Letters to The Star
Voice From the Lower Brackets
Cries for Tax Relief

Voice From the Lower Brackets
Cries for Tax Relief
To the Editor Of The Star:
We are the lower brackets, the for
gotten man. We are all so busy earning
an honest living, which takes up all our
time, that in the few hours allotted to
us outside our daily task, we are so tired
that we are unable to do much Of any,
thing but prepare for the next day.
We reckon that We are doing our full
duty keeping the work of the world
going and remaining on the job. We
are willing and anxious to contribute
our share of the taxes and have faith
that the Lawmakers will leave us
enough to live on and save a little for
a rainy day, but much to our surprise
and CONSERVATION we wake up to find
the greater share OF the tax burden has
been unloaded on our shoulders, we who
are least able to carry it, and this for the
simple reason that We are not organized
or represented in groups like the higher
brackets who have more time to devote
to constructive thinking and organiza-
ton.
believe it was ex-President Lincoln
who said God must love the poor people
as there are so many of them" BY the
poor, he evidently meant the low-sal-
aried people.
Single Person Pays.
1t is really the single person on whom
the tax burden falls the heaviest He
does not come under the dependents
tax exemption allowed to families. The
individual exemption was probably in
tended to hit the single young man the
hardest, but nowadays the great ma
jority of single people are single women
who are employed, many of whom are
widows and old maids. They have to
help sustain married society but have
not the security and advantages OF
marriage, and are under higher propor-
tionate expense living alone.
We OF the lower brackets will be sub
stantially helped only by raising the
tax exemption to $1,000 for each person,
as it was before the war emergency, and
only in this way will we receive any
real tax relief benefit.
We hope the lawmakers, in revising
the tax laws, will not forget the lower
brackets-there are so many of us, you
knoW-and we want to live in this world
and be able to save little for a rainy
day as the result of our incessant toll.
This we can not do now until the exemp-
ton is raised to 81 900 each person. If
this is allowed, we hope it will be retro
active to January 1st instead OF taking
effect July 1st, so 1t will help those who
are being laid off by the thousands
from the Government and otherwise,
and thus give them more terminal pay
on which to live until they have time
to re-adjust themselves under new con-
ditions. If for the veterans, why mt
also for our civil employees?

Transit Company Profits

NAASAS
To the Editor of The Star:
In the current discussion of street.
car and bus fares In Washington, there
seems to be confusion about the return
on capital invested in the transit COM
pany. The statement is made that the
investment should pay at least 5 per
cent, and that for years only 50 a share
has been paid-leaving the impression
that 81 share means 2 per cent a
year on the investment.
The transit company stock on which
the 81 year has been paid has been
selling at about 80, which means that
$10O invested in the stock pays over
Sc, or more than per cent. An in
vestment with so high yield is at
present hard to find. The B. & o. Rail-
road has paid not a cent on common
stock for Is years.
Fares should be lowered, not raised,
until the return on the capital invested
in the transit company is on a level
with the average returns of other public
utilities.

Clash Here Tonight

Providence Steamrollers will ex-
hibit their new 7-foot, 1-inch CEN
ter, Elmer Morgenthaler, for the
first time against the Caps tonight
at Uline Arena, but the District
teams attitude is that it won't make
much difference. MorgenthaIer be-
gan the year with Boston College,
but found the pro atmosphere more
beneficial.
Tonight will be sort OF an I'M

O'Grady and John Mahnken per-
forming for the Caps. Martin, a
5-foot, 10-inch 150-pounder, had
$50 points in So games when sta
tistics last were compiled and no
doubt will give the Caps a lot of
trouble.
The visitors have another hot
triggerman in Ernie Calverley, the
Nations leading collegiate scorer
while at Rhode Island State and
currently f1fth-ranking point-maker
in the league.
Providence upset the st. Louis

all Coach Jack Faber has from last
years squad. Balanced against
these are the loss Of Bob Fetters,
probably the games best defense
player last season; Jack Hoyert,
an all-America attack two years
ago, and Bill Williams, a defense
man.
Maryland's board of strategy looks
for more scoring power this year,
