IN CONGRESS
AND IN JAIL

A Massachusetts m e m e ! OF
Congress has been sentenced to
four months in Jail and fined
$4,000 for evasion of S38.542 in
income taxes
The Associated Press reported
he 'tearfully" denied any Grim
inal intent. but pleaded guilty.
And. his attorney said he believed
the man. Democratic Congress-
man Thomas J. Lane. had no
thought of resigning from Con-
greSS. Lane himself told the court
he thought he had served hon
orably.'
1t Is hard to reconcile this mans
f-aWarded honorable servic c e
with his guilty plea to evading
S38 SAP in income taxes.
The news story on his SEN
fencing also noted that he can
be ousted from CONGRESS- only by
a vote of the House, and that if
he isn't ouSted he will continue to
draw his pay. even While in jail.
The House has a clear duty to
oust him. He is an admitted vio-
lator of the laws he has sworn
to uphold. And. CONGRESS should
never forget the old rule that
Caesars wife should be above

passes laws for all Americans TO

ENDING INCOME TAXES

The idea that the individual income tax might elm
mated in the United States catching in various parts
of the country.
Several years ago was suggested considerable
momentum developed behind the suggestion -tha in
come taxes be levied on only limited percentage OF one
income However this movement was turned aside and has
somewhat dsSipated.
Now in its place comes movement to end individual
income The idea which at first seems impossible is
interesting and there apoSSbty such taxes will be elm
mated.
Currently income taxes supply the Federal Govern
men with of the total budget That is they
comprise almost half the revenue collected by the Federal
Government Obviously if income taxes ended,
taxes will have to be levied to make the loss in revenue
retail sales tax could be levied Of several other
proposals could be adopted would probably be that sever
al new taxes would be required to provide the revenue now
supplied the government by income taxes.
The greatest advantage to be realized in eliminating
the income tax would be the elimination of the millions of
manpower days lost each year computing income taxes
The u S. citizen is obligated to spend considerable
amount of his time working free for the government,
figuring it out how much of his money the government
can possibly get
In addition to this income taxes are fairly regu-
lated and certain groups enjoy great advantages other
groups Generally speaking the salared worker takes it on
the chin while farmers professional people and business
men often enjoy wide range OF possible deductions.
The elimination of the income tax therefore the
substitution of something like retail sales tax as part
of the substitute pan would put the collection of govern
men easily operated basis and on which
would be little doubt to who obligated to pay
what.
Some way would have be found naturally for those
with higher incomes to pay greater share OF the nation
taxes very small flat rate might be set on gross income
to accomplish this
We hope income taxes can be eliminated although
believe there is only moderate chance this can be accomp
shed great amount of study and planning will be re-
quired before these taxes can be eliminated.
