Rich Mans Tax

The administration in Washington President Roosevelt, Speaker Rayburn, General Counsel Paul of the Treasury is on record in favor of a pay-as-you- earn tax. It objected to the Ruml plan on the ground that if 1042 tax liabilities were excused" rich men might profit from "windfalls". Now Treasury Secre- tary Morgenthau says that the admins trati0n is 100 per cent behind the Ways and Means Committee tax measure. This Is not a pay-as-you-earn bill, and 1t is n0toriously a rich mans windfall. MT. RumI and the vast majority of Americans who favor his plan have accepted the administration argument against permit ting even a few wealthy persons to bene- fif from reform of the taxing system. The Carlson bill, embOdying the Ruml plan, provides against this possibility. The Ways and Means monstroslty, on the other hand, invites those who have money to "come and get it." Yet the admins tration lis behind the committee bill 100 per cent"
 If the committee bill should become law the average taxpayer could do either of two things. He could continue on year-behind,/ always-in-debt basis - and most would do 90, and we should have no pay-as-yOu-earn tax system. Or he could squeeze out Of one years pay envelopes enough to pay the heaviest two years taxes in American history. Few would do that.
 How about the 'rich man." the fellow with savings in the bank or g good sheaI of war bonds in the safe deposit box?
 He could withdraw the savings or seA

Recap Those Tires

With spring rounding the corner and hot weather just ahead, now is the time for every automobile owner to see whether any of his tires need recapping. Govern ment experts estimate that one out of every four on passenger cars do need such attention. There are no formalities. Just give the order to your tire dealer.
 Those who are careless run the risk of having their tires get into such con- dition that they cannot be saved at all There are no replacements for tires thus destroyed. Their loss will mean that the car has to be laid up, probably until late 1914 or some time in 1945, if not longer.

Publicity Economies

The Office of War Information is proud that 42,S17,OOO copies of international publications and press releases have been eliminated to save manpower, paper, printing, and mailing facilities. The re- auction is about 20 per cent under 1S4O, the OWI reports.
 This is good Having done so well, the OWI perhaps should not be chided for falling 50 or SO per cent short of per- lection. So we merely point out that another 50 million copies - or its equiva- lent including reduction in size-could easily and profitably be eliminated. The mails still are swamped with claptrap which the recipients must pay porters to cart away unread.

Che bonds (has 1Er. Morgenthau consid- cred that posslblllty9) and earn 6 per cent on his money by paying up lo4S taxes before June IS.
 That is a better return than is avail able from war bonds or any other moder- ately safe investment.
 If the administration really IS 100 per cent behind the committee bill, what becomes of its lip service to pay-as-you- earn plan? How should we evaluate it's talk about opposing the Ruml plan out of consideration for the poor and out of dislike for giving any prosperous tax payer break?
 Why is the administration against the Ruml plan? Isn't it for purely political reasons - because alert Republicans were smart enough to climb first onto the most popular tax bandwagon that has rolled down the pike in many a gen. eration?

Winter Lingers

When winter has about petered out we do not slide gracefully into spring. On the contrary we experience some days of very low temperatures. The milk is still capable of freezing on the back porch and although Junior is going all over the square, first on his bicycle then on his roller skates, there is still ice in the gutter, if not winter in the air.
 The transitional period is often a rather long drawn-out affair. The winter breakup means ice melting in the rivers, swelling same, and then with early rains come the floods. Some years we pass safely through the period, other years we do not. Scarcely ever is there year when floods do not create havoc in some locality. This is more often the case in the Pennsylvania-O Ohio and farther south regions. At the present time the flood danger is threatening in Alabama, Geor- gia, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Ohio River is its usual menacing self. There has been some evacuation in certain areas but thus far no major devastation has been announced.
 Tn the New England states there has been no semblance of an early spring. No first warm days have visited our states and winter is still lingering. Weather predictions for the month are somewhat gloomy; rain or snow or both, high winds, stormy and unpleasant. The exit of March, whether like lamb or like lion is anybodys guess at the moment.

