All these restrictions ana pcil9l-
ties en- increases even cover TIC
hiring of new employees at hishC
than prevailing rates. If the r.
Polishing Company has been pay
ing apple polishers 81 an hour, il
can't hire apple polishers away from
the XYz Company at $l.20 an
hour. OF if the ABC Company eX-
pands its operations and opens a
branch TO polish fingernails or bald
heads. it cannot ply more than
the prevailing wage rate for finger
nail or bald head pclishers in that
area.
This regulation is designed, OF
course, to prevent labor nirdtins.
1t also prevents workers from job
shopping. going from one emplo'er

to bid against each other for tn,

BENEFITS FROM
PAYING ON THE WAY

Pay-aS-you-go income tax methods,
gathering momentum in congreSslona
circles, cannot be enacted too quickly
for the sake of Americas fiscal position.
No matter how heavy the taxes, II VIII
be easier for all but the very rich to pay
them on a weekly or monthly basis. IN
der any other program every taxpayer
gradually acquires a heavy debt, and
then must pay it all off at Once-or else.
Most of us are not good at budgetlng
our weekly or monthly incomes. There
is no use pretending that we are. Our
normal practice is to attempt to take
care of obligations as they come up. With
taxes as heavy as they are going to be
for few years-and possibly for many
years-no such hit-Or-miSs practice VIII
work Under the present system OF pay
ing taxes, lot of us will be staggered, II
not entirely knocked out, when the total
bill comes in.
With taxes on pay-as-you-go basis.
on the other hand our budgeting will be
done for us. We will regulate our per
sonal lives accordingly-and not look
forward to an overwhelming debt for
which we have, somehow, been unable to
make any provision.
Pav-as-you-go income taxes will have
another highly desirable result. The fed
eral government will not have to operate
on expectancy, but will know each month
how much in taxes will be derived from
the income levy. Federal financing
should be considerably more efficient
under such system-more efficient. and
more in tune with the economic times;
In wartime, pay-as-you-go taxes will
provide a type of insurance for the post
war era of which we are liable to stand
badly in need If we continue under our
present income taxing system-that is,
taxing last years income this year
there will come a time when the govern
ment will face an impossible task of col.
lection. Men now working will be out OF
Jobs; if they have not already paid their
taxes through a pay-as-you-go system
there will be no way in which they can
pay. The government will be out the
money, and the men will be under fin
ancial cloud.
A pay-as-you-go income tax system
should be substituted for the present cum
bersome system as soon as possible, with
out leaving any bitter hangover of double
taxation in one year.

There are 100000 new taxpayers
who did not prepare to pay income taxes
on their 1912 incomes. They did not

that they would be taxed at all. The

TIGHTER BELTS

Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard, who is also food administrator re-
ported to the President this week that
the food situation in the United States
is far more serious than many people
realize-that tighter belts and simpler
diets are going to be the rule during the
next twelve months, and possibly longer.
The country's answer will not come in
words. 1t will come in a simple gesture
the gesture of hitching up belt an
other notch or two.
America is able and willing to face
whatever comes, in the assurance that
the things we do will bring victory. There
will be some grumbling, there will be
some criticism, there will be some OBJ
jections Americans must pop Off. But
in the final shOwdowns, Americans will
put up with virtually anything-with the
exception of bungling inefficiency-ln
order to win the war.
We know that we are still the best fed
nation on earth. We realize that we will
remain so, in all probability, in spite of
these impending so-called sacrifices.
Every notch in our belts draws the
moose tighter around Hitler's throat.
That is the way VT want it.
