On The
Capitals Cuff
By VIRGINIA GARDNER
BY Federated Press
WHO PAYS AS HE GOES

The whole pay-as-you-go issue
being raised in stories and news
screen which conceals the essential
question, "Who pays as he goes?"
paper columns praising the Rpml
plan these days is fine smoke
A month ago we disclosed the
strategy of former Gov. o. Max
Gardner of North Carolina, former
Undersecretary of Treasury John
W. Hanes, Hearst executive and
director and shipping magnate, and
other behind-the-scenes big time
tax lobbyists.
That strategy was to center atten-
tion on the pay-as-you-go feature
of the Ruml plan, sugar it up by
favoring not the entire forgiveness
for a years taxes but their amorti-
cation over a long period after the
war (it sounds better) and then
add a sales tax if it seems congress
can get away with it.
Or, as Gardner says, sales
tax only if necessary. That means,
if necessary to let corporations
escape further taxation. He said
frankly he thought it likely that
his close friend Chairman Walter
F. George d., Ga.) of the Senate
Finance committee and others
would favor a modified Ruml plan,
increased Victory tax and a sales
tax if the Treasury insisted on
still more taxes.
That line is being followed. A
lot of flowery stuff is being put
out about the Ruml plan and even
the Presidents words and Treas
ury spokesman's speech in New
York were twisted by the press to
make it seem they favored the
Ruml plan.
We checked again with the
Treatury Jan. IA and got clear
statement that while the Treasury
for years has favored a withhold
ing tax or collection at the source,
that is only a method of collection,
and is not tax bill, and certain
ly not the Ruml plan.
FoRGIvING 1912 TAXES
If there is any forgiveness of
1912 taxes, as advocated by the
big industrialists favoring the
Ruml plan, the Treasury would
agree to it only in the lower brack-
cts - which would hardly suit
George, Chair rman Robert l..
Doughton ID, n. c. of the House
Ways and Means committee and
other reactionary tax bill makers.
Doughton is not for forigving
the years taxes but his chief con-
cern is to tax business less. "We
don't have to take orders from the
Treasury" as he says.
They're letting the appeaser Sen
Robert A. Taft (R., o. carry the
ball on the sales tax. He favors a
1870 sales tax
That would complete the picture
and put the main part of the bur
den on the small wage earners. If
they get a sales tax and an in
creased Victory tax through con-
gress and the lush profits of 1912
they're trying TO protect get off
scott free the workers will be really
paying through the nose.
In the Ruml plan the tax would
be based on what they expect to
make this year. There are plenty
of chances for finagling there if
you nave a big income, at least
until the end of the year-but Of
course it would be simple TO with
hold from paychecks, where there's
nothing complicated like business
losses to figure in.
Behind the reactionaries' tax
schemes is a determination to scrap
the $4,000 limit on incomes.

Job
For Farmers

One of the most important jobs
farmers can do at this time of the year
is to gather up all of their farm imple-
mcnts. clean them off, paint the wood
work, oil the metal parts and store them
away for the winter, according to I. W.
Carson. county agent.
Thousands of dollars each year are
lost in the wasting away Of farm imple-
ments, exposed to weather. The metal
parts rust and this is one of the CHIEF
causes of breakage and inefficient per-
Torrance when the implement is put to
use.
Such parts as pillow shares. mold
boards, furrow openers, cultivator
shovels. sickle blades, spades, shovels,
saws, sleeves and knotters should be
taken care of as have never been before.
These implements are very hard to re-
place and if the war continues another
twelve months, very few farmers will
be able to replace any of them.
One of the best ways for a farmer to
show his patriotism at this time is 20
take care of his farm implements, ton
cIuded the county agent.

