He did |not propose anything so absurd as a return to 1938 income tax levels, but did go so far as to suggest that taxes might be reduced to 1941 levels. This strange idea, the Chinese historian con- tinues, actually gained several adherents. The Treas- ury, in alarm, went before the Ways and Means Committee to combat so reactionary a plan. By such a reduction, the Treasury pointed out, the married man without any dependents and with an income of $1,200 would gain only $29. The man with a $3,000 |income, however, would gain $305; the man with a 185,000 income would gain $590; the man with a $10,000 income would gain $1316; the man with a | $100,000 income would gain $16,325. And the scoun- drel with a $1,000,000 income (for there was one left) | would gain $167,446. { The Treasury was unable to understand how so preposterous an idea could have originated, or how {any liberal could possibly be taken in by it. For it igave the biggest amounts precisely to the men who [needed them least* It gave the least to precisely |the men who needed the money most. What excuse, | continued the Treasury, was there for throwing such iwind(alls into the laps of the taxpayers? Did Con- gress actually propose that the Treasury should | throw away the billions of dollars of assets owing to lit?

Good news is presaged toward | evening. | HEART AND HOME: Bad wea- ther may accent the feeling of de- pression and weariness imparted by the sinister influence of the| stars. All destructive or negative ideas should be cast out of the /mind and hard work should prevent) introspection. Parents who worry because their sons and daughters !may be unable to finish college courses should look forward to the !Lime of peace which is to bring a new arder, a real civilization. This| is a time to walk in faith, believing' in the nearness of victory. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through; necessities caused by war exigen- jcies the American people will pre- pare unwittingly for a pedcetime | in which superfluous privileges snd; luxuries of the past will be decard- | ed. In the leveling of wealth and| the provision for the poor, real de- mocracy is to be a reality. Childmni will be recognized as the most pre- cious possession of the nation and‘ |will be scientifically reared. This| means that financial systems will| be changed and improved, incomes | and earnings equalized, earnings| and incomes regulated.
