AS MARCH 18th
DRAWS NEAR

Jacksonville RegiSter)
Those rumbings of renewed interest
in the Ruml income tax plan signify that
March Is next is beginning to disturb the
sleep of our taXpaying citizenry.
In between tax dates most OF us can't
be worried about the details of the sys-
tenn But now, with the Victory tax tax
ing bites out Of every pay envelope and a
huge inStallment cue soon ON last years
tax, we're beginning to realize how much
harder it is to pay for dead horse than
a live one.
The Ruml plan proposes that we pay
most of our income tax as we earn 1t. In
that way We never would come up to an
annual March Is with burdensome debt
to Uncle Sam and nothing with which to
pay.
The current system assumes that most
taxpayers are superhuman enough to give
up the money with which to pay tax
whose very size we cannot know until the
saving period has virtually ended.
Suppose Joe Doakes, keeping his New
Years resolution, lays aside 81 a week
for tha $50 income tax he expects to have
to pay Seeking to finance the war next
October or November congress decides
to up Doakes' tax to S75. Of what avail
We're his good resolutions? Of what ben
eft that he kept them? He still hasn't
saved enough to pay the tax.
The Ruml plan recognizes this diff
Guilty and reconizes also that human ma
ture is weak and that most of us, however
good our intentions, do not even save up
the $50 we thought we would have to pay
let alone the SIS.
In so far as we have dared figure it
out, most of us realize that the tax next
March is going to hit us hard. Whether
or not we realize it. the tax a year from
next March will be much greater.
The closer March Is approaches the
more we can expect to hear about the
Puml plan
Imperial Valley press., 1943-02-07
LET'S KNOW WHY
BEFORE WERE HIT

1t isn't often that we've disagreed with
Secretary Of Interior Harold l.. lckeS,
who is also petroleum ear. since the war
started, although we disagreed with hm
plenty of times before then. The war
made him a considerably quiet2r and
much more effective executive, working
toward facts rather than theories.
This time, however, we'd like to haze
a few facts from him before we can agree
with his latest pronouncement IN favor
of nationwide ban on SO-called pleasure
driving, which Is not pleasure driving at
all, but should be called non-esSentlal
driving.
In Washington the other day, Mr.. lckes
told news correspondents he favored
extending to the whole country the policy
in effect on the eastern seaboard. he
did say, to do him Justice that certain
exceptions" should be made in oil produe-
ing areas His reasoning was that, while
gasoline might not be scarce IN some areas
because of transportation, II still would
be wise to build up surpluSes of vital fuel,
We cannot disagree that it is extremely
wise to see that there is enough petrol
cum fuel in the country to take care OF
all present and anticipated. or even pos
sible. military needs. We think that no.
body else will disagree with it.
But we have been told time and again
that there is enough fuel in this country
to meet all needs, everywhere. We have
been told that the reason for extreme re-
strictions in the eastern states is lack
of transportation.
If the nationwide restrictions are to be
frightened, the people have right to know
why. They have a right to know the facts
behind the situation-to guard against
the make 'em suffer- boys of Washing
ton.
If we are running low on reserves, II
there is danger that the military machine
may suffer from lack Of fuel later on,
nobody will complain at new restrictions.
But some airy pronouncement in favor
of building up reserves" is not enough.
We are entitled to know whether our OIL
production is less than we had been led
to believe it was, whether there is actual
ly any danger of running short.
Rationing just for the sake of ration
ing. when it achieves no useful purpose
in the war effort, is something which
should not be tolerated.

MESSAGE FROM THE FRONT

lOntario Report)
Eddie Rickenbacker, national hero OF
World War One and World War Two,
literally told us out for our failures
on the home front, in his speech in Los
Angeles Tuesday. He minced no words
when he cried shame to the slackers in
industry who curtail production for the
boys at the front by strikes and absent
eeiSm.
Here is a man, Just back from brush
with death, Just out of the zone of first
line horrors, forced to face an intoler-
able situation in his beloved homeland.
These are his words: IF necessary to
make us appreciate our duties bring back
the troops from the hellholes of the world
place them in the factories, take the war
workers and place them in the fOXholes
with filth, yermin, malaria, and the Japs
then our production will be increased,
doubled within 30 days.
I'VE would have no feather bedding,
sew-doWns restrictions on effort. The
perpetual showdown in war industry
caused by absenteeism, where it exceeds
an average of per cent, is probably the
most fragrant abuse of your obligation
since Pearl IIarbor.
I'VE hear a lot nowadays about the
shortage Of man power hours. 1t is not
that that is slowing up the badly needed
production Of war weapons but the short
age Of productive man power hours
1t is Just such plain talk that tbs coun-
try needs CoddIing Of unpatriotic groups,

affiliations, is becoming stencil in the

STILL UNSETTLED

The federal administration. through Its
manpower program, goes gaIly on Its
way forcing American men and women
into the big labor unions without giving
them chance to complain, to voice their
opinions, or to speak at all, for that
matter.
The new draft rulings, dealing with
"non-6 married men with chill
dren. is obviously an attempt to get these
non-esse ential workers into vital indus
tries, rather than an attempt to get into
the armed services.
That might be all right, except for one
thing Practically every man who goes
into war production factories these days
has got to join labor union, because
most government contracts demand that
union labor be employed.
The administration has avoided an out
right draft of labor because, once bill
for such draft was presented In con-
gress, the question of the unions would
have to be answered. The administra-
ton has side-stepped the issue ever since
the war started 1t is still side-stepplng,
avoiding the direct path toward It's OBJ
