By HUGO S.

There is a widespread impres- | sion’ that’ legislation. enacted) in Washington will, cancel the tax- payer's obligation to the nation and that this will mean that the . citizens of the country will escape ‘|some;of the burdens of taxation that they anticipated in connection with the war. It'is time for us to consider facts in\connection with war. costs, na- tional income and taxation. When they \are- thoroughly understood, the taxpayer will . realize ¢ that there‘ is \no éscape from heavier burdens, rieeessitated by our pres- ent wars. Expenditures for war activities | for the fiscal year 1942 amounted | to $26,011,055,089. The estimate {for the fiscal year, 1943. is $74,- | 000,000,000 and for 1944 $97,000,- 000,000. In the fact of these figures, it is difficult to understand. why anyone could expct that faxes can | be forgiven, cancelled or reduced. The public debt of the United States on July Ist. 1942, was $72,- 422,445,116,..The estimate for July Ist, of this year, is $13 39,142,~ }661 and for July Ist, ‘1944, $210,- 549,150,549. The Government of the United States, including iis war activities , spent $10,692,245,776., , The deficit :for the fiscal “year 1943, es'i- mated at $57,461,252,915 and for the year 1944, the deficit will be $71,047,679,923. These figures should be enough’ to convince any taxpayer: that there is no prospect whatever of reducing the tax burden that must | be borne. It is utter nonsense to! believe that increased war expen- ditures, resulting in an increase in the public debt and creating a { huge annual deficit, tend to lower taxes, cancel taxes or the forgive-' ness of taxes. Not only do the figures as to Government income, expendi- | tures and debts point to heavily | increased taxation, but the in-; | come received by the people of the | United States suggests that they} | are well | taxes. Our national income was $119,-! : 800,000,000 in 1942, an increase of Phone Bl iwe: snty-six per cent over 1941, and | Secretary of Commerce Jesse | | Jones estimates that the national! able to pay ferent 1943 will | 1 income for the year 'reach $140,000,000,000. These figures indicate, without doubt, that the people of this coun- | try are able to pay increased taxe: \ Any congressman in Washington, } with ordinary intelligence, knows| that increased national income must make a larger contribution} ‘to meet the Government's yearly | expenditures. All the discussion. in Washing-+ | ton about the Ruml plan; the Carl-| ‘son Bill and the Foran ’ Bill is nonsense so war as any reduction} in the amount of mongy that the | taxpayer must pay to the Gove r-| ment is concernéd. { While the debate centers around ; the technical question’ as tol whether ihgomes: taxes, shall: be figured on ingome _ received’ inj | 1942 or 1943, the nét result for the | taxpayer is that the Government needs more money, _ the taxpay-; ers’ in¢ome~is increasing and it} lis only logical that the taxpayer | ‘ must pay heavier taxes. The strange hallucination that} has spread over the country, due} to the misconception and con- i fusions that center around various ; | pay-as-you-go plans, is absolutely | amazing. The figures show, be-! yond doubt, not only a necessity | for increased taxation but the abil- | ity of the taxpayers of the na- ‘tion to meet the charges. |. How in the world group of citizens have gotten the | ‘idea that, through congressional! | jegerdemain, taxes will be reduc-} ed, presents an interesting study | in m sychology. Many off our people: are under | the impression that when Con- gress completes its consideration | of the pending measure the ques- | jtion of taxation will be settled. | They forget that the Presidert has | requested that taxes be increased | by $16,000,000,000 and that Con-j} gress will have to devise some | plahs to raise approximately this amount. Regardless of any TS that may be given to taxpayers, as forgiveness, concellation or | pay-as-you-go, the need of the| Government for money to finance | the war will make increased taxa-| tion inevitable.
