There'll Be No New Taxes
Nobody is worrying very much about anything, right
now, what with this holiday spirit still in the air. But when
the “time out” ends and the battle of life begins again, the
subject likely to cause the most fretting will be the Federal
financial situation. The debt is more than $34,000,000,000;
it will be 1938 before tax receipts begin to balance running
expenses; and indications are that Uncle Sam will begin to
tighten the purse strings a bit. _If he doesn’t a lot of people
will be uneasy about inflation. If he does, protests will pour in
from the ranks of WPA, from governors and from mayors.
Perhaps business will solve the whole thing by absorbing a
large part of the unemployed. In any case, there will be no
new taxes. The president said so last week.—Contributed.
Thirty-Three Millionairs
Everybody seems to be back on his feet but the millionaire. The annual income tax summary, released the other
day by the U. S. Treasury, indicated that only 33 Americans
write their incomes in figures of $1,000,000 or more. Back
in 1929 there were 513 millionaires. There is a lesson incidentally in this income tax report, which cannot be too
strongly emphasized. Only five per cent of the people pay income taxes. It is the pnly really direct tax levied by the Federal government. Does it finance our government? Hardly.
It yields a mere $511,400,000! Indirect taxes on the 95 per
cent who pay no income levy, net $2,500,000,000. And still
some people feel that just because they never write out a
check payable to Uncle Sam, government money is coming
out of someone else’s pocket !—Contributed.
Football In Bowls
There may be. a Northern California and a Southern
California, and they may have their family squabbles now and
then, but just let some captious Easterner start throwing
brickbats at either end of our state, and watch California as a
whole rise up to squelch him.
Take this Rose Bowl football classic at Pasadena on
New Year's Day, for example. Various sections of the country have tried to belittle it this year, claiming that the teams
of Washington and Pittsburgh are just‘a couple of beaten outfits playing just another football game.
And there’s scarcely a Californian from the Siskiyous to
the Mexican border who's not ready to point out umpty ump
best eleven.
Most of the belittling comes from regions that have
‘ scheduled their own “bowl’ battles, such as the Sugar Bowl,
the Salad Bowl, the Lettuce Bowl and the Cotton Bowl, to
name just a few.
New Orleans contends that its Sugar Bowl game is the
real New Year's Day “‘colossal."’ That, of course is mere twad‘ dle. One of their contenders is a California team, once defeated. The other is the one which the late Huey Long used to
call “‘my team,” and it has suffered a tie.
And besides, who started this “‘bow1”
Year's football, anyway ?—Contributed.
