SUPER TAX WOULD
MEET WAR DEFICIT
Congressman Bailey of Pennsylvania
Author Of Measure Assessing In
comes Of More Than $4,000.
IS OPPOSED TO INDIRECT TAXES
Hold Carrier Contributing Ten Thou
sand Times Mere Than Multi-Mil-
lionaire for Government Support

(By Congressman G.. H. Tavenner)
Washington, September 12.-Rep-
resentative Warren Worth Bailey of
Pennsylvania was first on deck with
a war tax bill. Hardly had the
president finished the reading of his
appeal to congress for $lOO,000,00
additional revenue to provide emer-
gency funds for the federal treasury
when the Pennsylvania dropped a
bill in the basket drawn to meet the
situation. 1t calls for a per cent
super tax on incomes Of $4,000 and
over and Mr.. Bailey thinks it would
not merely supply the deficit result
ing from decreased imports under
war conditions, but go further and
take care of the big navy program
and leave something over to apply on
pensions.
Carry Enough Load.
II am opposed to indirect taxes
where direct taxes are available"
Mr.. Bailey said. "And in my judg-
ment the great body of the people are
carrying about all the load they
should be asked to carry just now
In proportion to his income the bod
carrier is contributing ten thousand
times as much to the support of the
government today as the multi-mil-
lionaire. The woman who scrubs
for living for herself and her Or
phaned brood in proportion to her
earnings pays for the support of this
costly outfit at least thousand times
as much as the head of big corpora
ton. Yet I am no corporation bait
er and am making no war on the
multi-millionaire. All I want to do
is to sore of even things up a bit.
The poor folks have been toting the
load pretty much all by themselves,
for a long while and now it seems
fitting that those more fortunate
should shoulder it for spell at
least. ...... .>,..

Owing to Christmas coming on
Friday the regular meeting of Troop
No Is was held on Wednesday even
ing Of last week. Further instruc-
tions were given by the ScOutmaster
in second class bandaging and first
aid work. Talks were given on
simple and compound fractures. Az
ter the business of the troop had been
transacted games we're played and

scouts in our troop are busy prepar-
ing for the large entertainment TO
be given next Friday evening, Janu-

gratifying growth of scouting not
only in Wilmington but throughout
the state. And now a word to the
Troop scribes. Remember that II Is

reminder. However most of YOU
do. So mako resolution. and keep

One very encouraging feature of
the scout work this winter mas been
the enthusiasm with which the boys
have entered into the various relief
movements. A number of troops
made 1. their Christmas duty TO sup
ply dinners 10 families who other
wise would have gone without We
have some letters today describing
these splendid good turns Both
