threshold of its greatest advance-

of the state, to recognize our op-
l~rtunities and work in unison for
their fulfillment so that the state
Can become one of the greatest in

MARCH 15!
A red letter day, this March 15!
Circle it on your calendar, scrib-
ble it in your datebook!
On WednesdaY, Mar~h 15, comes
the last hour on which the federal
income tax can be paid without a
stiff penalty which will put that
red letter day really in the red.
Already the income tax blanks
are displaying a hint of that red
color scheme in the little pink
slips which accompany the blanks.
The slips inform you that the task
of making an accounting of your
income has been simplified this
;ear.
Tkis simplification, however, takes
-oughly 20,000 more words to ex-
plain than formerly. If the income-
tax blanks keep getting simpler
we'll have to have daylight saving
time on a nationwide round-the-
year basis to give us time to master
the simplified versions. During re-
cent weeks in countless thousands
of hones, frazzled fathers have had
to miss movies they wanted to see,
and engagements they wanted to
keep, while they toiled doggedly
at the complex mysteries of the
income tax blanks until the deep
hmLr of midnight tolled.
But there is a sunnier side. A
Chicago columnist has glimpsed it.
It is his opinion that "the income
tax is a sort of supplementary
WPA, affording employment to
"many thousands of bookkeepers,
auditors, advisers, and common or
garden corner-cutters." Seems rea-
sonable. The more complex the
simplifications become, the more
printing and paper needed, and the
more work for stenographers, clerks
and experts, thereby giving a whirl
to America's productive forces and
an upward thrust to emplo~unent.
Be that as it may, don't forget
March 15--that red letter day!

THE RED CROSS CANVASS
This is the month for generoUs
contributions to the Red Cross war
fund. This campaign seeks to
raise $200,000,000 for the American
Red Cross for its absolutely neces-
sary services. The Red Cross ac-
complishes wonders for~ our men of
the armed forces wherever bhey
go, and for their families at home.
It collects blood plasma for the
woLmded, it ships food parcels to
prisoners of war, it recruits army
angi navy nurses who care for the
wounded and sick, and thUs it saves
countless lives. It operates over-
seas clubs and recreation centers
that put new hope and ,heart into
our men who are undergoing such
suffering and distress for their
country.
The Red Cross brings a helping
hand to families of servicemen who
need its ministrations. It provides
relief in the disasters that so often
afflict the country. Its educational
services help people to maintain
their health. This noble enterprise
touches our lives so intimately and
at so many points, that it is neces-
sary to give it the most generous
support that we can afford.

TOMORROW IS TODAY
CONTINUED
The future isn't so uncertain as
we sometimes think. The events
of tomorrow are largely determined
by those of today. If one doesn't
send his ship out he has no reason
to wait for it to come in. If he
fails to sow he needn't expect to
reap, and if he sows tares he can
not hope to reap a harvest of
wheat. Things do not just happen.
They are caused. The law of
cause and effect is irrevocable and
inexorable.
The war in which we are now
engaged didn't just come about.
It is the result of cumulative events
of the past that could have been
prevented, and to the observer it
could not have been a surprise.
There is much speculation as to
what will be the conditions follow-
ing the war. Most of the guess can
be taken out of it if we will give
consideration to the things we are
doing now~to our relations with
i the people abroad and the conduct
i of our affairs at home. In a very
large measure postwar affairs are
being determined now every day.
Better than trying to make con-
jectures as to the future is to shape
;he events at present that will
determine the future.
SOLDIERS WILL VOTE
Nobody seems to obi~c~ to the
so-called "soldiers vote". Congress

has been working on plans for theI °Nature provided harbors for
government to. conduct the eiec-/ships, but inland "harbors" for
llmns while at the same time the ]airplanes can be built by man.
lcdelal plans has been o~posed on,Conservative authorities have esti-
mated that the airports of this
nation will have to handle three
and four times the present amount
of air traffic immediately after the
war.
Not only will airports become es-
sential to a community's business
life, but they will help provide jobs
for many men now in ~he Air
Forces who wilt return after the
war with a desire to continue in,
the calling they know best. I
Airport planning is not something !
that can be done overnight. It re-i
quires months, sometimes years oft
study, not only in determining the
best possible location for a flying
'field, but in acquiring the land,
arranging financing, improving
roads, expanding public utility
services, and myriad other details.
Progressive communities are pre-
paring now to receive the miracle
of air commerce which will begin
to spread over the world when the
war ends. It will keep them httmp-
il~g to be ready for that day.

