enemy. hut with a winter OF
severity such as has not been
known for 40 years.

COntending the worst is now
over, Hitler declared that behind
us is a year Of the heaviest battles
in world history and Of the hard
est trials" which cannot be eX-
ceeded by anything TO como.
The Reichsfuchrcr accuse d
President Roosevelt of trying TO
organize the German or even the
European world in accordance
with his own needs" and asserted
that "the kind of world in which
the American President wishes 10
live is matter Of complete in

sive battles" Of recent months and
the continued existence of the Red
army. Hitler said:
Jointly with its brave allies
the German army attacked and
annihilated again and again ever

was anxious to make
the event a gala Occa-
sion, celebrating a happy
agreement of benefit to both
nations.
He organized an impressive
procession bearing presents to
the emperor and marched
joyOusly through the streets
of Yokohama.
Leading the procession
were two gigantic Negroes
bearing the American flag.
Then came the commodore
and his officers in full uni
form.
After them came the band
playing patriotic airs, and
finally marched the sailors
guarding the presents for the
emperor.
THE presents consisted
of many cases of Ma
deira wine and of
champagne and whiskey;
also many boxes of sweet per-
fumes; also maps and charts
and many volumes of histOri-
cal and scientific books re-
lating to America; also model
engines and model telegraph
instruments with an album
dance of telegraph wire ready
for installation.
Also agricultural instru-
ments and clocks and stoves.
And, finally, a liberal sup
ply of rifles, revOlvers and
swords.
The japanese have cleyerIy
learned how to use all these
things-especially the rifles,
reyolvcrs and swords.
So there is no doubt that
PerrN's visit was of value TO
Japan.
Whether il was of equal
benefit to America is an open
question.

Tax Facts

The law of diminishing returns applies with full force to industrial taxation Once taxes pass certain level, the springs of investment and employment dry up industry falters, tax revenue itself declines and the tax literally defeats it's purpose. large east ern power utility recently presented very important brief on taxation to the House Ways and Means Com mittee It pointed out that utilities which strin- gently regulated in every phase of opraton by govern ment always legally limited to a small return on their invested capital They do not and cannot have true excess profs-and, in any event, their so-caed
 eXcess profts cannot accurately be determined until normal taxes and surtaXes are deducted from their revenues. Yet the pending tax bill, proposed, would compute the excess proftso tax before the de- duction of the normal corporate taxes.
 It is interesting fact that between 1880 and 194l this companyS tax burden increased by than l15 percent while its gross revenues increased by less than 10 percent and the return paid the company s stockholders has, as a result been reduced to a very low level All businesses large and small are facing similar problems In many the threatened burden of taxation will be greater than the ability to pay Even while industrial output, due to the war is at an a- time high industrial net profits, with few exceptions are small and are declining This is not plea for "mak ing a pile of money out of the war The American people will not and should not permit profteering in any shape form. But the hard fact is that industry and the millions of ordinary people who industry must make some return if they are to keep in business and progress And another hard fact Is that, misapped the excess profits tax virtually ruin large segment of American industry to the ac- tual detriment of the effort.-Bremerton News Searchlight

DAMAGES TO LOCAL STREETS REPORTED
Files Report With Board of Works - Materials
 Lacking

Several serious rainstorms last month cost the city $13,231.7O, that sum being necessary for repair of damage, Superintendent of Public Works Herbert Scott-Smith re- ported to the Board of Public Works last night. He said that numerous streets were washed out, that two culvert drains had to be replaced, that storm sewers were damaged and that gutters were danaEed.
 The board approved a recommen- dation by It's water committee that 1,600 feet of water main be laid to the new Colonial Heights de- velopment near Fairnont to insure water service, At a conference ear- Her in the day city officials had as- sured George D. Moriarty, New York builder, that water service would be provided. He said that such an as- surance was necessary for him to get FILA approval of plans for con- structing 40 new one-family dwell- ings.
 The new main will go into serv- Ice when the second pipe line is completed.
 Property owners on Chester ave- nue appeared before the board of protest against the levying of an assessment for sewers already laid there. The board will, nevertheless, levy the assessments against the owners involved.
 Herbert Scott-Smith, superin- tendent of public works, told the board of works last night that scarcity of materials will greatly hamper any plans for paving. repair and oiling of streets this summer.
 Tt will be difficult to get ma terials of any kind" he said, asphalt, cement and even road oil. The asphalt company from which we usually get our asphalt tells me we can't get a pound this year.
 "The local Koppers Coke Com pany plant from which we usually get our road oil is closed. Last year we used 100000 gallons of road oil, This year we won't be able to get more than one-quarter as much, not more than 100000 gallons. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get cement. We will have to cur tail not only all paving of streets, but even repair of streets"
