Borrow for Taxes

Failure of the so-called pay
as you-go tax TO cover the
average Americans income tax
bill is providing a bonanza for
the personal loan departments
of banks. small loan companies,
and credit unions.
Most shortages are in the
lower income bracket. white

$500 married-and more and
more are each day are finding
that the Withholding tax didn't
cover their bill.

didn't work in 1912 and thus
made no payments on AZ in

AZ payments don't balance off
the first half of '43.
Bright side of the picture IS
that they're turning 10 loans
rather than cashing in war
bonds.

Desperate Dealers
DIG Into Warehouses
for Forgotten Cars
BY suER FREEMAN

Auto dealers have really
touched the bottom of the bar
rel in their hunt for used cars
and are scraping the sides. And
when we say scraping, it IS
nothing else but that. ~
The supply of cars for resale
is so low that the dealers have
been poking about warehouses
and old garages. Once in awhile
they turn up with a find.
One reported he had uncov-
cred two Marmons. They had
been on blocks for many years.
,After checking them carefully.
the dealer decided they were
still in good shape. Even the
rubber had been well preserved.
So he grabbed them up.

CONGRESS FIGHT

In this connection, the recently
issued appendix" to the Baruch-
Hancock report on reconversion
methods Is more interesting. It
seems 10 be an afterthought sug-
gested by the struggle of Congress
for independence. Anyhow, il is
a very clumsy attempt 10 make
the defenders of representative
government feel better by advis-
ing Congress what il should" do,
and requesting it to lcgislate
this way and that. But il proves
the existence of a strong defense.
Other realities. highly signifi-
cant of the tendency back to de-
mocracy. are the split in the ranks
of organized labor between radi-
Gals and conservatives, and the
growing movement toward an in
centive system of income distribu-
ton, both for wages and for
profits.

make political capital out of blood
and tears is through. The man
who is going 10 be classed with
Washington and Lincoln must act
like they did.
We are relearning the meaning
OF democracy through age-old
struggle for representative gov
eminent. Perhaps this began with
the talk among politicians about
bureaucracy" But now il Is be-
coming real in the struggle OF
Congress against the Executive
just as the English Parliament
struggled with the king. Congress
has passed its own tax bill. Now,
as in the Daniels case, il is chal-
longing autocracy.

Both by listening to the program and by reports made

abusing their broadcasting privileges by using their
period OF publicity founder the cover Of Syrian Language
which would not be known to you) to carry on a campaign
Of detrac tion and yelled slander against our publication
and the personnel thereof.
Of course this has all been carefully yelled under the
cover Of innuendo.No direct reference by name has been
Guide whoever he may have been) has been at great pains
to declare that he has no connection with any other pub
Listing interest, locally, and by 1ndirect1on has gone to
the extent OF broadcasting the idea that this Is because
all others in general, and we in particular are Of doubtful
character. ~
In view Of the above, if this sort Of thing continues
we shall have no other resource but to take action both
against the original source and also those who, even though
they are innoc entity unaware Of the deception. through our
