Defense-ASainst Initiation

Total E and H Savings bonds outstanding
at the end of February amounted to S42,6l3,
100000. This is huge sum, but it still rep
resents only slightly larger total than the
federal budget for the coming year
There is no direct connection between
u. S. Savings Bond and the defense budget
because the latter is financed out of current
tax receipts. But there is an important in
direct connection. If the dollars that peo-
pie are investing in Savings Bonds were
spent in the market place, they would con-
tribute to initiation and thus increase the cost
of our defense program.
The Treasury Department currently is
stepping up its efforts to sell Savings Bonds.
The current level of redemptions and the
current level of sales indicate that the public
has not yet become fully ware of the advan-
tages of buying and holding Savings Bonds
at the new 3a4 per cent interest rate that be-
came effective last summer.
While much has been made Of the greater
earnings opportunities elsewhere, the fact
is that the Savings Bonds now pay more than
212 percent interest for the first year and a
half and 4 percent thereafter. These rates
compare favorably with those earned else
where, and, of course, there is nothing spec
uative about investing in Savings Bonds.
The increase in interest rates to 3a4 per
cent was the third in the history Of the

Last weeks statement in the Herald,
advising the public that situation has arisen
which threatens to close the schools of the
county, startled most of us from complacency.
We were told that six mill additional tax
levy will be placed on the May 3rd primary
ballots to meet the emergency. Unless fav-
orable action is taken on this submission,
there will be insufficient funds to continue
operations and our schools will be discontin
ued, it was stated.
''Heads of the county school administra
ton are authority for the dim outlook of
which the above is the gist. 1t is fair to as
sumo that, from an inside viewpoint, they
know what they are talking about
''We believe it is advisable to give the
people a more complete picture of the dire
threat which faces us. The school admin
strative authorities should lay their cards on
the table, with a complete financial picture
which forms the basis of the request Such
statement should include receipts for school
purposes, both those arising from county
taxes and the amount received in state aid.
The funds reasonably anticipated for next
years operating receipts and expenses should
be given and comparison made with those
presently available for the current school
year. Taking into consideration the increase
in real estate values, ensuing from the recent

we saw:
The channel carried the
rapids around a sharp turn
about $50 feet, just as the
prof" had tol d us. But
there was no quiet little lake
or any sand beach at the
left. At the end of the
rapids the water rolled over
the falls, with a sheer drop
of almost 100 feet to the rocks
below. Once in the current
of those rapids, no power on
earth could have saved us or
prevented the other two ca
noes from sharing our fate.

we had turned to shore.

It is a more desperate fear
because it is rus tr a e d.
Many of us see disaster at
the end of the rapids in our
national life. We see the

Series Savings Bond program. The first
Series E bonds returned 90 percent when
held to their full 10-year maturity. In May
1852, the rate was increased to 8 percent by
shortening the life of the bond to nine years
and eight months. In February 1857, the
rate was raised to ga percent by decreasing
the life of the bond to eight years and II
months. And on June l, 1852 the rate went
to 3A percent for bonds held to their matur-
ity of seven years and nine months.
At the same time interest rate of all
outstanding Savings Bonds was increased a
minimum of Y of l percent When put into
effect these new rates marked the first time
in the history of the Savings Bond program
that outstanding bonds received automatic
interest rate increases. The action was
taken, of course, to meet the competition
offered by higher yields from other securi-
ties
A Savings Bond salesman who works
among farmers recently said that sales are
holding up remarkably we'll in farming areas.
Farmers remember only too well what hap
pened to them in the depression, he said, and
they want to have savings backlog for
protection in event of any repetition of that
kind of an economic disaster. From the
Treasury's point of view, the public can help
the country avoid the disaster of initiation by
investing in Savings Bonds.

