signed to simplify the annual chore
of making income tax returns by
millions of taxpayers.

The streamlined measure elim-
mates the formal filing of returns
of low income taxpayers and also

WASHINGTON, May 81. - FIRE.
quently, the States show the Fed
eral government the way.
There has been a lot of fussing
and Tuning lately about what
should be done to take care of the
boys in the armed services when
they come back from the wars.
North Dakota decided to try to find
out. The Greater North Dakota
Association undertook the job.
Sen. Gerald p Nye has recently
brought back from his State the
preliminary reports on that under
taking. AS State enterprise the
methods used and the results OBJ
tanned are fascinating.
North Dakota, being primarily a
farm State, keyed its QUESTIONABLE
in that direction. Through the G..
NJ. d. A., it went into every one of
the States SO counties and already
has received more or less complete
reports from AZ of them. What
they did was to contact more than
5000 North Dakota service men. No
effort was made to do it directly, but
answers were obtained through the
families of these men.
Exactly 5,053 of those reporting
were on the farms when they were
called to the armed services. But
the number expressing desire to
take up farming when they come
home is 5,523, OF the first number
only l,575 we're working their own
farms when they went into service,
and only 676 actually owned the
land they were working; but 1898

2,130 would be willing to rent or
work on shares.
To me the most enlightening fig
ure in the report was that the aver
age resources per man Gin either
cash, bonds or real estate) amount
ed to $l,050. That means that on
the average, there won't be one of
them coming back who couldnt
make down payment on farm
or perhaps buy car outright. It's
phase of immediate postwar
spending (which coupled with de-
mobilization pay would be consid-
erable) that I haven't seen dis
cussed by either industrialists or the
Federal and State lawmakers.
If the boys in other States COM
pare with the average In North
Dakota, that means well over IL
billion dollars in the armed forces
savings backlog alone at present
and good deal more than that
when rehabilitation starts
If similar surveys in other States
bear out the trends established by
the G. N. d. A. (of course the
trends would be entirely different in
industrial States, but savings, de-
sires and so forth might establish
similar averages) really intelligent
legislation might be drawn to fit in
with what G. I. Joe really wants in
a postwar world.
North Dakota already has acted
ON its survey. 1t has passed a law
