Farmers to Get
s1,500,00O,O00
For 1943 Crops

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 18 UP -
William j. Cecil, state director Of
agriculture, estimates California
farmers would receive cash in
come of Sl,5O0O00,0O0 during 1913,
by far the highest" in history, but
said that net form income did not
increase prop rcrtionately.
income did not increase propor-
tionately.
The figure, Cecil said, is about
So per cent higher than for 1912,
the previous l.igh record. Most OF
the gain in :rcome came from
increased prices for farm products.
The cash farm income foI Cali
fornia in 1943," he said, produced
on less than three per cent of the
nations farms, probably will be
about 8 per est of the total United
States cash farm income. Income
from tho sale of crops in California
will comprise about Is per cent OF
the u. S. total from the sale of all
crops, while that from livestock
sources will amount to approx
mately 4 per cent of the U. S
total"
Net income to farmers failed to
increase with total income, Cecil
said, because of much higher pro-
ductior md marketing costs. How
ever, ne said it was apparent that
farmers in the state as a whole
were able to realize greater net
profits than for several years"

fLINGING PRINTERS INK

A member of the lower house from
Missouri has locked horns with Elmer
Davis, director of the Office of War In
formation relative to the number of pub
lications Uncle Sam now edits and issues.
The number has increased, of course,
since the setting up of the Owl and the
advent of Mr.. Davis in the realm OF
bureau heads. These publications are
issued daily, weekly, semi-weekly, month
ly, quarterly and as periodicals. A spe-
cial-extra is not uncommon. Davis chal-
lengad the Missourian's statement "that
the government had become the worlds
number one publisher" whereupon the
representative made partial count and
listed, for Davis benefit total of AL
such publications covering subjects, as
the old-time farm auction bill concluded,
s'too numerous to mention" The dispute
should serve as another reminder to the
government that there is paper short

Senate May Hike
New Tax Total,
George Asserts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. CUP)-
Chairman Walter F. George, Demo-
crat, Georgia, of the senate finance
committee said Saturday there was
still possibility that the senate
might raise the new tax bill above
the $2,284 100000 yield approved by
his committee.
The committee, adding $144,000,000
to the total of the house-approved
measure, completed action late
Thursday in a rush to get it enact
ed before the Christmas recess.
Now that it is evident the bill
cannot be passed until after the
holidays, George conceded that "it
is possible we may wish to increase
its total revenue by offering amend
ments from the floor"
The bill left the house calling
for S2,l40,000,000 in new taxes but
the Joint congressional tax staff
said that as modified and ap-
proved by the senate committee
Thursday, the measures yield was
boosted to around $2,234 100000, or
an increase of $144 100000 over the
house figure. Treasury experts
figured the total was about $2,-
276,500,000
The bill, as the senate commit
tee approved it:
l. Retained present individual in
come tax rates with repeal of the
present 10 per cent earned income
credit, and retention of the sep
are victory tax with flat three
per cent rate on all incomes over
1924. 1t was estimated tentatively
that the earned income credit re-
peal added $6O0,000,O00 in revenue
while the flat victory tax rate lost
$60,000,000 The net result of these
changes is to increase the indiVid-
ual income tax burden by $540,-
100000.
2. Increased to 95 per cent the
rate of corporation excess profit
taxes and retained the present 80
per cent overall ceiling with re-
spect to corporate, normal, surtaX
and excess profits taxes. Increased
from $500 to $4,000 the specific
exemption credit.
8. Increased excise taxes gener-
ally but with the total boost prob
ably some $20O,O00,OO0 less than
! the house-approved additions OF
$1,201 100000
q. Narrowed scope for the wal
contract renegotiation law.
5. Dropped from the tax bill the
Vandenberg amendment to freeze
social security taxes at their pres
ent one cent rate for year, but
added a 60-day freezing amend
ment to a house joint resolution
making importation of livestock and
poultry feed duty-free for 80 days
6. Defeated a last-minGte effort
to exempt labor unions and farm
cooperatives from the previously
approved requirement that non
| profit corporations file untaxable
| International returns annually
with the internal revenue bureau.
7. Exempted from income taxes
mastering -out pay to honorapll
| discharged service men.

WHILE YOU WAIT
(Christian Science Monitor)


Americas civilian morale is being
nightly bolstered by foot soldiers OF
a somewhat different type-not the mud
marching, weapon-carrying lnfantrymen
who are winning battles abroad, but the
unarmed and unmiitant shoe repair man
at home.
Gasoline restrictions which set much
of the nation to walking for short dis
tances, coupled with shoe ratiOning, have
greatly increased the demand for the
cobbler's services and the world literally
is beating a path to his door, The
somewhat dingy sign: Shoes repaired
while you wait" has disappeared from his
window, swept away by an avalanche OF
unfinished work Never has the cobbler
labored longer or harder
1t hasn't been a case, as with most
shopkeepers, of throwing in emergency
clerks when business is brisk; like the
soldier, the shoe repairman must undergo
long and careful training and there were
few apprentices after Pearl Harbor.
Although prices of repairs have not
increased in proportion to rising living
costs, and although he has had ample
opportunity to take far more remunera-
tive positions in war plants, the shoe
repair man has seemingly decided to
"stick to his last" and continue to serve
those upon whom he has so long depend
ed for modest livelihood. Perhaps in
q less harred day his wartime service
in keeping the country shOd at a time
when shoes were hard to come by will
be accorded deserving recognition.

