INCOME TAXES-BRITSH
AND AMERICAN

A Washington newspaper makes an
enlightening comparison between in
come taxes in the United States and
England. Those who complain that
Uncle Sam is robbing them, should
consider the figures.
A married couple in England, with
wage income of $4,000 year, pays
$246; and American Couple with an
earned income eff $4,000, $500 more
than the English couple, pays 30
cents.
An Englishman with wife and
three children, earning $4,000 a year,
pays $646; an American with the
same sized family and identical earn
ings, doesn't pay any income tax to
the Federal government.
Here g how it operates in the upper
brackets: An English bachelor who
gets 100000 a year from his invest
ments, turns over s663,O00 to the
public treasury; an American in the
same happy circumstances, pays only
$528,240.
These who are worried about the
size Of our national debt may find
some solace in the thought that if we
levied the same rate of income tax in
this country as in England, VIC would
end our Federal deficit and soon be-
gin wiping out the national debt. How
ever, the administration fears that
would seriously curtail buying power,
and prefers for the time being to
borrow to meet deficits.

BETTER FARM HOMES

Recently an editorial writer pointed
ont that farm people move to the
cities and towns in order to enjoy
comforts of life denied the rural
citizen.'' While this is true to a Ger
tain extent, there are few Of the
comforts of life which might not be
enjoyed by the rural population.
Many modern appliances for the
home are available for the farm as
well as the city, and in most cases at
no greater cost. For it must be re-
numbered that city folks do not have

HAY FEVER VICTIMS

Millions of Americans look with
dread upon the hay fever seasonal
season of sneezes, wet eyes and bloom
ing noses. In the peak period, August
to frost, the glamorous movie star can
match sneeze for sneeze with the way
side tramp, for hay fever is no respec-
ter of age, sex or social position.
Response to treatment has been
gratifying in recent years, say medi-
cal experts at Battle Greek sanitar-
ium, and victims who cannot seek out
lands Of partial immunity have in
crease the roll of sanitarium patients.
Daniel Webster, who endured sew
ere attacks yearly, called hay fever
depressing and discouraging dis
ease" Other great and near great
have used more picturesque language
in describing the malady, about which
public misconception is widespread.
Many think the 1875 pollen shedding
lspecies of goldenrod are the only
plants causing it, but the experts say
the homely dust-covered ragweed
causes some IS per cent Of the late
! summer hay fever attacks east of the
Rockies. Other villains are timothy
grass, corn, cockleburs, thistles, sage
brush, sunflowers and various trees.
Most early spring hay fever is said to
be caused by the pollen of trees; in a
few instances by dandelions. Later In
the season it is generally caused by
the pollen of grasses and certain
weeds.
Medical records show that the hay
fever cavalcade begins moving toward

WHAT is THE AMERICAN WAY?

Everybody is inclined to- consider
that his own opinions and pref inires
about customs and institutions, pr!n.
ciples and practices represent the
" American Way'. The term is used
to justify the most contradictory id,
cas-. Nevertheless, there are some prin-
ciples and pracatices that are dist'nc-
lively American and that are believed
in by most Americans; especially
fundamental conception of freedom
which is part of our heritage.
We have built up our civilization
here, and drawn cur social pattern, ON
a basis of individual freedoms 1t in
cludes freedom of worship, of speech
and press all assembly, of residence
and movement; liberty to pursue an
occupation of ones own choice, to
acquire and own property, and to ent-
er into voluntary association with 9TH
ers in enterprise; and the right to par
ticipate in government through repre-
sentatives whose arbitrary power IS
restricted by basic and statutory law
and who are periodically accountable
to the people. These rights do not con-
stitute the whole range of American
freedom, but are among the most fun
damental.
1t is true that these are not regard
ed as absolute rights. We impose llm-
it's by custom and by public authority
But we try to adhere to the pattern
and we recur to it whenever it is tenn
porarily diregarded. The conviction
persists that this individual freedom
mnst be aintained-li1nited only in
order to preserve the maximum of 1t
for all. For I'm the freest possible exer-
else of Individual initiative and en-
ergy we see the handspring Of oui
past achievement and the guaranty OF
a greater future-the fulfillment OF
the promises of American life.
There is no other plan of human
relations we know of that has produc-
ed or is producing like result. Cert
ainly the totalitarian systems ho"
spreading over Europe-and not with.
ont their advocates here-bear nc
fruit that we crave. We believe in hard
Iwork-but in occupations of our own
choice; in dicipline-but self-d1cl-
pline; in individual duties and group
duties-but not imposed by arbitrary
power; in cooperation-but of free
people.
Free institutions, however, afford
ing the maximum of individual oppor-
tunity are not an accident of nature,
like the climate-nor do they persist
like the sun, moon, stars for whose
existence and movements and contln-
uance we feel no responsibility. Gen.
erations of vigorous, industrious, and
adventurous people have established

night by Louis E. Spiegler, director
Of the annual United Jewish Appeal.
Co-chairmen of the appeal will
be Morris Simon, attorney. and
president of the Woodmont Country
Club, and Rabbi Isadore Breslau,
president of the District Zionist
Organization. Both served in the
same capacity last year and were
again called upon to shoulder the
responsibility for the conduct Of the
campaign at a meeting of repre-
sentative Jewish leaders last week.
The local campaign is part of q
Nationwide effort to provide relief
for hundreds of thousands of Jews
left destitute by war, persecution
and dire economic conditions in
Eastern and Central Europe.
Gifts Sought From All.
"During the two-week drive efforts
will be made to obtain a contribu-
ton, no matter how small, from
every Jewish family In Washing
ton," Mr.. Spiegler said. During
the coming Passover holidays ap-
peals will be made from the pulpits
Of all the synagogues to aid this
great humanitarian cause.

the Jewish populations of Europe
make 1t essential that every dollar
possible be raised to alleviate the
frightful suffering in Poland and
elsewhere.

were obtained in last years relief,

Jewish organization in the city will
be called upon to provide volunteer
canvassers for the cause.
While most of the funds raised
will go toward relief work in Europe
and for providing homes for refugees
in Palestine, a smaller percentage
Of the total raised will be given to
the National Refugee Service to
provide aid for those refugees who
have been able to come to this
