Tax Simpli6cation

Ever since the taXpaying public began working on Form 1040-ES, the air has been blue with bitter protests about what the Treasury befuddled Congress into do- ing to the simple pay-as-you-earn tax plan with which it started. The recrim- nations are increasing now, because with the income tax estimates out of the way we. have time to think up words with which to express our opinion of the situ- ation. Mingled with diatribeS, now and then, is the beginning of constructive suggestion as to what can be done about the evil In The Tax Review, publication of the Tax Foundation, Prof. Harley l.. Lutz of Princeton offers some ideas which appear sound and simple. He boilS them down into three specific proposals: CD Absorb the Victory Tax into the withhold ing rate.
 (2) Let the withholding rate become the normal (and Victory) tax.
 (3) Eliminate the requirement that .Ae average wage or salary earner file ~ear-end return.
 Thus briefly stated, we do not believe that Professor Lutz'S proposals are en- tirely adequate. But they do form the basis for a workable revision of the pres- ent system. What they seem to mean, in effect, is this:
 Virtually everybody now pays Vic- tory Tax on one base, normal" income tax on second base and first bracket "Surtax" on third base. That is, all three of these now have become normal" taxes, but each has to be computed on different net income with differing cred it's, exemptions and deductions. Super ficially, disregarding the complication of the three bases, these normal" taxes ag- gregate 24 per cent of net income-5 per cent for Victory Tax, 6 per cent "nor- mal," l3 per cent first bracket "surtax".
 All right. Let's drop the pretenses and the complications. Let's say frankly that the normal" income tax, after basic ex- emptions and credits is 24 per cent which it is-and let's withhold that 24 per cent just as, now, Vt withhold 20 per cent. Let's take an average situa- tlon-just as we do on the short form now in use-and say thet this withhold Ing covers all tax due from persons whose income Is not more than an amount to he computed - just as we now say that persons who earned under SO much need not fife l040-ES Persons thus paid in fun need flle no return of any n1fk This leaves certain loophcles, which #AN HAaeaserN |n g 6nteHeA|NN EA'ele.

The Boys on Two Fronts

Many assert they are tired of reading about war and juvenile delinquency. And most of us would like to see an end of both. It is not a pleasant thing, however, to contemplate the war scene, our boys removed from an agreeable and satisfy ing life at home entering an entirely diff ferent life, some in camps at home, some on ships, some flying through the air at all hours of the day and night, an> some n the midst of activities in one of the var theaters. Then there are the iuve- niles on the home front. Many of them are just waiting for the chance to get into the war activities, while others are doing all they can to make life miserable for everybody, and for themselves too, you might say. Sad but true the juvenile, the pre- juveniles and these not SO juvenile are busy on the home front destroying property; sometimes silly childish prankS, but destructive nonethleSs, and other times committing more advanced acts of depreciation, such as turning over tombstones, stealing, setting fire, and such like.
 It seems difficult to control these home front menaces at the present time. They seem to go with war times. It is called the spirit of the age. Most communities are faced with like conditions in this re- Spect, and there is constant talk of stricter vigilance and harSher punish ment for under-age offenders. This con- dition is featured daily in the papers, and social agencies through their leaders point out the seriousness of conditions. The Catholic press joins with the secular press on this question of juvenile delin- quency Two major articles discussing the matter appeared in the last issue of the Jesuit weekly, America" And both writers stated that large portion of the blame rests on the parents since children begin early in life to pattern their be- havior after that of their parents
 Added up you might say the service boys are doing a good job on the war front; but some of the juveniles on the home front are doing pretty poor job.

Next-Year's Garden

Victory Gardens do not constitute a one-shot program. The demand for food during 1944 will be even greater than it was this year. Thus officials who are concerned with the country's food sup plies are beginning to urge that now is the time to start planning next years garden.
 Thousands of persons who lacked gar den experience made some mistakes this year. They are in position to profit from their errors and, as the mil itary experts say, consolidate their posi- ton. Until freezing weather 1943 gardens will continue to produce, although most crops have already been harvested. Decaying vegetable matter should not be spaded under for it's soil improving value.
 By the time freezing temperatures come, gardens should be cleared of every thing except the root crops that can stand the cold, the ground should be pre- pared for its season of rest and recuper- ation, and when outdoor work is not pos sible, gardeners may sit by the fire and think about what they will do another year.
 Virtually all who enjoyed fresh vege- tables, grown by their own efforts this year, will be eager to do even more toward aiding the nations food program for 1944. And the sooner the task is started the easier its completion will be.