The Appropriations Committee of the General Assembly in Hartford were to have presented Tuesday afternoon a 5O-year state forestry program. This was Gov ernor Baldwin measure and one designed to reestablish the farm woodlot as "a cash asset for the owner and conServa- tion of the states soil, wood and water" The bill proposes that the owner retain title to the property but the forestry will be under state forester who will direct replanting and thinning. The owner in this way profits from his timber, and the state is reimbursed for expenditures of such improvements that will increase the timber growth. There will be an agree ment between the owner and the state. The bill also provided for an appropria- ton of sum of money for indirect aid to the farm-forestry program.

A Thought for Today
Two POunds a Week

m no time now we will all have started on the two pounds of meat a week schedule. Thinking about it now IS much more difficult than the actual rationing. Two pounds a week. can never manage. You hear that on all sides. You never thought you would live through days when you would have to deny yourself good-sized sirloin or eight or ten lamb chops for the plat du jour.
 The man of hearty appetite who ord cred steak every time he dined out is beginning to realize that steak is not a must. You can live without it. So when you buy your two pounds worth for your self and the same for each member of the family you are not going to mind 1t at all. The thing you DO mind is the scarcity now. It's nice to have the butcher say yes, have calves liver today, although you never were much of liver eater at best.
 Your two pounds week is going to nourish you. The thing to fear the most right now is the price. Are you going to be required to spend your whole good sized weekly pay check or your mere pit tance on the food that you must eat? In the book of Matthew you will come across the words of his narrative in which he says in words something like this; be not SolicitouS about these things, the wearables and the eatables. You are then told to consider the lilies of the field. There are many lessons apropos to the time and the occasion today that are written in the Holy Bible narratives, words of wisdom that we can never find elsewhere. The two pounds week era approaches, SO let's make the best of it.

Ohio Progresses

Recently we mentioned the Franklin county (Ohio) plan to serve legal papers by registered mail. Now comes word that Sheriff George R. Steinmetz of Tiffin, Ohio, is summoning jurors by postcard instead of sending court officers driving all over the county.
 Some of the saving can be judged from the fact that last year Sheriff Steinmetz and his deputies travelled 2O64 miles to serve jury notices personally. The new system conserves gasoline, oil, rubber, and manpower. Score another for Ohio courts.

courage enough to stop thinking about his personal safety for mos ment and to think about the c0ndi- ton of his spiritual life is a hero indeed. This man not only wanted to be free; he wanted to be worthy of the gift God would accord him.
 Some people are not lit to be free. Because of this, God allows the prison.like walls of unhappy cir- cumtance to Dc erected about them. There are many who are not it to receive the gifts they ardently pray for. One Of the certain truths about prayer is that God will always give us the thing that is best for us.
 There must be some reason why we have to suffer certain things. Sometimes we cannot see the reason. but that does not mean that there is no reason. We live in a rational universe, and there is 6 reason for everything. If we are not free, it may be that we are not fit to be free. God in His mercy is not going to give us something which would hinder the progress of our souls.

Press Comment
PROPHECIES OF MIR. WELLS
 (New York Timesl

N4NOW q 0AA . AAAAN0S
 Those who live by writing. edit ing and publishing newspapers and books cannot be expected to react favorably to H. c. Wells's declara- ton this week that the newspaper is "as dead as mutton" and the bound book likely to disappear. Mir. Wells's further prediction that we may be entering a period in which pamphlets will serve to "ventilate ideas" will help somewhat, but not much. In the one case the prophet of things to come" is running ahead of probabilities. Tn the other he is tagging behind them. Present. day writers, editors and publishers have their peculiar interests, but surely they serve public interest. too.
 The radio and, to some extent, the motion picture have indeed supple mented the printed word. It has come to a point where a newspa- per man, arrived home from the point where all wires converge, may learn from his wife the latest news. The cinema gives us an insight that writers find 1t hard to convey. But the radio is no newspaper. We have to take as 1t comes. We can't turn pages and pick out what we want. The eye can skip; the ear cannot. The newspaper reader is the master of his time in choosing what he wants to read, and how much of it. and what he doesn't want to read. The radio listener is the slave of the broadcaster's editorial section, his curtness or prolixity. The field for radio remains, but cannot be- come exclusive.
 As for pamphlets, they were tried two or three centuries ago. The newspaper replaced them.

