LEND-LEASE YARNS

NOfficials in charge of our Lend-Lease
shipments are not,responsible for the short
agessof food supplies, cigarettes and other
scarce materials in this country.
A recent report by Leo T. Crowley,
foreign economic administrator points out
that lend-lease last year took only eight
percent of our food production, the equiva-
lent of one cigarette week for each adult
civilian and seven-tenths of one percent of
our supply of beef.
1t is obvious that the shortages in this
country have been due to the factors sug-
gested by Mr.. Crowley, actual war-induced
shortages of materials, production facilities
and manpOwer; the requirements of our
armed forces and a domestic demand in
excess of normal pre-war supply induced
in increased consumer incomes.
While it is we'll for the people to have
these facts, it might not be aniss to point
out that even if lend-lease resulted in some
civilian shortages, the policy would still be
beneficial to this country. By equipping
the soldiers of our allies, we have, in part,
made it possible for them to continue fight
ing and thereby lightened the load on the
United States, undoubtedly saving many
American lives.
If lend-lease is justified by war re-
suits, it is no condemnation of the policy
that it results in the shortage of some COM
modities on the home front. After all, there
is no reason for civilians to expect every
thing during a great war and, if other men
can fight and die, civilians can do without
Sor-c of their luxuries.

THE CUBAN RUN

At no other time in the history of the
United States were the people SO complete
ly hoaXed as they were when it was an
nounced that ''simplified income tax
would go into effect when the Ruml modi-
fled plan was adopted.
Ruml called it the pay-as-y
and others spoke of it as the pay-as-you-go,
and the people took the announcements at
their face value, only to learn that it was
the most complicated and headache-pro-
ducing tax measure ever wished upon q
public, particularly a public that is willing
generally ojpay.
The Citizen has not heard of any Key
Wester who objects to paying to help win
the war; on the contrary, The Citizen has
heard many Key Westers say that they
consid Ell themselves fortunate in using
their money, instead of themselves, as mil
lions of Americans are doing, to help crush
the Nazis and Japs.
But The Citizen has heard many Key
Westers complain about the completely of
the tax measure, and today one Key Wester
remarked that he would be glad to pay 10
percent more than he is paying now if the
government went back to the former plan,
which was simplicity itself compared with
the present law. ~
Nine months ago, when congress was
tinkerfng with the income tax measure,
news came out of Washington that it would
be made easy for taxpayers, particularly
hose who are having withholding taxes
deducted from their salaries, when the
time came to pay again. But what hap
pened?
Congress made so many changes in
the tax structure, the estimates made in
withholding taxes went awry, so that the
coming March Is, millions of that type of
taxpayers, besides the deductions taken
from the pay envelopes, will have to pay
additional taxes for 1914 and also pay on
1915 estimated incomes every three months,
besides the withholding taxes. AS matters
stand, no taxpayer knows whether he has
underpaid or overpaid, though in most in
stances he learns hey has underpaid.
Give us back the former. tax law that
will save millionsref dollars in handling

to- pay taxes, but what We dislike is the
headachy complexity in connection with
the payment, IS 7 as T..
That Key Wester who said he rather
would pay 10 percent more than he is pay
ing now, added that he was confident there
are many Key-Westers who would like to
give Ruml the Cuban run.

kins incorporated provisions in
the house general revenue bill
which would have abolished all
continuing, appropria .ions, mod
ernized the system of accounting
for state funds and required all
funds to be appropriated bian-
nually in the future. Due to their
tireless effort, this bill was pass
ed with few minor changes by
"a vote of "a to 6, but the essential
features and provisions of the act
were singled out and vetoed by
Governor Holland. Followers of
Legislative action will recall the
fight in the house over the meas
ure and the DoWda-JenkinS pro-
visions that became known as the
house philosophy"
Defeated in their purpose by
the action of the governor, who
emasculated the measure by We
toing those very provisions that
would have made it effective,
Down and jenkins contested the
veto in the courts on the grounds,
that the governor exceeded his
constitutional authority, but the
courts upheld the governor.

the State Budget Commission to
The fact that they were not COM
plying with the state budget law
passed in 1881, which required
that the commission give the leg
islature a report on all state ex-
perditures. While the budget
report for this biennium has not
been released, no information has
been made public, to the best of
my knowledge, that the provis-
ions are being complied with.
The DoWda-JenkinS analysis
gives a condensed comparative
statement of state receipts and
disbursements from 1884 and 1914
and shows that state eXpendi-
lures have increased from $685.

The taxpayers of the state

activity to beefing now and then
when the tax take happens to
hit him personally.

Dowda and Jenkins will carry on

tive session and even if taxpay-
