The gas rationing edict Is just

very little complaining by the
average motorist. Five thou

you analyze il. II Is almost
twice what the East has been
getting.
Putting average mileage at Is
to the gallon, IL means about six
gallons a week, where the East
has been getting four. OF course.

trips, a run to the movies or q

IL will meet the essential needs
and that is what the government
wants.

report, such as the 35-mile speed
limit, compulsory inspection Of

sounds like it has great posi-

WASHINGTON. Sept. IL (UP)
The Senate finance committee
indicated today that it would
ignore President Roosevelt's re-
quest for high bracket income
taxes to put top limit Of SIS, OO(
on the amount OF annual income
any individual might retain.
The committee has completed
action on individual rates in the
House-approved revenue bill and
hopes to dispose of remaining
minor and technical amendments
today and tomorrow.
FEW ABOVE $4,000
Asked whether any attempt
would be made to include the pro-
posed $25, 900 top limit, Chairman
Walter r. George Cd Of Georgia
told reporters:
"LOok at those rates and you
will see that not many will be
able to keep more than SIS, 600"
Tax tables prepared by the
treasury indicated that under the
new high rates proposed by the
Senate committee a married man
with two dependents whose net
income - before deductions for
personal exemptions but after de-
auctions for contributions, taxes,
interest paid. bad debts, ETC.
amounted TO $50 900 a wear, would
pay $26,636 in federal income
taxes, leaving him $23 1854.
But persons with in c ON s
slightly above that level--includ-
ing Mr.. Roosevelt, whose salary
as President is $4,000 a year
would be able to retain SIS 900
or more.

War Costs Soar
RooseveIt's 100 Billion
Estimate for I943 Puts
Spotlight on Treasury Plan
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press star Correspondent

President Roosevelt's estimate of
500 ,0O0, 000,0O0 as the 1943 cost
of war and government gave spec
ltacular emphasis today to the
Itreasury's demand for compulsory
savings in addition to other I'M
lprecedented taxation.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. accepted com
pulsory saving" as a proper de-
scription of treasury detectives for
the first time in a press conference
in which he told questioners that
prevention of initiation was as vital
a job for his department as
financing the war.
BURIED IN FIGURES
Mr.. Roosevelt's 100 billion dollar
estimate of 1913 expenditures was
buried in his statements on prices
and initiation this week and was
not generally remarked. The sum
is Enthusiastically large but there is
no doubt here that ii will be raised
and spent on schedule.
Disagreement develops around
methods of raising the money and
the extent to which it should come
from taxes. voluntary subscrip-
tons to government issues and
compulsory savings.
On January 5 Mr.. Roosevelt told
Congress he planned to spend
S58, 927. 100000 in the current
fiscal year, which began July /,
and that in the Is months be-
ginning last January he expected
to spend SIT, 0Oo,o00,00O.
SPENDING ESTIMATES
The treasury estimates now that
spending in the II months of this
fiscal year will amount to ST.
600, 100000. And at the outside
there is no estimate of more than
$1,000, 600, 900 in tax revenue in
1943. Congressional agreement to
that sum remains to be obtained.
But IL Congress enacts a ST.
100000 tax bill including the
sum to be raised by compulsory
savings, the treasury would ex-
lpect to raise the remaining funds
to be spent in this fiscal year from
sale of war bonds and other obi
cations. And voluntary subscrip-
tons for war bonds are budgeted
at $4,000, 000,000-an average of
81 .000, 100000 a month.
War bond sales are not coming
close to meeting that quota now.
The big month was last January,
right after Pearl Harbor. Reused
by angry patriotism, lot of peo-
pie bought bonds. A lot more
people Of considerable wealth also
bought war bonds in January not
only because of the Japanese at
tack on Pearl Harbor, but also
because there Is a limit on the
money which any individual may
invest in certain treasury issues
and those with ample surplus
funds usually buy their limit inI
the first month of the year.
SALES DIMINISH
January sales Of war bonds
were 1850, 100000. Sales dimin-
ished month by month thereafter
to $3.50, 100000 in April Last May
the treasury fixed a monthly quota
Of $600,000,000 and il was ex-
ceeded in that month by $34. $780,
900. War bond sales began to gol
up then and in July the treasury
fixed a monthly quota OF $1,000
900, 900.
That quota has not been met
vet and has been lowered twice.
Sales in July were $500, SOC, 900
End the August quota was reduced
to S815, 100000. August sales
were only S697 ,255, 900 and Sep
TENDERS quota was reduced again
TO SITS, 10000

