Lansing—Can it be true that thepeople of Michigan are endangeredby war?

The state legislature this weekis holding another emergency spe-cial session.

Approximately 500,000 Michiganmen registered this week for pos-sible military duty.

And yet newspaper headlinescontinue to record events whichseemingly contradict evidence thatwe are at war -and must raakegreat sacrifices.

First, consider the definition of"endangered." We assume whenMichigan lives are lost, when Mich-igan young men are put in jeopardyof death, sufficient proof exists thisis a serious affair: Our two-oceanwar of 1942. It is true Michigancities have not been bombed. Noenemy air fleet has attacked SaultSte.; Marie, our Michigan PanamaCanal, for vital iron ore. ButMichigan young men are dyingjust the same. What are theyfighting- to defend?

* * *Does a feeling of complacency

exist among Michigan citizensabout the outcome of the war?

Here is a question that cannot beanswered categorically. We canonly surmise an answer.

It can be observed truthfully, webelieve, that we Americans take forgranted that we are going to winthe war ultimately. Our vauntedsuperiority in industrial arms, plusour tremendous manpower, surelyshould be sufficient to insure vic-tory. We Americans have neverlost a war. To lose a war is al-most an impossibility as any onewho remembers his history bookscan tell you. It just can't happen—or can it?

* * :'£

Is Michigan lagging in civiliandefense preparations ?

Here again is a question ex-tremely difficult to 'answer in oneword. It depends upon each citi-zen's definition of "lagging" in pro-

E. Benjamin Foss, intangibletax supervisor, has made arrange-ments to come to Cass City onTuesday, February 24, to consultwith taxpayers relative to theirintangible tax liabilities.. He maybe seen at the Pinney State Bankby anyone who is interested.

Mr. Foss calls attention to thefollowing provisions of the intan-gible tax law:

Amendments to the intangibletax law will affect an estimated20,000 more people this year thanlast. Deadline for filing 1941 re-turns is March 31.» Some 40,000 returns were filedin 1941, the first year's operationof the statute; total collectionswere slightly over $3,000,000. Two-thirds of net collections are re-turned to cities, villages and town-ships on a population basis; one-third to the state's general fund.

While the number' of returnswill increase, total revenue isn'tlikely to, for 1941 legislativeamendments will cut individual taxbills. This potential loss of revenue

will be partially offset by increasedefficiency gained through one year'sadministrative -experience in check-ing returns and other recordsavailable to the state.

Every Michigan resident whosebank deposits, plus investments inbuilding and loan savings and loanassociations, exceeded $3,000 atany time during 1941, must file areturn whether a tax is due or not,with the newly created departmentof Revenue. During 1941, this taxwas collected by the state tax com-mission.

Last year's tax credit of $7 wasincreased to $10 by the 1941 Legis-lature which cuts §3 from the taxof everyone who filed in 1941.

The intangible tax on depositsin (or shares of) Michigan buildingand loan and savings and loanassociations was virtually eliminat-ed by 1941 amendments. Of 81such associations in Michigan in1941, deposits in (or shares of) 59were made tax exempt; the taxableportion of deposits in or shares of

Back in 1921, one could call an electric bill a"light bill" with some degree of accuracy. Mosthomes in those days used electricity chiefly forlighting. But today a "light bill" covers a mul-titude of home appliances!

Today your "light bill" might represent theservices of dozens of electrical household aids:electric refrigeration, washing, ironing, vacuumcleaning, radio, toaster, percolator, food mixer,clocks, electric shaver. In many homes it alsoincludes electric cooking, dishwashing, furnacefan or oil burner, attic fan, kitchen fan, heatingpad, sewing machine, teakettle, waffle iron,sunlamp, bathroom heater, etc. — as many asfifty electrical servants.

Tomorrow's uses of electricity are boundedonly by the limits of man's ingenuity. Mean-while we are devoting all our efforts to furnish-ing better electric service at lower cost. Theaverage price per kilowatthour paid by ouraverage residence customer today is 46 per centless than in 1921.

