Pope Arranges
To Visit u. 5.

VATICAN CITY. Sept. 18. up
Authoritative Vatican sources have
reported that Pope Plus XII is
planning to make a postwar visit
tC the Unit d States.
According to these informants,
the committee for the International
eucha2istic congress plans TO hold
a second postwar eucharistic con-

cities, and the pontiff has expressed

CBy EEiRDSLEY RUNL-Written
for United PreSS.)

After the War-and probably for
many years to come-We will get
each year a bin for federal taxes
OF between lG and /" billion dollars.
Besides that. we will get another
bill for state and local taxes OF
about y billion dollars.
These are figures much too big
for Us to understand. because we
lust don't ordinarily think that big.
But what they mean is that if
spread evenly over the entire popu-
lation the average" family OF four
people would have to pay just about
s5OC in federal taxes and around
$3.50 more in other taxes, or some
$3.50 a year altogether.

STUDY TAXATION

For more than year and hal1
the committee for economic deFei-
opment-Which is group OF busi-
ness men organized for the purpose
cf studying the problems OF peace
time employment and then stlmu-
lating individual employers to do
something about these problems
has been studying taxation. Their
conclusions. which are stated IN
proposed postwar federal tax plan
for high employment are that we
can carry this big taX load if we do
two things:
First we must plan for ana
achieve quickly after the war an
expansion of production and baSl-
ness activity somewhere between ~
and As per cent greater than we had
in 194d This will create between
7 600 GOO and 100000 new jobs.
Secondly. we must revise our tax
system so that we can collect the
needed taxes in such a way that IL
puts the least possible burden on
Inc continued existence Of all JOBS
and on the creation OF still more
new iohs. Both of these obJectlVeS
are big orders. But if we succeed
the rewards will be both lower taxes
and more income for Mr.. Average
Citizen.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-09-18
COMMON SENSE

II is simply a matter OF common
sense. the c. E. d points out, that
if we can achieve natlonal IN
come Of $4,000, ,0c9000 o year al
present price levels, then we can
nav $4,000 900 600 in taxes and SUN
have Sl22,000 ,0O000 more than we
had in 1910. Secondly, such level
Of production would provide about
55 COO 600 Jobs which would not
only mean millions Of new taXpay-
ers but fewer L..employed TO Whom
relief has tc lie paid out OF taXatloh.
The committee for economic de-
velopment believes that both OF
these gOals-o national income OF
sl4O coo 900 100 a year and % ,oooOoo
iobg-are possible, if we make bold,
intelligent CWise) plans 1of llleH
now. And one CT the most important
rarts Of that planning IS 10 over
haul our national tax program 50
that it will encourage indiVldual
EMPLOYERS TO risk the expansion
which will provide the needed Job3.
such a tax plan has been developed
and proposed by the c. f. ID. re-
search committee. The next 1our

The drive is being conducted by
twenty price panel representatives who

> With very few exceptions, violations
Of price regulations were cases where
merchants were of their errors,
Typical cases were instances where
s~torekeepers had failed to display their
community price lists, the dollar-and
cents ceiling prices for meats, groceries
and soaps or where the OPA price group
classification was not posted.
Price panel representatives brought
back reports that merchants appeared
anxious to cooperate and were taking
advantage of the representatives per

for advie and assistance on OPA's

Several deliberate violations already
have been uncovered and arrangements
will be made to call che violators for a
meeting with the local price panel if they
are still in violation after a second check
to be made in the near future.

IA Million Cords
PuIpwood Goal
For War Needs

THE farmer helps himself as well
as Uncle Sam when he cuts pulpwood,"
Earl Porter, Southern Kraft Division of
international Paper Company, Mobile,
Alabama, said today in urging increased
cutting now to meet the $4,000, 000-cord
goal set by the War Production Board
for military and essential civilian needs.
If this goal is not met there will not
be enough containers to package the
food the farmers are expected to grow.
"The farmer helps himself because
pulpwood is needed to manufacture the
containers he uses to market his farm
products. Without these containers the
wraps. liners, pads and bags the farmer
would find himself in a serious pre-
dicament.
Current shortages in supply nave
been attributed in part to a s~lackening
in production from farm woodlands"
Mr.. Porer said, sand government Off
Gals, therefore, are urging increased
cutting by farmers themselves to help
meet their own needs. =
war Food Administrator Marvin
Jones, in a recent statement, said.
Every farmer has a direct personal in
terest in the shortage of pulpwood be-
cause so many pulpwood products enter
into the marketing of his products. The
War Food Administration is working
with the War Production Board and the
War Manpower Commission to increase
the production of pulpwood and other
forest products. If you have any time
at all in which you could cut pulpwood,
get in touch with your County War
Board or County Agent