Man Who Came to Dinner

The man who came to dinner is nov ing away. He is, as almost everybody knows, Harry Hopkins, former New York social worker. MT. Hopkins dropped in at the big white house at 1900 Penn sylvania Ave. one weekend in May, 1940. His host, an old acquaintance named Roosevelt, is supposed to have remarked in that casual way one has with week. end guests who always heretofore have departed with normal promptitude: Come on, Harry, Sent for another suit case and stay on"
 Harry did. Week after month he lin- gered. He courted from his temporary abode, was married there, and his wife moved in. Three years passed, and four months, and five days. Then, at last, it became known that Harry had hired a home of his own in Georgetown and was going to move out.
 Well, so long, Harry. Come again. It's really our house, you know. We keep it in repair and pay for its upkeep. We let your host live there so he will be near his work. We enjoyed having you with us. Do come again, when we have another war.

 But the people who above all al- low their religion to spoil their mor- aliky are those who emphasize cer- tain aspects of their faith and neg lect other aspects. Generally they emphasize creeds. church attend arce, devotion to religious. customs, and neglect kindness. love, toler- ance, understanding end justice. Worst of al, they consider them. selves blameless because they hold fast t0 the letter.

THE POPE A PRISONER
: (HartfOrd Courant)

(H0TtfOrd C0urant)
 Mussolini, dead or alive, is a lia- bility to the Nazis. Yet in one thing, Hitler is consistent. The erstwhile Duce in the Fuehrer's hands, sup posing that the Nazi story is true, substantiates a little longer the dis astrously deflated pretensions of German tyranny. And so long as the Nazis pretend that their tyran- ny-the Republican Fascist Party" --is government of Northern Italy -the straw-man, Mussolini, will still do as Q symbol of the evil they seek to perpetuate. On the other hand, the Nazis' unwelcome ''pro- tection' extended, force majeure, to the Vatican, seat of Catholic Chris tionity, is about as insane a piece could commit.
 With the Vatican radio shut down and all communication with the outside world cut off, the whole of Christendom and not merely Catholics throughout the world = may at length perceive the true vi- sage of Antichrist. Gestapo and other Prussian-N -Nazi military ele- ments now surround the Holy See, forbidding all intercourse with the governments of other nations. His Holiness Pope Plus XII is once again a prisoner in the Vatican. The Goths are down upon the Eternal City that was the Mother of Civili- zation until Mussolini made her the matriarch of tyranny in the mod ern world.
 Those devout Christians, Catho- lies or otherwise, who have in time past believed that the Nazi- Fascist sword could further Christianity. now see the Devil unmasked. and they know exactly what is to be ex-

Poor Planning

While commercial air lines overwork their planes, and find it impossible to get enough machines to handle their busi- ness properly, the trade magazine Amer ican Aviation tells about DC-3 in which group of Army officers flew recently on a weeks fishing trip into northern Minnesota The DC-3 is the type of plane which the commercial lines had to turn over to Uncle Sam, at the beginning of the war, because of shortage. Thus far the lines have not been able to get them back.

Army strategistS know him as the young officer who executed the most brilliant Inaneuver of the last war, the transfer of one mil- lion men from St. Mihiel to the Meuse- -Argonne front, plus 40,- 900 tons of ammunition, 34 hos pitals, 93,000 horses, 164 miles of railway and 07 depots all with no enemy aviator discovering it.
 Gen. Johnson EIagood knows him as the ''mOst outstanding military genius of America since StOnewall Jackson;" Pershing knows him as a eanging, sandy haired youngster who was his aide for five years; while real old-timers know him for the maps for the Texas Big Bend country which he made while 8 lieutenant and which are still standard for the War Department.
 Others know him as one of the few Democrats who have been chief of staff: as one of only two chiefs -of-staff who have not been West Pointers Cthe other was Leonard Wood, because his father a Democrat, couldn't get him into West Point during the Mckinley Administration.
 But few people in Washington know the great secret of Gen. Marshalls ability to keep calm, keep unworried, yet get things done. Even Mrs. Marshall says she doesn't know the secret - actually she does.

 It is interesting news that the war has affected even our Cape Cod oyster crop. The blame for a smaller seasons output than was expected is placed upon the intense activity of the commando boats. which day and night are churing up the waters and grightening the shellhsh. In fact, a Cotuit grower declared they are so disturbed they hide them- selves in the mud. However. fair crop will be harvested, so we can still watch the months with the R" in them for while longer.
