OPA Gasoline
Florida motorists were given
until June Is to display proper
gasoline ration stickers on their
cars and the OPA moved to crack
down even harder on holders of B
and c cards who use their fuel
allotments for pleasure driving.
Motorists displaying more than
one sticker were warned by the
OPA that they are violating regu-
lations by doing so. Gasoline deal
ers likewise were warned that
they are committing violation
when they sell gasoline to mo-
torist whose coupons do not corr
respond to the sticker on the car.
Gordon Morecroft, state ration
ing officer, advises motorists that
they should display only the high
est sticker. If a person has a c
card, there should be no sticker
other than c sticker displayed
on his car. Investigation has dis
closed that thousands of Florida
motorists are Internationally vio-
lating this regulation by covering
their windshields with A, B and c
stickers.

Northeast section of Florida
through curtailing of fleet truck
operations, H. E, Mcdaniel, dis

This action was prompted by the
critical shortage of gasoline on the

With all the talk about rationing;
the propaganda in the press, and
on the air in behalf of the Vested
Interests, has life become too COM
plicated for us? Or, as H. c..
Wells states in his latest article,
"We entertain altogether too high
ideals of our moral and intellectual
superiority to the rest of mankind"
IF all this is true, we can under
stand why the most powerful
lobby in Washington has bitterly
attacked the Malvern Manifesto,
the Beveridge Plan of security
from the cradle to the grave" the
Century of the Common Man, the
Four Freedoms, and the Atlantic
Charter. In fact, every practical
and technical plan as we'll as ideal
istic Christlike ideas for the bet
terment of the people r always
attacked in every country by the
same special interests. 1t is impos-
sible for is to square-up what
they profess to believe with what
they practice. The enemies of the
people are called Tories in some
lands, fascists in others; and in
this country they seem to be the
ruling group of the NAM. Not
al, however, are anti-social, anti
Christian or pro-fascist. The ma
jority of these economists cannot
see economic reasons for things
that happen under their own
noses.
Nevertheless there are books and
documentary reports on the eco
nomic motivation of fascism which
these economists could read in
their own college libraries if they
were not hired propagandists of
the NAM.
What will be the outcome of a
project that will be for the good
of one who wants to get to the
root of the problem? To think and
study in terms of what is the
truth" For a society in which
truth has ceased to exist is a So
ciety in the stage of rigor morris.
It is quite obvious that changes
physical result in changes spirit
ual, for all spirituality is founded
upon the material. The spirit

which impels us to action is more
important than the action itself.
If we see the need for a consistent
course we shall meet each contin-
gency as it arises in the proper
spirit. The true philosophy COM
pels us to face the facts painful
though they may be and even to

A Constructive Philosophy

History is the ritual which prescribes the wrong way to do every
thing. It is the record of mans mistakes. History is responsible for
the continuation of poverty, ignorance, superstition, and injustice. His
tory is important IS a warning, not as a textbook of what to do
The experience of each and every one of us ae worth more than all
the testimonials since ma learned to write.
Historians are sc imbued with the study of what has been, that
they find it difficult to adjust themselves to what is.

The Legislature
AS I See 1t
BY Rep. Chas. L. Halsted.

This week the governor presented
his budget message to the legislature
In most state departments there is an
increase over previous years. The
major exceptions are highways and
direct relief. The reduction of $751;
100000 in these two departments
more than offset the proclaimed re-
duction during the next biennum.
A startling report is the money
being spent for military and civilian
defense. Here are the figures: 1941-
$737 900; 1912 = 81 ,448, 500; 1913
$1,812,900; 1914 81, 1867 900. TIL e
question occurs to many of the men,
bers, rs this huge expense neces-
sary?"
The most important bill now before
the House is the governors war pow
ers bill H. F. 81. Without question
it is very dangerous bill. County
and city boards are liable for un-
limited expenses that may be in
CURED by county and local defense
councils. The governor also has
power to remove any city or village
officer if he wishes to. AS one sena-
tor remarked: What is the governor
trying to do, set up Huey Long
machine in minnesota"
More about this in my next letter.

Markets

Hog Receipts High.

Hog receipts here were exception
ally light, transportation problems
again being a factor. Price trends
on Monday were higher and Tues
days market was conducted on a
steady basis. Butcher hogs of all
weights are now 20 cents higher than
last Friday and sows scored an adj
vance of Is cents. Bulk of good
and choice barrows and gifts weigh
ing 160 pounds and up turned at
$14.60 and good sows of all weights
made $14.00. A few stays sold at
$14.60. Feeder pigs grading good
and choice realized $14.25, some
weighty kinds making $14.50.
The weeks early trading in the
sheep and lamb division was rather
spotted. A cross section of the mar
ket, however, on Tuesday presented
largely steady picture as compared
with late last week. The top on
Tuesday was $1,000 paid for deck
of choice fed natives while the bulk
for the two days of good and choice
offerings sold at $15.65 and $500
Choice ewes were Is cents higher
having reached $8.75 on Monday
and feeding lambs were strong
Strictly good and choice ~ to 70
pound white-faced range feeding
lambs sold at S14.60 while good 60
pound offerings brought $14.25.

