Pay-as-you.go taxation and a

Up to this point, Mr.. Heimarn
says, "our efforts have been diluted
with well-expressed intentions and
excess verbiage. We have had the
appearance Of action but much less
Of the reality.
"Yet, unless we can get sound
and complete action-and that
rather soon-the inflationary trend
will become graver and soon there
will be little use discussing counter
inflationary measures"
One Of the best checks TO the IN.
flationsry spiral Is taxation, he
says, for thereby I'VE remove from
the stream Of purchasing power
some Of the force that sweeps prices
onward and upward.
This session to Congress Is ale
ready beginning to consider tax
proposals. Second to the actual
war effort, sound taxation policies
can be a prime contribution to the
war.
while our taxation program must
be considered from all aspects.
there Is now an urgent need for
action In one respect. A pay.aS-
you-go program must be the first
order of tax business In Congress.

the trend towards Initiation, Mr..
Heimann says, listing "other as
poets worthy Of our deepest con-
sideration. Group competition for
economic favors Is an important
one.
Farmers, for example, contend
they need higher prices to main.
tain their status quo; wage earneys
want higher wages to Offset the ris-
ing cost Of living; business men
claim charges must be tipped to
meet higher taxes and other costs
and thus enable them to salvage q
reasonable part Of their earnings.
Everyone abhors imitation and, in
turn, everyone seems to be trying
to evade the sacrifices necessary to
prevent II.
"Our fighting men have little
choice as to their sacrifices. Isn't
1t time that we ask our. pressure
groups to stop, look and listen be-
fore they unheedingly push infla-
ton further along its devastating
path?
Prom the experiences Of the last
war we know that rising prices are
illusory. They add to the total cost
Of prosecuting the war. They
bring Embellishments In wago

lead to production curtailment.
They make necessary the imposition
Of higher and higher tax rates.
"AI1d finally, either during or
after the war period. the economic

subsequent deflation invariably
prove that neither individuals nor
the nation can benefit fundalnen-

US not overlook the coming genera

Il saw youngsters crying with
cold" Commissioner Kearney stated
in calling attention to the numer-
Gus cases Of frostbite reported at
local hospitals. He suggested that
schools be closed after a set low
temperature was reached, and ex-
pressed annoyance at q remark
that the city'S thermometers never
agreed and q rule would be futile
Many Absent
Commissioner Parkinson pointed
out that absence lists were very long
at schools yesterday and there was
no advantage in holding sessions If
teachers had to repeat the lessons.
DR.. Thomas J. Condor, superintend-
ent Of schools, stated $50 days Of
study had to be attaind and If
schools closed the lost days would
have to be made up. He said 1t
would be better to keep schools open
even though attendance Is small
than to face an extra day In the
summer.
Attendance Is not compulsory"
the superintendent stated, adding
parents should decide for them
selves whether or not their children
should attend school during the eX-
tremely cold weather. Recognizing
criticism which exists because
schools remain In session, DR.. Con-
don said there would be dissatis-
faction regardless of whether the
schools stayed open or closed.

Proud of his Regular Army status,
Capt Saunders was commissioned
from the ranks May 16, 1912. At
that time he was master sergeant
stationed with the 349th Field Ar

his commission as captain he had
held a reserve commission as second
lieutenant for II years.
Most of his Army career has been
in administrative capacities. In

He spent four years and 10 months
in Hawaii. From 1919 to 1886 he
served in the continental United
States, mostly at Fort Huachuca,
where he was a member of the
famous 25th Infantry. In 1886, when
he again went overseas to spend two
years in southern Luzon and the
Philippine Islands, he was accom-
panied by his wife, the former Miss
Helena Sparks, who taught school
in Texas before her marriage.
At Fort Huachuca, where he spent
so many years as an enlisted man,
Capt. Saunders has proven one of
the most popular commanding Off
GERS Of any detachment. Moreover,
numerous efforts inStigated at other
stations to have him transferred to
responsible administrative positions
at other camps have been repeatedly
turned down at this post. Fort Hua-
chuca Is fortunate in having a man
of Can't. Saunders calibre to head
