Paw as You Go

A MERlCANS who noted the Presidents hundred
a billion dollar budget must realize exactly how
It is going to affect them.
For the last Congress- as almost its last action in
imposed the heaviest tax burden in history
a bill evyng per cent victory tax nearly every
pay envelope plus income taxes affecting virtually every
except the lowest paid workersand including mil
lions who have never paid income taxes before.
And top of that, the President has asked the
Congress to find ADDITIONAL sixteen billion
dollars in taxes.
THE old Congress completed its tax bill at such late
possible for very many to set aside before next March
15 enough money pay the first instament of 1913
taxes then que their 1912 incomes.
That being the fact, these millions uf persons will
find It still more difficult TO pay in 1914 income tax
bill 1913 incomes which is to include their share of
the proposed additional sixteen bon-dolar tax increase
Obviously therefore, the federal government cannot
carry out It's tax program unless it puts income
payers -theygo" basis and does so at once
The way to do this is by adopting the Ruml plan
whereby PAYMENTS MADE OUT OF 1943 INCOME
will be credited against THE TAX ON 1943 INCOME
and Will be deducted in part at least at the of the
income, just the victory tax is being deducted
BY this simple device amounting merely to a change
in bookkeeping methods the government will get its tax
revenues with interruption and taxpayers will pay
when they are most able.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT said the other dap that he
favors a payas-you-go plan 50 long the treasury
does not lose a lot of taxes.
Actually shown repeatedly BY Beardsley Ruml
the banker and business economist who formulated the
plan bearing his name that will not happen under his
proposal-ANY eventual loss to the government will be
inconsequenal and the beneficaries will be those who
EARN their incomes, NOT THOSE WHO DEPEND ON
INVESTMENTS
The Ruml plan is the only practicable solution of the
problem that has been offered
Congress should adopt it without further loss Of
time.

Secrecy is invoked as an es-
Sential element of safety.
Relatives and close friends

Let Boys Address
Abroad Be Secret

Letters TO our men in combat
zones are encouraged by military
and naval authorities as morale
builders.
These miSSives are eagerly
awaited by the fighting men,
especially when sent by the folks
back home.
The Detroit Times likes 10
publish the addresses Of men in
camps and shore stations in this
country and abroad.
We go a step farther and send
copies of our publication to the
soldiers, sailors and marines.
High testimonials have reached
us from these subscribers which
are pleasing.
There are few angles TO war;
time communications, written
and printed, which the average
citizen sometimes ovarlooks.
The newspapers OF the coun-
try have agreed TO abide by a
censorship code solely for the
purpose Of keeping information
from the enemy.
One of the stipula tions in this
extensive document relates TO
news about troop movements
and locations of our military and
naval personnel.
1t does not matter much about
identifying companies or regi-
ments at camps in this country.
These details become vital

moment his assault showed signs
of weakening and then throwing
an offensive in upon his flank
north of the city. Unexpectedly,
their forces south of the city
also were able 10 advance until
they had a pincer working on
the NaZlS from the north and
south.
Within two weeks their swerv-
ing counter-attacks proceeded
far down the two railroad lines
running west and southwest
from the city. At Salsk on the
southwestern railroad line, they
scared the German Caucasus
forces so greatly that the Nazis
began withdrawing voluntarily
from their advance mountain
positions TO the south.
If the Reds are able TO con-
tinue down the SalSk railroad
so miles or so 10 Tikhoretsk,
they will be able to cut the only
railroad line of supply of all the
Hitler Caucasus forces south of
RoStov.
The Red attack seems certain
TO succeed because Stain now
has technical superiority on that
whole Russian battlefront. He
can thank us for that.
HITLER has withdrawn so
H many planes TO meet us in
Africa that the Reds now have
superiority in the air. They also
are getting large quantities of
equipment from us now, because
the conveys are protected by the
dark Arctic night on the north
ern route to MurmanSk and the
southern supply route through
Iran is functioning better.
Some observers say the Reds
have 5000 planes. If so. they
should keep air superiority no
matter what Hitler does.
Indeed, it is probable Hitler
will concede the Red detectives,
give up his quest for Caucasus
oil and withdraw to a shorter
line west of -RosteV. TheH-he
will be able better TO distribute
his weakening forces to meet
Mr.. RooSevelt's threat of inva-
sion on other European fronts.

