Contemplating this sublime
thought expressed by this wonder
full girl, even in the face of great
agony, the writer is inspired to
think of the beautifur lines OF
the poet, who wrote:
Let me cheer the living here
Not the dead across the bar,
Let me carry hope and cheer
Where the sad and hopeless are.

little doubt that we will have
taxes deducted from our wages
for the last six months of l943
and possibly beginning March 10.
There is no doubt that we will all
be required to pay regular in
come taxes on 1912 incomes on
March Is, however. Possibly
during the last two quarters OF
the year, we will have to pay
taxes on both 1912 and 1943 in
comes at the same time.
The Ruml plan for forgiving
1912 taxes and paying now on
1943 incomes is not likely to be
accepted, although the pay-as-
you-go idea will be put into
force. Many congressman, how
ever, do not favor forgiving 194l
incomes. The treasury, it is be-
1ieved, sees an opportunity to in
crease government income con-
siderably this year by taxing
both 1912 and 1913 incomes at the
same time, even though they
would agree to a reduction OF
postponement of some Of the
1912 taxes.
Although many plans will be
considered before a new tax pro
gram is finally enacted, there is
no question but that the taxes we
pay this year will be more, rath-
er than less than we anticipated

The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-02-18

Washington, D. C.-The launch
ing of the point system for buy
ing groceries, the new shoe "a
tioning program, the manpower
regulations requiring that young
men either do necessary work or
be drafted into the army, and the
new plans for increasing taxa
ton are ample evidence of the
get tough" attitude which is be-
ing assumed by most Washington
war agencies.
There is a general feeling here
that requests for voluntary CO.
operation of the people have not
been too successful-that there
are millions of Americans who
will make sacrifices when forced
to do SO but will not otherwise
let 60 of comforts-as-usual.
Therefore, during 1913, manda-
tory regulations will increase
greatly and requests for volunta-
ry cooperation will be kept to a
minimum.
AS a result of the regulation
providing for the drafting of mar
ried men between the ages of Is
and 38, whether they have de-
pendentS or not, unless they get
In essential war industries, thous-
ands of men have applied to the
U S. Employment Service for es-
Sential jobs. It is possible that
this regulation regarding men
with dependents will be revised
by congress, but there is no ques-
ton but that men in non-essential
industries even if they are not
drafted or the armed forces, will
at least be drafted for necessary
civilian work.
It is expected that new prod
ucts will be added to the ration
lists each month. as soon as it is
apparent that shortages are in
the offing. AS with shoe ration
ing, future products to be ration
ed will not be announced ahead
of time, thus preventing buying
rushes and boarding. Prentiss M.
Brown, the new Price Admins
traitor, has received many COM
pliments for the way he han
died shoe rationing- this being
the first important regulation he
has put through and the first ra-
tioning order which had not been
announced ahead of time. AL
though some people were tipped
off about shoe rationing by grape
vine methods, no publicity was
given to it except for radio
''hint" given to the people in
New York by Mayor LaGuardia.
Therefore there was very linn
tied amount of stocking up before
shoe sales were frozen.
Shoe rationing was not put
through because of an acute
shortage of shoes but in order to
assure an equal distribution of the
shoe supply to everyone in the
country. This indicates a new
policy, which will probably be
followed on many other items, of
rationing to prevent shortages in
stead of because shortages alrea-
dy exist.
The tax question has become
pretty much of muddle, but
when the smoke clears there is
