NOW EVERYBODY CHEER

Jacksonville Register-Pa jaronian)
The house WAYS and means committee
has made what appears to be first
rate start toward simplification OF in
come taxes We believe that simpifica-
ton can go even further, but at least here
is notable progress away from the BIZ
ARE complications through which we
have recently struggled.
The victory tax would be wiped out
entirely, under the committee plan. Inc
present six per cent normal tax would
be cut to three per cent. SurtaX rates
would be adjusted to produce, presumab-
ly, about the same revenue as heretofore.
Some 80 million taxpayers, according
to the committees estimate, would be eX-
cused from submitting any return at all.
beyond an easily filled-out statement OF
income. And 10 million others, earn
ing up to $4,000, would base their pay
ments on a simple tax table. The remain
ing 10 million-those with incomes above
$4,000, would have to make returns as
usual. but with considerable simplifica-
ton.
Another feature is the committees de-
cision that personal exemptions - now
$500 for single persons, $1,000 for cou
pies. $3.50 for each child-should be
straight $500 a person, whether man,
woman or child. (This applies only to the
surtax; for the three per cent normal
tax. which in effect replaces the victory
tax. the personal exemption would be
$500 for each taxpayer, whether
bachelor or the father of quadruplets.)
1t begins to look as if the great biz
zard of arithmetic which blanketed Amer
lea in this historic March of 1914 will
not be duplicated next year.

Lady Astor Draws
Red Press Fire

MOSCOW, April 5-UP)-The
magazine, War and the Working
Glass. attacked Virginia born Lady
Astor for tie questions she asked
in the British House of Commons
last month about the wages of
women coal miners in Russia.
When the minister of fuels said
he had nc information, Lady Astor,
raising her eyes to heaven, insisted
that he obtain information, since,
as the honorable lady declared,
we want to know what is going on
in that paradise for workers, - the
magazine said.
Doesn't the honorable lady
think the fate of Soviet women,
like that OF the entire Soviet people,
would be much easier if Munich
circles close to Lady Astor had not
sabCtaged sc energetically the at
tempts to check aggre5sors and in
terfered in averting the bandit at
tack by the Hitlerites against the
Soviet Union?
Surely Lady AStor does not con-
siGer that the fierce struggle which
she and fellow thinkers gathered
at Cliveden waged and are waging
against the opening CT a second
front and against the activization
of military opera ions in the west,
which are dragging out the war
eases the tIibulations CT Soviet
women
The magazine concluded with
the inquiry:
Doesn't Lacy Astor with Eer
speeches remind one CT certain
characters in Dickens, immortal
depictor of The duplicity and hypo-
crisy of certain circles CT English
society raising eyes to the heavens
and utterine noble words while

WRITER EVALUATES COASTS
POSTWAR ASSETS
Riverside Daily PreSs)

Riverside Daily PreSS)
A dream of industrial empire has eX-
cited the great and golden states OF Cali
fornia Oregon and Washington. Since
1889 a million and a half new faces have
answered the "Go-West' call booming
out from the aircraft and shlpyard IN
dustries on the west coast. These state
ments are highlights of an article IN the
current issue of the Saturday Evening
Fost titled The West Coast Weighs Its
Future" by Post Associate Editor Ar
thur w. Baum.
THE fever runs Historically high, but
even in the chambers of commerce and
civic clubs there are parallel chills of
apprehension. This huge population and
production shift is war-borne and war
fueled. When the war ends, will the new
Far Westerners stay to make the revolu-
ton real? Will the new industry remain
to support them?" asks the Post article.
Polls conducted by industrial plants
on the coast indicate that as high as SO
per cent of these new employees have
said they would never go east again. By
and large the coast wants them to stay
Henry Kaiser calls them the argonauts
of today. the builders of tomorrow"
The east may talk of reconverSlon but
the west cannot, for these new machines
of the west simply did not exist before
To keep these machines in production
the coast must find thousands OF new
customers to replace the one customer
they now have-the government.
1T may be we'll to twist an old saying
and suggest that it has never paid to
sell the Pacific coast short. 1t has sum
shine in the south and eternal greenery
in the north. People like to visit the
coast, and population figures say that
many of them will stay there. Perhaps
these things will turn out to be postwar
assets greater than any others con-
cludes Mr.. Baum in his Post article.

Fairfax Board Favors
Budget Cutting Taxes
Public Hearing in April
Set on Tentative OutIoys

The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors has approved the ten
tative county budget for the 1914
As fiscal year, beginning July l.
and authorized publication of the
budget for public hearing in April.
County residents may appear at that
time to voice approval or disaproval
of the various budget items.
The budget was prepared by
County Purchasing Agent R. M.
Loughborough and will be published
in the original draft, with few minor
changes. If adopted, it will result
in decrease in the county tax rate
of 10 to IL cents on each 500 Of
assessed property valuation.
The tax decrease is expected to be
made despite estimated increased
expenditures for the next fiscal year,
board members saying the decrease
will be made possible through a
surplus in the general county fund.
The anticipated balance in the
county treasury at the close of the
current fiscal year on June 80 will
be approximately $4,000.
The present county levy tax rate,
exclusive of special and school levies,
is AZ cents per s100 valuation and
this will probably be reduced to 80
cents, with an additional reduction
in the reassessment fund levy of
3 to l cent The road bond debt
levy in Mount Vernon district will
be probably reduced from 7 to 5
cents.