LEGISLATIVE REHEARSALS
pasadena Star-NewS)

Atty Gen Robert w Kenny, in a re-
cent talk before the Commonwealth club
of San Francisco, made the suggestion
that newly elected legislators in Califor-
MIA hold a kind of dress rehearsal before
their first regular session of the legisla-
ture. His proposal is an unofficial ses-
sion in advance of the regular one.
1t is a common observation that con-
siderable part of any public officials
term is spent by him learning something
about the job. City councilmen have to
do it, and congressman, and state legis-
lators, too The system wastes a lot of
valuable time in government.
Legisl latureS in several other states
have tried the unofficial sessions as a
school of instruction in their duties, with
excellent results, it is said.

Flu Nears Peak,
Officials
Say after Study
BY UNITED PRESS

The spread of influenza, Whlcn
has forced schools to close ana
war plants to curtail operations
in many areas, soon will reacn lVS
peak. health authorities throughout
the nation believed Saturday.
Most areas, including many heav-
ily congested war centers, reported
increases in the number OF cases
during the last week. Few cities
reported any decline in the spread
of the infection, but public health
statistics in some areas indicated
that the disease already had reach
ed its peak.
Physicians emphasized that the
influenza was of a mild type, but
they warned that patients should
be kept under close surveillance be-
cause with sharp changes in wealth
er the disease easily might lead
to pneumonia.
In Michigan, one of the most
sariously stricken states, health.
authorities estimated that 25 per
cent of the population of the Upper

piratory infections. In the lower
peninsula of the state, epidemiol-
ogists estimated that Is to 20 per
cent of the population was stricken.
At Philadelphia, health officials
said the number of cases had de-
creased slightly from the peak of
100000 reported early in the week.
San Francisco reported a sharp
increase and the infection contin-
ued to spread at Los Angeles and
Hollywood, where many movie stars
were iii anu shooting OF pictures
was disrupted.
The health department at Wash
ington estimated that 10000 per-
sons in the congested capital had
contracted the disease since Thanks
giving, but the number of cases re-
ported this week was about the
same as last.
Most cities reported Is to 25 per
cent Of school children absent, but
authorities believed the figures did
not accurately reflect the prevail
ence of the disease, because many
parents probably kept their chill
dren home as & precaution.

A WORLD LANGUAGE
Detroit Free Press)

A committee representing the minis
tries of education of eight continental
European governmentS-in-eXile in Lon
don recommends either English or French
as a postwar language-with "a slight
leaning toward English" Why only
slight?
Already English is spoken by more
people-270, 100000, according to an esti-
mate by the editor of the New Standard
Dictionary-than any other single Ian
guage Spoken Chinese is broken up
into many dialects, as are the languages
of India and the Soviet Union Spanish
is spoken by 103 100000 people, Japa-
nese by 98,000,000, German by 100000
and French by 69,0O000O.
As the language of commerce English
is still spreading, while French has lost
ground even as the polite language of
drawing rooms and diplomacy. A knowl-
edge of French is key to one of the
worlds great literatures, but, if what is
desired is a common medium of COM
munication among nations on everyday
matters, why not plunk squarely for
English?

Youth Authority
Problems Aired

School of Industry, particularly, is
overcrowded with youthful offend

average confinement of boys at
NelleS School at Whittier has been

The youth authority director told
a joint legislative budget commit
tee he would favor amendments to

age of persons who can be COM
mitted to it from 80 to 81, and other
amendments to eliminate overlap

Grain Shortage
Hits Alcohol,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. tUP)-
The grain shortage appeared Satur-
day to be the principal reason why
American liquor manufacturers can
not expect a holiday" from war
production to make whisky
Testimony before the senate judi
ciary subcommittee investigating
the liquor shortage indicated that
steadily decreasing reserves OF
wheat, rye, corn, and oats are the
principal factor in a situation which
has dried UP sources of civilian Ii
quor supplies and in some places
has resulted in bootlegging and hi
lacking in the worst tradition OF
the lawless tWenties.
War food administration officials
told the committee yesterday that
grain supplies-which year ago
reached the highest point in his
tory-cannot be maintained in
coming months because Of lend
lease demands, decreased produc-
ton this year, and diversion to
production of industrial alcohol.
Civilian alcohol supplies cannot
be manufactured without seriously
hampering the war effort, they said

AMENDED INCOME RETURNS
FILED WITH COLLECTOR

The Fl Centric Internal Revenue
office reports that many filings of
amended returns were made because
of taxpayers under-e estimating their
annual income.
James Maribel, representative OF
the collectors office, said that I'M
perial county filings are unique in
that there are so many partner
ships and diversified interests on
the part of the taxpayers. Some
taxpayers operate businesses and
are partners with as many as three
or four other individuals in as
many different enterprises, mostly
