A drive for Federal economy
We'd with national sales tax pro-
posals today in congressional
efforts to raise new revenue.
Fred R. Fairchild, Yale professor
and a member OF the United
States Chamber of Commerce Fed
eral Finance Committee, told the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee yesterday that approximately
SIS ,000, 900, 900 could be subtracted
from the Governments annual ex-
penditures without impairing essen
tial services.
The Associated State Chambers
of Commerce also urged Govern
ment savings and proposed estab-
liShment OF joint congressional
committee on economy and efficiency
ito advise Congress what appropria-
tions are essential for sound, ef-
f1cient and economical administra-
ton"
Both Urge Sales Tax.
Both organizations recommended
adoption Of Federal retail sales
tax to yield s6,0O0,00O,0O0 as a sub
Stltute for the administrations pro-
posal to raise Sl050O,O0O 900 through
higher individual and corporate in
come taxes and larger levies on
luxury items.
j. Vaughan Gary, Richmond. Va.
Chambers, said his organization
seeks 'retrenchment in Federal de-
partments to reduce payrolls BY
100000 employees" as proposed bv
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia.
A bipartisan campaign to cut Fed
eral outlays already has begun to
take shape.
House Minority Leader Martin
said the public should not be
'strangled" with new taxes with
out any effort to cut down expenses
within the Government" The ad-
ministration's multi-billion new tax
program has become virtually
dead issue and tax authorities indi-
cate that only s40OO,0OO 900 to
$4,000 100000 in new revenue can
be raised
The question now is whether Con-
greSS prefers sales tax or higher
rates on individual and corporate
incomes in a compromise with the
administration program.
Chairman Doughton yesterday in
terrupted presentation of the United
States Chambers tax suggestions
to say I've never been able to
reconcile the Treasury's argument
that increased income taxes would
retard imitation. while a sales tax
would increase inf1ation.'
Mr.. Doughton took no definite po-
sition on the issue but said he
wanted more information. In the
past he has led fights against sales
taxes.
Ellsworth c. Alvord. chairman of
the chambers Federal Finance
Committee, opposed further in
creases in income taXes-either for
corporations or '~dividuals.
He declared the Treasury Depart
mentS multl-bllllon revenue plan is
supported solely by political ex-
pediency."
Possible Yields Estimated.
Although recommending no pre-
else level for the sales tax. Mr.. AL
word told the committee a 10 per
cent tax without any exemptions
probably would yield more than
S6,000000,000 and per cent levy
about s3,500,0OO 900.
The witness said it was the cham
ber's belief that sales tax:
l. Is desirably defationary and
would help stamp out black markets.
2. Would collect substantial reve-
nue., without imposing unbearable
burdens. from those receiving four
f1fths of the national income.
3. When viewed merely as a part
Of the tax system, would not impose
burdens which discriminate in favor

Mr.. Doughton told Mr.. Alvord
that he believed a 10 per cent Fed
eral retail sales tax, plus State sales
taxes, would be pretty high"
adding:
Il have doubts about a per cent
sales tax, but no doubts that a 10
per cent tax would cause demands
for wage increases" More than 30
States now have taxes on retail
sales.
The chairman commented that he
did not believe sales tax would be
burdensome now, when employment
is almost 100 per cent, as in pre-
vlous years" He emphasized, how
ever, that he was not ready to
take a stand on either side of the
issue.
Mr.. Lynch told Mr.. Alvord that

dren and no one to care for them
but me. Do you think l could get
job anywhere besides in a pri-
vate home?
Ans. OF course you can, but not
unless you apply for such a job. No
one is going to run you down to
give you such a job you are
the one that will have to do the
running down. The first step to
take is to place your application
with the Government Employment
Agency. Then, call around at all
the bushes houses and put your
application in. There are plenty of
good jobs you can hold down &.

l. P.-We have lost our Church
building. Is there any way we can
build again? Why do we have so
much trouble with our building?
Ans: This is war now, and it
will be a dickens of job to build
a new Church due to shortages of
material and the like. My sugges-
ton is that you buy a house and
remodel it for a Church building
until the war is over. l am sure you
can do this without too much trOu-
bic or burden on the members.
B. NJ. D.: l am a married wo-
man and have been for six years.
We have four children. l am not
what you would say a jealous
woman, but 1 do believe in justice.
The other night he brought a
woman home to our house with him.
My husband is the type of man that
just loves other women. He is a
fine man, though and a real man,
too.
Ans: Apparently you aren't
alone in approaching your hus-
bands "Tarzan" qualities. You
should be a little more strict with
your husband however, for bring
ing other women to the house right
under your very nose is just i'm
posing on good nature really,
you are letting him carry his ap-
probation of other women a little
too far. Let him know that you
won't stand for any more such
nonsense.
NJ. E. B.: My son wrote and
told me that he had made an allot-
ment out to me and he is overseas
now. want to know if l will get it
or not?
Ans: Most assuredly you will,
but the wheels Of the government
grind slowly and it takes time for
! these alIOtments to go thru.

c. F. T.: l have been married
twice and neither time did l have a
wedding ring. think a small gold
band with or diamonds in it
looks so beautiful on a woman's
hand. l asked my husband to buy it
but he said he didn't have the
money. So my son gave me the
money to buy it. If my son pays
cash for it and my husband gives
me the money back in payments,
would the ring be the sacred ring it
should be? Respectfully.
Ans: Every bit as sacred. Fact
is, your husband will gladly buy
the ring on a time-payment basis if
he thinks you have your heart set
on having one. You should be
thankful that you have a son who
is as sweet and generous to his
mother. Let US say this wedding
ring is twice blest by your hus-
band and by your son.