Thousands of improvements, big and little, developedover a period of years, have made it possible toreduce our residence rate voluntarily five limes inthe last 20 years. By thinking up new' and betterways of doing things-af lower cost, and passing thesesavings on to the customer, we have benefited boththe customer and ourselves. This is the way of prog-ress.

j thereof during which failure to file1 a return continues, not to exceed25 per cent in the aggregate.

A taxpayer who files a tardyreturn and wishes to avoid the ad-dition to the tax for delinquencymust make an affirmative showingof all facts, alleged as a reasonablecause for failure to file the returnon time, in the form of an affidavitwhich should be attached to thereturn. Alleged ignorance of thelaw does not constitute reasonablecause for delinquency.

CHALLENGE TO HOME-TOWN MERCHANTS.

The greatest shortage in theAmerican economic system is rub-ber. As a result drastic changesin the. American mode of living-will probably be necessary. Mostof Europe has gone back to the"horse and buggy days," exceptthere are few horses and no bug-gies. The automobile for civilianuse is almost non-existent.

In America the automobilegreatly changed our living. Ithelped make cities bigger and smalltowns smaller, because peoplethought nothing of going 50 to 100miles to shop. As automobile useis restricted, the small towns willbecome more important.

What does this mean to you, Mr.Small Town or Rural BusinessMan?

Doesn't it suggest that the smalltown is about to have a rebirth asa trading center, and in this changeisn't there opportunity 'with a capi-tal "0?" For these people "whohave thought nothing of going 50to 100 miles to shop" are going tothink more about the wear andtear on their automobile tires. Theyare going to begin to think moreabout their shopping hearer home.

But do not think, Mr. Merchant,that people are going to<>be forcedto trade with you because you arelocated where you are. It is notgoing to be as easy as that to getback the trade that has been goingaway.

The merchants in the cities aren'tgoing to surrender that trade with-out a fight. They are going tobring their advertising messageinto your community and they aregoing to use every method they can—including perhaps the develop-ment of mail order business—tohold on to that trade.

So you, Mr. Home Merchant, hadbetter be stirring yourself rightnow before they get the jump onyou..

Preaching the doctrine of "tradeat home" isn't enough. Urgingpeople to support "home enter-prise" isn't enough. You have gotto show them why trading at homemeans money in their pockets.That they can buy as good qualityat home as elsewhere.

This car and tire crisis offers anopportunity for showing them.What are you going to do about it ?And when?

The Chronicle which covers thecommunity here can help youreach the people, no matter whereyour store is located in this section.You will always find us willing andready to work for you as yoursalesman.

WRITING TO THE SOLDIERS.The people are told to write often

to their soldier friends. The fel-lows at the camps are likely tohave lonely hours, when they missthe home scenes and the fellowsthey nieet at the corner store, andthe girls with whom they danceand ride. A letter or two coming1

in every day will help.The letters should tell them how

they are missed, and give them allthe news and jokes and fun of thelife at home.

It is well to remember the sol-dier boy's pay does not go far, andhe should be expected to pay verylittle when he comes home on thecost of good times.

Pop says he has gone as far onthe home vegetable question as todecide what he won't plant.

According to the girls, the mostalarming shortage is not the lackof tires, but the scarcity of dates.

Slept in Car, JustifiedThe girls have the law on their

side even if their husbands do notfollow them to the street. An officerin Long Island city, returning to hisradio car after time out for coffee,found a woman mailing herself athome. He demanded that she getout, and when she refused he de-clared her under arrest and droveher to the station house. Her storywas that she had ouarreled with herhusband, walked out on him, andsince it was 4 a. m., had taken shel-ter where she found it. The magis-trate said that any woman so cir-cumstanced was justified in takingpossession of a squad car.

whether they are to have any property they can call theirown; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged anddestroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretched-ness from which no human effort will deliver them. Thefate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on thecourage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelent-ing enemy leaves us, only the choice of a brave resistance,or the most abject submission. We have therefore to resolveto conquer or to die.

AMENDMENTS TO

INTANGIBLE TAX LAW

Continued from page one,the remaining 22 associationsranges from two per cent to 35per.cent.

