Six Million More

Six million Americans will pay
federal income taxes next year fol
the first time if the lowered ex
emption of $3.50 for single persons
and $500 for married persons are
retained in the tax bill now under
consideration in Congress.
At the present time federal gov
ernment expenditures average $52,-
O0o,O0 a day, and, as the defense
program gains momentum, that fig
ure viii undoubtedly Increase To
help meet such huge expenses
everyone must contribute his
share. Rates on higher incomes
are being sharply increased, but,
even so, no one group can possibly
pay the entire sum. There are not
enough rich people in America
for that. AS a matter of fact, the
total income for. a year of all
Americans earning $4,000 a year
and over would meet government
expenditures for only two months.
While paying an income tax will
be a new experience for the low
income group, actually they have
paid direct federal taxes on Gig
arettes, gasoline, theatre admis-
sions and other items in the past,
and have also paid hidden taxes in
connection with every loaf of
bread, !, pair of shoes and almost
every other article they buy. Such
revenue, however, no longer pro-
duces sufficient. funds for regular
federal expenditures, plus defense,
and so income taxes must be used
to take care of the rising costs of
How much those costs have risen |
is evident from the fact that at
the turn of the century a man
with wife and two children, earn
ing 800 a month, paid only SIS of
his salary in taxes, direct and in
direct. Although he may earn
$3.50 a month now, even before the
huge armament program was
launched his taxes had risen to the
equivalent of $25 month and they
are still going up.
It is because of this rise that
the demand is growing for greater
economy in non-defense spending.
Now that 100000 more voters will
have to pay an income tax, perhaps
that demand will become even
more insistent. In the past their
taxes have been hidden to such an
extent that many of them failed to
realize how directly they were af-
fected by federal expenditures. The
income tax should serve to en-
phasize the fact that they pay
share of the cost of government
and that, the lower that. cost is,
the lower their share will have to
be.

one who differs from them is lack
ing in intelligence. 1t is well to
remember that when people are
somewhat equally divided ON some
issue, there are usally strong ar
guments on each side. So don't
holler too loud at your neighbor
who thinks differently, Better go
home and think calmly over his
ideas, and see if they do not at
least have some partial merit

Spending Family Money

Who shall spend the money by
which the family is supported?
The most common idea in old times
was for the husband to dole it out
gingerly to his submissive wife.
Many men learned that their wives
could make the money go farther
than they could. They handed over
the bulk of the pay envelope to
her, reserving for themselves only
what was needed for bare neces-
stiles. Usually they came out bet
ter.
Modern young women are not
likely to be very happy if the hus-
band holds onto all the money, and
only doles it out in response to
her special requests. If she has
to ask for money every time she
really needs. a new hat or dress,
the chances that she will tire of
the double harness are fairly
strong in many cases.

Folks You Depend Upon

The people who take the lead in
an organization work and COM

if you could get at their inmost
thoughts, that there are a good
many folks who can't be depended
upon. They talk very nice about
their interest in their home town,
but If they were appointed on some
committee to do some specific
thing, they would probably forget

Home Town Thoughts

A GOVERNMENT will be weak
and unprogressive il its people
lack loyalty to it. Also a COM
munity will be weak and unpro-
gressive, if it's people are not loyal
to its interests.

little sense?

Winning LIES Battles

A patriotic orator who was talk
ing about the success of the Amer
leans in winning the Revolution
ary War, remarked that this vic
tory was due to the fact that the
American soldiers were fighting
with their whole hearts. They
threw themselves into the con-
fiict with all their energy. Mean
while the British soldiers were
just fighting for their pay.
