ANOTHER TAX IDEA!
It's all done by suction pumpl Tho
treasury department has proposed
that congress require that 10 per cent
of your wages and other income be
deducted at the source and paid to
Uncle Sam for income taxesl
No painsl No sleepless nightsi
No complicated mathematical prob
lemsl No troublesome routinesl No
blanks. (Just come in and bring

Randolph Paul, the treasury ex-
pert behind the latest idea, says
there will be $4,000, 900 novice tax
payers under our new laws, all in
the lower brackets, and that, as few
Of them can save any money for
taxes, the only way to collect Is to
take it at the source. It's q per-
feet tax-collection plan. Ball-bear-
ing, high-speed and frictionless, 1t

It makes it easier for everybody
except the boss and the bookkeep-
ing department. Well, they're too
groggy to notice a little extra work
anyhow.
Under Mr.. Paul's proposal the
boss handles the whole business.
He does the deducting, answers
your squawks, tries to smooth
your wounded feelings and then
prepares certificates, affidayits
and miscellaneous papers to be
fled and forwarded to all neces-
sary addresses.

Not that you don't have to bother
to make out a tax blank. You
have to do that just the same as
ever. The new plan makes it more
exciting. If, when you figure up
what you owe Uncle Sam, you find
the 10 per cent share of your salary
has overpaid the tax, you apply for
refund. If you find you're still shy
few dollars you send 'em in.
(And IL you're still baffied you
retire to a cool dry place and
await further advices.)
It probably never will be passed.
But if it is, the folks will take it
without undue lamentations. War is
war and it costs money.
"Bus Lines Pooled "-Headline.
All the road hogging is to be
done under one head now.
The government again--this time
through Donald M. Nelson-warns
that autos may be seized unless ev-
cry driver cuts down his speed and
uses his tires as little as possible.
How about having the cops stop and
take the names of all those drivers
who still ignore all the warnings?
And then beginning the seizures
from that list?
