II you are confused about the
draft, and wish that somebody
would make up his mind what is
going to be done, then you can
sympathiZe with Washington.
The nations capital is all in a
Other as to where we should
60 from here.
In World War / we pulled
some 100000 men into the
Army and took another 260, 900
men into the Navy.
Before the end of this year,
Draft Director Hershey says, we
shall have in excess of $500, 900
soldiers. The Navy and its land
fighting unit, the Marine Corps,
are building up toward goal NJ
two and a half millions. Next
year the Army wants enough
men to build its aggregate
strength up to around ten mil
lions.
That means that by the end
of l943, if all goes well, we hope
to have some 12,5O0,000 men in
uniform. Obviously no such or
ganizatiou can be built without
upsetting the civilian economy
pretty thoroughly
Up to now Selective Service
has found most of its men in
what might be called the dis
pensable" classification-young
healthy, without dependents
who would suffer unduly from
absence of a breadWinner.
But we have about reached
the bottom of that bin. Selective
Service is going to have to be-
gin taking men who are less
"dispensable."
The burning question right
now is which of two classified
tions should be drafted first
The 18-19-year-olds, the bright
eyed youngsters who have moi
yet had opportunity to sprou'
their wings and enjoy the de-
lights of young manhood, oil
even to complete their educa'
lions; or married men upor
whom wives and children de.
pend for the very bread they
eat.
General Hershey says thai
from a million to million ano
a half men must be taken mex
year from one group or the 9th
er.
CAN'T TOUCH YOUNGSTERS
Under the law as it now
stands, he cannot touch the
youngsters. If this law is no.
changed very soon, he will be
forced to call out fathers of de-
pendent children about a veal
from now.
The public, judging from the
results of a recent poll, is in NJ
doubt what should be done un
der such circumstances. 1t voteo
six to one in favor of calling
the 18-l9-year- old men into
service.
This comedies with the Ar
my's preference. The general!
would much prefer hav n {
strong, alert, adaptable, resilien
youngsters, who leave no dis
rupted homes about which tC
worry. Experience has showr
that there are no better sold
iers than these 18-18-years oldS
Industry, too, would like t
see the law changed. The young
er men have not yet made plac
es for themselves in war pro
duction. Such skills as the,
have are new, uncertain ant
easily replaceable. The olde
men have infinitely more to con
tribute to war production.

SPENDING TAX

VVnen
the unbalanced tax structure that has grown up
through the years in order to substitute sane and
sound war tax program three quite separate eonsd-
erotions must be kept in mind.
First obviously O scientific tax system must rose
terrific amount Of money. The National bureau OF
Economic Research soys SAC, 900 900, or about
q third of our anticipated nation income tor next
year.
Second, it must obtain that money from those
who have the ability to pay without distress or econo
mic disaster.
And third it must take money from those who
otherwise would spend it to produce initiation
The problem really divides into two parts, each
calling for different type tax
For the raising of large if not adequate amount
of revenue, according to ability to poy the income tax
generally considered suitable Not the motley COL
lection Of good and bad provisions which we now have
but scientifically designed income tax based upon
fundamental and permanent principles.
For the prevention Of initiation, what could be
more sane than tax on spending, graduated as to
rest most heavily upon those items which least
necessary and the production Of which has been elm
mated strngenty regulated in tovor OF war goods!
In effect, Of course, such tax is q soes tox In
normal times there is strong opposition to any soes
tax But these not normal times.
The most effective argument against soes tax
is the foot thot it hits the little fellow who spends
most of his income, harder than it does the more
prosperous who can much Of what they receive.
There are increasingly many who, disiking the
soIes tax general principle, believe that the very
qualities which in ordinary times make it onti-socoI
are the ones which now make it desirable.
But to be fair and effective, any soles tax we
adopt must be spending tax. 1t must encourage
saving, particularly through war bonds and insur-
once, and the paying off Of bills and mortgages by
exemptine such items from any substantial tax bur-
den.
1t must rest lightly upon the actual necessities Of
life, notably food clothing and shelter for within
certain bounds these are both essential and relatively
plentiful.
1t must bear heavily upon such items as outomo-
biIes refrieerotors, washers, etc.-nonufocture OF
which has been virtually suspended-ond upon lux
uries.
The Treosurys ideo Of q spending tax was sound.
Unfortunately it hastily concocted, undigested
and unrefined But the theory worthy Of intelligent
consideration.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When Abraham Lincoln was elect
ed President Of the United States a
young American named George
Dewey was starting a career in the
Navy.
Dewey had been a student at the
Naval Academy in Annapolis and
had stood high In his class. In the
Civil War he served as q lieutenant.
He was aboard one of the Union
vessels which ran past the forts Of
New Orleans.
After the war was over Dewey
stayed in the Navy and rose step
by step until he was given the rank
Of commodore" and took charge
Of q section Of the American fleet.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out Dewey was 80 years of age.
The war started on April "a, 1898,
and Dewey was at Hong Kong,
China, with seven war vessels under
his command. Quickly he set out to
attack the Spanish fleet In the Phil
ippines. It was no stealthy attack,
while peace talks were going on. Yet
Commodore Dewey did not send his
calling card in advance.
The American sailors steamed
through the night toward Manila
Bay. They wondered whether their
ships might strike mines along the
way. Happily they escaped this
danger.
Dawn was breaking when they

