NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. MORE TAXES? The House Ways and Means Committee already | has served notice that a new revenue bill will be one of the first measures considered this fall. The Administration has asked for an additional | 12 billion dollars, to be raised through increases in corporation and personal income brackets, and Federal | taxes on state and municipal bonds. | Gongressional leaders, however, say that new leg- islation will raise no more than half of this goal, and | most likely the figure will be around three or four | billions. Congress is- reluctant to levies too much, and it is likely that only small in- boost personal income | dissemination of war In some quarters. Most agencies not vitally connected with the war effort will be cut Undoubtedly, one of the first questions the Ways and Means Committee will have to answer in studying the new revenue bill will be that of how near the United States is to the saturation point. The National Influstrial Conference Board recently compared the taxes of the United States with those of Britain. It found out that tax payments in the United Stat including Social Security contributions, were 26.7 percent of the national income. The correspond- ing tax total for the United Kingdom is 40 peréent of the national income. Evidently there is still room for increases in the United States. But it should also be pointedl fut that before the war, the people of Britain were paying 26 percent of ann total income in taxes, while those of the United | States paid 20 percent. Britain also has been in the | war several years longer than we have, and this increase has not been a sudden one More \\ ar ‘\ ws—-“e ane (Cincinnati Enquirer) Since democracy is founded on the concept that | the people who make up a nation are equipped with \lll“leH( mentality to make their own decisions and | form their own opinions, it is encouraging to learn‘ that. President Roosevelt has acted to insure a freer | movement of news from its sources to readers and listeners. In recent letters he reminded heads of the armed services that the Office of War Information was established for the purpose of giving information as to the progress of the war to the general public: | that such information should not be hidden unless | military secrecy so demanded.

Earlier they may be depressed and uncertain, but the stars presage| happy family reunions. Girls ~hmllm forget romance while they concen- | trate upon college courses. This be an auspicious date for the excuse that the issuance of certain reports might impede the progress of the war. In many instances | censorship itself has instigated uncertainty and doubt | which have been much more harmful to the geuexal public effort than would have been truthful an- nouncemenits relative to matters and deyelopments. Our people are experienced enough and calm enough —now certainly, if this might have been questioned during the first months of battle—to accept adversity as well as success, A policy which demands a complete honesty in the | news will do much to, combat the waves of overconfidence which have swept the nation with every major success of Allied arms. We know, certainly, that the winning of such a war as we now are fighting necessitates the sacrifice of hun- dreds of thousands of lives; of billions of dollars in matetiel.

Prisoners are now being paid 80 cents a day, as provided in the Gen- eva Convention on treatment of prisoner: But great numbers of prisoners are arriying from the col- lapsed battlefields of North Africa and Sicily, and the unions are wor- ried that wholesale employment of these men, at 80 cents a day, may beat down prevailing wages. The Farmers Union has joined labor on this point. They will stim- | ulate legislation to force the pay- ment of higher wages to prisoners. !

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers warn young persons who are receiving high wages that tempor- ary affluence may be most unfor- tunate in the future unless they make wise use of their money. By 11945, or even before that, there will be drastic cuts in earnings and then the wise boy or girl who has saved a nest egg will have reason to re- Jeice. The seers emphasize the im- portance of looking forward to com- pleting interrupted college courses. In postwar times a high degree of i technical training and a good edu- cation will be required.