Hope you will carry on and improve
on it. AS you know we who are
not quislings have no radio. Yet
there are plenty of what the Nazis
call illegal" papers around, telling
us your side of the story. That is
how we know. Several men have
already paid. with their lives for
listening in and making up the papers,
and the penalty for showing one to
somebody is couple Of years in Jail.
Our so-called illegal" papers are just
German papers in the Norwegian
language. Just think of it. Read

during long war. 1t takes nerves,
faith and patience. But 1 have got

Federal Income Tax
Credit for Dependents.

A taxpayer is entitled to a credit
for each person other than husband
or wife, whether related to him or
not, and whether living with him or
not, who during the taxable year was
dependent upon and received his chief
support from the taxpayer, provided
the dependent was either (a) under
18 years of age, or (b) incapable of
self-support because mentally or
physically defective.
The credit for dependents is based
upon actual financial dependency and
not mere legal dependency. 1t is not
necessary that the dependent be re-
, lated to the taxpayer, but the tax
payer must have provided more than
one-half of the support, or there is
no dependency.
The term mentally or physically
defective" includes not only those
who are mentally afflicted and phys
ically crippled, but also persons who,
by reason of old age or impaired
health, are incapable of self-support.
The state of mental or physical de-
feet need not be of permanent ma
ture, but if it existed for only a
portion of the year, then the credit
for dependent can be claimed only
for that portion of the year during
which the dependent was supported
by the taxpayer.
A person may not acquire credit
for dependent by reason of support
of a person qualifying as dependent
if, as a result of such support, he
acquires a head of family exemption,
but may acquire credit for depend
ent by reason of additional persons
qualifying as dependents, whom he
supports. Thus, if a person claims
head of family exemption on ac-
count of support of an aged mother
or father, incapable of self-support
or a child, he would not be entitled
to a credit for such dependent; but
if he supported more than one such
person he could claim credit for such
additional persons provided they were
under 18 years of age or incapable
| OF Self-SuppOrt.
Credit for dependents may not be
divided between two persons filing
separate returns, but must be taken
by the one contributing the chief
support. A credit for dependents
may be claimed by father who pro-
vides the support for his children
living with his divorced wife, if the
support is provided as result Of a
court decree or as the result of an
agreement between husband and wife
The credit for dependent, allowable
to taxpayer filing on Form 1040, is
$3.50, and is proportionate with the
number of months of dependency
Thus, for child born on July l, the
credit allowable would be SITS (for
six months), and if child became
18 years of age on July l the credit
allowable would be SITS. One-halt
month or less is not counted as a
month; more than one-half a month

keep up with them-dizzier still if
one makes an honest attempt to place
credence in the staggering Russian
tabulations of German dead.
Statistics, and their reliability
aside-there is enough to appreciate,
first of all that second great victory
of last week, the capture of the
Schluesselburg fort, the main defense
position of Leningrad, and used by
the Nazis for carrying on their siege
of that second-largest city of all
Russia.
The capture OF Schluesselburg,
In practice, meant that the siege
Of Leningrad has been raised, and
that, further, means that Hitler
has failed in three of his major
attempts to take three principal
Russian cities, that is, in adGii-
ton to Leningrad, Moscow and
Stalingrad.
There are reports to the effect that
the German authorities, forced by
necessity, have had to admit to their
own people that they have suffered
most severe reverses in Russia and
that they are due not, as last year,
to the harshness of the Russian Win
ter, but to the Russian superiority in
manpower and war machinery. A
most humiliating admission to have
to make-eh, Adolf?
In all sectors of the Russian front
the story is the same: Cities, towns
and villages with-on our tongue
unpronounceable names are wrested
from the Nazis, and the striking
thing about it is that the German
high command has not been able
to make announcement of even the
tiniest victory for many, many weeks.
1t Hitler slipping? Guess so!
Nazi Partners.
You remember that it created al
most a sensation when the world was
told that Hitler who despises and
hates and holds in utter contempt
everyone who is not a pure Nordic,
more specifically, pure Aryan, &C
tually had concluded an alliance with
the japanese who, whatever else
they may be, most certainly are
neither Nordic nor Aryans. There
has, however, to date been no actual
military cooperation between the
Germans and the japanese, there is
merely that intangible moral essence
known as friendship-an asset of
dubious value in time of war. But,
officially, Hitler and Emperor Hiro-
hito are allies, and as Hirohito has
initiated Hitler in winning victories,
so he initiates him now in accepting
defeats.
The third important United
Nations victory of the last few
days was the complete elimina-
ton of all japanese troops on
the Pacific island of New Guinea;

AT the same time, it was made

just popped into his head that
Granny would want to know how
he finally had fooled Bowser, and
what could he tell her? If he told
her the truth, that he had rushed
into Buster Bears bedchamber with
out knowing that it was Busters
bedchanfber, she would call him
careless and needless and say many
sharp things. But why not let her
believe that he had done it pur-
posely? Why not? He wouldn't
have to say that he had done so,
but he could tell about 1t in such
way that she would think that
he had purposely done this as a
smart trick to get rid of Rowser.
The more he thought it over the
better he liked the idea. It would
make him appear very smart. And
it would make him appear very
daring. Granny would think him
very brave and smart. Then, too,
he could boast about it to his neigh
tors. They would all look up to
him and admire him. He sat down
to think it over. When he started
on again he actually had begun to
believe 1t himself. Yes, sir, Reddy
Fox had actually made himself be-
gin to believe that he had known
all the time that Buster Bear was
there and had led Bowser the Hound
there as a smart trick to get rid of
him.
