Treasury May Lift Levies
Soon to British Level
Morgenthau Says U. S. Should Do
As Well as Great Britain, Canada
WASHINGTON, July 24—(/P>
—Federal taxes approaching
$40,000 000.000 yearly were fore
seen today by Senate Finance
committee members should Con
gress adopt a recommendation of
Secretary of the Treasury Mor
genthau to lift levies eventually
to the British level.
Morgenthau told the commit
tee. in urging a $2,500,000,000
boost in the new $6,271,000,000
revenue bill approved by the
House, that he saw no reason
why the United States ultimately
should not do as well as Great
Britain and Canada in financing
an enlarged portion of war
costs, out of taxation.
Britain, he said, expected to
pay 53 per cent of its war ex
penditures hv taxation in this
fiscal year and committee mem
bers said t Hat if the United
States reached a similar percent
age. its tax bill would approach
$40,000,000,000 for the expect
ed $77,000,000,000 outlay in the
vear beginning last July 1.
-138 Schools
Represented
at Meeting
One hundred thirty-e ig h t
schools were represented at a
meeting held last night in the
Supervisors’ Room at the Coun
ty Building, at which instruc
tions were given in the fall can
ning sugar routine. These rep
resentatives will in turn in
struct the volunteer workers in
each school district.
Maxwell Case, chairman of
the Macomb County Rationing
Board opened the meeting,
which was designed to provide
volunteer workers with uniform
instructions, to prevent recur
rence of errors made in the
Spring canning season, and to
secure adequate personnel to
avoid people having to wait in
long lines to receive their cer
tificates, Case said.
Case introduced the mem
bers of the Rationing Board;
Guv Brown, retiring chairman:
Harold Engleman: Albert Duf
fill; and DeWitt Brewer, execu
tive secretary of the board. Also,
each member of the Staff of the
Rationing Officer was presented,!
Mrs. Russell Stark, director of
the Women’s Division of the;
Volunteer Office of Civilian De
fense, at whose suggestion the i
plan was put into effect, spoke
on the necessity of enlisting as
many volunteers as possible, to
relieve the rush encountered at
the previous canning season.
Miss Beatrice Snay, principal
speaker at the meeting in- 1
structed representatives in fill-'
ing out the necessary forms,
and released supplies to each
District. The Fall Canning Sea— j
son officially opens on Monday,'
August 3, and anyone who is
able to volunteer is urged to
contact a member of the Board
of Directors in his own District. 1

House-approved bill would
boost total federal tax revenues
for the current fiscal year to
$23 271,000 000.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) told re
porters he believed this was
such a stupendous amount that
it could only be reached grad

Senator Byrd (D-Va) also pre
dicted that if any siMble addi
tions were made to the pending
revenue bill, the committee
would have to consider the salw