NOTHING ELSE IS
IMPORTANT NOW
Domestic issues are claiming too
much official attention at this
time and also too much public in-
I terest. A man can't repair his
leaky roof or broken steps while his
house is on fire. His task is to
save the house.
It is true that there are many
ida/acts in our governmental setup
that need to be corrected but the
government is under enemy attack
i and the big job now is to save it.
l We are allowing domestic issues to
overshadow the winning of the war,
which is the all-important thing
and if neglected all is lost.
After all most of the issues now
diverting the attention from the
war are not so important. They
are being magnified by politicians
as most issues are. Soon most of
them will be forgotten giving place
~o new ones.
not, meeting conditions as they
come uninfluenced by demagogues
and selfish issues-makers. This
virile nation has survived fires,
floods and wars before there was
a New Deal. It will do so under
the New Deal and when the New
Deal becomes history. The contro-
versies that are now diverting at-
tention from the war will prove
when a perspective comes Co be
little more than froth on the
surface.
Let us first save the house and
then give attention to ~he needed
repairs.

HITTING THE JAPS
American forces are showing
their tremendous striking power in
the attack they have started on
the Marshall Islands in the Pacific
ecean. The 3aps have had many
years in which to build fortifica-
tions on those islands. They have
no doubt thought those strong posi-
tions were impregnable, and they
could laugh at the too smar~
Americans who would try in vain
to smash those mighty defenses.
Ti~c great American warships
with their guns tha~ speak like
thunder have been pounding those
mighty defenses. In due time they
will give way. The Japs are smart,
but not smart enough to beat the
science of America, and the courage

the grounds that this is a questionI
of "state rights". Congress tells I

proper administrative establish- I
meats to handle the ballots andI
the states reply cryptically: "you'ren

There doesn't seem to be any
effort to "grab" th~ soldmrs vote.1
Most people ~hink it "can'~ bel
grabbed."
As a matter of fact soldiers rot..
ing can be handled either way,
and before the parties t6 the row
get rid of the details it is likely
to be proved that the right way
is the agreeable way, through which
details of preparing the ballots in
:the states and turning the mail
~over to the federal government
i might be the right answer. The
i Army and Navy can handle the
!freight, and the excuse that there
iwon't be enough paper for the
ballots is a very poor alibi.
A clean job must be done from
start to finish--that means no
political party or faction will per-i
~form the oft-repeated "miracle" of
"controlling the vote." In the
opinion of this writer it would be!
absolutely impossible for the Demo- i
crats. Republicans or any one else
to get away with such schemes.
EVERY TO'~rN A HARBOR
For centuries, commerce has fol-
lowed the seaways and the water-
ways of the world. Hitler's gran-
t diose scheme for world conquest
had as one of its objectives, the
capture of Suez, water gateway to
the fabulous ports of the East. The
banks of the Don and the Dneiper
have been bloody battlefields be-
cause these rivers carry supplies to
the army that controls them, even
as they once brought food and
ores and manufactured articles to
a people at peace. Stalingrad and
Kiex are important Russian cities
because they are ports for river
traffic, as St. Louis and New Or-
leans are important cities in this
country. Boston and New York,
and Seattle ax, d san Francisco also
became important because of their
fine harbors. But now the pioture
is changing as a new means of
transportation surges boldly to the
fore. In the dawning Age of
Flight, business centers will bloom
about airports just as surely as
they once sprang up around the
quay sides.
We had a real old-time church
supper the other night. Bert
Childers played the fiddle, and
the ladies brought refresh-
ments. Of course, we missed the
boys who were away-but all in
all it was mighty pleasant.

Ginnis. "t;hueks," says l)oc, "we

working overtime to help the

war. We've got our worries and
troubles. It's a mighty good
thing we can relax with a Iittie
wholesome enjoyment.
And I believe it's what the
men over there would have us
do... keep up the little friendly
customs they remember-like
the evening get-togethers, hav-
ing a glass of beer with friends,
and all the little pleasures they
look forward to enjoying.
