/ Might Be Wrong BUT
By p. G. STROMBERG-

the highest incomes of their
lives, will be expected to pay
tax ON income received in a
banner year in year in which
they might conceivably find
themselves unemployed. This
loss will be impossible to re-
trieve and the burden of such
loss will fall upon the Shout
ders of those who have carried
and will continue to carry the
major portion of the tax load.
Two other very pertinent fac
tors should be considered. First
is the spectacle of the hundreds
of men in Cleveland, Ohio, who
have repeatedly defied the United
States Government in refusing
to file income tax returns.
What is to be done with them?
Other taxpayers throughout the
country are tremen-
Some Are dously interested
"Agin" in determining how
All Plans the government
will deal with
such recalcitrants. Most of
them probably are possessed of
no property upon which col
lection could be made through
judgment. The Government can
secure judgment but can the
Government enforce collection?
The other factor is one of the
fundamentals upon which the
"Ruml Plan" was proposed.
Many people make an effort to
avoid debt. Yet, with the in
come tax levied on the preced-
ing years income, every per-
son liable to the tax is indebted
for whatever amount Of tax
might be due. It il. impossible
for the citizen to remain out Of
debt. Through any pay-as-you-
go method this unfortunate con-
dition will be eliminated.
Income tax collected AT THE
SOURCE will insure Uncle
Sam his collections. It will
make it possible for all to reach
the end of the current year
without facing the spectre Of a
heavy tax debt. It will re-
move any possibility Of a repe-
tition of the Cleveland situa-
ton. 1t will give a little breath
ing spell to millions without
imposing any hardship on the
national treasury. The argu-
ment that few of the very
wealthy men would benefit is
not sufficient reason to deny
the benefit to millions in the
middle brackets.

band of host of girls that make
high principals their code of liv-

for their own the little building
that once housed the Rockville

Montgomery Ave. to it's present
position on the school grounds.
The renovation of this building
will be done by Jack Wisner's
"shop" class, and the girls will
decorate it.
Redland Troop 165
Another troop active in the up
per part of the county is Redland

Fats And Copper
Are Greatly Needed

Salvage continues to be one of

copper. "The Nations stock pile

Glycerine is essential to the man

For And
Against

those who conceive the "Ruml

tanned by wiping of the 1912
tax obligation win be gradually
Offset. Experts have figured
that it would take more than
thirty years to completely alb
sorb the underwriting Of the
1919 forgiveness"
The fact that forgiveness Of
1925 tax would prove a boon
to millions Of citizens, accounts
for the general approval Of the
"Ruml Plan" That no suggestion,
except notifications Of the same
idea, has been brought for
ward with any impressive sup
port is a matter Of recent rec
ord. The one big and unanswer-
able feature Of the Ruml Plan
is that when the year ends no
man win be obligated to the
United States for income tax
except those who win owe a
balance when the years record
is completed. Proponents fig
ure that Uncle Sam stands to
lose q great deal more from
those who ultimately win be
expected to pay on the proceed
ing years income and have no
money with which TO pay. These
taxpayers will run into mil
lions. War workers, enjoying

