INCOME-TAX
DECLARATIONS
MUST BE- FILED

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) W ork-
ers are urged by the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue to fill out the Declara-
tion of Estimated Income and Victory
Tax for 1914 as soon as they receive
the blank from their local collector of
internal revenue. The declaration is
due on or before April Is, and one
fourth of the estimated tax shown to
be due must be paid at the same time
Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commission
er of Internal Revenue, estimates that
about 100000 Americans are re-
quired to file the declaration. All resi-
dents must file who have an income
subject to withholding of more than
$2,700 if single, or more than $4,000
Individually or together) if married,
and those who have an income, indi-
vidually or together, of $1O0 or more
from sources other than wages sub
ject to withholding and total income
of $500 or more for single persons, or
more than 1924 for married persons,
or 81 200 or more for married couple
living together
The bureau calls attention to the
simple work sheet with brief and
easy-to-follow instructions which is
mailed with the declaration form. In
cluded also is a more elaborate work
sheet, in case the taxpayer wishes to
make very precise estimate. Most
taxpayers will find the simplified
sheet sufficiently accurate for their
purposes, and it can be filled out in a
relatively short time.

500 Radio Telegraphers
Urgently Needed For
Merchant Marine Service

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The
American merchant marine needs at
least 500 first and second class COM
mercial radio telegraphers who are
licensed by the Federal Communica-
tions Commission within the next 3
months, the War Shipping Admins
tration announces.
Men who possess these qualifica-
tions should wire, collect, at once to
U. S. Merchant Marine, Washington,
D. C. Qualified men can also apply in
person or by letter to any U. S. En-
ployment Service office, or any port
office of Recruitment and Manning
Organization, War Shipping Admin
istration.
AS soon as qualified man regis
ters he will be placed on active pay
status.
All qualified registrants must at
tend a Navy school on wartime pro-
cedure, which will require from to
3 weeks. Registrants will be paid
while attending school.
War Shipping Administration Off
cials said qualified radio operators
are urgently needed because most
vessel will henceforth carry civilian
licensed operators instead of one.

THE MEANS ARE AT HAND

The means are at hand to defeat
the filibuster which will led against
the anti-poll tax bill, HR 7. They can
be used-and used successfully-if
supporters of the bill stand up and
fight for it's passage.
Democratic Senator Alben Barkley
of Kentucky (where labor has a re-
quisite number of votes to-elect or to
defeat him next November), as ma
jority leader of the Senate, has the
power to start from the first day of
the flibuster holding the Senate in
session 16 hours day, making the
filibusterers talk until they're ex-
hausted.
Republican Senators (notably Sen
ator Taft of Ohio and Senator Van
denberg of Michigan, both states
where labor voters play key role in
election) have said again and again
that they favor anti-poll tax legisla-
ton. They know that if they join with
liberal Democrats in voting for clo-
ture to close debate, HR can pass
the Senate in three days.
Yet when the bill was last in the
Senate, and was then filibustered to
death, Senator Barkley ran the Sen
ate only hours a day and later both
Democratic and Republican friends of
the bill consented to a "gentlemen's
agreement" to drop the bill if first
vote for cloture rule to close debate
and end the filibuster failed.
There is no reason why Senators
who favor HR should let themselves
be bullied by the filibusterers. With
the American people united behind
them, they can demand the bill be
called up without further dangerous
delay; they can keep the bill on the
floor of the Senate until it is passed
and reject any agreement to drop it;
they can refuse to make deals with
the filibusterers; they can make them
talk 16 hours day every day; they
can vote for cloture rule to close de-
bate. Any they can pass the bill

CREAT BRITAIN realizes that
VI the war will end some day, and
plans are in the making for the post
war era. Even while working 100 per
cent of the population on war ma
terials, some Britishers are preparing
for what comes next.
Gerald Barry, editor of the London
News Chronicle, says housing will be
an urgent problem in postwar
Britain" Says there will be need for
100000 new houses when millions of
men in sevrice and war workers now
living in hostels and billets away from
home get back to normal life.
Il am quite sure" he says, chat
supplying houses in the decade after
the war cannot be left to unrestricted
private enterprise alone" And he
points out that experience has proved
this ''has left us with sprawling cities,
poor quality houses, and the uneco-
nomic and unsightly use of land"

enterprise, either" he continues.
Probably it will be the familiar
British compromise. Some semi-public
national corporations will be set up,
and certainly municipal authorities
will have big hand in the scheme. +"
Barry advocates national master
plan for proper economic use of land
and to avoid waste of either land, ma
terial, or time of people.
"Where people live and where they
work." he says, should be planned in
relation to one another People should
not have to waste time, money and
health travelling unnecessarily long
distances day by day in uncomfortable
conditions to and from work. That is

EVER HEAR OF THE GEsTAPO?

Sidney Hillman's refusal to submit
the books of the CIO Political Action
Committee to the congressional in
quisitorial committee headed by Mar
tin Dies deserves the commentator
of every right thinking American.
Hillman says it is time the misuse of
authority by Dies committee is chal-
lenged.
No one will question the right of a
government agency to investigate ir-
regularities which appear to be vio-
lations of federal laws. The Dies com
mittee is authorized by Congress to
investigate unamerican activities and
has spent many thousands of dollars
doing it.
There is, however, nothing unamer-
lean about voluntary organization
of workers for the advancement OF
political interests. 1t represents moth

waste This sort of planning will have
to be done before the housing problem
can really be efficiently tackled"
He also points out that agricultural
possibilities must be surveyed and
preserved Recreational areas must
be protected from encroachments of
industry and housing
Britain" he adds, ''is very beau
tiful country, but some of it's finest
natural beauty, both along the coasts
and inland, has already been spoiled
by unrestricted private enterprise in
building"
Private enterprise, it seems, is no
different in England than in America
Here we now have a campaign, with
a strong lobby in Washington, de-
manding that slum clearance and
postwar housing be left entirely in
the hands of this same private enter
prise.
Everything barry has SAID about
private enterprise in England is mir
rored here in America. His description
of "sprawling" British towns can be
applied to our own cities and towns
There is no reason to be surprised at
this, because private enterprise must
show profit. Building II houses on
10 lots means 10 percent more profit.
1t is up to the people themselves
to assert themselves and to see that
private enterprise has the assistance
of men and women who have some
thing other than profit in the back of
their minds; people who can see into
the future far enough to realize that
better homes mean better citizens;
that better citizens mean a better ma
ton.

of their right of citizenship. Every
citizen has that right, individually OF
in concert with other citizens.
Indeed, it could well be considered
subversive for congressional COM
mittee to question the right of citi-
