How We Cut Taxes in 1850
New York Times

New York Times
1t was in 1850, not long after the close of the
Second World War writes the Chinese historian HI
Ho Hum that one member of the American Congress
was struck with the idea that it might be possible to
reduce income taxes below their l943 level He did
not propose anything absurd return to 1888
income tax levels but did go so far to suggest
that taxes might be reduced to 194l levels.
This strange idea the Chinese historian con-
tnues actually gained several adherents The Treas
ury, in alarm, went before the Ways and Means
Committee to combat reactionary plan. BY such
man without any dependents and with an income OF
ST 200 would gain only $29. The man with 5000
income, however, would gain s305; the man with a
$4,000 income would gain $500; the with a
$4,000 income would gain $1,3l6; the with a
100000 income would gain $l6325. And the scoun-
dre with 100000 income tfor there was one left
would gain $l67,446
The Treasury was unable to understand how SO
preposterous an idea could have originated how
any liberal could possibly be taken in by it. For it
gave the biggest amounts precisely to the men who
needed them least. 1t gave the least to precisely
the men who needed the money most What excuse,
continued the Treasury was there for throwing such
windfalls into the laps of the taxpayers? Did Con-
gress actually propose that the Treasury should
throw away the billions of dollars of assets owing to
lit? Did not Congress recognize that whenever the
Treasury took less than mans whole income it was
in effect making him handsome gilt OF the income
that it failed to take? And as this rrefutably
true continued the Treasury according to the Chin
csc historian), it already scandal that the
Treasury even at the 1943 level, giving the
with $1,000 income only $l,l7l each year, while it
was giving the man with 81 100000 income 100000
every year.
Even though its logic was perfect, however the
Treasury was willing, in Difference to the muddle
into which popular thought had got on the subject,
to reduce taxes and to reduce the rich mans tax
by as much the poor mans tax. 1t found that
the poorest man taxed paid tax of 81. Therefore
the Treasury willing to consent to reducing the
tax of each individual by 81. Even the with the
100000 income told that his tax for the fol-
lowing year. instead of being 100000 would be
999 This reduction of 81, being the to ali
taxpayers and therefore fair to every one gladly
accepted by all concerned, concludes the Chinese
historian, Hi Ho Hum and nobody in America there
after had the cheek to bring up the question of
reduction again.

Him.
Representatives Warren Magnu-
son OF Washington, Michael Brad
icy Of Pennsylvania, Mike" Kir-
wan Of Ohio, John ILesinski OF Mi
chiga1i and others, struck some
forensic blows for labor's participa-
ton in the war effort after listen
ing to frank talk by Murray, who
defended labor against charges of
"absenteeism."
II want you gentlemen to know
that CLIO unions are giving their
all in this struggle" Murray de-
clared. Whatever absenteeism we
are guilty of is involuntary, due to
illness, lack Of transportation or
other unavoidable causes. I've sent
personal orders to the leaders OF
every CLIO union in the country to
stop absenteeism. We're also doing
all in our power to prevent strikes
The record shows that
Republican Representative George
H. Bender of Ohio, frequent cri-
tic OF New Deal labor policies, al
most caused the other guests tt
fall out of their chairs by loudly
applauding Murray's speech ane
declaring that every member Of
Congress should have been here t.
listen to it."

wPB ECONOMIES

In the cocktail lounges and Pull
man cars, story is going around
that a Japanese spy reported to
the Emperor it would be useless to
bomb Washington, because if one
building were destroyed, two or
three others would remain-all of
which are doing the same work.
That tale is much more than a
funny story TO WIPES Executive
Vice Chairman, Charles E. Wilson,
because he has found lot OF
WPB outfits doing the same work.
50 he has ordered drastic stream
Inning Of that top-heavy organiza-
ton.
Wilson has sent memo to WPB
executives saying Good manage
rnent demands we make the most
effective use of our present per-
sonnel and conduct our operations
WITH maximum economy
Then he listed these economies ::
elj Suspension of all recruitment
for new jobs and no new appoint
rhents except by his specific ap-
proYal. WPB already has 2l,500 en-
pioyees, plus 2,4oo on requisition.
Yet the Budget Bureau has given
It job ceiling of $4,000
~ Immediate reduction in ira
vel, which Wilson says, represents
a substantial part of the total WPB
budget.

lance telephone calls, printing and
binding. 1t is fond habit OF WIPE

Two instances of precision bomb
ing have won amazed admiration
here One was a strike on an Axis
ammunition ship in the harbor of
Tripoli before Rommel evacuated.
From an altitude of 23,400 feet, a
bomb struck the ship squarely, blew
it to pieces, and even destroyed the
dock and two lighters alongside
Another instance was an attack
on Bizerte, in northern Tunisia, in
which a US. plane landed bomb
on a tiny tongue of land ON which
were important Axis installations.
RonIrnel fears air attack, and it
was this fear which in part prompt
ed his recent drive against Ameri-
can forces in the Kasserine area
He was able to take three landing
fields we had been using, and be-
fore withdrawing, he plowed them
up Now they have been retaken
and are being reconditioned.
/, The time will come when U. S
planes will fill the air oyer the
Tunisian coast and prevent deliv-
cry of any supplies. That should be
the end of the Germans in North
Africa