Building and loan and savingsand loan associations are nowclassed, for purposes of intangibletax computation, with general busi-ness corporations, the stock ofwhich is taxable to the extent thatits property is located outside ofMichigan.

From the total of bank depositsplus taxable deposits in buildingand loan and savings and loan as-sociations, a $3,000 exemption maybe taken, on a proportionate basis.

Building and loan and savingsand loan associations benefitteddoubly from 1941 amendments.Last year, the $3,000 exemptionapplied only to deposits in banks.This exemption cannot, however, bededucted from cash on hand, wheth-er in a safety deposit box or else-where. Nor from postal savingsaccounts. Both such deposits aretaxable without exemption, the lat-ter by a 1941 clarifying amend-ment.

i Mortgages, land contracts, ac-counts receivable and many otherkinds1 of intangible property arealso taxable. Where there is in-come from intangible property, therate is 6 per cent of that income,but not less than $1 a $1,000 normore than $3 a $1,000 of the face,par or contributed value. Wherethere is no income, the tax is afiat $1 a $1,000 of face, par or con-tributed value.

Bank stock is taxable by a per-centage which varies with eachbank.

The taxable portion of the stockof some 2,000 corporations, to-gether with the par, or contributedvalue of such stock, is listed in abook now available at banks, trustcompanies, intangible tax branchoffices, and many other places inMichigan.

Annually a date is set for thepreceding year, which may be usedby business firms to obtain averageva»ucs GJ. ini/angiijleSj sucn as i/siuiaccounts, the value of whichchanges during the year. For 1941,the "average" date is October 31.

Little Remembered Inci-dent Stirred Up Modern

Turn of Events.

If in the present World war, Amer-ican relations with France appearedstrained at times, history was onlyrepeating itself. For in July, 1798,George Washington, who had thenbeen in retirement at Mount Ver-non and had but another year tolive, accepted appointment fromPresident John Adams, commanderin chief of the American army in athreatened war with France. Hewas 68 years old and he stipulatedexemption from active service savein the case of actual hostilities. Al-exander Hamilton was named sec-ond in command for immediate pur-poses.

Until the past year, little has beenwritten about this chapter in French-United States relations. But warthere was between the two nations.It was an undeclared war, and thefighting was confined to naval en-gagements. It was at this period,in fact, that the American navy wasborn. The department of the navywas created with Benjamin Stod-dard as the first secretary of thenavy, on June 18, 1798. The Ameri-can seamen proved their mettle, ef-fectively drove French raiders fromAmerican sea lanes, and when Na-poleon came in as head of the Di-rectory a peace was effected.

The trouble started when the Jaytreaty was neogtiated between GreatBritain and the United States in1796. France claimed a permanentalliance with the United States sndregarded the Jay treaty as an un-friendly act. It was probably thisattitude by France which led Wash-ington in his Farewell Address towarn the American people: "It isour true policy to steer clear of.PERMANENT alliances with anyportion of the foreign world." ButWashington was at pains . at thevery same time to add: "Takingcare always to keep ourselves bysuitable establishments on a respect-able defensive posture, we may safe-ly trust to TEMPORARY alliancesfor EXTRAORDINARY emergen-cies."

Washington had led his country-men in a successful revolutionagainst Britain. LaFayette, thegreat French democrat, aided himin no small way. LaFayette's helpwas sincere. But Washington knewthat the aid given by Louis XVI,who was later beheaded for un-democratic rule, was merely for ex-pediency. Washington therefore wasneither a Franco-phile nor an Anglo-phobe. The Jay treaty was conclud-ed under his direction and itsmoothed many points commerciallyand otherwise between England andthis country. France had passedits terroristic years of the Revolu-tion and was now governed by aDirectorate. Soon French ships be-gan fearful raiding of American ves-sels, confiscating them, and impris-oning sea men. It was at this pointthat an American commission, seek-ing a diplomatic understanding, wasasked to pay a secret "loan" ofsome millions to the Directorate. Itwas nothing more than a bribe pro-posal. The "appeasement" was flat-ly rejected and one of the commis-sioners, C. C. Pinckney, is creditedwith saying: "Millions for defense,not one cent for tribute." John Mar-shall, later chief justice of the U. S.Supreme court, was another of thecommissioners, and their report ofthe "X.Y.Z." affair, as the incidentwas called, stirred up the nation toa high pitch of excitement.

