Thirty Per Cent Hike?

The report speaks initially o.
"the shock of the tax bite" thai
will be required to balance the
budget-a 30 per cent increase ir
present levies. If Congress adopts
anything like what the council
suggests, Mr.. Average Taxpayer
is in for the shock of his life.
Not even 1945-the dizziest
spending and taxing year of Worle
War Twill begin to approach it
The councils report emphasize:
that the country should continue
to rely on the individual income
tax for a large part of the addi.
tional revenue which will be re-
quired for the defense effort" ano
then adds significantly:
Income tax increases should be
imposed at all levels, emphasizing
the progressive character of the
tax structure; but by far the larg-
est part of the additional revenue
must come from the middle and
lower income tax brackets"
This reasoning becomes obvious
Taxpayers in the middle and low
er brackets-under $10,000-re-
ceive an estimated 86 per cent OF
the country's net income after
Federal taxes.
The high-salaried people and
those with huge incomes from in
vestments receive only IA per cent
Thus the bulk of the national
income. spread broadly though it
is, will be found in the middle and
lower income groups. 1t is there
as the council points out, that
Congress must look for the addi-
tional revenue to put next years
budget on a pay-as-you-go basis

Gifts For Veterans

Mrs. Harriet O'Neal, Rehabili-
tation Chairman of the Galloway
Kemp p-Raughley-Tee American Leg
ion Auxiliary Unit of Harrington.
announced this week, that a num-
ber of gifts was collected from
the Unit and other sources in the
town to be used in the Veteran
Hospital Gift Shops in the weeks
until Christmas. The collecting of
such gifts is very worth while, in
that it gives veterans at the Brack-
Ex Hospital, Perry Point, Farm
hurst, and Brandywine an Oppor-
tunity to select gifts to send to
their families at Christmas. The
gifts are given to the veterans.
This year three members of the
Unit will assist with the Gift Shop
at Brack-Ex Hospital. They are
Mrs. O'Neal, Mrs. Virginia Burt
man and Mrs. Anne Minner and
they will be at the hospital on
December s.
At the November meeting of the
Unit, Mrs. Nellie French was ap-
/ pointed as Civil Defense Chairman
for the Unit to work with the town
chairman. A motion was made and
carried also that the group adopt
two women veterans who are pa
tients at Perry Point Hospital
! Small gifts and Temembrances will
be sent from the Unit to the wO-
men from time to time during the
year. Also a child at the Governor
Bacon Health Center will be
adopted, and the same procedure

ably served their country in its
time of need, risking their lives and
