! 1t possible for taxpayers Ito meet
their tax payments from their pay
| envelopes if the taxes are to be
paid. because of the large increases
! in tax rates and the lowering OF
| exemptions. So the committee bill
provides the withholding tax This
| money withheld can be applied to
pay the remaining half of the 1912
income tax, due after that date, or
if the 1912 tax has been entirely
paid by a taxpayer. it win be APP
! piled to the 1943 tax. Further, if a
taxpayer is able and willing to pay
all his 1943 income tax by June Is,
he is to be granted per cent
deduction on that tax.
In support of its plan to adopt a
withholding tax the committee said;
Both England and Australia to-
day collect taxes at the source in
payment of the liability of the prior
year
The minority members of the COM
mittee. on the other hand, hold that
it is of vital importance to put
the public on pay-asyou-go basis.
Principal argument is that if a
taxpayer makes considerable in
come one year, and the next year
his income is cut to half or less.
as may happen following the war
it will be impossible for him to pay
the income taxes on the larger
income of the prior year out of
fIn lnecny 5rr y,N ~
year.
Gain Seen for Treasury.
Further, they insist that the
Treasury will receive even more
money this year if the income taxes
are paid on current income. In
stead of on 1912 income, since it
is estimated the income taxes Of
the country this year will reach a
total of $4,000, 100000. They ridi-
cule the idea that any material
number of taxpayers will undertake
to pay both 1912 and l943 taxes in
this calendar year.
In support of it's refusal to adopt
the Ruml plan, the majority OF the
committee said:
I'VE are faced with the most
frightful war in the history of the
world. There is no time for expert
ment. We must make every effort
to raise all the revenue the economy
of the country can reasonably bear
by true and tried methods. Every
effort should be made to encourage
taxpayers to pay as much tax on
their current income as they desire.
But those who do not desire to make
such payments should not be forced
to do so.
In graat many instances the
payment of more than one years
taxes in the same year will consti-
tute a great hardship To meet this
objection there are some who ad-
vocate the forgiveness of one years
taxes. To forgive any taxpayer one
years taxes means that the debt
he has already incurred and owes
to the Government must be borne
by some other taxpayer who may,
in many instances, be less able to
pay than the taxpayer whose debt
Is forgiven. 1t is like robbing Peter
to pay a bonus to Paul.
Presidents Request Cited.
your committee members who
have approved this report do not
want their taxes forgiven. 1t
is believed that the vast majority of
American people also will not want
TO have their taxes forgiven.
But it is contended that by elm
mating the year 1912 from the pic
ture the Government will actually
secure more revenue because the in
come for l943 is higher than the
income for 1912, But, even though
I the income for l943 is higher than

Equal Rights Amendment Hit
In Voters League Broadside

a husband divorce his wife II she
does not support him?
THE property rights OF married
men and women are different in ALI
the States. Would these rights be
affected?
In some States jury service for
women is compulsory, in some op-
tional, in some prohibited; some re-
quire women to serve, but excuse
those who have the care of children.
Which laws would be valid under
equal rights?'"
To each question the league an
swers with the same refrain: Who
knows? Nobody! Who must de-
eide? The courts"
The real determinations against
women result from custom and
prejudice, not from laws" the league
contends. "A constitutional amend
ment won't change these attitudes.
1t could aggravate them"
Evening star., 1943-03-15

Reaff1rming its opposition to the
equal rights amendment. the Ma
tional League of Women Voters to-
day issued a broadside which dis
cusses some of the questions raised
by a blanket" approach to remov-
ing legal discrimination against
women.
Contending that the amendment
would be the greatest single step
toward Capitalization of Govern
ment control ever taken" the league
also opposes it on the grounds that
it would cause great confusion and
further overburden already over
burdened courts. In addition it de-
clares that everything the amend
ment attempts to do can be done
by State action"
Look Twice at the Equal Rights
Amendment is the subject Of the
broadside, which poses such ques-
tions as these:
I'm some States the legal age for
marriage is lower for girls than for
boys. Is this equal rights or would
the age have to be raised for girls
or lowered for boys?
I'm some States a husbands fail
ure to support his wife is cause for
divorce. Under equal rights may

An examination IN double-entry
bookkeeping gave Genevieve Tobin,
Hollywood and Broadway star, the
worst case Of stage fright she ever
experienced. The examination was
part of a business course at Strayer
Business College now being taken
by Miss Tobin. who in private life
is Mrs. William Keighley, wife of
Col. Keighley. chief of the Motion
Picture Training Division, Army Air
Forces, stationed in Washington.
Mrs. Keighley laughed as she told
OF her experience, which she de-
clared was worse than the opening
night OF her debut in Little Old
New York"
ut is silly" she said, but the
night before that examination I was
so nervous I could scarcely sleep.
1t was real case of stage fright"
Asked why she was taking up an
avocation so far removed from an
exciting acting career, she smiled
and said, We'll, just had to learn
the difference between debit and
credit"
Became "Oflce Wife"
you see" she continued, II want
to be real Army wife and help my
husband, When he gave up his work
in Hollywood as director with War
ner Bros. to enter the Army Air
Forces there was property left be-
hind, and, Of course, much unfn-
lshed business. When We arrived
in Washington he was too busy even
to open his mail. I realized then
that he truly needed an office wife,
so l decided to take a business
course and learn to be secretary.
Il think all actors and actresses
should have working knowledge
of business. There would be fewer
persons in the old actors homes il
they did" she said.
Mrs. Keighley was asked If she did
not find the work uninteresting.
mo" she declared. II find 1t
very interesting. After all, business
deals with money. and I don't think
money ever is uninteresting. I like
every part Of the course except mer-
chandNing, but I have to take that
to be able to get the necessary
credits"
The pretty "actress-secretary" ex-
planned that she already knew
something about tipping, which she
uses in her daily office work" for
her husband "It's the hunt and
pick system" she said, but it suf-
fees to do the work"
Mrs. Keighley is proud of passing

was in Warner Bros, mo Time for
Comedy"
Even though she spends every
weekday morning at school she finds
time for many war activities, in
cluding week with the Army Emer-
gency Relief Organization, in which
she joins with other Army Air
Force wives" and many hours
each week at the Stage Door Can
teen, where she is senior hostess
Hostess at Canteen.
II think Washington Is the most
thrilling place I have been, and
wouldn't be anywhere else at this
time she declared, enthusiastically
"It is just as exciting to meet
those boys at the Stage Door Can
teen and be able TO entertain them
and help them as it is to face new
audience every night. Washington is
the center Of things" she smiled.
Mrs. Keighley came to Washing
ton last fall after selling her home
in suburb of Los Angeles
1--WE sold it to Johnny Weismul-
ler," she commented. Il don't know
when I'll return to Hollywood. as
intend to stay in Washington as
long as my husband is here. I'm a
real Army wife now" she added,
proudly.
Mrs. Keighley. who was born and
reared in New York and went on the
stage at an early age, believes she
would thoroughly enjoy life on an
Army post.
Il don't suppose I ever will see
that side of Army life" she re-
marked, but I would really enjoy
doing play on the subject"
