TAXES HIT EVERYBODY

(Santa Monica Outlook)
The working people who are paying
income taxes, in many cases for the first
time, are inclined to feel the burden
acutely. Taxes they realize is in effect
q reduction in wages. If they were man.
aging the great war industries whose
payrolls provide their wages they un-
doubtedly would feel the oppressive ma
ture of taxation even more keenly.
The fact is that war taxation mts every
class and every interest. 1t is interest
ing and instructive to know that for the
last year increased federal income taxes
on the average, wiped out all the increas-
ed earnings of corporations and the div
idend payments by these companies were
10 per cent less than in the preceding
year. These are not guesswork figures;
they are the official findings of the Unit
ed States Department of Commerce.
It is clear from them that war taxes
are reducing all incomes. They take
from the well-paid wage Garner and from
the investor who has put his savings in
the stock of companies whose manage
ment he regards as honest and able. They
also show that no ground exists for de-
mand for wage increases when it is based
on the plea that the employing company
is making huge war profits. Such an
argument is simply an appeal to preJu-
dice that is both false and misleading to
all concerned.

LET'S JUST FORGET
THE NYA Fer AWHILE

Congress is tossing back and forth
the question whether the National Youth
Administration should be continued or
done away with The House says mo"
but the Senate says Yes" to the tune of
about AZ million dollars.
If there is any single bureau which
should be eliminated without the slight
est doubt, it's the NYA.
In the first place the whole theory of
the government directly or indirectly
training the youth of this nation is fun
damentally a peacetime plan. This is
war time Diversions of the NYA activ-
tiles to war purposes are Jokes make
shifts, excuses to keep the theory alive.
The majority of objectives can just as
well be met by other means, and certain
ly their accomplishment isn't worth AZ
millions of tax dollars.
Just because we're going wild on spend
ing money for the war is no excuse for
throwing money around like drunken
sailors. Just because there is waste is
no reason why we should be profligate
These are real dollars which must be
paid back, and a policy of eliminating
all surplus agencies such as this would
result with material economy both now
and in future.
In peacetime. the NYA proved itself
Supef1lu0uS. II pr0Vlded services not
economically justified. 1t overlapped
youth training available through trade
schools and the best educational method
of all, producing while learning in the
capacity as apprentice. 1t did some good
yes, but very little in ratio to the whole
clumsy bureau expenditure. And it did
harm by providing luxurious, silk
stocking way of theoretically learning
something while having a nice excuse
for not going to work in the nations eco
nomic pattern.
Bascally, the plan smacks too much
of national socialism anyway. There is
no need for the federal government to
direct the affairs of everyone from era
die to the grave, and it would be best if
the whole thing be dropped until this
important war is won.
We hope congress will liquidate it now,
once and for all

do. We can't print them, anyway

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

The girls who complain that be-
fore a young man has time to get
serious about them these days the
Amy either gets him or moves nm
on TO another location, have one
thing on their side that they never
seem to consider.
1t is the fact that they DO get
to meet men-plenty of men. The
cream o. the crop seems to be in
uniform, and it is as easy as can be
for a girl to meet a man in uni
form.
She can 60 to USO parties. Or
she can get acquainted with him
anywhere, without seeming disre-
gard the properties. In peace time
nice" girls don't allow themselves
to be picked up In war time you
don't call it pickup. You are just
oeing friendly to a soldier building
UP his morale.
So as far as meeting men goes
a girl today has q wonderful OPP
portunity. If there aren't an; serv-
ice men in her town, she can easily
get a Job in a city or get unto
uniform herself.
WON'T NEED MUCH TIME
r. she doesn't meet all the men
she wants to, it is her own fault.
Of course, as she says, of.imes
she hardly more than meets a
Young man before. Uncle Sam tells
him to move on.
But she has a chance to be with
him long enough to make an i'm
preston. And there are always
letters. Some Of the worlds great
love affairs resulted from letter
wri ing Remember the Brownings?
So instead of fuming at fate for
giving her SO little time in which

grateful for having chance to
meet al sorts of men, from all parts
of the country.
If she happens 10 meet the right
cne, she won't need much time.
