Pascal arranged several short leaves

This puts total yields at $685.
598,932 for the present taxes and
1927 ,498.932 for the proposed taxes.
Add to that last the proposal of
SIS per vehicle use tax which on
27,300,000 cars, would bring in $780,
100000.
Add to that state taxes. In 1899,
the last year for which complete
figures are available, state gaso-
line taxes of varying amounts
brought in 100000. State fees
for tags and drivers licenses
brought in an additional SAP, ,OOO,-

Wrap up the four main items
above, throw them onto the family
hack, and If the springs don't break
you will have a potential load of
approximately S2,1925OO00O.
That's approximately 60 per cent
of the S3.600,000,000 which the
treasury proposes be raised by in
creased taxation for the defense

TAX ON WAGES
(PalO Alto Times)

(Palo Alto Times)
The senate finance committee is con-
sidering plan for a direct defense tax
of from to 5 per cent on all wages of
more than $50 a week. This particular
plan is proposed because it would be a
quick inexpensive tax to collect since the
general procedure of social security taxes
collection at the source-would be used.
In other words, the deduction would be
made from the workers pay check and
the collection made from employers.
The ease with which tax could be
collected never argues anything whatever
as to its equity. Some men become bur-
glars and bandits because they find it
easier and quicker to get money that way
than by working for it. But that does not
endow their system with ethical merit
There is a disposition to load sales
taxes upon buyers because of the ease of
that method of collection. Proposals for
diversion of the gasoline tax revenues
to other uses than those for which they
are levied have become common for that
reason But it is noted that both types
of easily collected taxes-p9yroll and
sales levies-bear down most oppres-
s lively upon those least able to pay, name
~ the small wage Garner

miles from London ON the Oxford
road. the big sound stages of the
Denham studio stand out SO prom
inently that they're used as a land

in such spot would have a hard
time keeping their minds on their
work.
Gabriel Pascal. producing and di-
recting C B. Shaw's Major Bar
bara', didn't care particularly, how
ever, except that noise of gun-fire
and planes botched a lot of the
sound track and forced him to dub
III about a third of the dialog. For
that matter, the Hays Office was
almost equally troublesome. It's dis
approval of several parts OF the
script. which Pascal says he re-
ceived six weeks late, forced him to
reShoot 90 sequenceS)
In the security of America, Pas
cal says he realizes now what un-
reasonable demands he made of
cast and crew in the painstaking
production of picture which few
believed ever could be finished. He
also believes he recorded more
emotional intensity, brought out
spiritual qualities which couldn't
have been done here. The Swarthy

director has developed an ascetic
horror of rich, luxurious Hollywood
which he fears is skidding into ar
tiStic degeneration.

DEALERS
DEALT OUT

DEALT OUI
Furthermore, it gives you an idea
of how hard hit lot of automobile
dealers are going to be with few
er cars to sell.
It's the repercussion of this cut
that probably will be felt most
With more people making money
the demand for new cars will nat
urally increase. There will be a
competitive market but the gov
ernment price control policy will be
standing behind the door to help
dealers resist the temptation. Prices
for good used cars may go up q
little too, but again the policy will
be to keep these prices reasonable
If the emergency goes on for any
length of time, with curtailed au-
tomobile production for the dura-
ton, one result will be that old
cars will be driven longer. If the
sequel to that is more breakdoWns
on the road, the car owners will
have to learn what he has now
practically forgotten, how to get
out and get under to fix up his
own automobile.
Already there is a shortage of
automobile mechanics in repair
shops, caused by the securing of
the country for machinists to work
in defense industries. Road service
department of American Automo-
bile Association is really worried
about that one.