ATTACKS ON THE RUkL PLAN
 (New York Sun)

At his press conference on Friday the President gave two principal reasons for his opposition to the RumI Plan. One is that it would yield the government less revenue than the present system; the other that 1t would favor those with large incomes. The first objection will not bear close examination, for the question of yield is not matter of the Ruml Plan weighed against some other plan. but . matter of tax rates. Congress can change the tax rates in the future, as 1t has in the past. to make the taxpayers yield the desired revenue to the government.
 As for the second objection, that would be valid if there were no way to overcome 1t. It was one of the first objections raised to the Rumi plan and Mir. Ruml himself took coenizance of it and himself sug-

AHFRUf.ANT TREATMENT or TFRmNfIA IN THE ARMY

Several soldiers have submitted e query concerning treatment os hernia which I am not competent to answer. If a man has had Q hernia for several years, and fl the draft board ace9ts him nevertheless, and then aAUer he begins military training he suffers more trouble from the hernia the draft board l physician refused to say the recruit had, can the army authorities compel him to undergo the radical operation for cure of his hernia against his will? Some of these sol- diers say they want to have the injection treatment and they are unwilling to take the risk of Q major operation.
 whether the army can compel such a soldier to have the operation I don't know.
 The surgeon-General's oflice made Q ruling that it makes no dif- ference whether man has been cured of hernia by operation or by infection treatment so far as his fit- ness for military service is con- cerned.
 The medical officer who is sur gical chief of a large army hospital l, informs me he has recently operat- ed on half @ dozen soldiers for her. nia--soldiers who had been "cured" of hernia by injection treatment. Their ''cure," he says, seemed all right while they worked as clerks or similar sedentary jobs, but the hernia recurred after they got into the strenuous activity of military | training.
 The surgeon then spoke his mind about a certain class of near-doc- tors whose education is not stand- ardized but who undertake to treat hernia by injection.
 I agreed with the army surgeon that too many unqualified and un- trained persons attempt the ambu- lant treatment of hernia, and their bungling gives the method bad name. Not @ few of these bunglers are regular physicians of the best standing, good enough in their proper fields, but the trouble Is so I uldIly QOCVO4S Juot AAHOC " oSAAtAs " colleague can teach them anything they go ahead blindly on their own hook and naturally their re- suits are unsatisfactory. No one should dare to treat hernia by in jections until he has taken instruc- ton in the technique from physi- clan who is a master of such treat- ment.
 Not all recruits in the forces now in training necessarily do strenuous work. For many of them. if they have hernia, the ambulant (injec- tion) treatment would be quite as effective as the radical operation is, and their work or training would not be interrupted for several weeks at government expense.
 Nevertheless the ambulant treat ment would be my choice if l had hernia--and I don't mind having Q nice clean major operation, if 1t is necessary. My chance of cure would be at least as good under ambu- lant treatment as it would be un- der the radical operation.

The situation has gone so far that scores of American maga- zines, before going to press, send their manuscripts to the represen- tative of Bishop John ?. Noll, of the Catholic National Organiza- ton for Decent Literature, where they are examined.
 The MOLD office is at 1872 Massachusetts avenue. Washing ton, and is under the supervision of William Smith, who reports to Bishop Noll in Ft. Wayne, Ind. It has no connection at all with the Government, except as 8 volun- teer adviser to Frank Walkers Post Office Department.
 Through the powerful weapon of removing magazines from the second class mailing list. a most effective censorship is being used daily. Undoubtedly some cen- sorship of magazines may be necessary. Certainly no one wants the U. s. mails, which are sub. sidlzed by the Government, used for the distribution of salacious literature. However. the MOLD has set itself up as the unofficial censor.
 Here is one report from William Smith, head of the office in Washington, to his chief, Bishop Noll, which shows how the sys- tenn works:

gested notifications of the plan to, prevent windfalls under it. In the bill recently introduced by Repre- sentative Carlson of Kansas there IS similar recognition of the necessity for preventing windfalls. Whether at the e20 900 level or at some other. 1t is easy enough to adapt the Rumi Plan to the principle of taxation according to ability to pay. What is not SO easy. as the House Ways and Means Committee can testify, Is to find a substitute for the Ruml Plan that Is as simple and has as much appeal as the plan itself. 7.
