BACK TAXING IS
BACK BREAKING
If something constructive isn’t done
by March 15 about putting individual
income taxes On a pay-as-you-go basis,
the present “back taxing” system (pay
ing taxes this year on last year’s in
come) will be a back breaking load for
the 20 million new taxpayers who were
not prepared, for the tax bill passed
last October, and it is bound to affect
the efficiency of the Nation’s produc
tive effort. The possible repercussions
after the war sdem too vast to contem
plate.
Pay-as-you-go income taxes mean
just one thing—each one of us pays as
he earns and hasn’t got a year-old debt
to worry about. Three proposals have
been made: (1) Pay two years taxes
in one year, which would be too bur
densome: (2) Pay taxes on 1943 in
come and postpone taxes on 1942 in
come until after the war which would
keep us in chains indefinitely; and (3>
Wipe out the debt on the 1942 income
while we all concentrate on paying tax
es this year on this year’s income.
The last of thes^three proposals is
the only workable one, as to the effects
both now and after the war. A small
percentage of the citizens might bene
fit from a “windfall”—where their in
come was greater in 1943 than in 1942.
But this would be a relatively small in
equity and could be corrected by com
pelling revised returns in such cases.
What the country cannot stand is a
hangover of income tax debt after the
war This is particularly true of people
living in small communities and farm
ers whose year-to-year incomes change
radically from climatic and economic

conditions over which they have no
control.
The question of pay-as-you-go taxes
is squaiefly up Dd Congress which has
shown it Can act quickly when con
vinced the folks back home want some
thing done. Members of Congress were
elected to represent citizens, who have
it in their power to give directions to
thefir Senators latnd Representatives.
Among many influential organiza
tions that have endorsed pay-as-you
go income) tax legislation are the Na
tional Grange and the American Farm
Bureau Federation. Their endorse
ments need individual backing.
No one objects to paying a fair
share of taxes, especially with the na
tion at war. Millions of new income
taxpayers do not yet realize what they
face on March 15 under the present
tax law. Pay-as-you-go taxes are
merely a matter of bookkeeping for
the Treasury Department, except in a
relatively few “windfall” cases. Can
we allow this to stand in the way of
our productive citizens from financial
constructive legislation that will free
debt and worry, at a time when such
burdens upon Ithe family budget and
the mind can hinder the effectiveness
of waj' production for the forces on
the fighting fronts?

STRAWS IN THE WIND
Martin Dies,, chairman of the
Dies Committee, made an attack on
“radical bureaucrats” and “crack
pots” on the floor of the House and he
suggested that the way to get rid of
them was for Congress to withhold
funds from agencies employing such
persons. Democrats and Republicans
join in applause. As usual, Dies fur
nished particulars, and this time he
named 40 Government employes
whose records he said Would “make
crystal clear just what we mean by ir
responsible, unrepresentative, crack
pot and radical bureaucrats.” The Ad
ministration has never liked Dies, or
the Dies Committee, but Congress has
continued the organization, notwith
standing.
Another straw in the wind has
beeln furnished: by Rubber Adminis
trator Jeffers who is described in a
Washington paper as a “bull-necked
Irishman who rose from office boy to
president of the Union Pacific Rail
road.” He is doing his own job in his
own way. After a row with Army and
Navy officials, he’told a committee of
Congress: “The Army and Navy think
you can take this.country off rubber.
I say you can’t.”
fellows—real he-men just tike you and Bill
and George—from good American homes.
Handle themselves well. too.
“You know. I’ve been checking up on it.
Bob. and I’ve found out that the American
army today is healthier, better disciplined,
better trained, better taken care of than
it has ever been in its history. And you can
take my word for it, Mary, he’ll come back
to you a fine man in great shape. Best of
luck to you. Bob ’*
