Washington, D. c. Taxes, "a
tioning and the various phases of
the labor-manpower situation are,
in that order, the three things
congressman are hearing most
about from their "bosses" back in
the home towns.
Although the conduct of the
war itself is undoubtedly the sub
ject of greatest interest to the
people of this country, congress
men tell this correspondent that
they hear from surprisingly few
parlor-generals who want to d.
rect how the war should be car
ried on. Either the people do not
think that is the job of congress
or they are satisfied that the
fighting and planning are being
executed in a capable and intelll-
gent manner.
But the conduct of the home
front end of the war is something
else again-and citizens are tell
ing their representatives here, in
no uncertain terms, what is wrong
with our within the-nation pro-
grams
With the first payment on the
record 1913 taxes about due, con-
gressmen are being deluged with
letters from incensed constituents
who want no further delay about
the enaction of a pay-aSyou- 60
system of taxation. In general
these letters indicate the people
prefer the Ruml plan of forgivin
1912 taxes and going Immediately
to a pay-as-you-go plan - even
though the amount to be collect
ed is increased.
The present attitude of the
committee working on a new
Revenue act. however, indicates
that, although go
plan will be enacted, only the low
income groups will be excused
from paying 1912 taxes. Those
earning higher incomes will prob
ably be required to pay some tax
on 1912 income plus at least 20
per cent on present income. It
is hoped that this tax question
will be worked out by ADril.
Meanwhile. all of us must file a
return, and at least make a
quarterly payment under the
present act. by March IS.
Although congressman receive
some letters protesting against
rationing of gasoline and food. the
majority who write on the prob
lens of ratiOnine pro concerned
chiefly with irouui+ios. black

ulations. There is also evidence
that many housewives are Wor-
ried over the complications of
the point system of food ration
ing.
There are still many people
who are confuSeanOr annoyed over
Administrator McNutt's order
stating that men under 38, who
are not in essential industries,
will be drafted even though they
have dependents. Congress has
made moves to change this regu-
lation, but General Hershey, in
charge of Selective Service, has
pleaded that it will be absolutely
necessary to begin taking married
men with children by April tC
continue the present program Of
adding $4,000 men per day to the
armed forces.
Public opinion is evidently
widely divided over the PreSi.
dents recent order to enforce {
48-hour week in a large number
of areas, with time-and-a-hal1
pay for the last eight hours
Some approve the idea as a means
of increasing production and ap.
peasing labor, while others say
it is causing great hardship tc
small business and was probably
inspired by labor union leaders
as means of putting over a big
pay increase.

coined visitor. In the absence OF

America" was the opening
song of the program, followed by
devotionals and prayer by Mrs
J. H. JONES, afterwhich, the read
ing of the minutes by the secre-
tary, Mrs. H. L. Austin, was
heard and approved.
It was found that the club

"quilting bees" had been held
with several finished quilts the
results. Quite a bit of sewing had
also been done 43 completed
suits of pajamas and gowns were
turned over to Mrs. Boney to be
delivered to Mrs. B. E. Reeves,
with about 22k yards Of material
distributed at the meeting, yet
to be made into garments. The

portant problems that face us
today-that being Nutrition"
The club was delighted to have
with them this month, in addition
to Mrs. Boney, the home agent,
also Mr.. Grouse, the county agent.
Mr.. Grouse displayed brick
brooder that is very easy and
economical to build one to take
care of the baby chicks they are
buying.
Mr.. Grouse also brought out
the fact that the government is
urging everyone to raise more
victory crops. such as potatoes
and beans. "Not only will we be
helping our government but our
selves, as we'll, by doing this. as
we are assured of a good price
for them" he said.
The proper place and kinds OF
potatoes to plant was also dis
cussed with Mr.. Grouse demon
strating several different sizes
of potatoes and all agreeing that
the hest size potato to plant is the
medium sized one. not the very
large or the very small.
The club was very glad to have
some of the members husbands
present. and at the close of the
discussion, the hostess passed de-
licious apples. efterwhich the
meeting adjourned to meet with
Mrs. Edd Cox, March IS.
