
tration as to birth place and national
itv. and originally had entered this coun-
trv Illegally. Being an active. persuasive
sort of fellow. suppose John Doe finally
succeeds in getting himself a vital Job
in. say. the priorities division III connec-
ton with lend-leaSe activities.
Thus we have (in our imaglnatlon)
John Doe, saboteur and enemy of this
country, on the lend-ease payroll.
Along comes somebody like Martin
Dies. He levels the finger of accusation
at John Doe and says, You re an enemy
of this country You should not be al
lowed on the public payroll
What happens? Is there an inveStlga-
ton? Is John Does history traced back
to its evil origin?
Of course not. Don't be silly
Somebody merely takes an affidavit
form to John Doe, he raises his right
hand-or his left. if nobody is noticing
closely-and swearS an oath that he IS
not an enemy of the government, nor a
member of any organization advocating
overthrow of the government. lie IS
thereby completely eXonerated.
Can you believe John Does oath?
