money that is vital to its progress
expansion and Solvency. Nothing is
left save to turn to the lower income
groupS-and those groups are the
groups which, for the most part, are
receiving the bulk of the vastly in
creased purchasing power resulting
from war expenditures.
The annual income tax will not be
adequate Some system for collect
ing taxes, in part, on a monthly
basis will be put into effect. Dire ne
cessity is also likely to force the
passage of a general sales tax.
This should have one good eff
feet on the American people. 1t will
give many of them for the first time,
a knowledge of their own stake in
the government. It will prove TO
them that governmental spending
comes out of their own pockets and
is their own business. Every Am
erican, whether he earns ten or a
thousand dollars a week, must join
in demanding that all government
non-war spending be cut to the
bone-and that every frill, every
luxury, every non-essential, be i'm
mediately eliminated. 1t is essen
tial to curb government spending, as
well as personal spending, to check
initiation.

DATES IN PASSING

In June comes two memorable an
niversary dates that greatly affect
ed our history and that might offer
some food for thinking. First con-
slider that on June %, 1767, a tea tax
was imposed upon the heavily bur-
dened American colonies and called
forth real action on the part of the
people who had felt oppression for
too long a time. They were srnolder-
ing under the yoke of taxation
without representation This new tea
tax was the final straw that broke
tie camelis back. We all know what
was stirred into American history
books with the brewing of this tea
tax.
Take another June date, such as
the 18th of the year 1914 and see if
you recall what happened of i'm
portance at that time. Remember
when Archduke Ferdinand was shot
and about thirteen million people
fell dead from the effects of that
Hateful bullet that ended the life of

era must be the era of the common
man. And that can have only one
meaning. 1t must be the era in
which all men are not only permit
ted, but encouraged to go as far and
as fast as their abilities and energies
can take them, undeterred by the
dead hand of bureaucracy. 1t must
be the era of true freedom for all
people everywhere.
This country is the leader in pro-
ducing for war. It must also be the
leader in producing for peace. All
over the world, hungry and destitute
people, living in ruined lands, will
want and need what our American
factories can provide. The salvation
of the world will lie in more trade,
more production-and more free en-
terpriSe.
The problem of the debt is not
simply problem in economics. 1t is
a problem in philosophy as well. If it
is faced in the typical American
manner, and all private capital is
encouraged to go to work and create
maximum production, it can be SOL
we'd. If it is faced in the manner, If
the totalitarian states, and more and
more power Is seized by govern
accompanied by more and
more public debt, leaving the people
with less and less freedom of action,
it can never be solved.
Then we would have truly lost the
war, entirely aside from the military
decision reached.
After this war, free enterprise in
America will he in a position to
make Unprecedented contribution to
the well-being of our own people and
the peoples of all other lands. It will
be in a position to raise the general
standard of living to unprecedented
heights. If we have faith in this
country, if we understand this coun-
try and all it stands for and all it
Is now fighting for, that will be
done. ,.- .......4,s

THE PEACE THAT is TO COME

While We fight a war, we must also
plan for the peace that is to come.
When the last shot is fired, this ma
ton will face problems as vast, as
difficult and as vital to it's survival
as those posed by the war itself.
On the credit side, we will have a
productive machine greater than
that of all the rest of the world COM
ibined-a machine which will be UNI
paralleled in efficiency as well as in
size. On the debit side, we will have
a national debt of over 5000, 600, OOO,-
900, and interest payments alone
on that debt will amount to some
$4,000, 100000 year. That debt can
be serviced, and gradually reduced,
only if our national income holds to
levels unknown before this war be-
gan. And such income can be Sc
cured only from private enterprise
from the earnings of industry and
the individual from govern
ment spending.
When the war ends we will have
on hand, a colossal bureaucracy
built up during the war We will
have, on the other, the incredible re-
sources and installed capacity de-
veloped by private enterprise. And
then the great test will come. If de-
and freedom are to survive
the peace, if the American stand
ard of living is to again rise to ever
greater heights, that system we call
private enterprise will have ito be
freed Of all the restrainst and con-
tro1s the war emergency made un-
avoidable. - "
We cannot progress in the future
with a philosophy of scarcity. We
cannot progress and met our obi
cations if super government is per-
petuated and completes with private
enterprise in many lines of endeav-
or. We can progress if, and only if,
the enormous energies of the Ameri-
can people and American industry
are completely released and encour-
aged to produce then they can pay
the needed taxes to keep this coun-
try solvent.
In a famous address, Vice-Presi-
dent Wallace said that the postwar.

LABOR CAMP

Possibly the whole benefit to the
farmers of the mobile farm labor
camp here this summer will never
be known. A little thought will con-
vince almost any of them of the diff
ficulty they would have experienced
had the camp not been operating.
The chamber of commerce is entitl-
ed to a lot of the. credit for pro-
noting the deal. The committee has
worked diligently and spent a lot
of time interviewing the officers,
taking them around to inspect the
sites, interviewing owners and even
guaranteeing tie rentals.
Later, when the camp was threat
ening to move, the committee made
a trip to Yakima to present the
needs of this district in contrast to
the community to which the camp
was scheduled. Apparently the local
claims were even more than suffic-
lent to justify keeping the camp. The
officials demanded and got survey
of the needs for the coming months.
A recheck of the situation again
showed the need of the additional
labor. However, in spite of all the
information, in spite of the recon-
mendations OF, the several boards,
it was purely a political deal which
permitted the camp to remain here.
A personal letter to Representa-
tive Knute Hill was actually what
cinched the arrangement. This in
fluence was acknowledged by the
representatives of the F'SA both
here and at the Yakima meeting
Now, we're glad to keep the camp,
and we appreciate the efforts by OUR
representative, but the system which
permits the use of such influence is
exactly what is harning our nation
al effort in every governmental de-
partment. Sooner or later something
viii probably be done about it.

DISTRIBUTING THE LOAD

The American people are at last
learning one unacceptable fact-every
one must help pay for this war. The
old slogan, Soak the rich," no long
er has any meaning.
The new tax bill goes down into
income brackets never before reach
ed. And, in the view of economists
who deal with facts, not hopes, it will
not be long before the people of
small and moderate means will have
to be hit harder still. The people
in the middle and high income
brackets are already paying just
about all the traffic will bear with
out total confiscation of income. We
can't substantially increase taxes on
industry without depriving it of the

LETS BE HONEST

The American people want to win
the war. On the whole they are
perfectly willing to make the ne
cessary sacrifices-go without al
most anything actually required TO
do the job. They will go without
sugar, they are willing to be ration
ed on coffee, soap or any other COM
monty used article. They are even
willing TO tie up their cars. If neces-
sary, to have the job completed. r
However, when the whole setup is
just a political racket, that puts an
other aspect on the situation.
Granted that huge supplies of sugar
