Elimination of Tax F Fovoritism

increase, which would take af-
f1rmative action by Congress.
If it is not postponed, it then
would wipe out for many mil
lions Of small taxpayers the
10 per cent reduction in nor
NAL income taxes, so they
would get no tax relief, which
business, for example, is get
ting through elimination of
the excess profits tax and the
cut in corporation taxes.
Another tax problem facing
the administration and Con-
gress that likewise involves
fairness and balance is re-
vision Of our tax system to be
embodied in a bill which will
be brought in early in January
by the House Ways and Means
Committee. The committee
held exhaustive hearings last
summer-June Is to August IL
that required four volumes
for publication.
Here would be an opportu-
nifty for Congress to close up
loopholes through which some
wealthy taxpayers now evade
their just share, which conse-
quently increases the load on
the rest of us. This includes
big oil interests which still en-
joy the 2712 per cent deple-
ton allowance provided dur
ing the Andrew w. Mellon
regime. That costs the Treas
ury hundreds of millions of
dollars" annually. as it was
testified in 1851 by Secretary
OF Treasury John Snyder. the
last OF a succession of Treas
ury chiefs who have pleaded
with Congress for 20 years to
remove this favoritism. But oil
has always been too powerful.
1t still is, seemingly. The at
t1tude OF committee members
during the hearings offered
little hope that this and other
lnjustices would be removed,
that is, unless the public some
how could get itself heard
more than it has been heard
up to now. Tax favoritism
seems to be a part of "invis-
ible government" of which the
average citizen knows little,
and about which he can do
less.

opinions at all-or none he Is
not prepared to shift as the
winds blow.
1t is less easy to see that q
similar attitude is developing
in all the democracies. The
free, inquiring. critical mind
operates in certain realms, es-
pecially in the sciences, and
in the Soviet Union, too.
Otherwise Soviet scientists
would never have discovered
(even with the aid of spieS)
how to produce atomic and
thermonuclear energy. But it
operates Increasingly in politi-
cal thought.
But if the only free minds
eventually left are those Of
the scientists and technolo-
gists, who will eventually run
the world, and in what spirit?

one foresees man as no longer
a subject, but an object. as
scientifically conditioned as
Pavlov's dogs. In such a world

omy, as well as of meeting the
needs of cold war, is a para
mount consideration in the
problem ahead which, in the
first instance, involves the
automatic expiration Of Ger
tain taxes after the first of
the year. Altogether. on an
annual basis, they account for
$8.5 billion Of revenue.
They represent increases i'm
posed in 1851 to help pay for
the Korean war which, under
that law, had expiration dates
now coming due. On January

taxes will drop 10 per cent and
at the same time the excess

loss of revenue annually. re-
spectively. of 50 billion and
$2.5 billion. On, April /, the
normal corporation tax rate
will be reduced automatically
from 80 to 25 per cent, a rev.
enue loss of 50 billion, and
excise tax reductions that will
go into effect then on liquor,
cigarettes, gasoline and oil,
automobiles, trucks and parts
and accessories will account for
a loss of 81 billion annually.
Facing a deficit already, the
Government must make up
this revenue loss somehow and
it is here that equity and bal
ance must be maintained.
They would not be, for exam

That type of sales tax long has
been a pet project of affluent
interests who want to shift

fall heaviest upon the person

income taxes based on ability

Delaware Use Of Gas
ZOOms, Report Shows

Delaware and seven other North
eastern states have so increased
their use of natural gas for heating
and cooking that requirements of
the region for a peak day may
jump from less than six billion
cubic feet in 195O-51 to 1O1k billion
in 1856.
New pipe line facilities bringing
additional natural gas from the
Southwest coupled with further de-
Velopment of underground storage
will be called upon to meet the
rising demand.
These predictions of the Gas Ap-
pliance Manufacturers Association
were based on an analysis of data
collected by government and indus
try.
The region including Delaware,
the CANA report continues, is the
Oldest natural gas area in the cO6n-
try. Unlike some others in the
country, it has large areas suitable
for underground storage. A recent
survey by the Petroleum Admin
istratiOn for Defense, for example,
reveals that by 1856 gas supplies
derived from operating or planned
storage on a peak day will equal
the amount of gas which seven
large pipe lines with capacities of
five hundred million cubic feet
day can deliver.
The rising Importance Of gas as
a fuel in Delaware is further high
lighted by the U. S. Bureau of
Census figures soon to be publish
ed. They show that In 1850, report
ing households numbering $500
used utility gas for heating, while
434,995 used it for coking. These
figures contrast with only 448 re-
porting households in Maryland
heating with gas in 1910 and 38,549
using the fuel for cooking.
The trend to gas house heating
throughout the nation is inducing
home builders and contractors to
consider installation Of the entire
gas appliance family in new dwell
ings. Utilities point out that the
more appliances in the home, the
cheaper the gas rate, and that gas
for cooking, water heating, refrig-
Grafton, incineratiOn and clothes
drying means not only greater eff
ficiency but overall economy in
fuel bills.

MRS. X. D., Washington
I have several problems that
perhaps may be ironed out in
RICH. Can anything be done
to rejuvenate an imported
white net wedding gown that
has large light brown stains on
the bodice? And how can it be
successfully stored away to
prevent any further discolor-
alton? The same with wooden
baby clothes? saw a question
in your column about storing
white woolens but never an
answer.
Also I have recently acquired
a kitten and wondered how he
could be housebroken? He has
behaved very well in this
aspect, but occasionally makes
mistake. I've had much ex-
perience with dogs, but never
with a kitty-cat.
May I take this time to
thank the numerous answers
I received in regard to tar re-
moval. To the lady who could
not decipher the dry cleaner

LIGHTEN WOODS.

This is to the friend who
asked how to tighten the wood
on g spool bed from which
layers of paint had been re-
moved. / cannot help with
this, but have other informa-
ton which may be of interest.
It has been the mode, for
quite some time, to .Scrape
down furniture removing the
paint it had accumulated, in
the belief that this is restoring
it to it's original finish.
Actually, paint was used a
very great deal by our anceS-
tors. Furniture of the 1600s
and the 1700S was painted, and
painted furniture continued
through the Hitchcock chair
period, 1920, and later. In fact,
the painted furniture Of the
1S60s and 18S0s goes by the
name of early American, now.
Spool furniture came in
about 1850. 1t is considered
very good, it is small. and does
have a certain. antiquity. Some
times the beds are called
Jenny Lind" beds.
AS to paint colors, a soft
brown red tone is most highly
priced by collectors. perhaps
this was the color of the origi-
nal. paint on your bed?) Me-
dium blue, dark green and
black with red and gilt, are
also the colorS of long ago. I
hope this information will be
of help to you. I wish you
very good luck.
About cobbler's benches. II
any one is thinking of pur-
chasing one, it is not a good
idea. Although the cobbler's
bench is often reproduced, and
used by many as a coffee table,
experts say they have abso-
lutely no artistic value. and
are utterly unsuited to the
living room. They place in
the same category as dry
sinks" "cake sofas," ETC., and
other kitchen furniture. These
are worthless in the home

things which were beautiful to
begin with are antiques. all else
