FREEDOM OF THE AIR

President Roosevelt has announced
that vast system of international air
lines TO bring the most distant points on
the globe only few hours apart is being
planned.
Although we've heard much talk of
world-spanning networks and many air
lines have already applied for postwar
charters this is the first official recogni-
tion or encouragement of international
air traffic.
The president encouraged private COM
panies to make plans for international
expansion by saying that it was his idea
to keep the government out of such plane
operations except for experimental routes
to be used as communications with new
and distant territories. He even limited
that subsidies may be given in order to
get the lines in operation.
Our armed forces have already devel
oped huge flying boats and land-based
ships capable of making formerly un-
dreamed of trips and all indications are
that newer ships which will be able to
travel even greater distances will be pro-
duced soon.
After the war there will be released
great many bombers and troop-carry-
ing planes which could easily be convert
ed into huge paSSenger-carrying Skylin/rs
or flying freight cars.
Thousands of service pilots will be
on hand to turn their knowledge and
skill into peace-time flying. A jaunt to
Europe from here will take little more
time and money than is now required to
travel to San Francisco by auto.
But the most important phase of the
expanded aviation picture to Imperial
Valley will probably be cargo-carrying
by air Our perishable vegetable crops
will be able to be placed on eastern mar
kets only few hours after being taken
from the fields.
AS the large military air facilities here
now operated are turned over to private
industry, as will be the case, the valley
may also become terminal point for air
traffic to Mexico. Central America and
South America. We now have two splen-
did fields and a seaplane facility on Sal
ton Sea which could be used for CONNER
cial amphibious aircraft flying coast
route south.
Speculation of today will be our pres
emf of tomorrow

A COURAGEOUS JUDGE

One federal official has courage en-
ough to speak his mind on a subject
which has become sore spot to many
of US.
Judge W. H. Atwell of Dallas, Texas,
has ruled that the Office of Price Ad
ministration has no authority to suspend
the rights of a dealer to sell rationed
commodities. In giving his decision the
Juror branded the OPA method of ham
ding alleged violations of the price con-
troll acts as modern instance of die
tStorship.''
The OPA hearing administrator "acts
without fear of consequences for NAL
feasance or misfeance. If he can sus-
pend for two weeks, he can suspend for
two years He is not only unknown to
the Congress but is unknown to the Con-
stitution," said the judge.
"He is modern instance of pure die
tatorship.'
Judge. them's our sentiments too!

GET THE" FEARS" STRAIGHT
(Industrial News Review

ClnduStrlal News ReVleW)
A recent advertisement shows the pic
ture of wife plowing in 1777, while her
husband was away fighting for their
country's independence. The advertise
ment then stressed that by building up
certain financial reserves, one can gain
freedom from the ugliest fear of all
want
Nowhere was the point made that the
woman plowing was doing job to help
free herself and her husband and her
country of a fear much greater than that
of financial want, namely, fear of tyran
ny, fear of oppression, fear of injustice.
Freedom from fear" and freedom
from want" as they are generally pre-
sented to our people today, seem to be
based entirely on material things, as if
easy living and full stomach We're the
principal guarantees which we should
worry about.
The right to be independent and free
of domination by any government, any
king, or any bureaucracy, is what the
1777 woman and her husband were fight
ing for. A full stomach or financial Sc
curity were the least of their fears.

In the last issue of the Boy
Scout councillor was a tribute to
Captain Danny Judd, who is repre-
sented by the first Gold Star on
the service flag of the Imperial
, Yuma council of Boy Scouts.
The tribute was written after
Danny was officially declared dead
by the war department after having
been missing for more than a year.

Danny was an Eagle Scout, a
member of Troop IA of Ell Centre

leadership capacities, atte n d n g

scouting, Danny was pal and bud
dy TO his fellow Scouts and leaders.
Enlisting in the air force early in
the war, he was rapidly promoted
until he attained the rank Of cap
tain.

ITALIAN COURAGE
(San Bernardino SUM

The Italians are redeeming themselves
1t was never fair to accuse them of cow
ardice when they were fighting in cause
which they knew was wrong. Now that
they have something worthwhile to shed
their blood for, they are showing how
Italians can fight, even in the face of
great handicaps.
From Chiasso, on the Swiss-Italian
frontier, the other day came a memoir
able report. So fierce was the determina-
tion to expel the Germans that Italian
troops armed only with bayonets charg-
ed in masses against German tanks, and
5000 out of 5000 were killed. At Parma
when the fight became hopeless 33 Ital-
ian officers took their own lives rather
than surrender. In Trento, which was
held by the Germans, they roamed the
streets hurting hand grenades and cut
ting high tension wires to drop on Ger
man tanks. The Italians can be expected
to fight more earnestly for their own
liberty than they did in taking liberty
away from other people

Thus briefly stated, we do not
believe that Professor Lutz's pro-
posals are entirely adequate. But
they do form the basis for a work.
able revision of the present system.
What they seem to mean, in ef-
feet, is this: S
Virtually everybody now pays a
Victory Tax on one base,
normal income tax on a second
base and a first bracket "surtaX'
on a third base. That is, all three
of these now have become 'normal"9
taxes, but each has to be computed
on a different net income with diff
fering credits, exemptions and de-
ductionS. +
Specifically, disregarding the,
complication of the three bases,
these normal" taxes aggregate "a
per cent of net income-5 per cent
for Victory Tax 6 per cent nor
NAL" 13 per cent first Bracket
"surtaX."
/.
All right. Let's drop the pre-
lenses and the complications. Let's.
say frankly that the normal in
come tax, after basic exemptions
and credits, is "a per cent-whichi
it is-and let's Withholding that "a
per cent just as, now, we withhold
20 per cent.
Let's take an average situation
lust as we do on the short form re-
turn now in use--and say that this
withholding covers all tax due
from persons whose income is not
more than an amount to be COM
puted-just as we now say that
persons who earned under so much
need not file 1040-ES. Persons
thus paid in full need file no re-
turn of any sort.
This leaves certain loopholes,
which are discussed in succeed
ing article.
