BRITAIN SEEKING PEACEMAKER ROLE (Continued from Page One) that of the days of the Kaiser. Germany moved several thousand troops today into the Saar, which after the plebiscite, should have been kept demilitarized like the Rhineland. When Adolf Hitler accepted the Saar, he undertaook to keep it demilitarized and then declared there were no longer any points of differ.

ence with France. Police Forces Into Army COLOGNE, Germany -POlice forces of the Rhineland were incorporated into the army Nonday. All policemen in the Rhineland will in effect become infantrymen. Tho figures were not inmediately available, it was adthat Adolt Hitler's new def would considerably augment the 45,000 men estimated to be in the forbidden zone. Ethiopia Gloomy Over Development ADDIS ABABA -Officials were gloomy Monday over the German crisis, feeling its effect would be unfavorable for Ethiopia by weakening the league of nations position as regards Italy.

Official confirmation wac lacking. 7 Backstage in Iowa Politics By GEORGE MILLS (IDPA Correspondent) East Eyes As political. campaigns begin to warm up, the eyes of all candidates for nominations are turning towards eastern Iowa, traditional maker and breaker of hopes in democratic primaries.

last week was this illustrated. Nels Kraschel, lieutenant sovernor of Iowa, went on a trip thru some of the river countles. And he doesn't even have any opposition thus far in bis quest for the democratic nomination for governor. Another candidate, thru a statement made in his present official capacity, incurred the wrath of a strong groupie an eastern Iowa county. was visited by a protesting delegation.

A few days later, by way of mollification, an individual from that county was appointed head of one of the state institutions. New Faces "New faces" will rule young republicans of Iowa shortly, it is whispered in party circles here. District sessions and. state meeting will witness an entire I replacement of leadership, cording to reports. At least some of the kingpins are said to approve the It this procedure works out, the kings of yesterday will have completed a journey from the top of the national young republican organization all the way back to the rank and file, Three months ago or so, Iowa faction, dominant in the national picture until that time, lost control of the organization In a convention here.

Help! Help! If you are a candidate and it you have a request in with the state comptroller's office for receipts, expenditures and other data on certain state offices, don't become impatient if your query hasn't been answered. The office is 'way behind now in filling its political ammunition orders. If. the figures which finally are furnished are used in, the coming general election campaigns to any degree at all, the hottest battles in state political history are in the offing, comptroller's officials say. Wenig Not to Run Persistent reports that Frank Wenig of Spencer.

state labor commissioner, would be a. candidate for railroad commissioner. have been termed "impossible" by Wenig himself. Main reason for. the "impossible" response: Wenig would have to give.

up his years of seniority a railroad engineer if he landed the job. Flood Race Not all the racing in the Iowa flood situation is that of rushing waters in the choked rivers. There also is plenty of competition on dry land, too, among those variously interested in aiding flood victims at this time of this election year. In fact, the question is, not how much water do you have in your cellar but where do you want to report your flood? Several days ago, at the govand mapped out a campaign of ernor's request, engineers met preparedness should the floods get out of hand. Two days later the WPA, CCC and others met and mapped out a campaign of preparedness should the floods get out of hand.

Be it said, however, that meritorious aid was provided when overflowing waters drove families from their homes IN southwest Iowa. Nelson Puzzle Just exactly where State Senator Fred Nelson will end up. in the republican picture is puzzling plenty of sixth district observers. The senator had been expected to enter the lists for the secretary of agriculture nomination. Now come reports of Story county groups approaching other so-called "outside" counties concerning Nelson's possible candidacy "for congress in the sixth.

"Outside" counties are those areas in the sixth district outside of Polk county. Dwight Lewis, mayor of Des Moines, and Frank Hallagan, also of Des Moines, are the sixth district candidates thus far for the republican nomination for con- gress. $20,000 Cash Reports a few days ago told of the liquor commission paying another $50,000 into the state general fund to help meet Iowa's governmental expenses. Actually, all the commission really put on the barrelhead was $29.000. The other $21,000 was deducted for losses suffered when the Waterloo liquor store was destroved by fire.

The commission was refused the right to carry fire insurance by the last legislature. Thus, when the 1083 WAS incurred, A claim for $21,000 was filed with the state under the law requirIng the executive council to pay such losses. And that's how it happened that the $50,000 ante was knocked down to $29,000. Cannon Loaded They're whispering around Des Moines that the real guns of the coming campaign will be heard tor the first time this week.

Your Iowa Income Tax Prepared for the lowa Daily Press association by the state board of assessment and. view. GROSS, NET INCOME Two of the terms used in the income tax law, "gross income" and "net income," should be noted particularly as they are vitally important to the whole subject of the income tax. Gross income includes all income from any source whatever unless specifically, exempt from tax by law, or unless it is nothing more than in return roE capital. The gross income busi-ness usually consists of the gross profit from sales (total receipts less cost of goods sold) plus any income from investments and incidental or outside operations of sources.

The return must show the gross sales, purchases and "cost of goods sold. To reflect income correctly, inventories necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year. A lawyer, doctor, architect. dentist, author, or other professional man must include in gross income all fees, salaries and compensation of any kind for professional services. Professional men and also undertakers will find it most satisfactory to report their incomes on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements.

Net upon which the tax is assessed and computed is gross income less the deductions allowed by law, such as business and professional expenses, salaries, pensions, bonuses to employes, taxes, losses, interest paid, bad debts (it reporting on an accrual basis), depreciation, deI pletion, contributions, etc. Failure to. understand deductions gross income and credits against net income results in numerous errors on the part of taxpayers: Personal exemption and credit for dependents are not deductible from either gross income or net income, but from the tax when computed.