ship of the Spaniards and put it out
of action.
After a time the Americans
steamed over to the opposite side Of
the bay. This action gave the Span
iards a false idea, making their
leader suppose the Americans had
given up the fight to make repairs.
The fact was that they simply went
away for breakfast and to put their
ammunition in shape for the next
round"
In about three hours they re-
turned and finished the battle. Ten
large Spanish vessels were sunk or
set afire and two Spanish torpedo
boats were destroyed. This led the
Spaniards to give up the fight.
Seven Americans were wounded in
the battle of Manila Bay but no
American sailor was killed. Dewey
was hailed as a hero and later was
named Admiral Of the Navy"

from the masts of Dewey's fleet.
Seeing the flags. the commander
Of one Of the Spanish forts gave the
order to flre. Then other forts put
their cannon into action.
Dewey ordered his vessels to hold
their fire until they came within
closer range Of the Spanish fleet In
the harbor.
Soon the battle started in earnest.
Broadsides were fired at the Spanish
feet and broadsides came back. One
American shell ripped into the nag.

The Worst Lead

Even among experts, q goOolsn
amount Of luck attaches to the open
ing lead. The choice OF the card To
lead, once you have picked the suit.
Is a cinch, for that Is pretty well
fixed by convention; but the choice
Of the suit is often quite problem
This is particularly true against
slam contracts, where the defense
often has It's one and only chance
to start the right attack on the
opening lead. Most fine players fol-
low the principle that the best
defense is 4 good ofense. 1t Is point
less to make . safe or defensive
lead against . slam contract. That
gives declarer control Of the hand.
and permits him to develop the
hand according to his own notions.
The best lead against q slam Is one
which stands q fair chance OF set
ting up . trick. Then If declarer has
to give up the lead, you can cash
that trick and defeat the contract.
The reason speed is SO essential Is
that If you give declarer time
enough. he will discard his losers
and give up only one trick. And,
after this rather long discourse,
take . look at today's hand:

West Virginia Buys
Area Near BroOkSide


The purchase of 1872 acres Of
wooded land near Aurora for de-
velopment as a "wayside park" was
announced by State Conservation Di-
rector T. D. Gray, Of West Virginia.
Mr. Gray said the land, bought by
the State Conservation Commission
from Branson L. Haas, was acquired
primarily because it was grown over
with an expansive stand of virgin
hemlock timber. The tract also has on
it virgin hardwood trees which adds
to its value. 1t is near the Garrett
county border line.
Located between Brookside and
Aurora on u S. Route so, the land
will be cleaned and made ready for
use as a picnic ground and recrea-
tional spot An eight acre lake for
merly was contained in the tract and
probably will be developed again as
soon as funds and opportunities per
nit, Mr.. Gray added No definite
plans have been made regarding the
lake, however.
Mr.. Gray pointed out that this de-
velopmcnt by the Conservation Com
mission differed from that of the
State Roads Commission which has
launched program Of building road
way parks adaptable as rest spots for
tourists of West Virginia.
The Preston tract, he said, contains
a large tract of forest land and can
be developed into a project compar-
able to an official State Park
The deed for the land, whose price
was not announced has been record
ed in the court house in Kingwood,
Mr.. Gray said.
