Writes:

Both Treasury Department and
Congress apparently agree with the
electorate that the income tax must
be put on a pay-aS-you-earn ba-
sis at once. The dispute now is,
should 1912 tax liabilities be for
given" The Treasury says mo"
firmly. Congressman seem unde-
cided. A substantial segment Of
the public says Yes
Through its general counsel,
Randolph Paul, the Treasury esti-
mates that "forgiving" 1912 tax
liabilities would cost the public till
from seven to eight billion dollars
This amount, he says, probably
would have to be recaptured
through higher tax rates.
1t would seem as though Mr..
Paul has been too busy preparing
his dissent to consider the argu-
ments of Beardsley Ruml, who first
advanced the current pay-as-yoE-
earn proposals.
The fact is, of course, that every
body would so on paying taxes year
after year until he dies, exactly as
though there had been no change
in the system. Most persons would
pay more each year under the
Ruml proposal than without it. The
only persons who would pay less are
the few whose income is decreasing
during the current initiation
These for the most part are men
who have entered the armed forces
AS each person dies, under the
Ruml plan the federal treasury
would sustain loss in its income
tax accounts receivable" amount
ing to the indebtedness that the de-
ceased citizen would not owe be-
cause of the new system. But that
loss. even. would be theoretical, or
perhaps loss i'll one pocket for
the benefit Of another pocket.
If the taxpayer died impoveriSh-
ed, the Treasury would have to
whistle for its final income tax
increment in any event. If he left
an estate, in all probability the
Treasury would collect in estate
taxes all that it would lose in in
come taxes.
Is it OF supreme Importance on
which column of the federal ledg-
erS the government income is en-
teredF II not, there would be nC
loss.

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Going home to live with Mama
and Papa may not be the best thing
for the war bride whose marriage Is
only a few weeks or a few months
old
It is such an obvious solution it
looks like q good one-but there are
| drawbacks.
True, if she is Under the parents
roof, her young husband can go
away with his mind at rest about
her. She will be well taken care of
She won't be too lonely. And he'll
have the comforting knowledge
that he knows just where she is
and what her life is like.
But, though the solution is easy
on her husband, it may not be
good for the young Wife-or good
for their marriage.
She will lean on her family. In
all probability they will continue
to boss her. She'll go right on be-
ing daughter-When she could be
getting used to the responsibility of
being a wife.
If she were to get job and live
alone-her life might be lonelier
-bUt she would be preparing her.
self for marriage. She would have
to make her own decisions and ac-
cept responsibility. She would
learn something about cooking and
housekeeping-even if she only had
one or two rented rooms.
Living alone she would have time
for developing new interests. Time
to enjoy reading-and to learn to
be contented without having other
people around, a lesson that every
woman has to learn if she is to be
happy home-maker.

Guinea, Monday and sent at least
eight down to join the approximate
ly 500 enemy aircraft which have
been wiped out there since mid
August. Two others may have gone
down.
The four Thunderbolts were un-
scathed.
One Thunderbolt pilot, Col. N. E.
Kearby, 80, of Dallas and San An
tonic, Tex, got five japanese planes
to become an ace in a single en-
gagement. He also got credit for the
probables. And he carried a record
of three downed enemy planes into
the battle.
Survivors of the big enemy fighter
formation, which was escorting II
bombers, broke off the engagement.
But the japanese air force got in
sonle licks elsewhere. The commu-
nique said the enemy raided Quad
alcanal on an unspecifled date and
caused damage to American ship
ping in those Solomon waters. Other
enemy planes struck three times at
Gen. MacArthur's newly acquired
air base of Lac, New Guinea.

said Australians mopping up north
west of captured Finschhafen had
killed 400 Japanese. Other AussieS
moving along the Ramu Valley
against the enemy coastal base of
Madang continued to oust the
enemy from outpost positions on

CA spokesman at Admiral Will

headquarters disclosed that for
the first time in the war New
Zealand ground forces had gone
into action in the Solomons
theater and had led the mop

(After landing September 18
elements Of the Sd New Zealand
Division, under Maj. Gen. H. E.

the islands west coast to contain
the enemy in Smile coastal
strip and inflict comparatively
heavy losses. Enemy attempts to
evacuate the island were
thwarted october when United
States destroyers sank three war
ships)
