The Treasury Department anticipates so much
trouble will with the March Is collection of
income that it has asked Congress for funds to
set up an additional 2,5O0-nan office in New York
for the purpose of trying straghten out the mess
when the trouble begins
On March Is the taxpayer must make out a return,

Is June Is, September Is or December IS of 1913
His employer will have reported to the Treasury
how much was withheld and his local collector will
have records showing how much he, himself paid
The big job will be in sorting and checking the
reports that into the Treasury Department from
all different districts, and that is the main reason
for the request for the New York office.
At the same time, the Treasury Department
estimates that it will receive 100000 returns come
March l5 as compared with 100000 filed for 1912,
it is also noted that the request for the checking
is not based entirely upon the complications

HIGH-COST ALUMINIUM

OF all the Hobbies operating in
Washington, most effective are
those which operate from right in
side the Cabinet or the Democratic
National Committee.
The Aluminium Corporation of
America seems to be benefitting
from such a lobby now For several
years it has received kindly treat
ment from Uncle Jesse Jones. Also
it has had its chief Washington
counsel, able Oscar Ewing, sitting
on the Democratic National Com
mittee as e-chairman.
Anyway, just last week Alcoa re-
ceived another nice favor.
Last summer this column exposed
the fact that Jesse Jones had given
a secret contract to Alcoa to build
an aluminium plant at Shipshaw
Canada, which would not cost AL
Goa a cent, but would be paid for
out of aluminium purchases by the
u. S. Government.
This column predicted that after
building this giant plant in Can
ada, Alcoa would close down Amer

HULL REMNISCEs

Cordell Hull received an unex-
pected caller the other day, u S.
District Judge "Jefty" O'Connor OF
California. former Comptroller of
the Currency and the man who
really pioneered the Federal De-
post Insurance system after the big
bank smash-up in 1882
Hull had known Jefty when lefty
was one of the few Democrats in
North Dakota. They had fought
many progressive battles together
usually on the losing side. Recall
ing them, the Secretary of State
unused:
Some day when the war is over
and l can retire from all this, you
and l must sit down together and
look back over the mistakes we
have made and the things we could
have done better
Judge O'Connor flew back to Los
Angeles thinking that after faith,
hope and charity, humility comes
next.

lean plants, throwing U. S. workmen
out of employment, but would con-
tinue operating in Canada.
Last week that was exactly what
happened.
Four aluminium pot lines were
closed down in Burlington, N. j.,
and Queens, N. Y, with 20 more
to be closed down soon. U. S. plants
sell the government aluminium at
Is cents pound, while we have
been paying 81 cents for Alcoa S
Canadian aluminium from Ship
shaw This still continues.
Inside fact is that We are now
overproduced on aluminium by about
600, 600. 900 pounds per year. Ship
shaw's shipment to the United
States in 1914 is scheduled at just
about this amount = 100000, 900
pounds. Yet it is continuing-de-
spite its higher price.
Officially the reason for continu-
ing Shipshaw aluminium is that the
factory uses electricity, while east
ern U. S. aluminium plants burn
coal. However, there may be much
more potent reason.
Jesse Jones loaned Canadian Al
Goa $68 100000 and signed on an
unusual contract whereby Alcoa was
not obligated to pay the balance

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
batt do not compel"
SATURDAY, JANUARY is

SAL OhDA1, 0ANOAR ~
Mixed planetary aspects are ac-
tive today; projects should be COM
pleted rather than begun.
HEART AND HOME: Astrologers
remind Americans that they are
optimistic by nature and may be
too confident of an early peace. The
stars assure final victory but the
portents are read as presaging ex-
tended conflict. Surprises. how
ever. have marked each step in
the second World War
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The AM
erican tendency toward waste and
extravaganza will be altered by
postwar lessons in economy. AS
high wages drop there will be de-
mand for low-priced comforts and
luxuries Manufacturers are plan
ming to meet the coming pocket
book deflation with novel gadgets
for the home.
NATIONAL ISSUES: According
to astrology, suggestions that our
war generals are the best material
for Presidential material are I'M
wise 1t has been foretold that the
Roosevelt regime will be extended
through a fourth term. Governor
Thomas E. Dewey continues under
promising influences. even though
he may ignore them.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
The elimination of education in
the occupied countries of Europe is
one of the great casualties of the
world war The seers point out
that many of the leading scholars
Of the Continent are now, FORUM
ately. in the United States. 1t is
indicated that part OF our task will
be to aid in the establishment of
schools and colleges.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of year OF strange
events, many of them favorable
Changes will be fairly lucky.
Children born on this day should
be original and independent Many
will have artistic talents and most
Of them should reach success.

NON-FIGHTING SAILOR

Frank Knox, Secretary of the
Navy, IS a great talker about eff
ficient use OF manpower But it
LOOKS as II he was an even greater
believer in avoiding public critic
ism.
For months now he has stationed
one of the Nays astute officers
with nothing to do except keep an
eye on the highly critical Truman
Committee. The officer is Captain
John Kennedy, former ace WASH
ington newsman, and owner of
chain of radio stations.
Kennedy was once a star WASH
ington operator for Hearst, won the
Puglsey award for top Capitol
news-sleuthing, now owns two
broadcasting chains in Ohio and
West Virginia.
However, the Navy keeps him oc-
cupied playing golf with Senator
Ferguson of Michigan, member of
the Truman Committee; flying to
Alaska with Senators Truman and
kilgore; and running back and
forth between the Navy and the
Senate trying to paint a favorable
side to Truman Committee ques-
tons.
Kennedy, an able man, does an
Al job But most people seem to
think that Navy manpower was re-
cruited to fight, rather than to
cushion criticism.
Knox, however, is an expert at
criticism cushioning He also keeps
the son OF Congressman John Tolan
of California busy doing odd jobs
on Capitol Hill, and advising the
Navy about how 10 rub Congress

Hayden Urges
POSTWAR
Planning Programs

PHOENIX, July 6-Sen. Carl Hay
den has urged cities and other po-
litical b-divisions in Arizona to
be prepared for the end of the war
with adequate postwar planning
programs.
Senator Hayden is a member of
the Senate Special Committee on
Post War Economic Policy and
Planning. He desires to see that
Arizona is properly cared for in the
final program now being perfected
by that committee.
In urging the final compilation of
data for planned public works in
Arizona, Senator Hayden warned of
the probability that the primary
post war period may find private
industry not entirely prepared to
assimilate the thousands of return
ing war veterans.
I'm Arizona we must be ready
with jobs for them Arizona towns
and cities and counties must be
prepared with exact data on what
is needed in the way of public i'm
provements. Procrastination at this
time is disservice to those who are
fighting for u.s." said the senator.
Senator Hayden said that much
of his committees work was con-
cerned with the opportunities offer
ed private industry in the develop
ment of the western states. He ex-
pressed a belief the future would
find Arizona an industrial center
for the fabrication of minerals,
timber, fiber and leather.
