and high standing in the newspaper
field, but there are few left who
know of the magnificent work he
did as an active member of the
War Industries Board during World
War I, where he helped in difficult
circumstances to guide the Nations

The Compensation Board, which
administers the injury compehsa-
ton law under the jurisdiction of
the Federal Security Agency. has
proposed that there be no ceiling
on benefits.
Coupled with the boards proposal
that injured Government employees
receive rs per cent OF their salary
in payments, if they have any de-
pendents, this would mean more
than 1925 month in payments to
those Government workers who had
been earning at least $500 month.
In this regard, the Lesinski and
Murray bills also would provide for
IS per cent computation of earn
ings, instead of the present 662s per
cent formula. These measures would
be more liberal in one regard than
the boards recommendation in
that they also would give the rs per
cent formula computation to en-
ployes with no dependents. The
board would give these employees
only 662a per cent of their sal
aries.
For other employees, however, the
Compensation Boards proposals
would be more generous. Depend
ents could be children, wives, hus-
band and parents for whom the en-
ploye had to provide.
In addition, the compensation
agencys proposals would provide for
more generous treatment of wi
dows and dependents of employees
killed on the job, as we'll as more
liberal benefits for employees who in
cur permanent disabilities.

JOB SCRAMBLE One of the
more amusing sights in town is the
mad scramble on the part of pa
ronage-hungry Democrats for some
OF the choicer Government jobs.
These jobs, all of them paying
$4,000 year, went begging before
the election, when practically nobody
thought President Truman would be
reelected.
| But how things have changed.
Competition for at least IS top
Federal positions is fierce. Adding
to the positions desirability is the
fact that the jobs soon may be
paying much more than $4,000 a
year. if Congress increases high
/ level salaries as expected.

sought-after jobs: Three depart

ZOA Members
attend Meeting

Five delegates represented the
Tucson ZOA chapter at the third
annual west coast regional con-
ference of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America held in Santa
Monica last month. Present were
DR.. Leon Bitter, Arthur Dunes,
Henry Kaufman, Sidney Weiss
berger and Mrs. Marcus Breger,
alternating for Rabbi Breger. 1t
was the first time Tucson had
representation at such confer
ence.
According to Henry Kaufman,
local chapter president, hi-light
of the conference was an address
by Consul Reuven Dafni who had
Just returned from Israel. He
stressed the huge progress that
has been made in the year he
had been absent. simultaneously
he warned against complacency
and lukewarmness saying the real
task for ZOA had just begun and
the new state is in real danger if
it is not backed and supported
by ZOA.
Julius Livingston of Tulsa, ma
tional ZOA vice-president, also
stressed this point in his address.
Rabbi Solomon Greenberg, acting
president of the Jewish Theologi-
cal Seminary of America, told his
listeners "ZOA, the movement of
the dreamer, must have a new
dream to work and live for"
Delegates were pleased to learn
that there is good possibility
that Tucson may receive the COW
eted District of the Year" award
for all-around membership COM
munity participation. Mr.. Kauf-
mann was informed that a de-
cision should be reached shortly
Louis Stein, regional ZOA di-
rector, declared: Tucson was
head and shoulders above any OF
the other chapters in the district"

the government mustered It's most
prominent figures to defend the
offer to the Arab states at Lau-
same to accept a specific number
of Arab refugees if the question
were settled within the frame
work of a general peace. Before
the session ended, the Knesset
members heard the Premier and
Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett
admit that its Arab refugee pro-
posal was made under pressure
from the United States.
Mr.. Ben Gurion insisted that
the governments latest proposal
was not a radical departure from
its policy, but was, in fact, merely
a continuation Of policy which
the responsible leaders of the
Jewish community had drafted
and followed for many years-be-
ginning in the period of the Brit
ish Mandate. This policy he out
lined as follows: firstly, the
achievement of security with the
organization of the Haganah; sec
ondly, the founding of the state;
and, thirdly, the achievement of
an Arab Israeli alliance.
Foreign Minister Sharett de-
clared that the government was
justified in its offer on the refu-
gees in order to lessen the pres
sure from the United States and
to restore friendly relations with
the us. Further initiative for
peace in the Middle East rests
with the countries which have ex-
erted pressure on Israel and
whose duty now is to divert this
pressure to the Arab states, Mr..
Sharett told the Knesset.
He said the governments ac-
ton was prompted by the fact
that this was timely opportuni-
ty" for a peace solution "even at
a price" He rejected the Suspi-
cions of the opposition parties
that the governments move was
an indication that it would give
way on other issues at the U.N.-
sponsored peace parley.

