ERNIE CAPTURES
MORE SPECIMF.tNS
Last week quhe a bit of commotion
was raised in Professor Wal~6"~'~en--
eral Science Class when Ernie "Bring
'Fan Ba~zk Alive" Chellberg brought in
three more live specimens to add to
his collection which already includes
crawfish, goats, lizards, tortoise's, oc-
tupi and many more interesting forms
of wild life.
The new forms include a live gopher
snake which reaches a length of
about two and one-half feet, and two
very cute baby squirrels, which proved
quite popular with the class.
Ernie should be commended on his
fine work, for hardly a week goes by
when he does n~ bring socne new form
of wild life for the class to study.

SIMPLIFIED TAX
; Ot~t~,of the I~g of ggmaplex and be-
wildering tax laws has come a miracle
in tax s'hnplicity which is now before
Congress for appraval.
This new measure, which appears
certain to be passed without import-
ant changes, will entirely relieve some
30 millioa taxpayers with incomes un-
der $5,1X)0 of the necessity far filing
an income tax return. Their full taxe~
will be deducted from wages or salary.
"1"o 20 million other people who must
continue reporting, it will greatly
simplify their task. Thus an incalcul-
able number of man hours will be sav-
ed for both taxpayers and deputies.
Taking the nation as a whole.it has
been the long and weary hot~rs spent
over tax forms, rather than the actual
payment of the tax itself that 'has
proved to be the real burden. This is
borne out by the fact tha,t in spite of
sharply higher tax rates, the American
people have been 'increasing their bank
savings at an unprecedented rate in
addition to War Bond purchases. In
California this "saving spree" was re-
flec{ed in the figures of the State's
largest bank which has branches in
more than 300 communities. In the
two and one-half year period ending
December 31, 1943, individual savings
in this one banking institution alone
had increased over $400 million.
