SS a arene ee ay TO EXEMPT SERVICE MEN j Senator Tom Stewart, of Tennessee, has introduced a bill to exempt from taxa- tion all income received by persons in the armed forces. . The Senator does not believe that fighting men should help pay for the war. His bill would cover the servicemen’s en- tire income, both that earned as a service- man and that from other sources. There is some argument for the idea that the fighting man should not pay for the war in which he fights, but little basis *for relief from all taxation. If the cost of the war could be ascertained and a special surtax placed on incomes to cover the cost, it might be possible to exempt servicemen from the surtax without relieving them al- together of their responsibility as citizens. There is another point to be consid- ered, There are servicemen who have been on active duty, in foreign theaters of war for two years and longer. Obviously, they eave entitled to greater. consideration that & younmster called to the colors in 1945, who may not be sent out of the country and, consequently, never see active service. a If the idea of the bill introduced -by “Benator Stewar! is to reward fighting men, “ft might be a good idea to provide a tax sexemption of a graduated type, with the eecemption based upon length of service “and actual service in combat.

And there was emphasis on the trag- ,ady of his not having lived till the Allies are victorious, but tragedy like that has stepped into the life or the end of life of many millions of men—they strived to at-, cain a goal, and just as it was in sight, they began that journey from which no man {| returns. However, so far as the war is con- cerned, Mr. Roosevelt’s passing will not in any way retard the: Allies’ march to vic- \tery. As Speaker Crary of the Florida House-of Répresentatives said, our machin- ery of govalnment is too great to be dis- rupted by the death of any one man, and Goverior Caldwell stated, “We carried on under Roosevelt and now we will carry on under President Truman.” That remark epitomizes the Spirit of America. It was that Spirit that, after the Péarl Harbor backstab, brought forth a marvel of production—the most marvelous thing in all this war—a marvel that has confounded our enemies and evoked the. admiration of our Allies, $ That Spirit will live as long as the United States lives. It was that Spirit that faced and conquered many another trag- edy in the life of our Union, and it is that Spirit that will maintain our freedom in this war and restore the freedom of count- less of millions of other people. Roosevelt has gone to sleep—the sleep eternal—and we lament his leaving us, but the Spirit of America still marches on! A BLAMES DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM “The 10,000-year-old economy of scarcity” will be,ended by an economy of plenty ‘ib peace time, declares Howard W.
