THEY DESERVE NOTICE.

The consumer has many problems
And so has the retail merchant
The draft has taken thousands of store
workers, and others have left their jobs for
the big pay offered by war industries. 1t is
INTERESTINGLY difficult to obtain new equip
.nient, and TO keep old equipment in repair,
especially that of mechanical nature.
The prcie of practically everything the re-
taller sells is frozen, and in many instances
the ceiling price allows little or no profit.
It's tough job to keep his shelves filled, as
more and more brands and products go off
the market.
In the face of all this, the merchant is
doing a remarkable job. Long before the
OPA, retail merchandising went to work on
a voluntary anti-inflation program of its
own. Stores of all kinds and sizes increased
efficiency, reduced overhead, and cut al
ready modest profits in order to keep prices
in check. While many factors encouraged
initiation which brought about government
price control, retail merchandising was not
one of them.
Today, reatil merchants, whether in
dependent or chain, are doing an almost
superhuman job in supp lyink their eusto-
mers and their communities ITheir efforts
deserve notiee-and commehdadon.

A PERTINENT QUESTION

Representative Ramsey, Democrat, of
West Virginia, has introduced a bill in con-
gress authorizing the Treasury Department
to operate lottery with war bonds as the
prizes.
Some Kew Westers. as we'll as people
elsewhere, will throw up their hands in holy
horror over such proposal, forgetful OF the
fact that lotteries played a most important
part in the founding of the Uffted States
Indeed, it was the lottery that put our Ma
ticn, when it started out with 13 states, on
its financial feet.
For many years The Citizen has rec
commended national lottery to relieve lax
alton. But lottery is gambling, one may
object Yes, it is gambling, but why should
not the government get the benefit of the
profits when the gambling is resorted ID
just the same, whether or not it is sanction
ed by the government?
The lottery, however, is form CT
gambling that does not entail the objection
able features of so many other types OF
"
times murder, with the loss of sleep by the
players, with its cheating and with the de-
mand for graft by dishonest public officials.
In Cuba, in Mexico, in most of the
South American countries, in Ireland, when
it had it's sweepstakes people buy or bought
lottery tickets as though they were an in
vestment. If they lost, they kept on buying
in the hope that some day they would win
prize, which represented many hundreds
of times the amount of their investment.
And in nine times out of 10, the buyers of
lottery tickets do not indulge in any other
form of gambling.
But back to the practically of the lot
terry from a government viewpoint in these
dark days of the war. The prizes now pro-
posed are war bnods. 1t has been said re-
peatedly that too many of the bonds that
are being sold are going to the banks, which
help to promote initiation, and too few of
the bonds are being purchased by the peo-
pie, which act as a curb on initiation.
Then, let the government resort TO a
lottery to sell bonds, and you may feel sure
that people who never gave a thought 10
buying bonds will purchase lottery tickets.
The fact is the purchases would become
general throughout the country 80.
Every one of the states in the Union
conducted lotteries back at the beginning of
our independence and Tor many years,
decades, thereafter. Even the staid state
of Virginia had 60 different forms of lot
tor nd fo Lot IoI,
for the war, it may be pointed out that the
lottery paid for the War of the Spanish Sue
cession in it's entirety by the side that Won
The lottery helped the United States in
its darkest days, why not let the lottery help
us again?

PRESIDENT OF RADIO
SIS. 1000 SALARY LIMITATION
LIMIT ON INVESTED INCOME

President Roosevelt has an
nounced that he will talk to the
American public before January
l to explain the $4,000 limita-
ton on salaries which has been
put in force by James F. Byrnes,
director OF economic stabiliza-
ton.
1t is incorrect to speak of the
executive order as a $25, 900 linn
itation on salaries. This gives the
impression that taxs,e insurance
premiums, debts, etc, must be
paid from the $4,000. The true
gross salary limit the Federal
Government is enforcing is APP
proximately $4,000.
After taxes, insurance prem
iums and debts have been paid,
this leaves the idividual ap-
proximately $4,000.
The fact that the President has
placed a SGT 900 ceiling on salary
incomes but has not placed a
ceiling on investment incomes is
causing reberverations in Con-
gresS. All incomes in any nation
come from one of two sources:
Incomes from previous invest
ments and earned annual in
comes. 1t should be pointed out
that limitations on invested in
comes do not hamper the profit
motive or the progress and i'm
provement in production, where
as the reverse is true on salary
limitations. Salary limitations
can hurt production.
The President explains his po-
sition this way:
He says he has the power to
limit salaries but that he does
not have the power to limit in
vested incomes, that invested
incomes are jobs for Congress.
1t is true that last year the
President recommended that
Congress tax invested incomes
to such an extent that it would
be limited to the same figure as
salary incomes. 1t may be rea-
sonably expected that he will,
within the next month, suggest
the taxing of invested incomes
