FRANK BUCK ADVOCATES
KILLING JAPANESE PEOPLE

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan.
80 ANP)-Complete annihilation
of the japanese people, men, wom-
en- and children, was advocated
here by Frank Buck, wild animal
hunter and author. Buck suggested
that the japanese people be
slaughtered by poison gas as a
means of survival for the white
race.
1--WE are too soft, too humane to
handle the Japs," he said. "IF the
400,OO0,000 Chinese came under
japanese rule, were enslaved and
educated by the Japs and then
we'll armed, it would mean the
death knell of the white races"
Bucks statements have been
critized as playing into the hand
of Japanese propagandists, who
have been trying to make the Paci-
fic conflict a racial war based upon
the principles of "Asia for the
Asiatics."

The Wyandotte news-herald. (Wyandotte, Mich.) 1943-1963, 1945-03-01

$8,000,0 600 annually in Michigan:
1t is the governors belief that
wartime levies on So-called luxur-
ies-hquor, beer and cigarettes
would net ga possible $4,000 900 of
additional revenue" and that cities
would realize about $11,4O0, 900
through an apportionment to gov
ernments made according to popu-
lation.
Another avenue for financial re-
lief would be for the voters of mu-
inequalities to repeal the 15-mill tax
limitation which they placed upon
themselves The legislature has
acted to permit these cities to place
a repeal ballot before voters at the
April election.
The governor also approved the
tax study commissions recommen-
dalton for revision of the state in
tangible tax, an admittedly diff
cult job.
Whether the legislators will favor
imposition of new and additional
taxes upon all citizens in order to
afford financial relief for munich
palities, Is matter Of some specu-
lation at Lansing. Such prospects
are not any too bright, we might
say. And yet there is considerable
logic to the principle of increasing
taxes when taxes are most easily
paid-years when wages are in
flated and everyone Is flush with
prosperity. An ideal government
would do just that-raise taxes in
boom years to create reserve fund;
lower taxes in depression years when
the reserve fund would be used. One
resistance to higher taxes turks in
the suspicion that once taxes are up,
they viii never come down. The tax
payers experience prompts this be-
lief, the government never catches
up with the parade of social needs,
each fervently and sincerely spon-
sored by q pressure group. There is
always another pressing social prob
lem around the corner to be solved
through state money.
The legislature must make the
decision. It is not an easy one.
