AS far back as biblical days, the
tax collector was an unpopular per-
son.
Today you don't see the tax col
lector but you know who writes the
tax laws and the folks who do (con-
gress) lead a most unhappy life.
especially in an election year such
as we are approaching.
The complicated problem they
face can be simply stated-think it
over and figure out what you would
do II you had to write a tax law.
The problem is this: how to collect
the most dollars and lose the least
votes.
Soak the rich? Well, they have
the money and il hurts them the
least, but unfortunately there are
not enough of them to soak. 1t is
too bad because they are so few in
number that their votes don't mat

the biggest total but they are the
ones with the votes.

billion dollars to run the war this
year. The treasury says that out of
every dollar collected, 30 cents goes

$2O3, OOO,OOO,OOO Unexpended!

Senator Harry F. Byrd has given the nation an
amazing and highly important piece OF information in
disclosing that the Federal government has hand
900 of unexpended funds appropriated by
the SeventySeventh and Seventy Eighth Congresses.
The war; says Senator Byrd, has been costing about
900 per year of actual cash outlay There
FORE the Senator points out it should be entirely pos
sibe to carry on for approximately two more years
without approprating one penny in additional funds
for purposes ut is assumed OF course, that the
Senator like all the rest of u.s. would readily to
additional appropriations if clearly demonstrated neces
sity required them).
If there is any member of Congress more qualified
than Senator Byrd to demand accounting of the
huge Federal appropriations we do not know who it
could be- Senator Byrd not only heads the Senate COM
mittee Federal expenditures but he has voted for
every appropriation bill carrying funds for war pur
poses He is certainly in ideal position to advise the
nation on the governments financial status
What should interest the people most in this dis
closure is the fact that Senator Brds figures have not
been challenged by the Administration. We must con-
cude, therefore that the figures substantially cor
every taxpayer to watch closely the Administrators
requests for additional appropriations when Congress
meets again.
It has also been pointed out in connection with SEN
ator Byrds report that almost all of the 2O3 billions of
unexpended balances have been voted in such way that
the President transfer funds from account to
another he fit. Thus, the President could
the funds already appropriated for any purposes
he chooses, without the necessity of asking Congress
for more money this year.
The President, in other words, is right almost
independent of Congress far finances con-
cerned He apparently has plenty of funds to carry
for long time to come.
It is rumored that requests for huge additional
appropriations to be presented the next session of
Congress- Senator Byrds report to indicate that
further appropriations hardly necessary this year
1t seems reasonable to ask why the President with
203 billions of dollars in unexpended balances hand
to be used almost he chooses, should be planning to
ask Congress for more money now?
satisfactory answer to this question seems in
order Congress, especially the House of Representa-
tves has constitutional control the nations purse
strings Congress has up to abdicated that control
under the stress of But there is growing national
demand that the peoples representatives recapture
authority the nations finances. This is surely
sound and truly American manifestation.
There is no better way for Congress to resume its
proper place in form of than to demand
taxpayers money in the light of the Byrd report

Wilson'S Views

Predicting wars and rumors of wars" in the future,
Representative Carl Vinson of Georgia, Chairman of
the Naval Affairs Committee says that nothing
tributes to more than the failure of govern
ment to be prepared for war"
Mr.. Vinson therefore, suggests that the United
States keep its fleet intact and refrain from any post
commitments which might lead to the scrapping
of useful naval vessels
The Georgian sees no prospect of radical changes in
naval construction He is of the opinion that the nation
cannot depend entirely battleships or submarines

thing-the whole team"

Planning For War Until 1919

The Navy is planning for in the Pacific as late
in 1949 according to official admission but this does
not that naval officials have idea that the
will not end until 1949.
Obviously, the admirals know that war is tricky
business and that misfortune cancel good fortune
without notice explanation. Consequently they
not afford to take chance any optimistic confidence
as to what will happen in the current war.
While it may be hard for plain civilian to foresee
any possibility of warfare late 1949 it should be
comforting to every American that officials planning
for the worst At least if the war does last we will
not have been unprepared for the emergency
when the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941.

80 there hs I been a number OF
schemes concocted which are aimed
at getting the nervous dollars. the
ones most likely to create imitation.
Presumably they are the dollars that
belong to the people who are now
getting lot more money than they
did before the war. II would be just
to take the excess profits" to pay
for the war especially because the
people who are getting a lot more
than they are used to are the ones
who spend most freely.
So compulsory savings has been
suggested. That is, making Uncle
Sam collect a part of everybody's
income, which would be returned
after the war. Then there Is a
scheme to tax spending. In other
words, tax the dollars which are
spent on extras, dollars that get
back into circulation and push up the
imitation spiral. Not the dollars that
go into homes or life insurance or
paying old debts, but the dollars

you need to wear, more food and
drink than you need to absorb,
more gadgets than you ought to get
along with in wartime.
Then there is another tax-the
personal excess income tax.

money that you are receiving now

Lacking r .,ulo y

None Of these methods is popular.
There is a sentimental objection to
compulsory savings. 1t smacks, ac-
cording to its opponents, too much
Of totalitarianism, of an interior.
ence with the individuals personal
habits. The President is opposed to
it-and his wife agrees with him
the treasury is opposed to it. =
The spending tax is said to be too
complicated and likewise appears to
be unpopular with the treasury.
Then there is this personal excess
income tax Of which you will soon
be hearing more. The chief objec-
ton to that tax seems to be that it
is too hard to work out; that it is
too hard to make it just and fair.
Even the Nazis who tried it gave it
up after about years trial.
When the personal excess income
tax comes up, you will hear many
arguments against it. Like many of
these other ''unorthodox" methods,
1t requires the establishment of what
is called base period" to estab-
fish comparison. That is, some
period of time during which the
amount earned by the individual is
taken as base. Then what he is
making now is compared with that
base" and the difference taxed.
But that is pretty hard thing to
work out because so many adjust
ments would have to be made for
special cases that the, government
would never be able to examine each
case and pass on it fairly.
Take the young doctor. The year
before the war. he may have been
graduated from medical school.
Probably he had little or no income
then. Then he begins to practice
and in wartime, doctors are in de-
mand. He may have made a fair
income this year. Would it be fair
to tax the "excess" if it were the diff
ference between this years earning
and the base period" when he was
earning nothing at all?

Too Many Inequ;ties

Then there are many men who
are getting more money now be-
cause they work longer hours or
have received just and deserved pro-
motions-all these things immedi-
ately come into the picture when you
begin to straighten out the inequi-
ties, when you really try to tax a
just percentage Of a mans income.
And so the predictions which are
being made in Washington now are
that the next tax bill will be pretty
orthodox" affair, 1t will simply
have about the same kind of exemp-
tons, little higher percentage tax,
and will be rushed through at the
last minute after as many members
of congress have objected to the
clauses which they think will be UNI
popular with their constituents. The
government needs the money and
needs It quickly. The people don't
want to be taxed any more than
can be helped and the congressman
will lean over backwards trying to
please the people.
Meanwhile. the treasury tells us
that most Of the money which is be-
ing earned due to the great in
crease in production caused by the
war is going to people whose in
comes are less than $1,000 a year
seven-eighths Of it. So at least seven
eighths of the taxes ought to come
from that group.