We see collectivism, gov

We see educators, mini

bureaucrats in government,

destruction.
But we are complacent,
Indifferent and even con-

The few voices raised to

I AM AFRAID
By DIR. Alfred p. Haake

Almost 80 years ago this
writer experienced the most
intense and important fear
of his lifetime. Seven of us
had gone on a fishing and
camping trip into Western
Ontario in Canada-without
any guide because one of the
party had made the trip be-
fore and knew his way.
We Veled in three
canoes, taking turns in lead
ing the file of travel. One
day my partner and I were
leading down a beautiful
lake toward a place called
"Steep-Rock Falls" Our ex-
perienced professor" had
explained that at the end of
this lake the rocky ridge sur
rounding the lake opened for
a narrow channel through
which fast-flowing rapids
turned into another lake be-
low, with a beautiful sand
beach at the left, and the
falls dropping at the end of
the little lake a quarter
mile beyond the beach. He

Will Sorghum Grass
ever revert" to
Johnson Gross?

Persistent rumors to this
effect - all unverified after
nationwide checks by our ag-
economists - led New MeXi-
co Seed Farms to ask the
nations foremost authority on
sorghum plants about this
possibility. Here is the para
graph in his letter that an
swers this question:
"PurpOrt e d reversiOns of
Sorghum Almum, or similar
types such as perennial Sweet
Sudan, to Johnson Grass (SOr-
ghum Halepensis) have no
basis in fact and are either
idle gossip or unintelligent
reports by uniformed agen-
cies or persons deserving no
credence. Sorghum A l m m
and similar grass sorghum
types have been grown by
ranchmen and farmers a num-
ber of years now and at pres
ent there is undoubtedly up
wards of 100000 acres planted
and growing in Texas and
other states and so far as l
know none has had any trouble
In eradicating or controlling
it and experienced growers
have little or no concern in
this regard" D = warmer

Income Tax Hints
for
Noble Counfions

~ WIN ~S0Bu - -
Do you have to file declara-
ton of estimated tax for 1860?
You do if:
(1) The gross income for the
taxable year can reasonably be
expected to consist of wages and
of not more than $10O from
sources other than such wages,
and can reasonably be expected
to exceed
(A) $4,000, in the case of
single individual other than a
head of household or a surviv-
ing spouse or, in the case of
married individual not entitled
to file a joint declaration with
his spouse;
(B) $4,000, in the case of
head of a household or a surviv-
ing spouse;
CO. $4,000, in the case of
married Individual entitled to
file joint declaration with his
spouse, and the aggregate gross
income Of such individual and
his spouse for the taxable year
can reasonably be expected to
exceed $4,000; or
(2) The gross income can rea-
sonably be expected to include
more than $100 from sources
other than wages and can reason
! ably be expected to exceed the
sum Of
(A) the amount obtained by
multiplying $500 by the number
exemptions to which he is en-
. titled plus
OBJ $400.
Suppose you are married and
have one child for whom you can
claim an exemption, then you
would figure like so:
3 exemptions a 5000
each --- ST, 800. 90
Specific exclusion - S 10000
| $4,000
! So you would be required to
file a declaration if your income
could be expected to exceed
! $4,000 and would include over
| $lO0 from sources other than
wages.
| The declaration may be a joint
one with your spouse or sep
arate filing. Any tax paid on a
separate declaration may be used
to pay the tax due on a joint final
| return; likewise any tax paid on
a joint declaration may be used
to pay the tax due on separate
final returns.
| Declarations of estimated tax
are made on form 1040ES. These
forms are available at your local
office of the Internal Revenue
| Service.
Your estimate and one quarter
of the tax is due on April is,
1860. Payments are due on June
18th and September 18th, 1860
and January Is, 1861.
Do you have a big tax bill tC
pay this year, in addition to what
your employer had already with
held from your 1859 paychecks?
If you did, then consider max
ing a written agreement with
your employer to have a greater
amount withheld from your 1860
paychecks so that you will no
have a big bill to pay in 1861.
Withholding, at the regular
rates, only covers the tax on youl
income from salary or wages ant
is inadequate if you have large
salary or earnings from sources
not subject to withholding.
The law provides that you car
agree with your employer to have
him take more than the regular
:, rate of withholding out of YOU
:, paycheck so that you will have
your taxes fully paid at the enc
, of the year.
Your employer must be willing
. and you and your employer mus
,, make an agreement, in writing
in such form as your employee
may require, to have your EN-
ployer take a stated extra amour
of withholding from your wages
Your employer handles this jus
exactly the same way as othe
withholding and you also handl
your reporting of this extra with
l holding on your tax return tn
same as any other withholding
