BEFORE APRIL 30, REGISTER. INCOME PUBLICITY Congress has been wrestling with the question of making public salaries and oth- er income of taxpayers above a certain amount, a former provision for such pub- licity having been repealed last year. Un- der the former law incomes of $15,000 a year and over were made public. President Roosevelt wants the licity clause restored to the new tax bill, but the ways and means committee of the House ignored his request. Then an amend- ment providing for publishing incomes of $75,000 or more was adopted when offer- ed from the floor. What the Senate may do about it remains to be seen. Whatever may be said for or against the publicity idea, the fact is that the pub lished income does not fairly show what it is supposed to show. In the case of some of the largest incomes, as much as 60 r cent must be paid’ in taxes, so the indiv often has left much less than half o published amount. It is difficult to see what purpos served by this publicity, except to g curiosity of those who like to pry pub- into other people's affairs.

Most of us sort of resign our- selves to a certain amount of chil- blains and frostbite and do our best to hole in like a rabbit and wait. There are, however, a few small things we can do to make our winter more enjoyable.
