GET READY TO PAY Fs The careless reader, who thinks that the Ruml plan, which proposes to ‘forgive 1942 taxes.” will ease his income tax pay- | ment in March, may be interested in the fol- lowing warring “Nobody is going to go ta People might as well go ahead and prepare to make the March 15th payment. If they | haven't the money, they had better begin preparations to get it. A rude shock awaits people who think they will not have to pay =the... heavy taxes.’ This is the solemn truth. The Rum! plan will not affect the payments of any Amer- | ican unless his 1942 income’ was larger | than his 1943 income will be. Even so, the effect will not be apparent to the taxpayer until the end of 1943, when he will get a credit on the income taxes due to be paid in | 1944, | It is important for individuals to un- | derstand this. Much of the applause for the Rum! plar springs irom those who think that it will ease their tax payments in 1948. This is not the case. If aman made $2,500 in 1942 and | 00 in 1948 there will be , no change whatever in the income tax that | he will be required to pay on March 15th, | ardless of whether the Ruml plan is adopted cr not. Nor will there be a change | in the total amount of the tax that he wiil have to pay in the year 1943. on 2,5 makes the same $2 The President of the United States, it appears, is reserving unto himself, and his appointed m and naval advisers, the final decision as to where and how Amer- ican forces shall be used against the Axis nations. This seems to be nothing but sound common sense. Certainly, there is no justi- | fication tor the thought that we should p mit Mr. Winston Churchill, or Joseph Stal- | in, or Chiang Kiai-shek to out-vote us on a | Board of Strategy. Petty spites are heavy shackles. If you have a champaign income, it is foolhardy to expect to live at a beer rate.

Man, under pressure, works best and fastest, and the same thing applies to na- tions. Though war is cruel and barbarous, it has done more to improve the tools of civilization than any other factor or combi nation of factors that have made their im- pression on the progress of mankind. While it may evoke feelings of revul- ! sion to say that anything good comes out ot war, yet a hundred and one confirmations | may be found in theyadvancement of man from the Stone Age to his present status. He fought first with stones and clubs, when he discovered “they could do more harm than bare fists. The day came when, atisfied with the distance that | he was d he could throw a stone, he sought for greater propulsive power ,and eventually found it in the bow and arrow. so But he has never been satisfied with | | the power of the implements he employed in war, and, persevering under he has always found something better. Cervantes, in his Don Quixote dela Mancha, written 360 years ago, said, ‘“‘Mat- pressure, ters, pertaining to war, are more subject to | continual change than they are in any other sphere of life.” He dilates on that subject and points out that improvements, made _ in times of: war, are used in promoting otr welfare in | times of peace. Explosives that are invented to blow are used effectively in peacetime occupations. The airplane was little more than an experimental ‘‘crate” betore the first World War, which provid- ed the impetus to inventive genius to make the airplane, by the time that war had come ; to an end, an outstanding factor in mod- ern life. Since this country the war, American genius, working under pressure, has made so many improvements to the air- entered | plane, the one that was turned out a year ago is now scent, which bears oui what Cervantes said more than three and one-half centuries ago. The transformation of the airplane to make it a more effective weapon in this war will make it a safer and faster commer- cial asset when peace comes. And one may feel sure that America’s secret bombsight obsol | will be used effectively in peaceful callings. And so will the wonderful telescopic sight in anti-aircraft guns, which is capable of fixing a deadly aim on a rocket speeding at 450 miles an hour. The sight is wholly me- chanical; all the gunner has to do is to step on the trigger. And so it has been with many other in- ventions that resulted from the pressure of war. Yes, even out of war comes good. atire: as ans were. “Tops” in easy Living or dead, there’s one thing Hitler cannot escape: the wrath of God. sa cat may look at king, so an American may give the President a tip. Swastika, my dear sir, is accented on the a | first, not the second syllable. Thetemainder of 1943 presents mosi Ameri¢ans’ with problems they never ex- pected to face. What with war all over the face of the globe, and with millions of our young men involved in the fray, there has become nec- € ry some restrictions upon the right of the average American to do as he pleased. Business men will face “hardships,” says one commercial forecast, which, by ihe way, did not_remark upon the hardships and dangers to be endured by our fighting men.? Housewives will be unable to buy ail the food that they can pay for, or charge at the grocery, and this will be terrible de- spite the fact that we will continue to be the world’s best-fed ‘peoples | Adults and children "Will have to fore~ go the use of stht fpmil oe- casionally, iit drder «that yA ache tanks get fuel for, use in battle/ However, none of them will wish to swap rides with sol- diers or sailors. Even so, the year may prove pretty good to the American people. If it does not bring them victory in one of their wars, it | will probably give them positive proof that it is around the corner in both conflicts. With such encouragement we can put up with inconveniences, discomforts and sacrifices and we ought to do so cheerfully, | loyally and with stout hearts. as Hitler | _THE KEY WEST CITIZEN —— ' LETTER FROM KEY WiST IN MOTHER DAYS CONE By SEL. ngage Eis!
