loss to the government if the Ruml pay
as-you-earn income tax proposal is
adopted was Mr.. Rumls own. His plan
would benefit the Tresaury. Mr.. Ruml
contends, by substituting live income for
dead assets. It is the money in ones
pockets that pays for purchases - not
the accounts due" Perhaps by accident
though it would appear to be by de-
liberate intent the Ruml plan has
been made to appear complicated. It is
not. The many half-considered alterna-
tives are But the Ruml plan itself is
so simple that any taxpayer can under
stand 1t. Beginning whenever Congress
may decide - provided public opinion
wins this tax war we taxpayers will
have income tax payments deducted
weekly from our pay envelopes or other
sources Of income.
March IS, 1914, and annually there
after, we will report to the Treasury on
our years income. Most of the tax will
have been paid. If there is balance
due, either way, the adjustment will be
made. That is all there is to it. The
rest is mass of complication introduced

The Four Freedoms

This is fitting title and subject OF
the newest stamp to be issued. The one
cent stamp was issued for the first time
on the anniversary of the birth OF Abra-
ham Lincoln last Friday. A fitting day
for fitting stamp. The President pur-
chased one dollar sheet of them.
On the stamp is pictured Liberty hold
ing the lighted torch of freedom and en-
lightenment. During these dark days Of
war and uncertainty, uncertainty Of what
is to come when the war is eventually
over, the new stamp theme is timely
and important one. It is to be hoped that
the stamp will mean much more than
it's intrinsic value of one cent: that it
viii, mean much to those who buy it free
ly and carelessly. There is sermon on
its face, the lesson derived from the four
freedoms which are
Freedom of Speech, freedom of Re-
ligion, freedom Of Assembly and freedom
of the Press; from which slim the newer
freedom from Want, and freedom
from Fear. There you have it. They are
within the comprehension Of all. Every
Christian realizes their Importance to
man in his pursuit of right living and
happiness. It is realized that freedom is
dearly bought. We are still fighting for it.

Women At War

The activities of American women at
war; that is to say taking the place OF
men who are in active duty, occupy con-
siderable space in Our daily columns Each
group has expanded since individual
Inauguration. Each group is important
in it's particular branch. They accept
the daily jibes, jokes and fun poked at
them in cartoon and paragraph. But the
women 60 right on signing up IN the
various "Women in the Service"
branches
The public relations department OF the
General Federation of Womens CLUBS
gives a few important and valuable sta
tistics taken from publication OF the
Federation. First off it is important 10
know, as is pointed out, that the women
at home though not in a uniform OF
some particular group, are serving IN the
little matters of salvaging fats, scrap, ana
buying for their homes in the manner
prescribed Then there are, it seems,
over 1000 women in the FBI. We would
not venture to say how many are doing
work in the war factories. There is also
the very big number in the WAVES,
WAACS, SPARS, and so on.
You. will discover if you take the
trouble that very big percentage are
serving as volunteers in the Red Cross
(all branches). Women are willing to do
all they can, women whose homes are
emptied by departing sons and daugh-
tiers. There are homes though, that still
have the average number, infants, small
children, and teen age children. In such
homes, it should be remembered that the
parents duty is first to their home and
children, then to the many important
var services. The family life is import
ant today as never before, and the home
should not be sacrificed, as they say, for
the good of the cause. A little intelli-
gence in this respect is all that is needed.