Clinics Aid v-D
Program In State;
10000 Patients

The patient load of Mississippi vene-
real disease clinics has almost doubled
in the past two years said Pacl AIRING
ton. State Board of Health supervisor
of Venereal Disease Investigators, put
ting the current total of patients under
treatment at 10000. Discussing the
contribution of the investigator toward
getting these patinets under treatment,
Mr.. Arlington said that with the CO.
operation of physicians, draft boards,
local law enforcement agencies, and mill
| itary authorities the special ~veneral
disease investigator had proved himself
a valuable addition to the control pro-
gram.
Quitting the Investigators duties, Mr..
Arlington explained that the primary
function is to place the selectee, who
has been rejected by the draft board be-
cause he has SYPHILIS or gonorrhea, under
treatment. The investigator seeks to
keep the ~selectee under treatment, and to
give examination and possible treatment
to all persons whose contact with the
s~electee constitutes an exposure to his
infection.
All patients who fail to report regu-
larly for treatment are investigated, as
, we'll as persons reported by military
authorities as the source of infection
to army personnel. In tracing these
delinquent patients and contacts, the
investigator has usually had the hearty
cooperation of local law enforcement
| officers, Said Mr.. Arlington. 49,
Employers of venereal disease patti
| ents on farms and in industries" he
continued, "are likewise helpful when
the program is intelligently presented
to them. In fact, employers readily
see treatment for their infected workers
as protection against loss of time and
money due to absenteeism.'
Stating that the investigators are con-
tributing toward bringing about a bet
ter understanding on the part of the
public toward the venereal disease con-
troll program, Mr.. Arlington said that
the as investigators now at work in
practically every county in the state
carry on an educational program through
motion pictures. distribution of litera-
ture, and talks
with the continued cooperation of
private industries and public officials"
said Mr.. Arlington, "these workers will
continue to carry the message of health
to the people of Mississippi"

GOODMAN
DEDICATION SERVICE OF
THE CHURCH

On Sunday, October 3lst, a service Of
dedication was held at the Methodist
Church in Goodman, Miss
Plans for this church were begun and
pledges made in 1923. during the pasto-
rate of Rev. Julian Duncan. The next
year the building was begun. Many
financial reverses nave made the on
gregation unable to finish the pledges
and pay eff the debt, and many times
the interest was all that could be paid
in a year. But this year, 1943, with
the Rev. f. c. Driskell as pastor. and
with his splendid leadership, the last
note has been met.
The Rev Lord, District S~uperintend-
ent, came over from Greenwood and led
the impressive dedicatory service, and
delivered a splendid message. The
church was beautifully decorated with
autumn leaves and yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS. The sextette from the college
sang "The Lords Prayer" and Miss
Rosa Wyse Forde played Gounod's ave
Maria" a violin solo, both accompanip red
by Mrs. McKie.

early part of 1914, and it will be some
time after that before full-scale pro-
duction will be possible.

Higher ceiling prices for some of the

rayon hosiery have been established by

Recently an efficient secretary got
married and she put her experience to
work in order to make all wedding
arrangements come out smoothly. She
had the ~organist, minister, and flower
girls right on time, hired a bus and
two autos to carry the guests from the
church to the house for the reception,
remembered to order the refreshments,
and everything went like clockwork, that
is until the guests crowded around her
home for the congratulations and best
wishes. Then it was discovered that the
bridegroom wasn't Thereon anywhere
to be seen. One of the party jumped
into the car and hurried back to the
church. Sure enough, there he was,
standing fo%rlornly, forgotten, on the
steps.

sitting next to him. He tried to read
desperation he winked at a little lady
on the other side of him and started a

The story of a man beating up his
English law once provided that a man
could beat his wife if he used a stick
no thicker than his thumb. But a case
appeared in court here the other day
in which a little man had hired another
to do the mauling. He was Frank Mata,
a forty-one year old seaman who has
been lodging Axis submarines without
fear for several years. But apparently
he is afraid of Mrs. Mata because he
offered a friend, John Castro, one hun
bred dollars if he would beat up Mrs.
Mata, who was living with a ladyfriend
of hers and would not return home.
Castro was smart. He went to Mrs.
Mata, told her about the proposition and
assured her he would not beat her up
il she would bandage herself up so well
that she would appear to have been
beaten-and he would get his hundred
daflars anyway. But Mrs. Mata told
the police. Now both men are in Jail.
