INCOME TAX RETURNS

There is only one thing harder Oh
the American people than figuring
out their income tax returns-that
more important matter Is paying the
heavy taxes. But tremendous taxa
ton is here and the amounts that
they will have to pay in future years
will not be less than the present year.
In facing the facts everyone Is con-
WINGED that taxes will go higher.
The confusing form of the income
tax returns will be simplified-ln
response to the nationwide clamof
that the blanks should make more
horse-sense. The returns were made
to conform with the chart laid down
by the United States Treasury, and
accepted by the House Ways and
Means Committee. There is no abb
for the Treasury Department and the
the attempt of the Administration
to lay the blame on Congress didn't
go over wit thhe public. Simplified
forms of returns are promised, and
as a matter of fact the next set OF
blanks will likely be understandable
to persons with average intelligence

GAME AREAS TO BENEFIT FROM
POSTWAR PROJECTS

The State Game and Inland Fish
Commission has projected program
for the postwar era that will add i'm
mensely to the utility of four of the
State-owned Wild Life Demonstra-
ton Areas, Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor made known following re-
port from e. Lee LeCompte, State
Game Warden.
In addition, the Governor announ-
ced that the State Game Department
is planning the development of game
refugees on State-owned forests in CO.
operation with the State Department
of Forests and Parks, as we'll as con-
struction of new water supply at
the Gwynnbrook State Game Farm,
and the erection of new State fish
hatchery to supplement the existing
one AT Lewistown, Frederick County
The total cost of all the projects
submitted will be $51, 900, he said
and will afford $500 work-days tC
help the employment situation in the
conversion period.
The Demonstration Areas affected
according to the Governors an.
nouncement, were the Wellington
area at Princess Anne, Somerset Co.;
the Idylwild area at fredericksburg
Carroll County; the Wilmington area
Kent County and the Girdletree area
in Worcester county. All these pro
perties were purchased in conform
ance with the Pittman-Robertson Act
under which the Federal Govern
ment paid 1870 of the purchase
price and the State $50.
The development of the wild life
Restoration Areas on the game ref
uges in State-owned forests, to b.
done in cooperation with the Depart
ment of State Forests and Parks, will
cover a 3-year program at a cost o
$1,000 a year. the Governor added.

HOUSEWIVES TO GET SAME
SUGAR ALLOTMENT THIS YEAR

Housewives will get just about as
much sugar this year as last and
there is no prospect sugar will go off
the ration list by the years end.
Military needs have increased.
More sugar has to be diverted to
making Industrial alcohol for syn
thetic rubber But the total sugar
supply in 1914 will be about the
same as in 1913.
All this adds up to less sugar for
the American home front as whole.
But housewives are not expected to
feel the pinch.
The government is making up the
shortage by cutting down on some
industrial users, like makers of ice
cream.
Shipping is still prime bottle
neck
That is the main reason why sugar
is likely to stay rationed through
1914 unless there is great-and
fairly quick-improvem in our
military fortunes, like the surrender
of Germany.
SHIPS are noeueu 10 lake MILITARY
supplies abroad as the European war
! moves toward climax. That means
fewer ships for bringing sugar into
this country, which imports much of
it's supply.
The War Food Administration,
! which allocates our sugar, has based
| its calculations for the year on ar
rangements it has worked out with
the military authorities-th number
| of ships it can count on in 1914 for
bringing sugar from places like Peur-
| to Rico, Cuba, Hawaii.
Therefore, although more sugar
might be obtained If more ships were
available, VIA is counting on a to-
tai of 6,529,O9S tons obtained at
home and abroad. This is about as
much sugar as we handled in 1913.
/ In 1s4s, however, 100000 tons
were turned over to the home front.
This year it will be 5,074,906.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS in
FEBRUARY

Governor O'Conor expressed much
pleasure in releasing the traffic ac-
cident figures for the month of Feb
rldary, 1944-due to the outstanding
reduction shown in fatalities. The
State, as a whole. experienced only
20 deaths-Baltimore City reported
I and the counties 10. This was the
lowest number of fatalities for any
one month in the records of the Acct
dent Bureau, which go back to June,
1885. Besides the 20 deaths, there
were 1,O16 traffic accidents reported
in the State with All persons injur-
ed. Six hundred and sixty of these
accidents occurred in Baltimore City
with 2S4 persons injured, while $50
accidents with 1877 injured occurred
in the Counties.
The thirteen county fatalities were
divided among seven counties: Prince
Georges s; Baltimore and Cecil Q;
and Charles, Montgomery, Wicomico
and Worcester 1 each. OF the thir-
teen county fatalities occurred in
cities or towns-Salisbury, Takoma
Park Elkton, and Essex reporting l
each, leaving only nine fatalities oc-
curing on the open highways, which
is another outstanding record in the
annals of the Accident Bureau. The
years total for fatalities is now 49
as compared to SO for the same per-
iod last year-a reduction of 1913
per cent.
The remarkable record of only 20
deaths for the entire State is very
gratifying, but, out of the 20 deaths
for the month of February, 1914, II
were pedestrians, of $50, which
proves that the pedestrian is still oul
problem child" and until he can be
taught to obey rules that are made
for his protection he will continue
to be our problem child"
Governor O'Conor and the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission ap
peal to all motorists and pedestrian
of Maryland, especially the pedestri
ans, to contribute in the States al
out home front effort toward winning
the war by helping to keep accidents
down to a minimum. REMEMBER

the result would be achieved in part

"the undertaking is so vast thai
there must be joint effort in which
