January Makes Record

January did herself proud in the
manner of an "old fashioned winter, y
as the weather reports show it to
have made record for snow, sleet,
ice and low temperatures.
Thermometers recorded zero, and
below, in this section last week, and
the mercury moved up and down in
the teens day after day during the
month. On Wednesday of this week,
the last day of the month, the ther-
mometer recorded ten deg e S .
Walks, streets and roads are cover
ed with snow and ice and travel con-
ditions are worse than bad, with no
early relief in sight. On top of this
ccomes fuel shortage to add to wor-
ries Rather bright picture!

State Income Tax
Situation Still Bad

On January 6 we notified you of
the increase in State Income Tax on
earnings. On January IL we sent you
word that the Governor intended to
increase the tax on earned and in
vested income 33 1870. On January
Is we reminded you of effective
means of protesting and on January
10 we told you that the Governor
notified us before he submitted his
Budget to TIE General Assembly that
he would cut the State Real Estate
Tax cent, and would not recon-
mend the 33 80 increase in State
Income Tax.
But we subsequently learned that
while the Governor did not recon-
mend the 33 1870 increase for 1916
income, he did advise it for 1916.
We do not infer that the Governors
message was intentionally mislead-
ing. We may have misunderstood his
Secretary. At any rate, when tie bull
etin OF January 10 was sent you, we
understood that the proposed 33 3
per cent increase in the tax had been
abandoned On publication of the
Governors budget, it appears thai
his is true for only one year. At the
moment, the State Income Tax prob
EN- stands thus:
Tax per 81, OO0-Income earned in
1943-$10; 1944-45-$13.33; 1916
$40.
Tax per 1,OOO-Invested income
received in 1943-44 45- $33.33;
l946-$50.
The reduction in Real Estate Tax
from IL tot / l cents, while appreciat-
I'd, amounts to approximately $685.
300 in savings; TIE increase in earn
d income tax is estimated to cost
axpayers we'll over $1,000,00O.
That is the situation today. 1t can
re remedied by the General Assem-
.ly or by the Governor, who can
make further recommendations III
ehalf of fair play in taxation.

 That comes straight from one of the Nays veteran pilots, Comdr. William R. (Killer) Kane, head of naval aviation physical and mili- tary training.

 Kane. a star in high school at San Rafael, Calf, and three sports man at Annapolis, was fight ing in the Pacific long before he know that the navy had set up 8 physical training program. ! After the Japs struck at Pearl lHarbor where Kane was officer of the day Dec. T, 1941-the need of athletics as a morale builder be- Ioame far more apparent. Recrea- Ltional areas were constructed ev- terywhere. Everybody played in some kind of game.
 Kane went to Guadalcanal in 1922 The value of athletics again came home to him. Malaria jaundice, dengue and dysentery had to be fought as hard as the Japs and the fellows who stayed in physical trim by working out regu- larly were the ones who shook off tEe diseases.
 As combat followed combat, Kane realized that his athletic training had carry-over Values of which he seldom before had been conscious H. felt that football was the finest training of all for the com bat man that it gave him a reserve of stamina and fighting in- stinct.

 Topping the Northern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference race nicely, with four straight wins, when they left for their Oregon jaunt, the Huskies are back in town and back to work with four straight losses balancing the ledger. An old Northern Division saying has 1t that any team losing more than four games never wins the title. On that same basis, how ever, only Idaho is out of the race SC far.
