BETTER BE WATCHING
THE PENNIES

Not far away is the day when 20 per
cent Of paychecks will be held to cover
taxes. Whether the plan goes into effect
i'm July as is now presumed, or is delayed
a few months really is immateral. All
the argument in congress as to the tax
basis does not alter the one thing upon
which the debaters do agree, name
ly that there must be a withholding order
to collect the dollars with which every
body must pay their taxes.
Actually the plan won't prove as pain
ful to regular bona fide tax payers as
may be anticipated. These folks have
always paid their taxes and would expect
to pay them this year as usual. Unpleas-
ant part Of the procedure is that the
amounts certainly are heavy so payment
even in the old manner would be pretty
depressing.
But the man to whom taxes are new
and who already has done a bit of kick
ing about bearing a part of the war load,
will find the payroll deduction method
pretty unpleasant He might as we'll be
planning now to get in the right financial
condition to take a smaller paycheck
when the time comes. No one will pay
his tax for him, and the wise man will be
the one who has anticipated the reduced
family budget and is prepared to endure

proceed, fair weather and foul, but the

lean people can learn, grow tighter and
more menacing from day to day.
1t is plain. even to laymen, that q Jap
anese fighter base on kiska, combined

ties there not only represent an ag

GIN LAW ENDING


The gin marriage law, which never
served any useful purpose. is on its last
legs and its repeal has been voted in both
houses of the legislature Governor War
rens signature will put Il stop to this
farce and the only tears will be shed in
Nevada and Arizona.
The three-day wait to get a marriage
license has doomed the cupid business
in the neighboring states. If they could
Mt be wed Immediately here the couples
went across the state line where they
could quickly tie the knot.
The original intent cf the gin law was
to prevent couples from wedding while
under the Influence of intOXicantS, who
might repent when they sObered. Such
marriages are to be deplored but there
was no reason to punish everyone to pro-
tect a few misguided souls.
All these statutes with blue law back
ground are based on high ideals but sell
dom work out in practice. The less at
tempt there is to regulate people the bet
ter off things appear to be. In making
new laws the legislature might bear that
in mind. and there won't be so many to
repeal in the future

MORGENTHAU WANTS
MORE TAX DOLLARS

Secretary of the Treasury MOrgenthau
says he wants some 16 billion more tax
dollars. Apparently with full admins
tration sanction, he announces that more
of the war costs should be placed upon
a pay-as-we-go basis, rather than leave
too much to be paid during postwar
years.
We're not quite ready to accept Mr.
Morgenthau's proposal with automatic,
wholehearted acclaim. There were few
objections when taxes were heavily boost
ed before; but knowing that too much is
sometimes too much we had better have
a closer look at the added burden. There
is an old story about the last straw
breaking the camel's back, and this may
be just such a case
Possibly we should and can bear
heavier tax burden without undue mega
tive effect. On the other hand, possibly
too much taxing will slow down the in
comes from which taxes are derived.
And again, possibly the proposal is only
a case Of taX-spenders gladly grabbing
as long as the public will give.
We don't pretend to know the right
answer as yet, but believe it behooves
everyone to examine this new proposed
boost a little more carefully than in the

People VINO never had to pay appre-
