1313i?! - . SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL Consolidated with The Shelton Independent Published every Friday morning Member of Washington Newspaper Publishers’ Association and National Editorial Association. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Shelton, Washington GRANT C. ANGLE, Editor J. EBER ANGLE, Manager Subscription Rates: $2.50 per year in advance; 6 months $1.50; outside Mason County $2.75; Canada and Foreign $3.50; Special Service Men's Rate $1.50 per INCOME TAXES MLST BE PAID up their returns with the hope, perhaps, that they may b relieved of their 1942 taxes. but this is a false hope and they should get busy as usual. on their last year’s report and send them in with at least a quarter of their due before March 15th. There is before Congress the Ruml plan of not ‘,‘for- giving” but “forgetting” the 1942 returns for the present, or someother plan which may delay for a year that taxes already due in favor of direct taxes on income of this year, but this will serve only to pile up a debt to Uncle Sam which must be paid in full in due time. Nor is there any excaping the truth that taxes will be almost confiscatory from now on, and the people must get into the habit of setting aside at least a quarter of their earnings, or pay one out of four; and perhaps more citizens will be taking.interest on the wastes of time and money going on all around them in the war effort and the fact that they may share in this waste will be little con- solation when payday comes. year. Many income taxpayers are holding back on making THE MUDDLING ON RUBBER There was a hope with the appointment of Jeffers as Rubber Director that something tangible might soon come out of the muddle on this particular subject beyond the confiscation of the surplus rubber of civilians along with their cars, but although a year has passed in wasted effort and wrangling there is still no new rubber in sight or much reprocessed rubber available. Apparently there are several sources for synthetic rubber, including gasoline, oils, vegetable plants and alco- hol, the latter product which might be put to the more useful purpose of making rubber, but some hidden influ- ences seem to be holding up actual factory building, witr the suspicion that big influences are working behind thC scenes to preserve their hold on the rubber industry fol- lowing the war. The delays, refusal to act, and jockeying on rubber as well as many other delayed actions within the administra- tion, are coming out in many directions, more or less to the disgust of the American people who crave real action on rubber, gasoline fuels, foods, etc., rather than mass regulation. Russia, Germany and now even Canada, are producing synthetic rubber while the United States has not yet produced a pound after a whole year. i l T RATIONING WOOD IN WOOD COUNTRY The rationing of imported fuels, such as oils and gaso- line, can be understood in real emergency, but the needl for including wood and coal which are normally abundant at the source in this state and only await getting out and to the consumer, hardly seems justified. Both of these home fuels are generally laid in at the homes in the summer season, or should be, except for more recent comers and those with limited means; and last summer the people were warned of a possible emergency and urged to provide for wood use in case of oil shortage. As for wood, this a timbered country and the only question has been shortage of wood cutters and transpor- tation, but with most men making such good wages there is little inclination for workmen to hunt out wood lots and do their own cutting in the long summer days. Now there is talk of rationing wood as well as all other fuels, and with winter only half gone there is only limited supplv of such fuel on hand, even for those who have changed from oil; and by summer we may be cold! enough to heed the lesson and go out and rustle wood forl next winter which may be worse for us. _ With the urge of the powers-that-be to ration every- I thing whether the supply is abundant or not, we may face further orders not to stock up in summer for next winterI as the provident usually do, and the house owner may be forced to dig up the saw and the axe and cut for himself; surely they can’t ration the overtime. i The allies are putting theAxis on the run on every front, and the out look is becoming more encouraging, but we cannnot escape the truth that much of our young bloodI is being spilled on foreign field far from home, and thel end is not in sight. With each passing day comes the proof I that this is not to be a short and easy war, that every: step gained costs its blood, and that every day and hour, wasted by any man or woman at their jobs will cost added ' blood as long as the end of the war is delayed; and thatI some of that blood will be charged to those who are notl doing their best. Thus our sins may come home to plague us. ' NO END OF WAR IS IN SIGHT WHAT LIES BEYOND THE SUNSET? Occasions linked with the history of the Pacific North- West are certain to be recalled throughout this centennial year of the Old Oregon Trail, first traversed by the pion- eers a century ago in 1843. On this particular day of that year, January 25, debate I was held in the Senate of the United States on the question I of building a transcontinental railroad to the Oregon coun— try, then much in the limelight. In the midst of that dis— cussion, one Senator McDuffie, of South Carolina, ex- claimed: ' “What do we want with this territory? Does any mani seriously suppose that any state which can be formed at the mouth of the Columbia or any of the inhabitable parts Of that territory, could ever become one of the states of the Union? A“The talk about constructing a railroad to the west-I ern shore of this continent,” the learned senator continued,I “manifests a Wild spirit of adventure which I never ex- ppcped to hear broached in the Senate of the United S a es.” ' Had. Senator McDuffie lived into our time, he must‘ have learned to accept developments in the Senateof the1 United States with less astonishment. He would havel learned much else also. Not one, but several railroads span} the continent, as well as highways, and four great telephone ! cables, the last of, which lies underground. Not only one! but two great states lie atthe mouth of the Columbia. V I The nation will be reminded of this latter fact thru~I out this centennial. And thereb the McDuffies of the pres- ent day, both in and out of ongress, may be reminded.’ too, that it is unwise to be too certain about what lies at the end of the new trails either into the unknown West or' the unseen leIUl‘C,——Taconia Neme-fibunec — l , ' SHELTQN-MASQNV CppNTY JOURNAD .2» iiilllliilllNALlY TENS GAME WiTi-i Registration (Continued from Page One) whose age is; stated as 14 years or older on War Ration Book 1. .
