leave a child with his father while
his mother fights than to leave him
with his mother while his father
fights. A child needs both parents
and who can say that he needs one
more than another?
But the thought of woman leav-
ing her child under those cold-blood-
ed conditions - not because the army
rejected her husband and called her
must be repugnant to the human in
stincts of most people who were not
subjected to the scientific processes
of Mrs. Kunstler's trained mind.
Little Stephens case is an isolated
one and nothing to get excited about.
But we can wonder, can't we, what
kind of service his mother will rem
der in the army that will be more
vital than getting future citizen off
to a decent start in life? And whe-
ther our manpower emergency is
really that urgent? And whether
psychiatry is the business of study
ing the mind effectively or kind
of self-hypnotism? And whether, in
deed, Mrs. Kunstler really had a
motherly instinct?
1t may be, Stephen, that you will
be better off with your dad, at that.

type of reprehensible conduct. Does
it not seem to be high time that action
is taken to put stop to it by re-
quiring that the corporations bear
the entire expense of the advertis-
ing?
Such shoutings in self-praise at
taxpayers expense are not healthy
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
should investigate these advertising
costs and determine the amounts the
government is entitled to receive as
income taxes. The agencies in charge
of renegotiation should also investi-
gate and determine the amounts to
be returned as excessive profits.
Some advertising is proper and q
legitimate expense of doing business
But advertising expenditures should
be paid by the company down to
the last dollar, and in any event
should not be greater than those in
Cured before the war. On top OF
that, advertising references to con-
tributions to the war effort should
be carefully scrutinized. The tax
payer should not pay the cost OF
spreading unfounded claims.
Askov American., 1943-09-30

duction Board revealed that the year
194l was fairly prosperous one
for the mass production industries.
For example: The North American
Aviation Company in l941 made a
profit of SIG per cent on its entire
capital investment, including a sub
Stantial amount of water in its stock
issues. Before paying taxes the corp
oration's profit was 134.53 per cent.
Nor is the North American Avia-
ton Company an exceptional case.
The War Production Board stated
that Consolidated Aircraft's profit
was 94 per cent after taxes had been
paid; that Boeing netted 25 per cent;
Curtiss-Wright, now under fire for
defrauding the government, netted
41.9 per cent; Douglas, 81 per cent;
Brell, 36 per cent; Sperry Gyroscope.
37.9 per cent, and Wright Aeronau-
tical netted 45.7 per cent
That was in 1941. But the July issue
of Exchange Magazine, published by
the New York Stock Exchange, Of
ferS an eye opener as to what some
of the large corporations have done
during the first half of 1943. Accord
ing to Exchange Magazine the avia-
ton companies topped all industries
with net increases of 98.5 per cent.
That is some percentage.
Of 835 companies listed on the ex-
change, 500 paid cash dividends dur
ing the first half of 1943. The rail-
roads paid $88,345,OO to stockhold-
ers, compared with $67 1921 900 paid in
like period last year. Rubber COM
panies increased their dividends 70
per cent and the amusement compa-
nies boosted their dividends 276 per
cent.
These are all signs of a general
prosperity in which most people share
in some degree, but it seems some
what inconsistent for industry to de-
mand that Labor conform to the Lit
tie Steel yardstick of wage increases
at time when the sky appears to be
the only limit on corporation profits.

Set Dimensions OF
Pulpwood Cords

OPA officials this week calls the
attention of pulpwood producers in
this area to a new regulation, effec-
tive September 8, which states that
a cord of pulpwood means an amount
of pulpwood, whether peeled, rossed
or rough, which, when properly pre-
pared and stacked, contains not less
than 1913 cubic feet, plus a four
inch allowance for trim on each
stick. Thus cord is not more than
133 cubic feet including four Inch
trimming allowance.
The change in the definition of a
cord has been made for the purpose
of removing uncertainties as to the
exact coverage intended and accord
ingly continues a customary and es-
tablished trade practice.

Who? Bruno Subordinate Grange

Be sure you are present for very
entertaining evening. We cordially
extend the invitation to everyone to
attend this event. Among our super
special attractions will be war bond
booth where there will be someone
to take your bond pledges. A time
for Mr.. and Mrs. Public to meet and
mingle with Mr.. and Mrs. Average

fun. Make it a date for the 30th then,
and remember your stamp and bond
pledges.
On Wednesday evening, September
%, the Bruno Subordinate Grange
No. 754 held its regular meeting in
the Schoolhouse auditorium. But
members - what is the new meeting
time? $3.50 p. m. promptly - remem-
Der?
After the regular business meet
ing the degree teams went to work.
The new members of the Bruno and
Windemere Oranges took the first
and second degrees at that time.
Windemere members put on the first
degree during which some of the
Bruno members staged a tableau.
Then Bruno put on the second de-
gree, and then Windemere enacted
their tableau. The degree work was
well presented, and both participants
and spectators were definitely i'm
pressed. Indeed, we express sincere
thanks to you, Windemere.
We didn't know then about the
new expiration dates for shoe stamps,
so we really enjoyed our work - if
we had known, every step would
probably have hurt After this we
regained composure and energy by
the fast elimination of very delecta-
BILE sandwiches and cookies and
(mmm) coffee.
Monday, September 27, the Bruno
Grange held potato picking bee at
the j. S. Dracy home. The Grange
potato plot was dug, picked, and
pitted. Everyone present had back
bending good time = and the project
results were very satisfactory.

TAX PROPHECY COMES TRUE
(American Labor Weekly

Just few weeks ago, Congress
passed and the President signed the
modified Ruml Plan, which "forgave'
81 ,OOO, 100000 or $8,OOO,OOO, 900 due
on incomes earned in 1912. It was
camouflaged as "pay-as-you-go
plan." The only pay-as-you-go fea-
ture developed up to date is 20 per
cent withholding tax on workers
wages above a certain figure. AS
was said at the time, it was one OF
the most brazen raids on the Public
Treasury ever perpetrated. The rich
benefited enormously and the poor
and moderately well-to-do very lit
tie.
We predicted at the time that, al
though Congress and the administra-
ton had just tossed $1,000, 100000 or
So, 900, 900, 900 out the window, they
would soon be around figuring on
new taxes, and that men and women
with small incomes would be the
principal goats"
The prophecy is being realized
Senator George, chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Finance, resting
at his home in Georgia, says that if
we boost income taxes in the upper
brackets, we may ''kill the middle
Glass;" and the Senator further opined
that the middle class is the only
force capable of holding the very
rich and the very poor together"
OF course, no sane man wishes to
destroy any class of our citizens.
Senator George must know that.
However, he drags in the middle class
SO as to justify raising the needed
revenue in some other way.
It is dollars to doughnuts that the
way finally hit upon will place the
greater part of the burden on the
man who earns less than So, 900 year
and who is being run ragged" in
his effort to keep ahead of the bill
collector.
