Tobacconists predicted that

of British buyers, purchasing

The fact that this is a short crop
also will help prices, tobacconists
said.
On the other side of the ledger:

"A nationwide poll indicates that IS per
cent of the people believe they do not pay
taxes" says the Kansas City Times. "Pre-
sumably these are people who never ride
in motorcarS, who do not live in houses or
apartments, who do not buy food or cloth
ing or do any of the other things that 60 to
make up present-day living
"That Is per cent is pretty mythical.
It's the supreme example of self-delusion.
1t sees no tax bills and so concludes 1t
does not pay. It's pretty much like say
ing that because you don't see the heat
or the cold neither can exist"
What this all adds up to Is simply that
the great bulk of taxes collected in this
country are hidden taxes. Nobody sends
you a quarterly or an annual statement
showing the total you pay. Instead you
pay taxes hourly, daily, weekly, in little
pieces when you make a purchase or
pay your rent or go to show. And, in a
years time, those little pieces total more
than 20 per cent Of your entire income
In other words, your earnings for over
one month out of five 60 to the tax col
lector instead of into your own pocket.
A search for the man who doesn't pay
taxes would be about as fruitless as Do
genes classic search for the completely
honest man. He would have to be some
one who doesn't eat, doesn't wear clothes,
doesn't live anywhere, doesn't buy news
papers and magazineS-a man, in brief,
who doesn't do anything at all and doesn't
need anything to do 1t with. All the rest
OF us are taxed - and plenty.

Watch Out for Ghosts

Back in 1915, '16, and IT, when half
the world was fighting, President WOOD
row Wilson was having pack OF trouble
keeping the seas clear for American mer-
chantrnen. In fact, he had so much
trouble that he finally decided on April o,
1917. to get into the fight himself. Today
the United States has a neutrality law,
the chief function Of which Is to keep
us out of inducements in the current war.
Yet, the State Department still finds II
necessary from time to time to dispatch
curt little notes. particularly to Britain,
reminding the English that, for all theo-
retical purposes, the seas are still free.
The present session of Congress has its
eve on the situation. According to Wash
irgton Columnist Bruce Cation, Repre-
sentative Melvin Mas Republican,
Minn) will shortly introduce bill ask
ing Congress to halt exports OF war ma
terials from this country to any nation
which Is guilty of selling American YES
sells illegally or which holds such vessels
for unreasonable lengths OF time. Amer
lean vessels have been held for two or
three weeks while allied authorities have
searched the holds for contraband. 1t
has been delicately limited that the Brit
ish government loyal ever to its own
merchant fleet, may be cooperating with
shipping interests. AT least 1t Is known
that British shippers watch cargoes that
are DELAYED on American vessels and then
tell exporters that II they throw their
business to the English fleet, no delays
will be incurred.
So far no American lives have been lost
through sinking Of American vessels. Re-
fugee Americans have persisted on foreign
boats, but this isn't quite the. same thing
and hasn't succeeded in arousing any
fiery show Of temper on the part Of the
people. Congress and American ship
pers, nevertheless, are beginning to feel
that the situation had better be cleared
up soon. The British are now considering
a protest from Postmaster General Far
ley sent through the State Department,
concerning delays In mails bound for
Germany The categorical answer eX-
pected will not satisfy Farley nor Con-
gres unless the British do something
about getting shipments through faster.
Freedom Of the seas Is, of course,
quaint tradition during time Of war. The
rights Of belligerent nations are always
humping into the rights of neutrals. Bel
ligerents have the right to pursue course
Of action that will help them win the war;
and neutrals should be permitted to do
everything to stay clear OF 1t. But every
body uses the same sea, and rights" some
times get badly jumbled up.
It Is difficult to understand the English
point Of view in this dispute. It Is no
secret that Britain would like to keep the
United States as neutral ally" If 1t can
not have us as an active one. It Is pos
sible that England feels our sympathies
are so strongly anti-Nazi that we can bear
1AtA ~ aIat. III
the United States must take great pains
now to handle this delicate matter adroit-
ly. We don't want to become aroused by
incidents. 1t was a collection of such
incidents" that led us into the war %
years ago.

Taxes -- and Elections

With an additional $460,000,000 tax
levy staring them in the face, congress
men are mediating over what they can do
about 1t in an election year. President
Roosevelt suggested super tax on in
comes. Senator Robert NJ La Toilette,
Jr. prog, Wis.,, has long fostered a
concrete proposal to broaden the income
tax base. Now Senator Pat Harrison
(Dem., Miss) has another idea, just the
opposite. Senator Harrison suggests that
income surtaxes In the highest brackets
be cut. He proposes reduction from
the present rs per cent maximum to so
per cent top. Through such a plan, he
predicts, capital would be turned loose
Tor new investments, unemployment, and
general expansion which would ultimately
be reflected In greater tax returns for
the government.
No matter what the merits OF the plan
may be, 1t will be sure to attract num-
Der Of electioneering congressman. What
could be sweeter at this season than a
plan to increase the tax yield by decreas-
Ing the tax rate?

Historically faithful" to the first dinner
los years ago.
The senator then reminded Jim that
the original dinner was held to celebrate
the extinguishment of the national debt.
Anything the Democrats might say in re-
joinder would be anti-cliInax. The best
they can do is to Let the matter drop and
hereafter make sure that no Republicans
are invited - even as non-paying guests.
With the national debt only few bill
lion dollars short Of the 45-billion statu-
tory limit, most politicians are a bit
touchy on the subject just now. It will be
enough of fight to balance the budget,
much less to wipe out the debt.
