APPALLING TAX BURDEN’ ° .
\ (By Leone Baxter)
For every squad of conscientious objectors to the draft
‘there’s a whole battalion of objectors to the impending new
defense taxes.
Why? What does the forthcoming tax program mean to
California? How will it affect the individual?
Briefly, it will swell this state’s total tax tribute from
slightly less than a billion dollars a year to nearly a billion and
a half. :
It will raise the ante on every man, woman and child,
from . 38 tax dollars a year to 200.
With all their grumbling, few run-of-the-mill taxpayers
have the slightest conception of what that will mean. For the
tremendous, almost annihilative cost of' war is as incomprehensible to the average man as war itself—until the lightning
strikes.
Since the new defense tax is bound to be only a first cost
of any possible conflict to come—a mere wavelet in the surging, crushing sea of costs that must accompany a modern war
— it is just as well to find out about such things early and
learn how to face them if necessary.
Possibly with this in mind the Tax Digest has posed its
current question of the month: “How can ordinary, non-defense expenditures of government be reduced to cushion the
burden of additional federal tax demands?”
Here is one answer to that important query. supplied by
R. W. Jessup. Los Angeles county supervisor: ‘Genuine economy extending to all spending; general retrenchment all
along the line; elimination of all unnecessary services and
employes; sound public budgeting; careful scrutiny of all dav
by day spending; a centralized business management of public affairs.”
Offering a bit more drastic remedy, C. L. Preisker, Santa Barbara county supervisor, answers, too:
“The desire of public officials to spend and give away
other people’s money is a disease which cannot be cured by a
local application of persuasion.” Mr. Preisker:believes. He
proposes: boas
To draft politically minded businessmen for all public
offices from governor down to constable, and to make it the
duty of every business executive to give one-third of his time
to government.
Just as surely as war means privation and defense means
sacrifice, taxes are due to be heavier before they’re lighter.
And it is the better part of practicality to figure out now just
where the axe must fall on non-defense luxuries.
THE HONEYMOON IS OVER!
For the next few months, or perhaps the next few years,
we must go without many of our luxuries to safeguard our security. We must even ration every day necessities, for only
by “sweating blood and tears’’ can we carry on our vast but
vital defense program without serious economic dislocations.
Administrator Leon Henderson of the Office of Price
Administration and Civil Supply, who voiced that warning a
few days ago, served notice that big-hearted, paternalistic
Uncle Sam can’t be beneficient and easy-going any longer. He
has to get tough.
“It is becoming evident now,” said Mr. Henderson, ‘‘that
the amount of copper, steel, aluminum, nickel, zinc, chromite,
manganese and other raw materials required for armament is
going to be so great that we won't have enough left over for
consumer durable goods. This means rationing, not by cards
at the stores, but at the raw material line — and rationing
means some one is going to get hurt.
The government must stiffen its control over prices, too,
added the federal administrator, ‘‘no matter how ornery and
belligerent the outcries become,’ as a safeguard against ruinous inflation. ““The honeymoon.” he concluded, “ is definitely
over!" ;
Somehow, we can’t take quite the morose view of the
matter that Administrator Henderson does. True, we will all
be called upon to make sacrifices; we may even have to
“sweat blood and tears’, as he so aptly phrased it. But overseas, real blood is flowing—in the worst carnage in the world’s
history. Overseas, real tears are flowing—not for lack of little luxuries, but for loved ones who will never come home.
The spend ourselves rich honeymoon is doubtless over, but
that, perhaps, isn't so great a calamity. Maybe, before this defense program is over, we will regain some of our moral fiber
—and some of the courage and strength which built our
America.

I wonder at Eternal Rome
Upon its seven hills,
Her rise and fall in ancient times,
And all her modern ills,
I wish the geese that used to quack
And keep the town awake,
Could come to life and quack right now
For Rome’s eternal sake.
. wonder if you ever paused to realize how many famous
cities have been builded upon seven hills. . used to believe
that Romulus invented the fad, but he probably didn’t. Doubtless in the very beginning of human history, a band of leg
weary nomads came upon a group of hills, stared appraising-’
ly and then exclaimed, “Halt! let’s settle here, build a campoodie and call it The City of Seven Hills.”
The idea caught on and so through succeeding centuries
there were many cities perched upon hills and if the hills numbered seven, there would arise another city of Seven Hills. If
the builders were determined to have this distinctive foundation and there was an extra hill on the building site, they
promptly leveled it. If on the contrary a hill was missing, they
made one of soil excavated from dungeons, underground passages and sub-cellars. And then came Rome.
Now, the builders of the Eternal City conceived a new
idea. they placed a flock of geese upon each of the seven hills
and depended upon them to warn the citizens of impending
danger. Too bad that his alarm system fell into disuse before
Hitler cast his evil eyes upon lovely Italy and her imperial city
Rome. Too bad there were not flocks and flocks of geese to
quack as no geese ever quacked before.
Rome rose and fell. Long centuries whiffled by. In due
course of time, three important events took place. Columbus
sailed uncharted seas, a shot. reverberated around the world,
there was a gold rush. Then it was that San Francisco arose
upon her seven hills to take her place in the. bright galaxy of
earth's most beautiful and important cities. 3
San Francisco, city of romance and unending charm! A
poet once spoke of her as ‘“‘serene, indifferent to fate.” serene? That was before the days of bridges and Bridges. Our
wish for San Francisco is that she may enjoy the span and
enjoin the man. ;
As San Francisco's star of destiny arose to greater
heights, another city of northern California took advantage of
natural topohgaphy and made stirring history as a_ smaller
City of Seven Hills. A little city beautiful of situation. Nevada
City is still on her way. Still thrillingng with the romance of
old, still achieving, still pursuing.
Western breezes wander ever
Through her groves or fir and pine,
Golden memories link her present
With the days of forty-nine,
Like a quéen she stands sedately
By kor gushing mountain rills,
Beautiful Nevada City,
