FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1940. A well known newspaper correspondent, writing from South America recently expressed the opinion that Captain Langsdorff, of the ill-fated Graf Spee, committed suicide because he failed to understand the Latin character. Apparently. Langsdorff believed the warm and sympathetic reception he received in Montevideo meant the people of Uruguay were sympathetig toward Hitler and the Nazi cause. The captain must have received a rude awakening when, he arrived in Argentina. The press was antagonistic, the peomen were immediately interned. The letter of protests left by Captain Langsdorff bitterly complained of'the hostile attitude of the Uruguyan government, which, he stated was directly opposite to the attitude of the people. He could not seem to understand that the Latin-American people could be sympatehtic toward a group of men who had come through a bitter fight, yet still not sympathetic with the cause they represent. This inability of the Germans to understand the temperaments of other people has been demonstrated PRESTON SEES MORE HIDDEN TAXES IN 1940 By JAMES PRESTON Folks probably would rather start off the New Year thinking about something more pleasant than taxes, but if they want to keep the subject from becoming even more unpleasant, they had better think about it. The reason is that Washington is prowling’ around looking for more taxes. Even the most optimistic cannot see, on the basis of the new Federal budget, how the national government can avoid spending more than it takes in unless it increases taxes. The lawmakers are in a spot. This is an election year. Constituents are getting tired of seeing red figures on Uncle Sam’s books at the end of each year. But the only way the congressmen can eliminate the figures is to cut expenditures, borrow more money, raise taxes, or try some combination of these three devices. And it also is considered politically unwise to increase taxes or reduce government handouts in an election year. What the Congressmen now seek is a ‘painless’? tax—a tax that the average voter pays without realizing it. The truth is that already more than half the government’s income is collected that way. Secretary, Morgenthau recently calculated that consumers paid 63 per cent of 1938 taxes. These were levies like those on tobacco, gasoline, and what are called ‘“‘excise’’ taxes but which actually are sales taxes. Of course the New Dealers like taxes of that kind. They can’ spend and spend and the average citizen does not realize that he is paying taxes which the government gives back to him in the form of relief or benefit payments or a new postoffice, after. deducting the cost of handling the money. In short, the taxpayer thinks he ts getting something for nothing. Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, once Speaker of the House of Representatives, paraphrased the remark of a noted French expert on finance on one 9ccasion to explain this philosophy. He said: “~The ideal method of tax collection is to get the most feathers with the least\squawking of the goose.” Secretary Wallace, who is arguing for a revival.of the processing taxes under the disguised name ‘“‘certifieate plan,” is a\ follower of that school of thought: The other day he was quoted as saying at a press conference: “The great advantage of the certificate plan is that it does not appear in the budget. If it appears in the budget people point to it and say: ‘“‘My, how large the budget is!’’ In other words, what the people don’t know won’t hurt them. . whole system of hidden taxes is that years ago was the innocent suggester of a means by which these hidden taxes were increased tremendously. It happened this way: The House Ways and Means. Committee was battling with the tax problem. It had boosted income taxes as high as it t had burdened ‘corporations with all the taxes they could stand; and it sill needed money. One committeeman explained this to the newspaper reporter who, after thinking a again and again.

Make a regular part of your, and your children’s diet, and lay a firm foundation for permanent ‘good health. Bret Harte minute asked: ‘‘Well, why don’t you put a tax on electric refrigerators?” The committee snapped up the suggestion. It worked out a system under which consumers pay millions in taxes annually without knowing it. The government now not only taxes refrigerators, but radios, automobiles and accessories, chewing gum, lipstick, .cold cream, shotgun}, and dozens of similar things. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS ‘Mistletoe Circle, Companions of the Forest, held installation of officers and enjoyed a turkey banquet last evening. Mrs. Margaret Burr, of Nevada City was the retiring Chief Companion and with “Mrs. Zelda Lewis, grand officer, received their pins from the lodge. ranged and a feature of the evening was the installation of Chief Companion Cora Gregor and her daughter, Mrs. Merle Valenchini, as inner guard.
