Of course We haven't had to give
up our cars and use horses and

we are threatened with it.
knowing the long time it takes
to get laws to functioning, friends
asked RR to start a campaign to
make it mandatory for horses,
mules, and burroS to be equipped
with tail lights when ambling along
streets and highways after dark.
Don't laugh, Dear Public. You
won't laugh if you have seen those
blackout lights ior official vehicles.
1t will be up to the mules, horses,
burroS and their passengers to pro-
tect themselves.
So get busy.
This may be unnecessary if all

changed to make it mandatory for
pedestrians to be equipped with tail

PeriIin TooHiqh
Tax Boost Seen
By Vandenberg
Congress Warned
Of Handicap to
U. S. Financing
By the Associated Press.

z
Contending that too drastic
taxation might seriously handi-
cap Government financing, Sen
ator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan expressed concern yes
terday that levieS in the pending
new revenue bill might be too
high on both individuals and
business.
He was convinced, he told re-
porters, that there should be no
reduction in present individual in
come tax exemptions, ana would
fight for retention Of existing ores
when the tax bill, now before the
House Ways and Means Committee,
reached the Senate.
Senator Vandenberg, an infuen-
tial member of the Finance Com
mittee, said he believed Congress
should place primary emphasis not
on the amount of new taxes that
could be raised. but on keeping the
economic machine functioning in
such a way that individuals and
business would have sufficient
money to invest in Government
bonds.
Warns Against Heavy Burden.
1T is far less important" he said,
for us to raise an additional ST.
900 ,0OO,0 900 or $4,000, ,0O0,000 in taxes
than it is for us to preserve func-
tioning economic resources out of
which the Government can safely
borrow the funds to close the gap
in the balance sheet"
The placing of too great
burden of taxation on the, twiericsn
people. he declaredAwouid almost
certainly be follow by complete
cessation of private Bond purchases
and the Governmentt ttwould have to
turn to the banks for its financing.
The House Ways and Means
Committee has voted tentatively
to lower individual incone-tax ex-
emptions from $1,000 to $1,000 for
married persons and from $3.50 to
$500 for single persons.
Commenting on this decision,
Senator Vandenberg declared:
This is chiefly a device for in
creasing further the burdens on
present income taxpayers. The
low income groups would be better
off under sales tax than under
lowered exemptions"
Figures Presented.
He said a comparable reduction
in individual exemptions in the
l941 revenue bill had produced only
SAT 900 900 from 2,275,0Oo new tax
payers but had extracted an addi-
tional s256,OOO,OOO from those who
already were paying income levies.
The sales tax question may come
to head in the House Committee
this week, with members reported to
be demanding a definite statement of
| the Treasury's view on such levy.
The committee thus far has been
able to count up only SIS 500 600, 900
in potential new revenue, compared
with the the Treasury's request for
an additional $500, 900 900. The
committee still has to consider re-
quests for 81 $40 100000 in new ex-
else taxes, but members said it was
apparent the Treasury's overall
goal would not be reached unless
new fields were entered.
