II was decided that there was

credits Persons with dependents
will get slight additional credits.
Those who cannot qualify for
credits in this way will get them
after the war.
For all married persons and for
single persons with dependents,
however, the exemption for the
victory tax is lower than for the
20 per cent Withholding tax. The
victory tax exemption is only S12
a week regardless of marital and
dependency status and will con-
tlnue on that basis
Thus some persons will be ex-
erpt from the 20 per cent with

Tacoma is called on to part with another
old and beloved friend. In the business
world John Dover was esteemed for his
square dealing and his adoption of modern
methods in the retail lumber business in
which he was one of the leaders. But TO
greater number was esteemed for his
character and friendliness.
A lover of nature and inclined to things
cultural, his fine tastes were expressed in
the beautiful 'Dowerdell," the familiar
home in natural setting on historic
Chambers creek. One of his delights was
in sharing the beauties of this home with
his friends.
John Dover will be missed by great
number, in social and fraternal circles and
In his church. Groups of the First Metho-
dist church knew the genuineness of the
Dover home hospitality. 1t was frequent
place of meeting for the young people of
the church and other organizations. His
passing will be loss to many, who knew
him through these associations.

Farm Labor

Editor The Times: The typical
farmer is rugged individualist.
Thousands of farmers own trac-
tors and other farm machinery
whose use is limited to them
selves. AS a result. a tractor
works only one or two days
week and then lies idle for the
remainder of the week. A tractor
will pillow from eight to 10 acres
a day A farmer without a tractor
will pillow little more than an acre
per day. If some plan could be
worked out whereby all our farm
machinery could be used all the
time, the problem of manpower
shortage on the farm would be
solved in a hurry.
Our national resources. the
greatest of which is our man.
power, will never be modified to
the maximum until mass produc-
ton is applied to agriculture.

abreast on the sidewalk.
If it was possible then for peo-
pie to walk three or four miles
to their work, work ten hours,
and keep in better health than
many do now it seems to me that
We could do a lot more walking
now. We might make use of the
sidewalks which are so sadly neg
lected now.
Why does not someone start a
walk = to work movement? It
would be one of the best health
movements / could think of.
Even those who stand all day
would get benefit from walking.
Standing causes tension in the
leg muscles. Walking helps to
overcome this. Those who sit al
so will benefit from walking.

with food production facilities but nobody
to help operate them. That situation can
and should be corrected as the first step
in the production program.
A fortunate aspect of the situation is
that 1t viii not be necessary TO create any
new organization TO carry on the food
production program. Farm organizations
and the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
lstration-the Triple A"-can take care
OF that job. Instead of being the handicap
to the farm industry that certain interests
have tried to label it, the AAA in this
state has proved to be one of the farmers
best allies. 1t has developed a program
OF balanced farming. and has fostered soil
conservation projects of inestimable value
to the state.
One of the requirements this year is
larger production of fruits and vegetables.
With the initiative fostered by the AAA,
wheat farmers east of the mountains are
producing about as great a volume of peas
as they are of wheat. Wheat land that
formerly was cropped only every other
year now works continuously, producing
pea crop in the off year. This year the
government will need all the peas the
wheat farmers can produce.
Farm organizations such as the Wash
ington Cooperative Egg & Poultry associ-
alton and the United Dairy association are
notable Tor the progress they have in
splred in two important branches of agri-
culture. Both organizations are squarely
backing the war effort.
1t appears to The Times that the
farmers are pretty well modified. All
they need is a market, machinery and
manpower. The market is waiting and
the machinery can be provided Give them
the manpower and the American farmers
can feed the world.

Give the Farmer Chance and He Woni Need Mobizinu

Officially the nationwide movement to
promote greater production of food crops
this year is called farm mobilization. /"
The acute need for greater production
OF crops has been emphasized from coast
TO coast. President Roosevelt, Secretary
Wickard, of the department Of agriculture,
and others have appealed TO the farmers
for more food to feed civilians At home.
the men at the battle front and the starv-
ing nations of the old world.
But to designate this movement as
farm mobilization" is a bit of misnomer.
1t Is not the farmers who need to be
mobillzed. All the farmer needs is
market where he can dispose of his crops
Tor enough TO pay the cost of production
and leave something for himself and fam
lily. Those who need mobilizing are
the non-farmers persons capable of
working on farms but now engaged in
other occupations; those who own tillable
but unused land, and many others who
can contribute in various ways to increase
this years food crops. Some can do that
by conserving food.
Since they followed George Washington
to vanquish the British in I776, there has
not been time when the farmers have
not been equal to any emergency. None
among the American people are more
deeply patriotic. But patriotism, no mat
ter how sincere, is not enough for the
farmer any more than it is for the work.
ers in war industries.
The great trouble with the farmers
now is the wide gap between farm wages
and Industrial wages. Industrial wages
were increased to attract workers to the
plants producing machines and ammuni-
lion to carry on the war. Nothing was
lone to fix wages that would make farm
abor attractive. Farm owners were left

Magma Chorto

Editor The Times: Long ago I
ceased to harbor resentment
against England for what she
tried to do to us way back in
1776. She owes us a lot of money
that we have charged off to prof
1t and loss, and if our histories
tell US the truth, we would now be
one of her dominions could she
have had her way.
But If for a moment we glance
at the other side of the ledger
we will find that we owe Eng
land a lot our language, our
institutions planted here by the
early English settlers, our laws
modified of course in some re-
spects, but rooted in the same
soil. These are far more impor-
tant than money, desirable as it
is. Though we have no king and
are glad of it, our government is
fashioned in a large measure
after the English pattern.
We inherit our literature
from England, and our Declara-
ton of Independence resembles
in a way the Magma Charta.
This is not bad time to quote
William Pitt, the great English
statesman: THE poorest man in
his cottage may bid defiance to
all the forces of the Crown. It
may be frail; the roof may shake;
the wind may blow through it;
the storms may enter, the rain
may enter, but the King of Eng
land cannot enter; all his forces
cannot cross the threshold"
