Theye doesn’t seem to be much difference tween the income tax we paid last March and the one coming up except that the new one is bisger And we can't blame anybody but the Axis. Starting next March, a married man with children and earning up to $2,000 will pay seven times as much as he paid last March. And tor an income between $2,000 and $5,000, the ta. will be about two and one-half times what it is now But on top of that, the government also will be -collecting the new 5 percent Victory tax. LDe- ductions for that for everyone making more than $12 a week will start New Yeai's Day. Where the | tax is not deducted, es in the case of people in business for themselves, the payments must be made quarterly along with the income tax There is also a rebate feature connected with | the Victory tax. Everyone who pays it is entitled to credit. This is 25 percent of the tax for single persons, 40 percent if married. An additional two percent is allowed for each dependent. If a person pays alimony, buys bonds, pays debts or meets life insurance premiums, this credit can be used as an offset to the 1943 income taxes payable in 1944, no On _top of all this, the Treasury will take Probably next project in mind by additional ~ $6,000,000,000 | tax spending and included in the the in an taxes a on regulations enforeihg savings will be bill Already we are paying increased taxes on liquor, |tobacco, other luxuries All in all, these new taxes spell a greatly reduced standz\rd of living for all Americans. At the same time, with the Federal tax load becoming increasingly heavy, already almost at the breaking point, local governments are facing a field of shrinking revenue. Alaska. due to expected de- s in gold mining, fishing, liquor revenues, is going to have a hard time making both ends meet. | The problem of revamping the Territory’s budget without attempting to throw the entire load on the already overburdened Alaskan will be something for 1943 Territorial Legislature to work “out This should not be a year for launching new and expensive ventures on the part of the Territory new cre: | the Lend-1Lease L | (New York Times) | Twenty-one months ago the Axis Powers may | Have looked upon American lend-léase aid to their| enemies as a cloud no bigger than a man’s hm\d.i Now, added to our own war thunderbolts, it masses | formidably in the Western sky. This is the story told in the seventh quarterly report on lend-lease | operations which the President sent to Congress re-| cently, We are now spending on these operations | al the rate of ten billion dollars a year. This great | sum is itself a fraction. It is only about one-seventh | of our total present rate of expenditure for war. By the end of this month a million armed Ameri- | cans will be overseas. Millions more are in training. | We are making the most prodigious productive ef- | fort in human history. | The distribution and kind of lend-lease (rxpol'l\,‘ are significant. In October 40 percent of it went to Britain, 21 percent to Russia. More than half | of the total was military goods, and of these Britain sent an unstated fraction to Russia, Egypt, India and other areas. Food sent to Britain “has meant the| difference between enough to sustain the British people’s intensive war effort and too little wnLhI which to carry on.” Yet we have retained for our| lown military and civilian needs 87 percent of our| pork, 99 percent of four other voluntarily rationed meats, and 92 percent of our eggs. We have given| without real deprivation. We have also sold for| cash and bartered, under reciprocal lend-lease a = rangements about half as mueh again of all commo dities as we have furnished by direct lend-lease. | In his brief message President Roosevelt makes | a statement which every American ought to remem- |ber during the approaching days of rationing and enforced self-control: i “The Nazis and Japanese have used | hunger as an instrument of the slavery they seek to impose. Our policy is the direct opposite. Unit- !ed Nations forces will bring food for the starving' 11 | and medicine for the sick.

The stars encourage retro- spection and regret. HEART AND HOME: Family re- unions are fortunate under sway although disappointments to women are indicated. Leaves of ab- sence and furloughs may be with- drawn or shortened for there are portents of activity in war nl-' fensives. Under this configuration painful memories should be elim- inated as the new year is wel- comed with high hopes. Since ns-i trologers foretell that humanity is! to be purged of many faults and weaknesses, the birth of a new order is to be the outcome of the most terrible war in all history.
