Anybody Object?

The federal tax cost of the high way program will top $38 billion. The gasoline tax part of it alone will be over $29 billion-or about 77 percent of the total. If MT. Gasoline Consumer uses his ve- hicle just the average amount, he will shell out more than $360 Tn federal gas taxes alone over this programs financing period.
 How will he take this?
 Some politicians think nobody objects to high taxes any more not even the people who have to pay them. They believe years of heavy taxes have numbed people so they don't care. There's theory going the rounds that the average taxpayer ought to be plumb grateful for any crumb Of his own earnings the tax-spenders are kind enough to let him keep, after they've gorged themselves or his money for this project and that program.
 It will be interesting to learn how folks reacted on July | What did they say when they drove into their favorite gas station and came face to face with a new tax on gasoline.
 When will they object to pyra- miding tax on tax?

Waking up on a rainy 4th of July, to q child, must be like walk ing up on a Christmas morning and being told there isn't any Santa Claus. Gone is his day of parades. races and general fun, when Slse whole proceedings are called off or postponed.

corporation tax takes about half Of corporation profits before they are divided among the share holders, where they are taxed again. MT. Andrews says: We have failed to realize, it sems to me, that through our tax system we have been play ing into the hands of the Marxists, who gleefully hail the income tax as the one sure instrument that will bring capitalism to it's knees"
 The tax is too complicated. Com paratively few people can accur- ately figure their tax without help. In this connection, it is significant that members of Congress com monly call on Revenue Service ex- pertS to prepare their returns.
 Few people, if any, really un- derstand the tax As an example, 20 months after the Income Tay Code of 1854 became law, the of ficial Treasury Department inter. pretationS had not been issued. The difficulty lies in trying to fig ure out what Congress meant in wording the law, and then trying to plainly express Congress in-

 Acting Mayor
Kodiak mirror., 1956-07-07

A state governor who believes in getting to the heart of things once said: Nobody objects to high taxes except the people who have to pay them"
 We'll soon see whether he was right. Beginning July the federal egas tax jumped to three cents per gallon. The purpose of the . higher rate is to finance the na- 3tional highway program there's been so much tub-thumping about.
 The motoring public has been exposed to plenty of pictures and stories about the dream" high ways this program is supposed to build. They haven't heard so much about the gas tax increase .that goes with it. When they buy : gasoline aOw and find the tax rate las gone ID another cent, they'll he face to face with stern reality. The dream" superhighways will be completed far in the future. The higher gas tax will be with us here and now, and will stay with us for at least the next IS years according to the plan, Furthermore, this federal gaso- line tax is stacked on top of high territorial gasoline tax, The two together make a very tall and iugly-looking totem pole.

However, since all the prepara- tions are made, and the program is scheduled to be run today in- stead, the postponement should not detract from the fun of the small-fry, or the grownups for that matter.
 Hear ye! Hear ye! Line up for the parade: See the soap box der by, the tug of war, the boat races and the children's races. They will be just as good or even bet ter. But, MT. Weatherman, please cooperate!

Tax Reform Needed

{ Let's get rid of the income taxi" That has been said by many a be- ;leaguered citizen, after sweating ,bis way through the tax forms and dredging deep to find the money to pay the bill. Usually it is am .pIfied with unprintable adjectives,
 But now that has been said, in all seriousness, by top authority-T. Coleman Andrews, the former Commissioner of Internal Reve- ,nue. It is the title to strong ar 'ticle which Mir. Andrews recently contributed to The American Weekly.
 Ir. Andrews denounces the in- come tax, as it is now constituted. pn just about every conceivable ground. Here, in summary, are some of the things he has to say. , The tax amounts to legalized eonfiscation. It begins at 20 per cent and goes up to 91 per cent. man with a $40,000 income pays F7 times more tax than the man with a $10,000 income. And peo- pie receiving income from divi- dends get even a worse deal--the

tentions.

tentions.
 It costs the government too much to collect. MT. Andrews has high praise for Internal Revenue Service personnel. But even the 50,000-plus people in the Service cannot assure adequate enforce ment. It also costs the taxpayers too much. Huge sums of money go to lawyers and accountants to fill out and to defend tax returns.
 It is unstable. As Mir. Andrews puts it; Being based upon income it's low producer in slack times and high producer in good times: Thus theoretically, rates must be raised when people are least able to pay, and they may be lowered when everybody is most able to pay"
 It is destroying the middle class. This is among MT. Andrews most serious indictments: the middle class is being taxed out of existance and the nation, thereby, is being robbed of its surest guar antee of continued sound economic development and growth and it's its staunchest bulwark against the ascendancy of socialism"
 MT. Andrews proposes the ap- pointment of a Hoover-Commis- sion type group to completely study the income tax and the whole tax system. Then program can be adopted, he believes, for starting afresh. And times a-wast- ing!
