BROWN ' Member pf Congress, I t is estimated that somewhere between 1 forty and fifty ..million Americans will have filed income tax returns for the year 194:} by March > 15th. Probably every one of’ these individuals have encountered some difficulty in understanding the com­ plex instructions, or in filing out the complicated reports required. To them the action of the Ways and Means Committee of the House in beginning work on legislation to ^simplify the income tax laws/ and reports requir­ ed thereunder, should come as good news. The Committee as the present time is considering proposed changes in the law that may eliminate the ne­ cessity of persons, with incomes of less than five thousand dollars, pen; year from wages or salaries filing any re­ turns or reports thereon. . The esti­ mated thirty million Americans, who would' be affected by such a change in, the tax laws, w'ould.havc their tax­ es collected and their ■ reports made for them by their employers. A study is also being made of numerous pro­ posals to simplify the returns made by individuals in the higher income brackets, as well as to cut some of the red tape involved in corporation tax reports. Such reforms are cer­ tainly needed. SUITS FOR DIVORCE * Annabelle Flatter peeks -a divorce from J.

To Be Revealed Final fate of the Soldiers' Vote Bill will depend upon the President. The conference report on the compromise measure scheduled for a vote in the Senate’early this week, to be fol­ lowed by House action . later in the week. Undoubtedly the compromise bill - will receive Congressional op- proval and go to the White House, where many'predict it may meet a veto, inasmuch as the legislation is nothing like that which was! orginally siught by( the President, who asked authorization for a short form 'Fed­ eral ballot to be used by the fighting forces. .However, the Congresfe, feel- • ing th a t’ the 1 Constitution requires and provides for state control of e» lections, would not approve the use of a F 6 deral ballot, exexopt where state ballots could not be made available and the Governor of a state certified a Federal ballot, except ’where slate state ballots could not be made avail­ able and the Governor of a slate cer­ tified that the Federal ballot would be accepted and counted under the laws of his state. If the compromise Sol­ dier Vote Bill is vetoed' it is doubt­ ful that an if further legislation will be attempted pn the'subject.

THIS IS WHITE GRUB YEAR— Severe damage from' white'grubs may be expected this year as a result of the large numbers of May beetles, last: year. For the most ipart - the beetles laid their eggs in grasslands but jthe grubs which hatched from them were too small to do much dam­ age. This year these same grubs will grow rapidly and will require ,a lot of food; thus if infested sod is brok­ en this Spring and planted to crops, serious damage may be expected.
