THE AMERICAN VA Y

very low interest rate of 2.5 per
cent.
For this bounty (?) On the part
of the Reds, Sukarno was very
grateful. He told the Russians
that 'Indonesians and Russians
are brothers," and he listed as
the enemies of peace Imperial
lists, Capitalists and Fascists."
This Russian loan to Indonesia
means that Russia now has its
foot in the door. Soviet techni-
clans will soon be swarming
there-prelude to the Reds TAX
over. Also Indonesia's payments
on the loan are to be strategic
war materials such as nickel,
bauxite. rubber, manganese, etc.
So Indonesia is grateful-to
Russia that is. But how about
America? Since World War II,
Indonesia has received in aid
from US the tidy sum Of $3302
million-that's 81 for every man,
woman and child in this country.
| This has been a gift on our part,
not loan. Indonesia links US
with the Fascists and Imperial
lists as ''enemieS of Feace." That's
| our reward When will we wake
up?

WHAT, ENGLAND TOO!

lhere IS some small gram OF
comfort to be cleaned from the
knowledge that England, too, is
confronted with a ''too-many-
government employees with =
too little to do" problem.
Misery does like company.
The Printed Word, a monthly
business magazine, published at
Toronto, Canada, had this anus
ing, but rather sad story to tell
IN its September issue:
Some months back this publ
cation noted the case Of & young
lady employed in a crown cor
poTation. She said that she really
had no more work than she could
do in ten minutes a day. Since
that time she has been given two
assistants. She now says she is
busy twenty minutes a day, of
which fifteen minutes are used
thinking up something for her
younger assistants to do.
This crown corporation did
have, while back, a man who
made a study Of redundancy, as
the British call it, and made some
recommendations for reduction
of staff. Following the presenta-
ton of his recommendations, he
was fired"
Well, back in 1776, we taught
the British that tyranny makes
for bad friends. Perhaps we can
extend that educational camp
aign bit, by setting them a good
example at this time. This can
be accomplished by adopting the
bulk of the recommendations
made by the Hoover Commission.
Congressional candidates, are
you listening?

Telephone returns are the first
to be sent by the IS county
Boards of Elections to the Secre-

actually the telephone unof-

mailed to the Secretary of State
following the nights compilation

agree with figures given hur-

Then comes the official can
vass by the Board of Elections,
following which the official
abstract is sent to the Secretary
of State. This, sometimes, takes
days but usually changes the
result of only the closest races.
From these abstracts the official
tabulation is made by the Secre-
tary of State and a certification
made, following canvass by
certain state officials.
In cases where recounts occur
in state races, the canvass can
not be made until these recount
results are available.
The Boards of Elections spent
many months preparing for an
election and it takes considerable
time before they have finally
completed the work connected
with an election. By then, it is
usually time to begin planning

Your Election Laws
Pulling Together

Ohio requires a certain pro-
cedure to be followed at the poll
ing place when you present your
self to vote. The law requires
you to announce your full name
and address to the precinct cleo
ton officials and in non-registra-
ton precincts upon the request
of the presiding Judge you shall
state the county, township and
precinct in which your residence
is located. In registration prec-
incts the official will then check
to see if your registration card
is On file. You shall then write
your name and address in the
proper place on the poll list ex-
cept that you are unable to
write your name and address on
the poll list, you may make your
mark at the place intended for
your name and present a proper
identification. The making of
your mark will be attested to by
a precinct official who will
evidence the same by signing
his name on the poll list as a
witness to your mark.
In registration precincts your
signature on the poll list will
then be compared with your
signature on your registration
card and if, in the opinion of the
majority of the precinct officials
the signatures are the same, the
Clerk shall enter the date of the
election on the registration card,
If paper ballots are being used
in that precinct, the Judge in
charge of the ballots will detach
a ballot from stub "B" leaving
stub "A' attached to the ballot
He will hand you the ballots and
call your name and stub number
A clerk then enters the stut
numbers opposite your signature
in the poll book. You shall ther
go to one of the voting compart-
ments and mark your ballot.

think that when the election
results are posted on the precinct

Since they were first brought
under the old-age and survivors
insurance program beginning in
1855, some self-employed Noble
county farmers have had an
optional method of figuring their
earnings for social security pur-
poses. This optional method,
however, was restricted to in
dividual farmers who reported
their income on a cash basis.
Under the 1856 amendments to
the law, this optional method of
figuring farm income has been
revised so that more low-income
farmers in Noble county can
build protection for themselves
and their families under social
security. 1t now applies not only
to individual farmers and ran
chers but also to members of
farm partnerships. Moreover,
farmers who figure their earn
ings on an accrual rather than a
cash basis can now use the
optional method.
This extension of the optional
method was made by Congress
in recognition of the fact that
members of farm partnerships
and accrual- l-basiS farmers are, in
the same way as other farmers,
subject to the risks that are
, peculiar to farming in general
risks that make farm income
subject to sharp fluctuations and
often result in years of low in
| come or actual net loss. Extend
ing this Optional method of fig
uring farm income to farm part
| ners and accrual- basis farmers
gives them the same opportunity
as other farmers to keep up
their protection under old-age
and survivors insurance during
bad years.
For taxable years ending on
or after December 81, 1856, a
self-employed farmer whose
gross income from agricultural
| self-employment is not more
than $1,000, may use for social
security purposes either his act
ual net or 2i3 of his gross farm
income. If his gross farm income
is more than $1,000 in a year but
his net farm earnings are less
than $1,000, he may use either
| his net or $1,000. If his gross
farm income is more than $1,000,
and his net farm earnings are
$1,000 or more, he must use the
amount of his actual net farm
earnings.
The revised law contains other
| provisions which serve to clear
up uncertainties about farm self
employment in relation to the
social security law. For instance,
the definition of a share-farmer
or share cropper as a self-em-
ployed farmer, and the status
of a crew leader or "row boss
as the employer Of farm workers
or the employee of the farmer
for whom he supplies seasonal
farm help. l shall describe these
provisions in the new law in my
next article.

1856 Retailing Problems

Retailing is faced with unusual

Jack A. Serber, service manager
of The Hecht Co., said yeSter-
day.
In an address delivered yes
terday afternoon at the 35th an

Association at Philadelphia, Mr..
Serber declared:
Retailing is faced with unique
problems i'll this year of 1856.
We are caught between the pres
Sures of the increased minimum
wage and other factors tending
TO increase labor costs, and a
relatively stable price structure
coupled with increasing compe-
tition which tends to reduce our
gross margins.
AT the same time there is an
apparent shift Of consumer pur-
chasing from the hard lines.
which have been booming in the
past several years. TO soft goods.
These factors place before US
a challenging problem We must
find the ways and means to alb
sorb increased costs, TO work
within the range of a contracting
gross margin and to process in
creasing quantities Of merchan-
disc