Like Cincinnatus of old, Washing-ton was ready to leave the peaceand quiet he had sought after 45years of public service. Fortunatelythe "war" blew over. But once againWashington proved that he was"first in peace, first in war, and firstin the hearts of his countrymen."

Hay for SowsAids Pig Crop

Pigs for pork assume some of theimportance that "pigs" for steelrate in the struggle for dominancein the present war emergency.Which leads to a recommendationthat Michigan farmers feed someof their brightest and highestquality alfalfa hay to prospectivesow mothers.

Home-grown alfalfa hay of ex-cellent qu'ality makes an ideal sup-plement to grain for sows betweenbreeding and farrowing time, saysV. A. Freeman of the animal hus-bandry staff at Michigan StateCollege.

Experiments at the college indi-cate that from one-fourth to one-third of the sow's ration can bealfalfa. With corn or corn andoats the hay lowers the cost ofwintering sows and permits the useof home-grown feed.

Normally the sows will pick outenough hay from a rack wherefresh supplies are placed every twoor three days. But if hay is highpriced it may pay to grind 'the hay.

For gilts about to produce theirfirst litter of pigs; the hay grind-ing is considered essential. Asmuch as one-third of the, rationcan be hay but this must be fed ina way that will include enoughgrain ration to keep the gilts grow-ing well and in good condition.The trick is to mix the ground haywith the grain.

Sows with six or more pigs canhardly be overfed, says Freeman.But hay still can be a part of thefeed, giving as much as five toeight per cent hay to provide vita-mins until pasture is available.

The time to economize and usemaximum hay is before farrowingtime, after that the sow must eatmore grain to provide plenty ofmilk for her litter, according toProfessor Freeman.

Sleeping Before MidnightIt is a good thing to get sleep be-

When people .goto, bed before midnight they usuallyget more hours of sleep than if theyretired later, and the benefit comesfrom getting more sleep, not neces-sarily better sleep.

Navy Revea!s Damage toSenate Again Acts on PriceLaGuardia Quits, Landis <

(EDITOR'S NOTE—When opinions are expressed in these columns, theyare those of the news analyst and not necesssr'ly of this newspaper.)

.(Released by Western Newspaper tnlon.).

RAID:

After two weeks of censorship thePacific fleet command allowed newsmen to disclose the amount of dam-age inflicted by the U. S. navy frtheir spectacular attack on the Jap-anese Marshall and Gilbert islands.

These reports indicated that withthe loss of only 11 U. S. aircraft,plus a minor bomb hit on one cruis-er, and with a small loss of life unitsof the American fleet accomplished•Hie following:

Destroyed four military air bases.Destroyed two military villages.Destroyed four radio stations.Sank at least 16 Jap ships, includ-

ing a modern cruiser, two subma-rines and a 17,000-ton liner.

Damaged at least eight other Jap

In addition to an undeterminednumber destroyed on the ground,the Japs lost 38 aircraft, includingfighters and bombers.

D&cribed as almost perfect tim-ing and executed with speed anddaring the raid was the first big an-swer to the often asked question,"Where is the fleet?"

CONSUMERS: ' "Face Living Costs

It was apparent that the pricecontrol bill, which had prevented in-flation of certain farm prices, wasgoing to be subject to changes-thatmight bring a big rise in the cost ofsome items.

The senate agriculture committeehad unanimously approved a bill

CLAUDE" B. WICKAKDMaking use of surpluses . . .

which sought to prevent Secretaryof Agriculture Wickard from usingsurpluses to keep certain pricesdown.

Passage of this bill had been pre-dicted, and it would prevent Wick-ard from taking action with sur-pluses unless the price of wheat, cot-ton and Corn had reached 10 percent above parity.

