TARIFF FIGHT

The beet boys are back IN town.
Even before the new Congress
convenes, the beet sugar lobby is
booking rooms at the best hotels,
getting set for drive against Cor
dell Hull and his good neighbor
policy. 4 q
Through trade agreements, Hull
has reduced tariffs on cane sugar
from Latin American countries. The
tariff on Cuban sugar has been CIV
en- the maximum reduction to rs
cents hundred pounds. And the
so-called ''full-duty' countries, such
as Peru and the Dominican Re-
public, have received welcome cuts
from their high $3.50 tariff.
But Hull's trade agreement pow
ers expire again this year, as they
do every three years, and he must
seek renewal from Congress. This
gives the beet boys their chance.
Sensing the insurgent spirit of the
new. Congress, with its increased
Republican strength, the lobby will
try to ha,nstring the odd mans
authority.
In fact, they are preparing to take
on two fights at once. One will be
against Hull's concessions to our
Latin neighbors; the other against
price controls They want higher
sugar prices, and a scrapping OF
sugar subsidies. If ceilings are re-
moved the price of sugar will go
high enough to pay all production
costs, and farmers will no longer
have to suckle on government sub
sidy.
This is the lobby line. But it will
be fought to the bitter end by the

OUCH!

There doesn't seem to be much difference be-
tween the income tax we paid last March and the
one coming up except that the new is bigger
And we can't blame anybody but the Axis.
Starting next March, a married man with no
children and earning up to $4,000 will pay seven
times as much as he paid last March. And for
an income between $4,000 and $1,000 the taS will
be about two and one-half times what it is
But top of that, the government also will
be collecting the new percent Victory tax De-
auctions for that for everyone making more than
$l2 week will start New Years Day. Where the
tax is not deducted as in the case of people IN
business for themselves the payments must be made
quarterly along with the income tax
There is also a rebate feature connected with
the Victory tax. Everyone who pays it is entitled
to credit This is 25 percent of the tax for single
persons, 40 percent if married. An additional two
percent is allowed for each dependent. If person
insurance premiums, this credit be used as an
offset to the l943 income taxes payable in 1914 If
the credit is not used that way. it takes the form
of non-interest bearing bond redeemable after the
war
There are lower exemptions in the ew income
tax too Single persons will be allowed $780, mar
ried couples 200, and $3.50 for each dependent
Back in 1916, married couples would have been al
lowed $4,000 exemption if they made that much
This year it $500.
The new law raises the normal tax on ndvi-
duals from percent to 6, and the surtax rate from

Twenty one months ago the Axis Powers may
have looked upon American lend-lease aid to their
enemies as a cloud no bigger than mans hand

at the rate of ten billion dollars year. This great
sum is itself fraction 1t is only about one-seventh
of total present rate of expenditure for war.

cans will be overseas. Millions in training.

fort in human history.
The distribution and kind of lend-lease exports
are significant. In october 40 percent of it went
to Britain, 81 percent to Russia More than half
of the total military goods and of these Britain
sent unstated fraction to Russia Egypt India and
other Food sent to Britain has meant the
difference between enough to sustain the British
peoples intensive war effort and too little with
which to carry on Yet we have retained for our
own military and civilian needs 81 percent Of our
pork, 80 percent of four other voluntarily rationed
meats, and so percent of eggs We have given
without real deprivation, We have also sold for
cash and bartered under reciprocal lend-lease ar
lrangements about half much again of all commo-
dities as we have furnished by direct lend-lease.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeW
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81

Adverse aspects rule today as
the year closes months OF world
agony. The stars encourage retro
spection and regret.
HEART AND HOME Family re-
unions are fortunate under tn IS
sway although disappointments to
women are indicated. Leaves OF abb
sence and furloughs may be with
drawn or shortened for there are
portents Of activity in war Of
fensives. Under this CONFORMATION
painful memories should be elm
mated as the new year is well
coined with high hopes. Since as
trologers foretell that humanity is
to be purged of many faults and
weaknesses, the birth of a new
order is to be the outcome OF the
most terrible war i'll all history.
The Aquarium age promises spiri-
tual development and great adj
vancement for humanity.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through
the coming year in which the war
will reach the peak of terrible con-
flict, great activity will be sus-
tanned in all the war industries.
Much money will be in circulation,
but Uncle Sam will have great
financial anxieties. Changes. in the
worlds money systems will be
made, it is foretold. Capitalism will
continue to exist in a changed
form that encourages an equality
of distribution Accumulation OF
wealth viii be possible but pos
sessions will be heavily taxed for
generations to come, it is prophe-
sled.
! NATIONAL ISSUES: After h e
war social lines will be erased for
time, it is forecast, but they will
be restored in years of peace and
plenty True democracy must de-
mand that race consciousness and
religious differences be eradicdted
If lasting peace is to be estab-
lished but there are evil portents
that indicate fifth column work
in the United States which will
SOW seeds that may terminate long
after the war ends.
INTERNATIONAL FAIRS:
Since 1943 has been designated as
the year OF reckoning, existing con-
ditions seem to presage a much
longer period for the balancing of
international accounts. Certain for
eign astrologers foretell years OF
final readjustments in which the
United States will be the arbitel
of world destiny, the strongest OF
all powers. 1t may be well to pre-
pare for the worst and hope for
the best as many hidden forces are
at work which affect humanity
The new year is to bring events
never visioned even by sages and
philosophers, mystics and scien-
lists, astrologers prognosticate.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of unu-
sual experiences in which financial
matters should be managed with
special caution.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be ambitious and able
to reach success. They may be toe
popular for their best development
for they will be gifted and endowed
with charm

for the rich and powerful. Two

queens envious.

Oranges
Necessary
To Daily Diet
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

ORANGES PLAY an impor-
tant part In our war time nutri-
ton program because they con-
tain healthful natural sugars
and are high in Vitamin c. This
Wtamin is not stored by the
body. Therefore, some food con-
tanning il must be eaten each
day. Orange juice is a foremost
source.
Any food which carries much
natural sugar plays a leading
role in the sugar conservation
program now at hand. Expert
ments show that honey Is espe-
cially good as a sugar equivalent
in desserts made with plain
gelatin and orange and lemon
juice.
Here are recipes using little
graduated sugar but play
ing up oranges as the sweeten-
ing agent.

Fabric Frames

If THE man of your heart Is
away on service. why not dress
up his photograph with a smart
fabric Of red, white and blue?
The frame should be about
three inches wide. For a quilted
surface, place a piece of padding
under the striped cotton, cutting
ii the same size. Outline with
quilted stitching, using tn
quilter attachment. Finish the
inside and outside edges of the
fabric frame with heavy cording.