Road building and traffic con-
troll problems have defense angles,
too National Highway Users Con-
ference and the A.AA. have both
gone into this to report that of
the $1,000 miles of roads in the
United States, 5000 miles are less

2. Repentance and Return wv.
20, 2D. To repent means to change
your mind, to turn your life in an
''about face" from sin to God. Re-
pentance calls for more than think

act. The young man "arose and

part, and then came the fathers

Nays Signal Flags

Signal flags used by ships in the
y. S. Navy are the result of the
developments Of several hundred
years. Shapes, designs and colors
are restricted to those easily dis
tinguishable. At first the national
flags of the ships were used. Later
the flags of foreign countries were
added. This use of foreign flags,
particularly in emergency codes,
was in vogue during the American
Revolution. The earlier codes were
very simple and contained only a
few easily remembered signals.
The red flag used as signal fer
battle is not of any particular
known origin, but was one of the
unwritten customs of the sea.

Sin with its devastating conse-
lquences has its only remedy in the
salvation which is in Christ Jesus.
He died to set us free from the pen
atty, the power, and ultimately the
very presence of sin. However, His
death, which was for all mankind,
lis effective only for those who in
repentance and faith accept His re-
deeming grace and turning from
their sin
1. Worldly Pleasure Brings Sor-
row wv. lilo.
Selfishness is at the heart of sin,
which is essentially self-will over
against Gods will. The younger son,
who represents the sinner, wanted
! his own way. He suffered from
l. Restlessness Under Restraint
wv. IL, 12). The father loved his
son and sought his welfare by prop
er parental control, but the boy
wanted to be free to live as he
pleased. God loves all men and
seeks by loving and gracious re-
straint to lead them in ways of
righteousness and peace. But they,
while they want His blessings, are
often eager to get away from
His guiding hand.
2. A Request Resulting in Respon-
sibility wv. IL, 49,. When the prodi-
gal asked for his inheritance he took
upon himself full responsibility for
its use. The man who refuses to
have Christ rule over his life as
sumes grave and heavy burden
which he is not able to bear.
1t is an awful thing to rule God
out of ones life, to attempt to steer
successful course through the
stormy sea of life. Why do it? It
will always result in loss and failure.
8. Riotous Living Leading to Re.
proach wv. 1870. In the far coun-
try he found for a time what we
call fun" but it led to bitter sor-
row. To the flesh there are pleas
ures of sin" (Heb. 11:25), but they
are only ''for a season.; that is,
very short lived-and they come
high. The devil is not such a fool
as to go fishing without bait The
pleasures Of sin are the devils bait,
and they always have a hook in
them. If you bite at the devils bait
you will soon have the devils hook
in your gills and be in the bottom of
the devils boat (John w. Brad
bury).

Maryland Is Solvent

Maryland to be one Of the few solvent and
conlpetently governed States in the Union
It ended its fiscal year September 80 with
SURPLUS.
Governor O'Conor has accordingly ordered cut of
cents the thousand the real and personal tax.
He is obout to ask the Legislature to CUT THE
STATE INCOME TAX.
All this seems incredible in this area of blind
stagger finances colossal taxes and debts in both the
National Government and State governments else
where.
Periodically and sensiby, Governor O'Conor says:
I'VE feel that at time like this, when the Federal
Government is calling the people for greater sacri
fees States should do everything in their power to
reduce the load of State and local taxes on their
citizens
"Ifs not good sense and it isn't fair to make them
wear two millstones around their necks at time when
one of them-the Federal tax BURDENS necessarily
made heavier"
Rarely do we hear such heartening words from an
American executive these days.
In case some forty-fve or forty-six governors would
like to know how Maryland achieved solvency and
surplus under Governor OConor they can borrow this
recipe from him:
adopt pay-as-you-go State budget.
Maintain a monthly check spending, order
economies wherever possible and mpound savings at
the end of each month.
Avoid diversion of special revenues.
Tighten up tax collection machinery
1t might be good idea to let Governor OConor run
the United States Treasury for long he wants to-
for certainly if State can show surplus and re-
duce taxes why cannot the Federal Government do as
much?
Governor OCOnor has evidently been running Mary
land on the principles that man runs his bust
runs her household
