Warren sheaf., 1917-10-24

The new income tax law will round
up great new army of tax payers,
with all unmarried men assessed when
their incomes are over $1,000, and all
married men with incomes over $4,000.
In the minds of many people income
taxes have been associated only with
persons sof considerable prosperity.
Many who strongly favored the origin
al law never supposed it would be ex-
tended to hit their own moderate earn
ings. They felt quite comfortable while
George was allowed to do. it, but it
will seem little different now that
they are included
When new source Of taxation is
made available, legislators always
work it to the limit. Var times bring
heavy burdens and leads to new devel-
opments Of taxation. 1t was so in
England, where the income tax dates
back to the bills of the Napoleonic
wars. It is apt to prove true that
forms Of assessment once introduced
tend to become fixed. So the new in
come tax payers are quite likely to find
themselves permanently on the list,
though the rate should be reduced at
the close Of the war.
Unmarried men working for about
$25 week probably never thought the
law would be brought down to hit
them. But now like the big bankers
and manufacturers, they too must
struggle with the intricacies Of an In
come tax blank. For $25 week, how
ever, the tax will be but $5. It is an
Insignificant sacrifice compared with
the soldiers. And these unmarried
men would spend that amount any time
on a blowout with the boys.
It will not pay to think the internal
revenue men will forget about you.
AS they are appointed in Washington,
they are not inclined to play local IA
vorites. It will save trouble if every
one will promptly walk up and settle.
Warren sheaf., 1917-10-24
What Prices Can Be Fixed.

There has been much discussion
about what prices the Food Admins
tration can fix Prices have been fixed
on coal and wheat by authority con-
ferred by the Food Control legislation.
Prices have also been fixed on iron and
it's products but not under the Food
Control law. This was done by agree
ment with the iron and steel industries
and is voluntary on their part
The Food Control legislation confers
power on the president to fix prices on
coal and if necessary to buy and sell
it. Itsalso confers authority to buy and
sell, and therefore to fix prices on,
wheat, flour, meal, beans and potatoes.
These are the only articles over which
power.
The president is given power to IL
cense any business of the country
where the business transacted annual
ly exceeds 100000. The power under
such license is conferred to regulate
profits in any line of business but not
|. to fix prices. Authority is given over
fertilizer and agricultural implements
under the license provision but the
power to fix the prices is not conferred
only the power to regulate profits.
The question is often raised in re-
gard to the price Of live stock, meats.
corn, setc. The Food Administration
acting for the president can not under
the present law fix prices on these
things because the authority to do that
| is not conferred. What the next Con-
gress might do in that line is not
known, but until Congress does act no
one has the power to fix prices on any
commodity except as stated above
The regulation of profits, which may
be done now in any line of business, is
an entirely different thing from the

II | haven't been assigned to any cont
pany yet so don't know what my adj
dress will be.
When the recruiting officer told me
they were sending recruits to South
Carolina. I couldn't get up the stairs
fast enough to get examined and signed
up. When they saw how anxious

AS Ever,
RALPH.
