Taxes COIlectible This Year
Not Enough BabsOn Asserts

Washington, d. c. Apr. 1l-Tax
returned and tax payments in
March shattered all previous rec
ords. However. the taxes collec-
tible this year will be far short Of
our requirements. Not only are
our defense charges increasing
rapidly; but the outlay Of the civil
departments OF government has
risen over S3,000000000 in the
past ten years. Washington ap-
parently expects sacrifices on the
part OF everyone except itself!
Hence. taxes are being raised TO
support its INCREASED costs as we'll
as 10 bear the expense OF defense.
Proposed Higher Taxes
The plan to tax all new govern
ment. state, and municipal bonds
is a step in the right direction.
This, moreover. should help gen
eral business and relieve unem-
ployment by causing rich people
and banks to invest more in in
dustry. Mr.. Morgenthau hopes
that taxes can supply two thirds
Of our spendings, while borrowing
will Garry the other one third
This would mean for 1912 further
increase of more than S3.000,000,-
600 in tax payments. This seems
to me to be too much but un-
fortunately | am a statistician and
not a politician.
Half of the needed money should
come from higher tax receipts up
on a larger national income with
out increasing the tax rates. The
remainder the Treasury claims,
must come from wholly new tax
alton. Raised rates on corporation
and private incomes can provide
some of this new revenue. This
may mean a two per cent increase
in normal taxes on private in
comes with surtaXes beginning on
net incomes of $4,000 instead of at
the present level of $4,000. The
defense tax of 10 per cent may be
raised. Estate and gift taxes may
come in for upward revision. A
raise from u per cent TO 80 per
cent for corporations earning over
$4,000 is possible. If these new
taxes will help us pay as we 60
they should not be resented. 1t is
better to pay for our way Of living
in cash than in blood.
Goodbye" 10 a Debt Limit
In hn usal-A %
the Lend-Lease bill last month. we
have seen negotiations TO take
over Britain's war contracts in ex-
change for her manufacturing
plants and OF her real estate in
this country as well as her securi-
ties. We have seen billions OF
new appropriations for our own
defense measures. The passage OF
the s7,000,000,000 arsenal of de
mocracy" bill increased our per
capita debt by $50. This alone
boosted the per capita share from
S346 TO 1893, or about $4,000 per
family.
& When the latest debt figures for
the quarter ending March 81 are
available, the total will be found to
be rapidly approaching the present
ceiling Of s65. 000.00O.000. In so
saying, | am considering this in
terms Of what We are already com

to do. The original budget cost

Doing Our Share

When people go on some exGur-
sion or picnic, they all expect to
do their share of the work and pay
their part of the expense. The
boy on the picnic who should loaf
around lazily while the rest were
gathering the firewood and carry
ing the baskets and water, would
not be popular. When It comes to
settling the bills of the excursion,
The men expect the. costs to be
divided up equally, and everyone
to pay his fair share.
The inhabitants of a town might
be said to be taking an excursion
in experience by living together in
a community. Everyone should be
willing to take his share of the
work, and pay his share of the ex-
pense, so far as his financial
ability will permit. Those who re-
fuse to do. a fair share of public
work for the community, are
looked at like the loafing boy on
the picnic. If they have a good
excuse for such abstention, they
are justified, but more frequently
they have no such valid excuse.

what The Flag Means

Are the stars and stripes, whose
birthday we celebrate June IA as
flag day. just one more bit Of
bright color to ornament our
homes and streets? Does your
heart thrill bit when you see it
shining in the sun and waving in
the breeze? Or is it an old story,
so commonplace that you give 1t no
more thought than you do some old
article of furniture in your home?
II you were in some foreign land
in circumstances OF danger, the
sight of that flag would seem like
a message Of salvation. You would
feel that Uncle Sam was stretch
ing his powerful arm across vast
oceans, and saying to possible foes
that you were one of his children,
and would be protected wherever
you go.
The American people adopted
that flag as an emblem that signi-
fies certain principles in which
they believe. It is not merely a.
piece of bright colored cloth, but
a. trumpet call, which asks us to
enlist for the defense of our ma
ton, and in the advancement of
human progress.

Friend Turned Enemy?

