Twenty-nine proposals for
changes in it won made in the
House of Representatives during
the recent seoelon. of the legisla-

considered important enough to
submit to popular vote.
Both of these were proposed by
Rep. George Parkhouae of Dallas.
One would permit countiea to vary

Wage Boost Denied
But Compromise
Approved
By DaltoS Press
More than 87,000 striking war
workers protesting the policies of
the War Labor Board, virtually
paralysed the Akron, Ohio, rub-
ber industry today and halted the
manufacture of army jeeps in the
most serious threat to war pro-
duction since Pearl Harbor.
The War Labor Board, faced
with a growing challenge to its
authority, urged the workers to
fulfill their “no strike” pledge and
return to work. J,.
Meanwhile, the WLB denied the
wage increase demands of John
L. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers, but approved sugges-
tions for a compromise.

Probably th«r knost widely-dis-

group of women that sought to
have women jurors authorised.

News comes from Dallas of
the death of Dr. J. J. Taylor,
editor of the Dallas Morning
News and for 33 years author of
its column, “State Press.” Dr.
Taylor was perhaps the mostly
widely known and best beloved
Individual among Texas news-
paper men. He was kindly, dig-
nified, yet highly democratic.
For several decades he was al-
ways a conspicuous figure at
conventions of the Texas Press
Association where he entered ln-
' to the' spirit of the occasion and
fraternized with the editors and
publishers of the smallest week- ,
lies as well as publishers of the
larger dallies of the state. Des-
pite his advanced years, he was
young in spirit. He loved to
dance, and at the conventions he
was always one. of the last to
leave the floor. His column was
like the man: always in good
humor and good taste. While he
possessed little formal educa-
tion, his war, nevertheless, one
of the most cultivated minds In
Texas newspaperdom. Texas
Will miss State Press, as he was
familiarly known, and there will
be a distinct void left In his
wake. No greater tribute could nTlQI?| D CADIl
was pafti u> jus pwn. ne___
when it announced that, due to
hla death, it was discontinuing
his column because "there is no

amples of the way the compromise

John Doe’s income tax for 1942
was 140. He’s earning more this
year and his 1943 bill will be 860
His 1942 tax is canceled He re-
ceives no abatement on his 860 tax
for 1943, but the payments on
1942 tax which he has made
March 15 and will make June 15
will be credited toward the 1943
tax.
Richard Roe’s tax for 1942 was
This year he has more ex-

be 880. He pays the larger of the

1944 tax, or 860, is abated.. He
owes the remaining >20 and may