OUR ARMY

The arguments of military leaders to the
necessity for services totaling almost 100000 men
are enlightening nteresting-and perhaps convinc-
ing On its face fighting force of that size sounds
tremendous and there have been many honest critics
who expressed the opinion that it would be impos-
sible to supply such force-or even part of it
for overseas duty.
The explanation as to how the figure was
reached is belaed and certainly it is not detailed to
q point where it might aid enemy intelligence. If
the figures had been pubcized earlier, it is probable
that much of the opposition to the plan would have
been npped in the bud
The total of armed services by the end of
this year probably will be 100000. There is no
intent of sending this number overseas, however.
Here's how the thing will probably be broken down.
y The Navy will need approximately 100000
sailors to man the new ships now being built and
those already in service. This will leave the Army
with some 100000 men, of whom about 100000 will
be officers.
4, The Army Air Forces expect to expand to about
100000 men by the end of the year. The Army
Service of Supply needs more than 100000 for its
work here and on foreign fields There will be a

NORTH AFRICAN BOMBING

Military experts in Washington
are now forecasting privately that
Rommel's Aflfka Corps will receive
the. coup de grace, not from ground
forces in Tunisia. but from Ameri-
can Flying Fortresses. Their tar
gets will be Axis shipping.
Already Axis supply lines from
Sicily to Tunisia are losing one
ship out of every three, with the
daylight precision bombing of Am
erican planes doing most of the
damage. Soon the drying ground
will permit operation from fields
closer to this line of supply.

large quota needed for home defense positions. Re-
placement reserves must not fall below 100000 per
month and during large campaigns may reach the
total of 625OoO per month, Army men estimate
After all those demands are deducted, we find
that out of the original 1080o0Oo there is probable
offensive land army of some 2,74o000 soldiers. In
contrast with modern armies, this is not large. 1t
is considerably smaller than the German offensive
strength not much greater than that of Japan.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
Tuesday, March %

Until late today adverse planetary
aspects are strong. 1t is an unfavor-
able rule for any sort of initiative.
Good news is presaged toward
evening.
HEART AND HOME: Bad wea-
Their may accent the feeling of de-
preston and WEAKNESS impaired
by the sinister influence of the
stars. All destructive or negative
ideas should be cast out of the
mind and hard work should prevent
introspection. Parents who worry
because their sons and daughters
may be unable to finish college
courses should look forward to the
time of peace which is to bring a
new order, real civilization This
is a time to walk in faith, believing
in the nearness of victory.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through
necessities caused by war exigen-
cies the American people will pre-
pare unwittingly for a peacetime
in which superfluous privileges and
luxuries of the past will be decard-
ed In the leveling of wealth and
the provision for the poor, real de-
mocracy is to be reality. Children
will be recognized as the most pre-
cious possession of the nation and
will be scientifically reared. This
means that financial systems will
be changed and improved, incomes
and earnings equalized, earnings
and incomes regulated. In other
words, the seers foretell something
strongly suggestive of Socialism
NATIONAL ISSUES: Accusations
OF waste and extravaganza in the
use of war funds amounting to bill
lions will arouse anxiety and sus-
picion, astrologers predict. Early
suspicious of grating and profit
eering which aroused indignations
will crystalline in a way likely to
cause gross injustice, the seerS fore
cast. In the haste and confusion of
preparations for the greatest war
In history waste is unavoidable it
Is explained. Among tens of thou
sands OF persons who handle public
funds and the dishonesty or greed
of few will stand out There is,
however, sign read as presaging
a major scandal centering in Wash
ipgton.
| INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
According to British astrologers the
heaviest conflicts of the war will
take place this year which should
bring decisive victory to the Unit
led Nations, They foretell that i'm
portant International agreements
framed in the White House will
hasten the end of the Second World
War. This does not mean that in
l943 peace will be established, but
it suggests the beginning of pre-
liminary negotiations and sporadic
combats, due to Axis treachery
Again the seers of all countries
warn against negotiated peace
There must be absolute Axis defeat
II there is to be lasting peace
| Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of change in
which far travel will offer great
adventures and dangers.

related species, particularly the dwarf,
fragrant and smooth sumac, may>also
be used for beverage purposes or as a
substitute for lemon juice.
New Jersey tea is shrub which at
tanned great popularity during the Revo-
lutionary War, when its leaves served as
substitute for the unobtainable ORR
entail tea. Near Washington it occurs
as a small bushy shrub found in dry
open woods. The author first became
acquainted with this species over
decade ago when he found it abundant
ly IN the old Civil War trenches and
emplacements south of Chain Bridge
and east of Fort Ethan Allen. The
leaves are to inches long, ovate, saw
tooth-edged, and readily recognized by
the three conspicuous veins The aro-
matte white flowers, appearing in June,
attract hordes of insects. The red root
makes fine dye
The tea is prepared by infusing the
dried leaves in the same manner as
Oriental tea. Cream and sugar may be
added.
Turning from trees and shrubs to
flowers, one may be surprised to learn
of the sweet-scented goldenrod, or Blue