rankin D. Roosevelt outlined the way
to peace in the following words the day be-

Normal times are times when it takes
good farming and good management to
make a satisfactory profit. The man who
developed careless habits during the boom
times may have trouble getting himself
back into the proper groove during the years
that lie ahead.
Statistics of the social security board in
dictate that your chances of living until you
are IS years of age or older are better in
Montana than in most other states. Nine
percent of Montanans lave reached or

Acreage Allotments Are Increased

900 each, Kansas and Idaho 100, 900 each.
Before it was amended by the new legis-
lation, the formula for figuring allotments
as set up in the farm support law worked a
severe hardship on many growers in coun-
ties where total acreage was increased
sharply in recent years. Growers who had
made little or no increase in acreage were
penalized since their allotments were re-
duced because total county acreage had ex-
banded.
Growers practicing a $3.50 summer fall
low program also found themselves in a
less favorable position under the original
law. 1t is understood that the maximum re-
duction the $3.50 growers will nave to take
under the law as now amended is 8 percent.
For Montana as a whole, the original
allotment would nave meant a reduction of
23.5 percent from the 1949 planted acreage.
The new provision reduces the amount of
the cut to about IA percent and gives the
state an allotment somewhat larger than
average planted acreage in the five-year
period, 1943-47.

Court Approves Growers Refund Claim

until the supreme court rules otherwise.
If it does hold to this position individual
claimants would nave to bring suit to re-
cover such payments. Other test suits may
be filed and sooner or later the question
will no doubt come before the supreme
court for final decision.
The action of the St. Louis court, how
ever, indicates the possibility that other
stockgrowers may be able to secure refunds
on such federal income tax payments of
the past two or three years if they wish to
file suit. The courts decision maintained
that farmers are entitled to the benefits of
capital gains provisions of the federal law
on the same terms as industrial firms. To
be considered as capital assets for tax pur-
poses, livestock should lave been kept at
least six months as dairy, draft or breeding
stock, not primarily for sale in the normal
course of business.
To enter a claim for tax refund the pro-
Queer should file amended returns for each
of the past years. Under the statute of limi-
tations he right to claim a refund expires
three years from the date of filing the re-
turn, or three years from the due date of
the return, or two years from the date of
payment of the tax, whichever is the latest.
If the revenue bureau refused to approve
the amended return the taxpayer could
bring suit before the circuit court in this
district as Albright did in Minnesota.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-09-01
The Editors Page

MANY stockgrowers have contended
1y1 tina livestock used for breeding pur-
poses should be treated as long-term assets
on income tax returns. But the bureau of
internal revenue has held otherwise and
has insisted that income from the sale of
all livestock be handled as income from any
other source in determining the amount of
income tax due.
Now the St. Louis circuit court has held
in favor of R. w. Albright, a Minnesota
farmer, who reported profits from the sale
of dairy COWS, and sows that had raised one
litter each, as long-term gains from sales of
capital assets. Only one-half of such gains
are taxable.
When Albright's tax return was re-
viewed by the tax officials they demanded
that he pay taxes on the full amount of the
gains from the sales of the cows and sows,
contending that they constituted ordinary
income. He paid the additional tax demand
ed but sued to recover his money. The cir
cult courts decision in favor of Albright
was not appealed to the supreme court by
the government.
While the revenue bureau will be re-
not necessarily follow that the bureau will
grant other similar claims for refund. 1t may
continue to take the position that such in
come should be treated as ordinary income
