ures that you need to memorize
and count off on the four fin
gers and thumb of one hand,
while you hold your cocktail
glass in the other, TO be an au-
thority on economics and infla-
ton.
First figure in this item on ma
tional income. If you don't like
$145 billion, pick your own. 1t
would be wise, however, to pick
something above Sl20 billion,
which is what it was in 1912.
National income is what every
body gets, from all sources. 1t
is we'll to use the thumb in
counting off this figure, SO that
you have the four fingers left
for the other, more important
items.
FIRST FINGER FIGURES
For the index finger, itemize
the item of income payments to
individuals. This is merely ma
tional income less corporation

auctions from our pay enve.
lopes. With national income of
SIS billion, a convenient, round
number figure to use in your
lecture would be-oh, say, $l40
billion. 1t was Sis billion in
1912.
On your middle finger, SUBJ
tract taxes. Nobody knows what
Congress is going to do about
tax-forgiveness this year not
even Congress itself-so one
guess is as good as another. If
you think tax collections in the
calendar year 1913 will be SIS
billion this year, say SO firmly
and defy your listeners to prove
you wrong.
Deduct taxes from income
payments to individuals and you
have left Sl40 billion minus
SIS billion-S125 billion of dis
possible income, which is the
high brow economists name for
spending money.
In 194l, consumer expendi-
lures weren't quite SIS billion,
and in 1912 they were $82 bill
lion. Consumer expenditures in
1943-the item 10 check off or
your ring finger-can't make as
big a jump ipsg1 943, and the
economists figure it won't 60
above $85 billion and will prob
ably be less.

REPRESENTATIVE TRASH IN.
TRODUCES THREE BILLS

Gilbert N. Trash, representative
from this county to the general as
sembly, introduced three measures
in the legislative hopper, this week
One bill is designed to put a stop
to what Mr.. Frash terms as unfair
practices in oil and gas leases. The
bill would amend the General Code
to read, IF any we'll on the leas-
ed premises named shall produce
natural gas or oil in paying guam
titles, and such natural gas or oil is
marketed by the lessee, then the
lessor shall be paid, as royalty, not
less than one-eighth of the net pro-
ceeds from the sale of SO much as
is so marketed by the leesee.
Mr.. Trash states that there are
many people in this county who re-
ceive from $50 to $2V0 yearly for
gas produced on their premises,
and some get free gas only. It is
pointed out that there are gas wells
not far from here producing mil
lions of cubic feet of gas, and all
the lessor receives is 5000 While
the bill speaks of oil, as a general
thing lessons already receive the
one-eighth of all oil produced. 1t
would seem that this bill has much
merit, and should have the support
of the grange and other farm or
ganizations.
Another bill he introduced would
change our time pieces back to CEN
trai time. The other bill would re-
duce the driving speed limit in the
state from so to 35 miles per hour.

SERGEANT PAUL HEBRON
ADDRESSES ROTARIANS

Technical Sergeant Paul Heron,
addressed the Rotarians and a number
OF their invited guests last Friday
night at the Kennebec hotel. Sgt.
. Heron, who has been at Dutch Har-
Dor, Alaska, for year, has. been
spending his furlough with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Heron, Of
Neelyville. He left Monday on his
return trip to Alaska.
Notwithstanding the fact that be-
cause OF the censorship. Sgt. Heron
could not tell many things, his ad-
dress was very interesting and much
appreciated. Sgt. Heron is chief
clerk OF the Ordnance, and as such is
thoroughly familiar with the amount
of army equipment-ammunition
tanks, trucks, provisions, etc., at
Dutch Harbor. He stated that he
was sold on the army supply sys-
tenn, and remarked that II every
thing else connected with the gov
eminent was as economically man
aged as the army, there should be
no kick coming. He said that ev-
erything must be strictly accounted
for, and they must always know
what they have on hands, and what
they need.
Since the government has never
given out officially the full extent of
the damage done by the Japs when
they made their raid on Dutch Har-
Dor, Sgt. Heron gave no indication
OF what it was, although he has the
figures. He simply said they were
heavy. Artillery, he stated, played
but very small part inasmuch as
now It is practically all aerial.
The great amount Of supplies re-
Qufred, can scarcely be imagined, !
he said, which accounts for the
scarcity Of gasoline, and many 9TH
er things in the United States.
OF the Japs' Zero planes,
Sergeant Heron said that he was