Sad news has been coming
from Europe, over the attitude Of
the so called government Of
France. This can not be called a
real government, since it exists
only by the will of the German
conquerors. It has to say and do
what Berlin orders, and does not
probably represent the majority of
Frenchmen. nqs -ti i
More and more that government
is being used by Germany to ac-
complish its ends. 1t has appar-
emily allowed Nazi armies 10 pass
through the French colony of Tu-
mis-, and it is probably allowing
Nazi forces to pass through the
French colony of Syria, in both
cases to attack the British. This
makes France, insofar as it is rep
resented by its government, almost
the enemy of the United States,
which is helping Britain. Does
France forget those infinitely SOL
emn rows of white crosses erected
on its soil, under each of which lies
buried an American soldier, who
died in the effort to drive the
enemy from French land?

The Continuous 'Talker

.
One of the funny men tells of the
fellow who said he had not spoken
to his wife for three years. the
reason being that she had not
given him a chance. nv
The women folks will say this is
base aspersion on their marital
relations. Even some very fast
takers will say they are anxious
to give the men a chance to speak.
SO the wives can see what foolish
excuses they will put up for their
reprehensible conduct.
There are plenty Of fast takers
among the men. Still. the ability
to talk seems somewhat more de-
veloped among the women. At their
social events they acquire a prac-
tice in the art of conversation
which the men are apt to lack. The
power to talk well is valuable. If
not carried to excess. Many men
have failed in business and politics
because they were unable to ex-
press their knowledge and intelli-
gence.

GasIess Sundays

1t is suggested that the United
States, or certain sections, may
eventually have to be put under q
''gasless Sunday" order, as &
means of preserving oil. No suct
thing is likely to occur because Of
shortage of oil, but because of q
lack of sufficient transportation
facilities to carry the oil to many
of the factories that will require
1t for defense work.
A gasless Sunday would seem a
hardship to innumerable people,
for whom that day is the time for
high stepping on the roads. They
might consider that for our grand
parents, every day was gasless
day. And they seemed to live quite
comfortably in those times. When
human nature gets used to any
pleasure or convenience it is like
pulling a tooth to be deprived of it.
Our people would have every day
gasless day, rather than give up to
Nazi rule.

School Graduations

II June is the most beautiful
month in the year, il could be ar
gued with equal force that the
school graduation is about the most
beautiful event. Here we see a
group of young people about to set
forth on great journey over life's
rough and thorny pathway, Do
they view that path with fears and
apprehension? They do not, but
they enter ON that steep climb with
smiling and hopeful faces. They
give cheer to a world which too
often feels discouraged and down
hearted, because of the rebuffs and
misfortuness it has had to take.
The young women of the gradu-
ating class are often referred to as
'sweet girl graduates" If there
are any girl graduates who do not
look sweet, we can not recall
them. Perhaps they look bit up
set if the boy friend dances too
often with some rival charmer, but
the sunshine soon breaks through
their clouds.
What is the best type of pro-
gram for such an event? One pop
ular way is 10. ask some distin-
guished speaker to make an adj
dress. Such intellectual leaders
every year, say inspiring things on
these occasions which : help par
ents to realize the attitude they
should take toward the schools,
and which also inspire the grad
yates to go out into the world with
firm principles and the power to
act wisely and we'll.
A particularly useful form of
program is to call on-a member of
the best qualified graduates to
present essays or orations on good
subjects. You will be surprised
when you hear the average run of
these papers, to note how really
wise and intelligent these. modern
young folks are.
They have come in contact with
the worlds best wisdom land With
inspiring teachers. A lot of their
ideas present more real sense than
those which the older and more
sophisticated world accepts. Such
essays are splendid advertising
for any school, and persuade par
ents to give their boys and girls
good education. e,,.
Milford chronicle., 1941-06-13
The Desire For Bargains

One of the greatest sports is
hunting for bargains. The women
who spend most of the home mo-
ney. are keen over it. If they gel
an article for 80 cents which or
dinarily costs $1.5O, they tell their
neighbors and rejoice for many
days.
There is a great opportunity to
the enterprising concern to appeal
to this love for bargains. II such
store advertises that same article
the people are going to read that
ad. Nothing so useful is going to
be neglected. Many people will be
attracted to come and see the ar
ticle, and when they get there they
are pretty sure to buy something.
Even when people have no need or
desire for that particular article,
the advertising conveys the inn
preston that the concern is a
hustling and progressive place,
which leads them to include it in
their shopping excursions.
