Senate kills high tax ON war
profit" You know what that means,
YOU and other little people will be
taxed to pay those high war profits.
The government must get thousands
of millions to pay extortionate war
prices. The Senate decides that it
would be a pity to let the men that
make the money out of the war pay
their share of the cost of the war.
Therefore the little people will pay it,
as usual, in taxes

Government is not going to fix the
price of meat. Many thanks of that.
An announcement that beef must cos;
two and half cents a pound "at the
farm" would be signal for all butch
ers to raise the price seven and half
cents pound at the butcher shop.
Regulated price that raises the retail
cost is one of the few good jokes
produced by this war.