It had been the President's planto hold these prices down to encour-age livestock production. The billsought to prevent this action.

Result of ProtestThe resignation of LaGuardia as

head of OCD and the succession tothe high command of civilian de-fense of James M. Landis, one-time dean of Harvard law school andformer head of the Securities andExchange commission, had closelyfollowed nation-wide criticism of"boondoggling" in the organization.

Focal point of the objections tothe OCD management had beenrather centered on the division head-ed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt thanon LaGuardia's civilian defense ac-tivities, but the resignation of the"Little Flower" had long been ex-pected.

LaGuardia was supposed to haveplenty to do organizing the defenseof New York city, let alone saddlinghimself with the problems of an en-tire nation.

He announced that he would de-vote his full time to these problemsin the future.

Criticism, as Landis took chargeof OCD, continued chiefly leveled atthe health, entertainment and socialuplift activities of the organization.It had crystallized into the adoptionby the house of an amendment spe-cifically forbidding the spending ofgovernment funds for "fan-dancing,street shows, theatrical prformancesor other public entertainment in theprogram of civilian defense."

MISCELLANY:

Washington: All silk processorswere ordered within 43 hours to selltheir entire stocks of silk to thegovernment, on penalty of havingthem commandeered,

Washington: Congress was frank-ly told that the reason for the shortAmerican supply of scrap metalcould be traced to extremely heavyshipments to Japan before the dec-laration of war.

The amendment had been tackedonto a bill passed which provided$100,000,000 for the purchase of gas-masks, auxiliary fire-fighting equip-ment and other protective goods tobe used in the protection of thepopulation against air raids.

The senate had been expected togo along with the house in its effort

JAMES M. LANDISSucceeding Little Flower ...

to weed the "frills and furbelows"out of the program.

Senator Byrd, Virginia, keynotedthis move by demanding that theOCD" send his committee a list ofall OCD employees getting over$3,000 a year, and outlining theirspecific duties.

LUZON:163 Planes

Continued efforts by the Japaneseto land on Bataan had been turnedback by General MacArthur's high-ly mobile artillery forces in the gen-eral's "last ditch" fight to keep theAmerican fiag flying over the Phil-ippines.

The anti-aircraft fire of MacAr-thur's men had continued good, thebag of seven planes in one day.comparing favorably with otherfronts where .the United Nations hadmany more serviceable aircraftthan did the defenders of Luzon.

Captured prisoners and othermethods of gaining information re-vealed that five Japanese divisionshad been identified as taking partin the battle, which would bring theestimated strength of the Japs ac-tually on the front battle-line at closeto 100,000 men.

Other divisions were on the island,keeping communications open, andit had been reported that reinforce-ments for the' Japs were constantlyarriving, thus steadily increasingthe pressure on the American-Fili-pino army.

NQRMANDIE:$80,000,000 Job

Whether carelessness, sabotage orFate was responsible, the 83,000-tonNormandie, former luxury liner andnow the naval auxiliary Lafayette,lay on her enormous beam-ends in40 feet of water and 12 feet of mudat her dock in New York, an $80,-000,000 salvage job for the U. S.navy.

Twenty-two hundred men were at !

work inside of her, changing herover from peacetime to wartimeuses when a welder's torch starteda fire. Within minutes it was oyt ofcontrol.

Water-PincersA new tactic in warfare, the

"water-pincers" movement, utilizedby the Japanese in Malaya, had'brought Singapore to her knees,spreading gloom .in Britain, andmaking the defense of the East In-dies a nearly superhuman job.

General Yamashita, commanderof the Jap forces in Malaya, hadwon the Order of the Golden Kite _and the Order of the Rising Sun for \his 'success in driving the defendersout, of Malaya, for smashing intothe island of Singapore, first time inhistory that the historic port hadbeen tested in battle.

The. long, narrow peninsula ofMalaya, difficult terrain, had appar-ently presented enormous inva-sion problems. The Japs had solvedthese by using small boats, manyof them commandeered or captured,and sending small, well-armed andhighly mobile detachments, firstdown the east coast, then down thewest, making landings by night, andinfiltrating behind the defenders.