WHAT REMAINS

The tables showed that a mar
ried man with two dependents and
a net income of 100000 would
have $31.93 left after paying fed
eral income taxes; the $500, 900
man would have S59.S06 left: the
81 100000 man would have S92,-
029 remaining, and any one earn
ing $5,000,000 a year would give
Uncle Sam all but $349.806.
The Senate committees final
action on individual rates was
adoption of a new surtax schedule
designed TO cushion the impact of
the additional 5 per cent victory
tax on the lowest bracket of tax
payers. Instead OF paying "a cents
in federal income tax out OF his
first dollar of taxable income, I'M
der the Senate surtax rates the
taxpayer would contribute p
cents.
But after paying on $500 at the
lower rate, his tax would jump a
bit higher than proposed in the
House bill, until at $1,000 the
adjustment would be removed.
The surtax rates leap progress
sively from that point to a top of
81 per cent on highest bracket
income.
ADVANTAGES ELIMINATED
The net effect Is TO ease the
surtax burden on single persons
with income up. TO 81 500. For a
married man the benefit would
disappear in the $500 to $1,000
bracket and for a married man
with two dependents the adj
vantage would be gone after he
had reached the $1,000 TO $4,000
bracket.
Because ~ the slightly In
Creased burden on persons above
these income levels, the changes
will add about S33 1000, 900 10 the
yield of the bill.
Other changes made late ycster-
day involved revenue increases

Your Victory Garden
Fireside Planning NOU Will Help

that you know Just where your seeds
are; and can move them about, into
the sun or shade as they may require
They may be kept where with little
trouble watering can be done and fire.
quent inspections made to insure the
seedlings are growing with proper vigor
Damping off Is seldom encountered:
spindly plants are unknown and growth
is more vigorous and rapid. An outdoor
box started four weeks later than an
indoor box will often have its plants
ready to set out only two weeks later
than the indoor plants.
Fill your box within an inch of the
top with loamy soil, well sifted.
Seeds in the outdoor box should be
sown thinly so that it is not necessary
to transplant the seedlings twice.
Drills made with the edge OF a ruler,
spaced an inch or two apart. will en-
able you to sow more seeds in the box
than If you broadcast the seeds. You
may also sow several varieties, and
mark the name and color on each row.
Where you sow only one kind of seed
in box the seed may be broadcasted;
and this will probably give the seed
lings the maximum amount of room to
develop. This method is often followed
with very fine seeds, like petunias,
which are scattered on the surface and
covered by raking the soil lightly with
the edge of a ruler, or stiff cardboard,
then firming it.
After the seeds are sown. and COW
cred with soil, the dirt should be firmed
over them.
The next step is to soak the soil with
water, without washing the seed out
of place. The quickest and best way is
to lower the box in a tub of water
until it soaks up enough from the bot
tom to wet the surface
The box should be watered daily An
outdoor box which is filled with loamy
soil which lets excess water pass
!, through freely can hardly be over
watered.
In the spring the box may be kept
in the full sun all day, SO long as tenn
peratures do not rise above 80 degrees
Seeding plants first develop a pair
of what are known as seed leaves"
These are not really leaves. but look
like leaves. They are followed by a pair
of true leaves, and it is general rule
that seedlings may be transplanted af-
ter the true leaves form.
In the outdoor seed box, however, If
the seeds have been sown thinly, the
Seeding plants may be left without
being disturbed until they are two or
three inches high and have formed
sturdy roots. They will reach this size
faster if they are not subjected to the
shock of transplanting to another box
or pot.
When the little plants are large
enough, and their places in the garden
have been prepared, carry the seed box
directly to the place where they are
to be set out. This will enable you to
lift them in the garden soil with the
slightest possible disturbance of their
roots, and the least possible shock.

tary adoption of enriched bread, all
soldiers will now get increased amounts
of the indispensable B vitamins, as
well as more of the iron needed for
good red blood
Since our young, active and healthy
troops require plenty of the right kind
of food-energy, bread is popular Every
soldier consumes an average Of eight
slices of bread a day, which supplies
about $50 Of the 1000 or more Galleries
needed in his daily diet.
When made from enriched white
flour or with enriched yeast, these
eight slices of bread furnish at least
one-quarter of the vitamin Bl, or thia-
mine, required daily by the soldier,
even though the bread itself supplies
only about one-seventh Of his calories,
or units of food-energy. These eight
slices provide at least one-sixth of
the iron needed, and about one-tenth
of the niacin, another important vita
min of the vitamin B group.
If even more bread is consumed,
greater amounts of these valuable nu-
trients will, of course, be obtained. The
use of milk in the making of the
bread, as is customary, assures sup
ply of vitamin b. or riboflavin, and
oLoo VI VIC AcCSSSdIy lOOQ-ululeIalS,
calcium and phosphorus.
Fortunately, enriched white bread Is
not restricted to army use, but is avail
able to all consumers, who should ask
their grocers or bakers for this nu-
tritionally improved product Civilians
as well as soldiers need superior diets
in these parlous times.
Enriched white breads not only have
all the dietary advantages of whole
wheat, but are better in some respects.
These white breads are easily digested,
attractive in flavor and taste, and fur
nish greater abundance Of certain
food minerals.
The word enriched" does not mean
that this bread is actually richer or
is fattening.
