times c. c. Galloway has bent over
backward to help those who were

badly needed by his own business
and against the advice Of friends
and used it to clothes. house and
feed those who had asked him f.,r
assistance The reciptants have
shown their appreciation in differ
ent ways. some have been crate
full while others have just forgotten
about the whole thing. while Others
have turned and bit the helping
hand, with vehemence. Some "
far as to justify themselves by
spreading tales which more apriy
describes themselves c. c. Gallo
way simply says "A person needing
help has been helped. you can nev-
er tell what they will do when they
get UP on their feet end get their
bearings again. don't want anyone
to feel obligated to me, that is not
the spirit OF assistance, we all nCed

An example Of his ACTION ara
NOT WORDS deeds was brought 10
light a few years ago when Jobs
were Hard TO Get A large place
ment Of girls were made in desir-
able Jobs. A year later the manag-
ar Of the store asked the girls If
they knew who was responsible for
their placement They didn't
know. w.-... even after a year. c.
c. Galloway was responsible. The
men who organized Omaha's first
worthwhile Community House, say
that c. c. Galloway was the prime
figure in bringing il about. He has
not grasped this as q means to glor-
ify himself. when there is a labor
shortage, as is the case during the
present work or fight era, he has
dozens OF calls for help placement
but he does not Try to impress thoss
hired that they are obligated 20
him.
When he was president or the
NAACP it ran up membership in
four figures he was working
for the 'uplift of his Race the same
as the rest OF the members.
An active Race deputy sheriff in
Douglas County was only & distant
dream to many people until c. {,
Galloway took the bull by the
horns As you know. he has been
an outspoken exponent OF Pro-rata
employment for 40 years. The first
question asked by him OF any candi-
date who asks him for assistance
is Not How Much Money Can You
Let Me Have -.." But How
many OF my people will you en-
ploy?" Ask the candidates 1t

A FAITH UNSHAKEN

There Is no Better Proof q c. c.
Galloway's qualifications for public
office than the fact that he holds
the respect Of most OF Nebraska :
public officials. friend ano foe alike
They respect him because they know
that he is Honest and Sincere in his
Desire to advance the welfare Of
his people. They know that any
man who has remained unshaken in
his faith and convictions for more
than 40 years is entitled to respect
whether he gets it or not.

vessel armed with four-inch guns
and capable of q speed of 35
knots. She was equipped also
with IL torpedo tubes.
The vessel was the second OF

'rent-gouging" n d "profiteer-
ing in an accompanying state
ment, he said he intended to
strike hard and rapidly" to
correct situations in defense
areas. He is required to give
state and local authorities so

do not do so, the law empowers
him to impose federal regula-

enlisted men, civilian personnel

civilian residents Of defense

it.
There Is no form of profit
eering that strikes at these
groups more severely than un-
warranted increases in rents. In
sections of the country where
large defense plants and army
environments have sprung up
with resultant sharp increases
in population. rents have soar
ed beyond all reason, placing .
distressing burden upon men and
women giving their best efforts

The boundaries Of defense

present $3.50 income tax exemp-
ton for single persons and ST.
500 for married persons, with
$400 additional credits for de-
pendents.
However, he did ask removal
of the 10 per cent earned in
come credit, and, renewing a
proposal beaten by Congress last
year, urged that married cou-
piles be required to file joint re-
turns.
Under his plan, the first dol
lar of a persons taxable income
would be taxed at the rate of Is
per cent, instead of the present
minimum rate of 6 per cent. Tax
rates would increase rapidly un-
til a maximum rate of 80 per
cent would apply to income in
excess of $5,00O,000.
60 PER CENT JUMP
Overall, the increase in in
come taxes would average so
per cent, but the increase is more
than 100 per cent in the lower
brackets where the vast majer-
ity of people are affected.
Fifteen items were marked by
Morgenthau for new or heavier
excise taxes. They included new
taxes Of / cent a bottle on soft
drinks. Candy and chewing
gum would be taxed Is per cent
on the manufacturers sales pric-
'es. The gasoline tax of IN
cents gallon would be doubled
to 3 cents. Other increases
would affect Photographic ap-
paratus, pipe line transportation,
telephone and telegraph service,
oil, beer, wines, distilled spirits,
transportation of person, cigars,
smoking tobacco, cigarettes, and
cigarette papers.
The Secretary's plan also
would boost estate and gift taxes
about 80 per cent, by increasing
the range of taxes from the pres
ent 3-to-77 per cent estate tax
scale to a 8-to-80 per cent
scheme, and by changing the ex-
emptions.
Gift tax rates, which are three
fourths O fthe estate tax rates in
