WEST HOLDS CURRENT
POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT

For the moment the 1914 political pot
is doing much of its boiling out in the
west from Nebraska to the Pacific. Wis
consin and Minnesota make the bid for
active scenes in the midwest.
Vice President Wallace is finishing up
a coastal tour of speech-making and
inspection of war plants. He is telling
the people what they want and what they
will get and how they will get it, which
appears to be quite chore. In the
meantime back in Washington the senate,
of which he is the presiding officer, is
wrestling with the soldiers vote meas
ure; has wiggled through the new tax
measure and is looking for new worlds to
conquer. IN Minnesota comes word that
1t Cmdr. Stassen'S name has been enter
ed in the primaries as Republican candi-
date for the presidency. He is former
governor of the state.
Wendell L. Wllkie is beating the hus-
tings in the inter-mountain area to tell
the folks what he thinks about all and
sundry questions. He has announced his
intention to enter the Nebraska and Wis
eonsin primaries for the Republican NOM
ination for president. He admits he is
testing out his popularity on the trip
which will take him through Utah, Idaho
and Montana. Although quite distance
away, he is keeping weather eye on
doings in Illinois where he may decide
to enter the primaries.
Whether Wallace's visit to the coast,
where he has spoken at Los Angeles and
San Francisco, had anything to do with
it or not, California Democrats suddenly
cut loose and named an all-out Roose-
welt delegation to the national conven-
ton. Attorney General Kinney rather
heads the list, it seems. Anyway he is
making himself spokesman for the move
ment in which he declares all is harmony
and unity.
Wallace is to finish off his saga-trip
at Seattle with the announced topic of
how the people will get what they want.
incidentally James A. Farley, former
postmaster general and democratic ma
tional chairman is on the coast, but strict
ly on business. Here and there on his
trip he has borne testimony to the death
of the new deal, but he is not talking
politics much otherwise. He did not ac-
company the vice president.
And so the boys all seem to be hav-
ing quite a time.

RECIPE FOR SIMPLER TAXES

Was your neighbor's face a mixture of
bewilderment vexation and incredulty
as he started out to work this morning?
Perhaps he had been making out his
income-taX return last night.
Possibly some gem like line of Sched-

The FORGIVEN portion of the tax
is either $50 or three-fOurths of the
SMALLER of the 1912 tax Cline A.,

Remember the explanation about the

lower because it was higher, while the
lower was higher because it was not so
high?
Well, the 1943 tax blank and set of
Instructions are just full of charming
little passages like that; charming un-
less you have to figure out what they
mean, in which case they become baf-
fling, if not eXaSperating. And the very
simple income is an ineXcusable drain on
the time of a war-busy people.

tic and accounting jargon. In all fair
ness, it needs be said that this is not
primarily the fault of bureaucracy. The
Treasury Department has its share of the
blame, but the only authority that can
make a fundamental reform in the situa
tion is Congress.
1t is up to Congress to make such SIM

and the earnedincOme credit, and to get
down to single, direct-income tax. If
members of Congress had to go to their
home districts and act for ten days as
deputy internal revenue collectors trying
to help their constituents make out these
complex returns, can there be any doubt
that they would go back and shake three
fourths of the complications out of the
system?

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
(The Honolulu Advertiser)

To man up tree there's something
screwy about the latest ukase of Wash
ington officialdom procaiming that all
poultry must be killed off to save the
cargo space now used for incoming ship
ments Of chicken feed.
The War Food Administration, U. S.
Department of Agriculture and other
governmental agencies have begged and
almost commanded every home owner to
stock his premises with fowls, ducks and
rabbits, to help out the meat supply.
This has met the hearty support of
the experiment stations, extension SER
vice, All boys clubs, community and vic
tory garden committees and host of
other agencies intent on greater food pro-
duction at home.
To save cubic yard of cargo space
needed for munitions is highly commend
able, but let's be realistic about it. Every
body in Hawaii is sold on the idea that
it is our patriotic duty to aid the war
effort by growing our own foodstuffs
to the limit of our capacity. That means
more poultry, rabbits, pigs, and meat and
dairy cattle.
