Lizzie" Moreover, the time has come to do
something about ii. To my mind, there is
no reason why wage earners and Salaried
people should pay taxes on money that was
never, in any real sense, their own.
Today Americans are spending millions of
dollars every year as the price of holding
their jobs-for this is what the expense of
committing amounts to. The money you
spend on transportation to and from work is
no more your own than is the money
skinned off your paycheck by federal, state
and local governments in the form of taxes
Uncle Sam wouldn't think of taxing you on
money you've paid as taxes On the contrary,
he allows you TO deduct it from your taxable
income. Yet he willard does-demand that
you pay taxes on the money you spend to
hold your job.
This is inconsistent What's more, it's
discriminatory because not all of us are
treated alike in this regard. Some Americans
are in the privileged position of being per-
mitted to deduct the cost of doing bust
ness"
Thus, a carpenter must have his own
tools. This is part of keeping his job. He has
the right-and it is proper one-to deduct
the cost of tools from his taxable income.
The salesman who must travel may deduct
his travel expenses. The doctor, the writer,
the entertainer and, of course. the business
man-all have the right to deduct the cost
of doing business"
The Waoe aarrer ord the eaIar;ad v>ar~nx,
should have the same right. The cost of COM
muting, whether il is from city to city or
street to street, is just as much cost
of doing business" as is the travel done by a
doctor or lawyer.
According to the Interstate Commerce
Commission commuters paid Sll4,OOO,OOO
to railroads in 1857. They rode an average
1913 miles per trip and paid an average
2.36 cents per mile. This added up to an
average Al cents per trip. If you multiply
this by two and add the cost Of connecting
subway, bus or car transportation, it be-
comes clear that for these Americans the
cost of holding their jobs-the cost of
doing business" if you willis considerable
Actually, those who ride by rail are in

nickel mile. Taken annually. these nickels
add up fast.
Moreover, as everyone is painfully aware,
these costs are skyrocketing. Commuter rail
fares zoomed 40 per cent between l947
and 1857. Despite this more than doubled
rate. the railroads are losing money on COM

The old nickel bus fare has long gone the
way of the bonneville trolley. And auto
costs are rising, too.
70 we are not talking about peanuts The
~ expense of getting to and from work is a
big one and real burden to many families.
A Piainfield, New Jersey, man wrote me
recently that my Communication ticket (Plain-
field to Philadelphia costs approximately
5000 per year, plus the necessity of driving
an automobile at the Plainfield end and So
cents day subway fare at the Philadelphia
end, or total cost of not much less than
$1,000 year."
A union printer who also lives in Plain
field wrote that he cannot quit his Job in
New York without surrendering seniority
and fringe benefits. He complained that he is
spending $3.50 year on committing.
Nor is the problem limited to the New
York-New Jersey area II is nationwide.
And with more and more people moving to
the suburbs, with plants diffusing themselves
over the countryside, longer and longer trips

means they will be more expensive, too.
For these reasons ! have introduced bin
which, am convinced, would bring our tax
law up TO date. am not out to bankrupt the

set up gravy train for suburbanites. But |
am looking for justice and touch of realism
in our thinking on this matter.
NY bill would provide for income tax

expenses incurred in committing either by car
or public transportation. I have set the
ceiling at $3OO-a level which believe will
give commuters equitable relief without re-
sulting in an excessive loss of revenue to the
government.

