And this was another reason for the need for higher rates AND INCOME TAX Congress is doing its best to reduce taxes, and a good many people think it's about time. Here are a few interesting items concerning taxes: National income today, in the post-war boom, has Federal taxes have increased 13 doubled since 1929 times, About one-third of your last year in Federal, territorial income was taken away and local taxes or 30 cents out of every dollar A married man with a $5,000 a year income now by jor | fourteen had either been pe Away from Controls (New York Times) The large body of temporary laws passed in nection with the prosecution of the war fell three broad categories—those which were to last ing the period of “hostilities,” those associated the states of “emergency” declared in 1939 and and those which were to continue until the tion of war So far as the last of these three groups is concerned, their demise probably still lies well in the future. But most of the elaborate system of wartime controls provided in the first two categories has now been swept away On Dec. 31 last clamation bringing end, and paving the w: of fifty-three wartime powers, close of that day.

Last week the President signed a measure continuing modified gov- ernment control over rubber. This measure restores the natural rubber trade to private industy as of that date, but retains control over domestic allocation and use of both natural and synthetic rubber. The compromise bill under which s rationing and price controls are extended until Oct. 31 emerged from the Senate just in time to receive the President’s signature before the deadline ‘he curtailment of sxecutive powers which now becomes effective neces- sitates the revocation of a number of control orders by the Civilian Production Administration, but these limiting commercial construction and channeling scarce building materials into housing will be transferred to the Housing Administrator under the Patman Emer- ! gency Housing Act. Thus have wartime controls come to the point where they are not merely exceptions to the rule, but a fast-disappearing feature of the Ameri- 'can scene. Modern Art in the Public Eye (New York Sun» Among the most common of provocative remarks heard in casual conversations is “I don’t care much for modern art.” The speaker is often a person who knews little or nothing about “modern” art, and nearly always is somebody who misuses the term. 1Ir terest in contemporary American and foreign art is |apparently increasing steadily throughout the United | States. There is, however, no sure means of measuring | such public interest, for it is distributed among schools and colleges, libraries, clubs, business and professional (groups and a countless number of persons who go to exhibitions of their own, free of organized influence. i One interesting gauge of popular reaction to art is museum activity. The Museum of Modern Art in New York has just reported that last vear more than 1,533,500 persons came to see its thirty-two exhibitions. Expansion of its educational services is suggested in the news that about half of the museum'’s 12,000 mem- i bers live outside New York City, and that forty-two foreign countries have called upon the museum for assistance of one kind or another.