Red Success
I'm Caucasus

FIorid Claims Doubted.
but Hitler Erred
BY PAUL MALL0N

MIASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The
'' Russian communique writ
ers have such fiorid style they
practically have monopolized the
top headlines in the American
ipreSs this winter with elated but
confusing accounts of their great
military successes.
The eager manner or their
,daily announcements has pre-
vented the average American
news reader from getting
proper evaluation OF what they
have done and where they are
going.
Day after day for a while,
they had % NaZi division sur
rounded and trapped before
Stalingrad. then whitfield the
figure down TO y when one was
annihilated and thereafter larg-
ly avoided the matter.
As a matter Of recapitulated
truth, they have II or Ia divi-
sionS (about 10000 Nazis)
locked there in a trap appar-
entity secure.
The surrounded Won Hoth Ger
man Eighth Army. making up
this force, dug itself in before
Stalingrad in accordance with
German tactics pursued last
winter around Moscow.
Won Hoth figured food and
fuel supplies could be flown TO
him and hoped that some sup
plies might reach him on the
ground as his comrades were
near at hand when he started
Detroit evening times., 1943-01-16

THAT hope proved unobtain-
Il able when the Reds were able
TO capture the nearby Nazi rail
base at ChernishkovSky and
push Won Hoth comrades back
so far as TO leave him no source
of supply except a long one by
air
Hitler has pressed even rick
ETY. airplanes into service to drop
food. but the area Won Hoff'S
army occupies is barren of for
eStS unlike the terrain before
Moscow last winter and affords
no source Of fuel in the deadly
Russian winter.
Now, apparently Won Hoth
hopes TO hedgehog it through
until spring relief comes, but
there is grave questions of his
ability TO sustain himself during
his Information.
The Reds are letting Won Hoth
starve while they drive on south
westward. Their detectives are
TO chase the Nazis completely
out of the Caucasus province,
clear RoStov and re-eStabliSh
line upon the Donets River in
the Ukraine. This they seem
very likely TO do.
TT IS too much to expect that
Il their winter campaign can
accomplish more than this, and
deciSively crush German resist
ance and bring peace on that
front. In fact, such a decisive
result, which many Americans
have been led to expect from the
communiques, is no doubt beyond
their official detectives.
They will be satisfied if they
can drive out or capture the
100000 Nazi soldiers go divi-
sions) which Hitler has in the
Caucasus pocket south of RoS-
tov.
The real condition on the
Russo-German front is best eX-
planned by the events leading up
to the present situation.
Hitler stupidity wasted men
and weakened himself with bad
generalship by throwing every
thing he had into an offensive
10 capture Stalingrad. His mis-
take prevented him from sparing
the planes from that front which
would have -n4atie-f1is drive for
the Caucasus oil a success. He
still foolishly expected to cap
ture Stalingrad as late as mid
November.

TO THE EDITOR:

TO the adoption of the Ruml plan
as presently outlined. These are:
Cd The delay in starting the
plan due to the fact that legisla-
ton has to be enacted. CD The
Injustice to the taxpayer who
had abnormally low earnings for
the year 1912 as against the un-
earned windfall to the taxpayer
who had an unusually high IN
come for the year 1942.
The foil wing suggestions
have been submitted TO the Sena-
tors from Michigan and to the
congressman from my district:
THAT the 1912 tax return
be required to be filed by March
Is as at present.
2-That the two first quar-
terly tax payments based on
1912 income be due on March
Is and June Is according to the
present law.
3-That the third and fourth
quarterly tax payments based on
1912 income be Cancelled.
4-That the Ruml plan or a
similar pay as you go" tax law
be enacted TO start July !, l943,
based upon one-half of 1943 in
come.
5-That the victory tax be
Cancelled as of July /, 1943, so
that only one tax deduction
would be withheld by employers.
The adoption of this plan
would give the treasury depart
ment ample time to prepare for
the pay as you 60" plan TO start
July /. 1943. 1t would cancel
one-half of 1912 tax and one
half of 1913 tax. AS compared
10 the Ruml plan it would mod
ify the injustice 10 the taxpayer
who had an abnormally low in
come during 1912 and reduce
considerably the windfall TO the
taxpayer who had an abnor-
mally high income during 1912.
