U. $. Taxes Are Coinq
 Still Higher
By JACK STINNETT

NF4N All ASsN ASN%hs few months, you are going to hear more about taxes than you have heard for years and I'm afraid a lot of ii is going to be just plain unadulterated eyewash.
 The reasons are complicated, but the simplest one is that next year is election year and our na- tional legislators are not keen to anger any group of constituents with brutal tax program. More difficult to understand is the treasury's l05 billion dollar tax program, and Economic Stabiliz- CT Fred M. Vinson's insistence that il go through as proposed.
 Both treasury Secretary Mor- genthau and Vinson have made ii pretty clear that they are not nearly so interested in revenue as in holding the line against in- flation.
 If that is true, their tax pro- gram should be just about three times what it is Using round figures, the American people will put about 150 billion in their poe kets this fiscal year. If they buy everything in sight they can't spend more than about 90 billion of it. That leaves a surplus of 60 billion. Existing taxes (of all types) and war bonds will draw off something more than 35 bil- lion of that. That leaves 25 bil- lion that might be diverted into inflationary channels.
 The Treasury, Vinson and the administration say that 10.5 bil- lions of it will have to be skim med off if the nation is to be sav- ed from imitation. Tax leaders in Congress say no more than four or five billions will have to be dragged out of that kitty.
 At the moment, the weight of argument seems to be on the congressional side. If the public were shoveling out that 25 billion with coal scoop, the Treasury program wouldn't be half enough to head off the inflationary spir- al which has spelled want and starvation in many countries in this war.
 But the fact is that the public lsn't spending that way. Only recently, no less a person than Vinson himself announced that the imitation line was being held.
 How much of this is due to government measures is impossi- ble to say, but there's no doubt that a lot of it is due to native American intelligence.
 That's why some federal off cials and members of Congress are saying now that what we need isn't more taxes but con- tlnued drive against spending and lnsistence on saving for the day when we return to peace. and industry will need billions in sales to cross the gap from war production to civilian goods.
 There's even a definite under ground move in Treasury circles to abandon the bla-bla about the patriotism of buying war bonds and sell them for just what they are, one of the best investments that any government has offered.
 That there will be a tax in- crease goes without saying. That It won't be anything like what the Treasury has asked for and Vinson backed is also almost a
