 They will note if any adults are aged infirm or sick. They will also get information on the condition of the attic whether or not the home owner has a car, bicycle or motorcycle, what room has been chosen as the refuge room and what equipment the family has, such as ladders, ropes, shovels, crowbars, hoes, garden hose, fog nozzles, stri- rup pumps, back pumps and first aid material.
 They will ascertain what expe- rience in first aid the occupants have had and how many extra rooms there are.
 Such information will be vital in case homes in their sections are damaged by explosive or incendiary bombs. Cooperation of the public Is asked.

UNITED STATES
 OF WORLD PLANS
Postwar Establishment of Such Proposal Must Be
 Practical One

Boston, March 11-(UP) - Post war establishment of Unted States of the World must be based on a practical rather than an idealistic understanding of human behavior, according to Dr. Eliot D. Chappie out of Harvard Medical School.
 Dr. Chapple, president of the Society of Applied Anthropology told a symposium at the American Academy of Arts and Science last night that in such an organization each state must not be grouped according to customs, language or nationalisty.
 It must be a natural geographic technological region where trade and explorations of natural re- sources can be carried on within the bounds of climate, natural bar riers, and common highways of travel, he said.
 "The growing pains of the mod ern world system, out of which arose the present war" he said, were largely the result of attempts by most of the major governments to preserve out-moded political in- stitutions, based on 18th century conditions"
 Tn a United States of the World every region state, whether com- posed of victor or vanquished, whites, yellows, browns or blacks, must be a member on an equal basis, he said.
 Even Germans and Japanese must be- included in our policy, however painful and bitter our feelings towards them
 This time, he said, they must not be provided with the means and incentive to react violently against restrictions imposed upon them.

CITY OFFICIALS DELIVER BONDS

City Clerk Joseph M. Shea and Executive Secretary John P. Fitz- maurice were in New York today to deliver $30,000 in city water supply bonds to Halsey, Stuart & Co, which offered the lowest bid. The firm bought the bonds at an interest rate of 1.90 per cent, one of the lowest rates ever secured by the city.
 Unless there should be unforeseen extra expense, the bond issue, plus the proceeds of an earlier issue of @i ,000, 900 and a federal grant of $500, 900, will be more than suffi- cient to pay all costs for completing the second pipe line as well as a new reservoir and chlorination plant.

s2,500 last year and another one
$500, perhaps because his plant
did not work full time, or because
he had Just begun to learn the job.
Suppose they both receive $4,000
this year. and suppose that the sec
ond man is a much better workman,
or has been advanced to a better
and more difficult task, or his plant
is now running full time. The prin-
ciple suggested would require him
to pay $1,000 in taxes, whereas the
man who always had $2,500 would
pay nothing. This is only an ex-
ample, but it is typical OF millions
of cases. We simply cannot tax in
dividuals on the basis of improve
ment over last years income. 1t Is
hard enough to do with corporations,
and the effort to do so has produced
many inequalities in the excess
profits tax, but it is impossible with
individuals. There are good many
sound principles in taxation, but If
any of them are pressed to extremes,
particularly when the rates are very
high, the results turn out to be un-
just to large proportion Of those
taxed.
To sum up, we have to spread the
burden as equitably as possible on
the basis of a mans present income.
We have to tax every one. We
have to tax the wealthy more heav-
lily, but we have to leave them after
taxes with an income having some
distant relation to what they have
been receiving in past years. At
the same time we can't tax a man
more heavily simply because he has
improved his condition since last
year.
Finally, we come to the question
of taxing business and corporations.
OF course, all corporations are owned
by somebody, bondholders or stock
holders. Furthermore, they dis
tribute to stockholders from 10 per
cent to 80 per cent Of their earnings.
Since these stockholders are already
being taxed, any tax on the net in
come of corporations Is double taxa
ton. In other words. the earnings
are taxed once when the corporation
makes its return, and then the stock
holder has to pay on his dividends,
which are the same earnings, at the
very high rates I have discussed. II

estimated to be $15,000, ,000, 900. The
Morgenthau plan practically does
not reach this additional income ut
all unless 1t is spent for liquor. to-
bacco or gasoline.
I have always rather favored q
general withholding tax than q sales
tax, but it Is more complicated, and
it may be necessary to resort to it
later as part Of compulsory saving
plan. A retail sales tax is the sim
plest, most direct and easiest to
understand of any general tax. 1t
is not imitation in the slightest de-
gree. 1t is deflationary. Standing
by itself, it is unfair. Combined with
Evening star., 1942-03-24

. heavily graduated net income tax,
I believe 1t Is the best method Of
making all contribute to the war
effort.
I have said enough to show you
that the task Of Congress Is not
pleasant. can only assure you
that the Representatives and Sena-
tors concerned with this problem
are sincerely trying to work out the
best possible system. one that will
raise the money and will distribute
the burden equitably as we see it.
When We get through I hope the
country will forgive us.

his proposed increases is in excess
Of what will actually be realized.
In my opinion, the program falls
down because it only reaches such
q small proportion Of the popula-
ton, and should be supplemented by
a sales tax or a general Withholding
tax. I have always opposed such a
tax, but today believe every one
should contribute, and this is the
best way Of securing that result. I
estimate we could get $4,000, ,000, 900
additional from S per cent retail
sales tax, four billion from a 10 per
cent retail sales tax. This would not
decrease any ones standard of living,
Evening star., 1942-03-24

because there are 80 many things
that people will not be able to buy.
and so many things people will not
be able to do, like travelling in auto
mobiles, that they can we1 afford to
pay this additional tax. From the
mail I am receiving, the people are
in favor of such a tax. No one OBJ
jects to contributing 5 per cent to
the war effort.
Increase Largely in Wages.
We have to remember another
thing. The tremendous increase in
national income is going almost en-
tirely to wages in the war industries.