= inability of members of Con-
gress to reach decisions in
regard to taxation is to be
taken as an indication of the
manner in which they will ap-
proach decisions on postwar
problems we will be in sorry
state indeed. For weeks the ques-
ton Of ways and means of get
ting income taxpayers on a
"pay as you go"
Tax Debate basis has been de-
Goes bated. All are
On and On agreed that it is
impossible to force
people to pay two years in one.
It is therefore necessary to find
some method of adjustment.
OF the many suggestions made
the Ruml plan or some modifi-
cation of it has received the
widest approval. One day re-
ports have indicated that an
agreement had been reached.
The next day word came out
that this man or that group
was against some suggested
plan. Finally the House COM
mittee gave up and has thrown
the entire question up to Con-
gress as a whole. Just why
our representatives cannot find
a reasonable method Of arriv-
ing at some conclusion is hard
to understand.
There are so many reasons
(some urgent) for early enact
ment of legislation designed to
place all our new millions Of
income tax payers on a cash
basis, Consideration Of the peo-
pie who are carrying the bur-
den should be the prime mott
waiting influence although con-
sideration Of the taxpayer seems
not to have any place among
the capitals expert planners.
On the opposite side the hard
fact that Uncle Sam will lose
millions Of dollars (perhaps
billions) when the war is over
should be sufficient reason to
urge the lawmakers to action.
Just how many people under
stand what the "Ruml Plan" is
no one knows. 1t can well be
stated, however, that most peo-
pie obliged to pay a healthy
sum have followed the various
suggestions and know the fun
damentals Of this plan. Briefly
the "Ruml Plan" calls for the
,wiping of (forgiveness) Of the
entire 1912 tax which will per-
nit taxpayers to Immediately
begin payment Of current assess
ments. The greatest objection
raised to this method is that
the United States Treasury
would close" money already due.

Milk Control
Won't Lessen
Home Supply
BY ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-You are
not going to notice the new milk
control unless you want to have
an egg-nog party come Christmas,
according to the War Food Ad-
ministration. Your ordinary milk
supply will hold up if the plan
works out.
You probably won't notice much
more butter, either. Your dealer
in the 10 initial quota areas, if
he comes within the restrictions,
can sell as much milk as he sold
in June, the peak production
month. His cream sales have been
cut back to rs per cent of June
sales. Sales have risen one per
cent a month since June; thus
the consumption cut back will
amount to very little.
It is not certain that the short
milk production of this season will
supply all the quota allows. You
can help the plan work, and avoid
rationing, by cutting your milk de-
mands.
THINGS-TO-COME DEPT.
In your album of postwar plan
ming, you might include footnotes
on possibilities of more economi-
cal building. The War Production
Board, working with construction
experts in each field, has audited
the specifications for structural
steel, reinforced concrete, and
structural lumber.
They have found in some cases
that the demanded strength could
be safely cut down with careful
supervision, effecting savings of
material. They plan to look into
the possibilities of making h e
same savings by changes in the
specifications for masonry a n d
plastering. So far they have con-
cerned themselves with large-unit
government building, but the idea
has possibilities for other types.
ODDS AND ENDS
Congress has made the fatherly
gesture of providing funds for ma
ternity and infant care for 200, 1000
additional wives and babies of

Britain Stocks Up Food For Attack

; is still necessary to get every bit
of value out of the food that is
available. Some of the suggestions
made by the Food Ministry might
prove helpful to American house
wives, as we'll as to English, dur
ing this winter OF almost universal
shortages. The Food Ministry rec
cmmends:
Don't go to work or start the
day without breakfast. Forget the
usual juice and coffee breakfast
and eat something sustaining such
as beans, potatoes, fish, or Lend
Lease dried eggs. If you Ii k e
fruit, home preserves can come
III to exc out rationed prunes, figs
and other dried fruit.
Do, especially if you're an early
riser, eat a substantial mid-morn-
ing snack of raw cabbage or graf
ed carrot sandwich.
Don't eat sandwich and pie
for your midday meal, and don't
eat at your work bench. You need
the break.
Do lunch at the canteen and eat
something hot. This stretches ra-
ton points at home and gives the
housewife a relief from having to
plan new sandwich Filings.
Do eat at least three vegetables
a day as long as they are avail
able. Eat more pulses tthe edible
seeds of peas, beans and other
similar vegetables.).
Do make the fullest possible use
of your dried milk, especially in
desserts.
Do serve thick vegetable soups
at least once a day, preferably
at night.
Do include raw cabbage in your
nightly salad since it has more
vitamin C than lettuce. Eat more
parsley and raw sprouts for the
same reason. Remember vitamin
c improves the complexion. puts
a sparkle in your eye, preserves
the figure and helps ward Off IN
lection, especially colds.
