Ability -tO-Pay Violated.

The principle used by the Rumlites
in distributing the benefits of tax
cancellation is Numerically opposed
to the principle of ability-to-pay.
They proposed the full cancellation
of years taxes for everybody, which
in effect meant that the rebates would
increase as incomes increased. The
man with a $4,000 income would get
a benefit of $l4O in tax cancellation,
and the man with a million dollar
income would get 1854, 900 in the
form of tax cancellation.
The compromise finally presented
to the House and Senate by the con-
ference committee cancels rs per-
cent of one years taxes for each tax
payer instead of the 100 per cent
proposed by the RumliteS. Never
theless, it contains the Ruml prin-
ciple for the distribution of the bene-
fits of tax cancellation. The higher
the income, the greater the forgive
ness.
Under the compromise adopted the
forgiven $1O5 of taxes and the man
with a million dollar income will
be allowed to keep $64O,00O of the
amount he owed the government for
one years taxes.
The Ruml plan would have
cancelled between eight and nine
billion dollars worth of tax lia-
bilities owed the government.
The compromise plan cancels be-
tween six and seven billion dol
lars worth of tax liabilities.
The flagrant way in which the
ability-to-pay principle has been
flouted in the enactment of this leg
islation can be regarded as a warn
ing of what is to come. 1t is the
handwriting on the wall.
Taxes are going to be increased.
That has been evident from the be-
ginning of the year when the Presi-
dent submitted his budget message to
Congress.
The 25 per cent double-up of 1912
and 1943 taxes under the compro-
mise agreement is now being used
by the Rumlites as an excuse for
"stabilizing" income tax rates for two
years. It will be but short step
now to proposing general sales tax,
and then the people of this country
will find out what kind Of bill of
goods has been sold to them.

WASHINTON, Feb. 9-Comple-
ton OF the permanent phase of the

plete last year nearly 1852 miles
IF pioneer road with camps, land
ing fields, telephone lines and
lumber camps could be read be-
sween the lines of the factual re-
port by the engineers.
Macdonald described the abrupt
termination of the smoothly-oper-
ating program toward the end Of
last year SO contractors organiza-
lions could be diverted for the
construction of the pioneer Army
road to assure completion by the
end of 1912.
The Commissioner said "the as
sistance thus offered was instru-
mental in permitting the Army to
open the road formally on Mo-
vember co."
Many of the contractors and
men are remaining on the road
throughout the winter, he said, to
perform such work for the Army
as requires the use Of skilled work
men. Others are establishing camps
for next seasons operations, haul
ing supplies, clearing right-of-
ways, and performing other Incl
dental work to insure a resump-
ton of operations on major scale

In a report issued to members

Mr. Boyle states that the war

attitude Says the Auditor in his
report:
Heretofore it was generally un-

not be incurred unless there was a
valid reason for it, based on the
following:
First, that there were sufficient
funds in the treasury; second, that
the Legislature made an appropria-

Cons Are Given
BY ADELAIDE KERR
AP Feature Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. y Tn e
first legislative measure laid before
the 18th Congress is one of vital
Importance to every woman in the
world.
1t is a proposed amendment to
the Constitution giving the women
of the United States equal rights
with men.
Though it is not new proposal
it was introduced this year with
the biggest Congressional support
it has ever had-40 representatives
introduced it in the House and
81 Senators will sponsor its intro
duction in the Senate. 1t is offered
as a corollary to the 10th amend
ment (Which gave women the vote)
and is simply phrased in ID words;
Men and women shall have equal
rights throughout the United States
and every place subject to its jur-
isdiction."
The amendment has raised legal
questions which have divided the
opinion of women's organizations.
Backing it strongly are the Ma
tional Womans Party, which spon-
sored it, the National Federation
of Business and Professional Wo-
mems Clubs, and Is other national
organizations. Opposing it are the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, the National League of Wo-
men Voters, and various other or
CARNATIONS and labor groups.

African political mess.
The inside story goes back to
the days before the landing of
American troops, when all the top
political leaders in North Africa
knew that an American expedition
was coming. The Berlin radio had
heralded this weeks before, and
when the first Allied convoy ar
rived at Gibraltar to wait for an
other, the Nazis even broadcast the
name of every ship.
But the Nazis and the high
ranking French made one mistake
They never dreamed that British
and U. S. ships would dare come
inside the Mediterranean and land
at Algiers. They thought the land
ings would be only at Casablanca
and Dakar. So, to meet that at
tack, Gen. Nogues shifted his
troops to Casablanca
That was why the fighting was
stiff around Casablanca, and why
Algiers and neighboring ports sur
rendered Immediately. That was
also why Admiral Darlan was
taken by surprise at Algiers. He
never dreamed we would land that
far west.

Frefiehu1en to lay down their arms.
However. Gen., Giraud proved not

In its present stage it is merely
a proposal and even before it reach

At present, however, it is SIM

out this return as usual and that
will be your 'yardstick" for max
ing payments (nine of them start

Then next year, when you made

balance off your tentative pay

Treasury any deficiency or receiv-

between what income you computed

At the same time, you would be

If your marital status changes
