the "coops" have done to improve

any doubt on this let him study
what has been done by the COOP

monopolies have been broken and
prices almost halved. Let him
study the struggle Of the poor
wage-earners and fishermen in
Nova Scotia, and the dramatic
story Of how they raised them
selves from sbject poverty TO de-

When Wallace Morrissette passed
peacefully away in his sleep The other
night, q great loss vas suffered by labor,
industry and the community IN general.
Officially. he uas business representative
of Local No. IS. international Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers. but his influence
and activities extended far beyond that
Office.
Wherever there vas labor relations
job TO be done. he was there to see that
the rights Of labor were protected and
that no unnecessary restrictions were
forced upon industry. He realized that
labor and industry are necessary to each
other and that there il a common ground
where both can meet He was : powerful
influence for good in the industrial rela-
tons field.
he was a member Of the Young Mems
Business club. Industrial Bureau Of the
Chamber Of Commerce. Tacoma Housing
committee. leader in the payroll division
Of the Community War Chest. and the
board to which seleetive service appeals
are referred; the Eagles, and Elk Plain
Grange These connections indicate some
thing Of the wide scope Of his activities.
Few residents of Tacoma have been
more active in affairs touching 30 many
sides of the community life. The place Of

HOW THEY DO IT
AT WHITMAN

Editor The Times: I would like
to call TO your attention the work
the Whitman school and PIT. A.
are doing toward selling defense
stamps. This is a good under
taking and / believe should have
some publicity. II for no other rea-
son than to get all the schools in
Tacoma TO doing the same thing.
Every Wednesday the children
bring their money for defense
stamps. The order is taken by
the teachers and sent with the
money TO the principals office
where two PIT. A. women check
and total for the entire building.
The women buy the stamps and
deliver them TO each room.
Since Sept % We have sold seo6
worth Of stamps. Our biggest
week was the present week when
we sold S152.45 worth. The prin-
cipal. Mr.. c. L. Carroll. deserves
much credit. as well as the teach
ers for this work. Many Of these
pennies would never go for stamps
II this weren't being done.
II you see fit TO use this and
need any more information. I'm
sure Mr.. Carroll would be glad to
give il to you IL you would call

} Moving Mountains

As the figures on the lend-lease con-
tribution 10 the Egyptian and other fronts
are released II seems almost ~ IL the
miracle of moving mountains Is being
accomplished.
In President Roosevelt's report there
Is listed more than 1000 planes, hundreds
Of tanks, of which more than 500 are
medium type, 10000 trucks and hundreds
of pieces Of artillery. All this in nine
months. When to the list are added am
munition. food. medical supplies, spare
parts and maintenance equipment that
must have gone, the total is stupendous.
II all had not only to be produced in
America but large part of the shipping
must have been ours.
This material went forward as well as
lend-lease for Russia, China and other
allies. And, in addition. We have had TO
produce and ship our own supplies, for the
lease-lend to Africa was for British, not
American use.
In this report on lend-lease there is a
clue to the change on the African front,
and hint Of the appalling job of prepar-
ing an expeditionary force. Mr.. Roosevelt
remarked that large as the American con-
tribution has been il is less than the Brit
ish equipment in use in Egypt. There is
sober reminder that opening a second front
on Hitler is going 10 mean something more
than wading ashore from rowboats and
dashing for Berlin.
There will be many mountains to move
before we finish the fight and win the
peace.

} rs Years Of the Soviet

Soviet Russia. fighting on the side Of
the United Nations and keeping Hitler
too busy to wipe out England, is twenty
five years old. When the revolutionary
government succeeded the czarists, few
thought that il would last a quarter of a
century. There were many predictions that
il would fall of its own weight inside of =
decade. Our estimate Of new movements
is not always correct.
The Soviet has changed greatly, in
philosophy and method, since Lenin's day.
but the government he set up twenty-five
years ago still stands.
Not only does the Soviet still stand
after a quarter of a century but it is un-
doubtedly true, as Stain said. that it was
never before so strong internally. The war.
the defense of the homeland. has welded
Russia as nothing else could have done.
II looks now as If that defense is going
to be successful. and that means the end
of Hitler's plans of world empire. There
won't be any question of the part Russia
has played in the victory for the United
Nations. What Russia's place is to be in
the new world set-up is something to think
about.

The reapportionment bills - Lex Greens and Delegate Dimond's - are apparently both out for the dur ation. War being what it is and most important task of the nation, such things as setting up an Alaska Leg islature on basis of population are relegated, naturally enough, to com mittee files headed matters to be attended to later"
 . Nevertheless, Alaska is going to have a primary election on April 28 to elect the customary four rep resentatives from each Division and one Senator from each as well as some Territorial officials. Senators are elected for four years, thus only one from each Division is elected every two years.

ONE WAY TO HELP

The lowly paper bag is coming into its own. Also that piece of wrapping paper generally so care lessly tossed into the waste paper basket
 All over the country people are becoming paper-conscious because paper is one of the commodities which is, with defense work first on the program, hard to get Many paper mills are being fooled to turn out war supplies instead of paper and the result has cut sharply into the supply. Wrangell buyers are being asked to go along with the rest of the nation in conserving paper When articles are purchased, like butter or timed goods or other things already in containers, the country can be helped by not asking to have them wrapped. The less pa per a store has to buy, the more 'eannon-fodder" can be manufac- tured to bring a speedy end to our enemies.

YOUR INCOME TAX

This is the second in a series
 of brief articles prepared by the
 Bureau of Internal Revenue.
 Treasury Department. dealing
 with your income tax. Other ar
 ticles on the same subject will
 appear from week to week in
 The Sentinel until the fore part
 of March when you must file
 your return. They are prepared
 to advise the taxpayer of the
 main changes in the law and to
 help you in preparing your in
 come return
 Forms for filing returns of income for 1941 have been sent to persons who filed returns last year. Failure to receive a form, however. does not relieve a taxpayer of his obligation to file his return and pay the tax on time-on or before March 16 if the return is made on the calendar-year basis, as is the case with most in- diYiduals.
 Forms may be obtained upon re- quest, written or personal, from the offices of collectors and from deputy collectors of internal revenue in the larger cities and towns.
 A person should file his return oU Form 1040, unless his gross income for 1941 does not exceed $3,000 and consists wholly of salary, wages, ol other compensation for personal ser. vices, dividends, interest. rent, an. nuities, or royalties. in which event he may elect to file it on Form 1040A, a simplified form on which the tax may be readily ascertained by reference to a table contained in the form.
 The return must be filed with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer has his legal residence or principal place of business on or before midnight ot March 16, 1942. The tax may bt paid in full at the time of filing thf return or in four equal instaIlments due on or before March 16, June 15 September 15, and December Is.
 In making out your income tax re- turn read carefully the instructions that accompany the form. If you need more information, it may be ob- tained at the office of the collector of internal revenue, deputy collec- tor, or an internal revenue agent in charge.
 Remember that single persons or married persons not living with husband or wife, who earn as much as S14.43 a week for the 52 weeks of the year. and married persons liv. ing together who have aggregate earnings of as much as $28.85 8 week for the year, are required tc file returns.