Each time the British were ableto make a swift withdrawal, and tosalvage their main forces, but eachtime they lost ground, until theywere finally driven back across theJohore causeway onto the Singaporeisland.

Literally scores of "bites" hadbeen taken out of each coastline bythis Japanese technique during-theiradvance southward. At the sametime the Japs had sent another largeforce to drive westward from the topof the peninsula in an effort to cutoff "the Burma road, but, more im-portant, to protect their own rear.

SPY RAIDS:On West Coast

TWO BUDDHIST PRIESTS TAKENWeren't always praying . . .

More and more Japanese contin-ued to be caught in the nets spreadalong the West coast by the FBI.

The spy raids were being carried.-out almost daily by the G-men, whoin one raid got 20 alleged spies andsaboteurs and a truckload of ammu-nition and weapons.

Chief concentration of the raidswas in Pacific coast counties wherethere were large military establish-ments.

At Salinas, Calif., following thequestioning of several Japs takeninto custody at a large lettuce farm,one of them turned out to be a for-mer chief of police in "Tokyo, An-other was formerly a high official inthe same police force.

A raid on a Buddhist temple inMonterey county yielded threepriests. All of them had been inthis country only a few months.

In a sporting goods store, aboutto purchase firearms, a former Jap-anese bootlegger with a police rec-ord was taken into custody.

It was here that a whole truckloadof ammunition, rifles, shotguns, etc.,was seized, together with the propri-etor, a Japanese.

In 45 places searched, the yieldwas, among other things, 60,845rounds of ammunition.

TEA:Panic Buying

A new U. S. agency had beenformed to handle the tea situationwhich developed after grocers wereapalled to find customers orderingtea in five-pound lots.

The panic in buying followed simi-lar lines to that in sugar, and whichhad resulted in the setting up of asugar rationing plan.

As more or less a natural out-come of-the news from the tea-grow-ing areas, WPB began to get re-ports of "five-pound tea buying"from all sections of the country,and it was regarded as essentialthat rationing be adopted if the buy-ing panic had not been stopped vol-untarily.

In the sugar situation, cases ofprosecution began to pop up, onechain store manager, trying to makea sales record for himself, havingdisposed of 31,000 pounds of .sugar,allegedly to illicit still operators. Hewas fined $500.

DUTCH:Under Pressure

Complaints from the NetherlandsEast Indies command that too muchof the naval force of the United Na-tions was engaged in "non-combat-ant work" came as the Dutch faceda pincers movement against Soura-baya and the fear of a frontal at-tack on Java generally.

It was evident, said the Dutchleaders, that a giant pincers movewas being directed at Java whenthe Japs landed in force on Celebesisland, which formed the tip of theright flank of the Javanese defenseline.

At the same time Axis sources hadreported that the Japanese were de-manding the surrender by the Dutchof all the East Indies, together withtheir oil supplies, in return for whichthe islands would be technically leftas Dutch possessions.

Dutch sources said, however, thatno Japanese proposal would be en-tertained, and they continued their"scorched earth" policy of destroy-ing all oil installations before aban-doning any property to the Japs.

Despite the costly losses inflictedon the enemy in Macassar straitlast month, the Japs evidently hadbeen able to make successful land-ings there.

Chief hope at present of the Dutchin captured territory was the re-port of successful guerrilla actionwhich had really been the answerto the loss by Japan of any real vic-tory in the war with . China. OneDutch authority had said:

"Nowhere do the Japs feel safe.Our men behind their lines are pick-ing them off, two today, ten tomor-row, and the toll is mounting andsteady. This guerrilla war is beingfought in an incessant downpour ofrain."

CLOSER:Draw Lines of War

Though there was little evidenceof a slackening of the general Japa-nese advance through the island em-pire of the Southwest Pacific, itseemed that as the days wore on,the main battle lines were drawingcloser together.

Arrival in New Zealand of the firstunits of Admiral Leary's navalforces heralded, according to news-men who accompanied the fleet, theestablishment of a supply line forthe United States.
