ing tax rates, but merely changes the
system of collecting the taxes at the
present rates.
The forgiveness" section does not
mean that any civilian will pay less to
the Treasury this year than he would
under the present law.
Withholding Tax
Beginning July /, much of the Fed
eral income tax will be collected by
employers and turned over to the
Treasury by them.
Deductions will be made from pay
checks and envelopes at a rate of 20
percent of that part Of the wage
which exceeds exemptions:
Single persons-$12 week or $52
month.
Married persons-$24 a week or
$104 a month.
Each dependencies a week or $26
month additional exemption.
Thus married man with two chill
! dren and a check of S45 week would
have withholding exemptions of $36 a
week. Twenty percent of the remain
ing SO would be deducted, making a
weekly deduction of $3.50.
Victory Tax Credit
The Victory tax now is deducted at
rate of 5 percent, of which about 2
percent can be claimed as a credit
when next income tax returns are
filed.
Technically the Victory tax will
continue at the rate of percent of
gross income over 1924 a year, but
actually only 3 percent will be de-
Quoted and this is included as part of
the 20 percent withholding tax.

Pay-AS-Y ou-Go Tax
Bill To Be Signed
Soon By President

President Roosevelt has announced
his intention to sign the pending pay
as-you-go tax bill very shortly.
The measure passed last Friday by
both branches of Congress abates
seventy-five percent of individual in
come taxes of 1912, and begins a de-
duction of twenty percent of net in
come from pay envelopes beginning
July /.
The average taxpayer will find
himself for the first time in his life
paying Federal taxes on his income
as he earns it, either through 20
percent payroll levy or through
quarterly installments made on a
basis of his estimated net receipts for
the year.
The complicated tax bill finally
adopted by Congress-directly affect
ing every taxpayer-has three prin-
cipal purposes:
l. To inaugurate a system under
which Federal individual income taxes
will be paid on income the year that
income is received, instead of year
later as now. 1t would prepare for
this by wiping out" forgiving
most of one years taxes.
2. To collect taxes from most wage
and salary earners directly at the
source-before the taxpayer even sees
his pay. This will be done through a
deduction from pay checks of 20 per
cent of net taxable income This does
not mean that 20 per cent of a per-
sons pay check will be deducted. The
deduction will be 20 percent of the
pay in excess of exemptions. Others
will make quarterly payments under a
new system beginning September Is
3. To provide more tax relief for
members of the armed forces.

. We all agree that our object in
fighting the war Is to bring FREE
DOM, not only to ourselves, but
also to other peoples Of the world.
Have we Freedom in American II
SO, what guarantees its mainten-
ance?
Freedom Through Sacrifice
It is not in Idle speculation that
we ask the question, Have we Free
dom and what guarantees it?" Our
patriots from Washington down
through Lincoln have warned us
that freedom was not gift with
in the power of any political system
or ruler to give. It was won by the
sacrifices of all the people; 1t can be
maintained only by sacrifice.
There is nothing In the Declare
ton of independence that can guar
antee Freedom. There Is nothing IN
our Constitution that guarantees
freedom to the individual, much
less to the group. These Charters
nurtured Freedom to the extent
that they sought to establish condi-
tions In which Freedom had larg-
er opportunity to sustain q Strug-
Cling mankind in finding Q freer
way. ~.
Freedom even to worship God IS
not an ultimate grant of Freedom,
but q, condition essential to an in
dividual's knowledge Of his God.
Freedom Of Speech, Freedom OF AS
semhly, Freedom Of Petition. Free
dom in the Ownership Of Property,
and Freedom to Work are all c0ndi-
tions subject to limitations which
determine their use in broadening
our opportunities to live a freer life
| All Of them look towards the free
ing Of the individual by recognizing
the dignity and the worth Of every
man and woman, as human beings
who are capable of an infinite use
Of Freedom. These Charters OF hui
man society are conditioned upon
their not being used tothe injury OF
our fellows. Let us make 1t clear.
therefore, that no Constitution. no
Charter, no Declaration BY any gov
erning body or by the people as a
whole can ever In themselves assure
US Of Freedom. ne

It's a tight squeeze If you sleep
in a 'way-upper. You have to
wait to pull yourself together

Dressing Is unnecessary, since or.