All this will do. But unless the commuter
speaks out on his own behalf, more loudly
than he has until now, the forecast-rm sorry
to say-is cloudy.
If you think something should be done

Bulbs for Indoor Bloom
BY WILBUR n. YoUNGMAN
Stur Gorden Editor

Bulbs for indoor bloom
make an interesting project.
Most people learn as young
sters when they put a few
paper-white narciSsuS in
gravel and force them into
bloom early in the season.
This same method might well
be employed with the
hyacinths but for some rea-
son is seldom to be en-
countered. The growing Of
bulbs in either gravel or
water is much more difficult
than in soil. If we will but
select the most suitable
varieties it can be done when
we are thinking about plant
ing out-of-doors. The &C
tual job of potting up bulbs
Is so simple that it need not
trouble anyone. The main
job is to get the better varie-
ties and to put them in pots
where they will develop good
root systems.
Bulbs are normally put in
shallow pots, commonly
referred to as bulb pans"
The soil mixture is the same
as for most kinds of house
plants-equal parts of gar
den loan, sand and COM
post or peat moss. The bulbs
should not be planted deeply.
In most cases the tips of the
bulbs are barely covered. The
next step. and probably the
second most important, is
to place the bulbs in a trench
or some situation out of doors
where rainfall will keep them
moist and where the soil will
not freeze so that they can
be brought indoors as wanted.
Oftentimes this . means a
shallow trench with the space
between the pots filled with
peatmoss, sand, sawdust, or
soil. AS the weather turns
cooler a layer of leaves, saw
dust or other mulch is placed
over the pots to prevent
freezing. If rainfall is in
adequate the pots should be
watered to insure good root
growth.
Roots Seen at Bottom
When the bulbs are we'll
rooted, this is usually EVIL
denced by appearance of
roots at the drainage hole in
the bottom of the pot, the
pots may be brought indoors
to a bit more warmth but
kept in the dark. This will
stimulate top growth and
when that growth is 2 or
8 inches high the pots should
be brought out into the light.
The cooler the situation the
more sturdy the growth, but
also slower. In most cases it
Is desirable to keep the pots
in a situation where the
temperature is around so,
possibly lower. During this
period the pots will need fire.
quent watering. Turn them
almost daily to insure SYM
metrical growth.
Only a few bulbs can be
forced into bloom by Christ
mas time. The Roman
hyacinths are usually early
enough, but other bulbs need
to be especially treated if
they are to be forced for such

A 6 or 8 inch layer should be
topped with a thin layer of
soil and a few cupsful Of fer
tilizer. II the compost is to
be used around me-loving
plants, such as the ANIMALS,
some pulverized limestone
might well be added. Alter

and fertilizer produce a rich,
highly useful compost.

It'is not too early to over
haul the cold frame and to
make 1t ready for duty next
spring. It is much easier to
do this work while the
weather Is still mild. Bank
the soil up around the out
side to hold the heat, also to
turn surface water away. If
soil is to be added, now is

(ScrapbOOk October 25)

The promise Of q frost in
the suburbs points to a fall
without brightly colored
leaves. We have not had the
cool nights, and days, which
cause the leaves to color up.
Instead we seem to be headed
for a killing frost, which
means brown leaves. This
condition has prevailed over
much Of the eastern part Of
the country. The countryside
in Pennsylvania is just as
green as 1t is in the Wash
ington area.
Bulb Planting
The continued Towering Of
the ANIMALS has tended to put
of bulb planting until the
summer boomers are through
for the season. This is a nat
ural tendency and does not
affect the quality or size Of
the bloom produced by the
early spring Towering bulbs.
It will cause the daffodils to
flower a bit later than nor
NAL, but that is for only the
one season. The tulips and
the Dutch iris are not planted
until after mid-November so
nothing is really lost by watt
ing for the ANIMALS to sue
cumb to q frost.
Get Ponsies Set
We should try to get the
pansy plants into the ground
within the next week or so.
They need to become well
rooted before freezing
weather. If not well estab-
lished they are likely to be
heaved out Of the ground by
the freeze and thaw weather
which is typical Of the Wash
ington area. We can by
mulching. Offset this to a
considerable extent. but it is
best to plant the pansies as
soon as possible.
Compost Leaves
AS the leaves begin to fall
the gardener will need to
have a compost bin ready to
receive them. Now is a good
time to turn the summer &C
emulation over into a neat
pile for further decomposi-
ton, leaving the pit to re-
