If it isn’t one thing it is another. _ A short time ago we ‘vere cuffering acutely in this country from. lack of business, low wages, long felief rolls and glutted markets. Now, just ‘ng money and all the government’s alphabetical.commissions ture is reversed and Washington has started worrying about inflation. The difficulty now, it seems, is good business, high ‘vagee——and a threatened shortage of places to spend our money. , To the ordinary, run-of-the-mill citizen (and we fit in that category), inflation is a fearsome thing, because nobody The Nugget editors saw the above in an advertisement in the Auburn Journal. Who wrote it or where it came from is not known but one thing is certain. It is an appeal which will be echoed by every parent. The Roseville Tribune suggests that every car owner clip it from the paper and place it in a prominent place in his or her*garage, “PLEASE DON’T HURT MY LITTLE GIRL” DEAR DRIVER: Today my daughter, whois seven years old, started to She had on black shoes and wore blue gloves. spaniel, whose name is “‘Scoot’’ sat on the front porch and ‘whined his canine belief in the folly of education as she waved “‘gooybye’”’ and started off to the halls of learning. Last night we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her—the girl with the yellow curls— and the boy across the aisle who makes funny faces. She told me about her teacher, who has eyes in the back of her head— and about the trees in the school yard—and about the big girl who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things—tremendously vital, unimportant things; then we studied spelling. arithmetic, and reading, and then to bed. She’s upstairs now—sound asleep with ‘Princess Elizabeth” (that’s her doll) cuddled in her right arm. You guys wouldn't hurt her, would you? You see, I'm her daddy. When her doll is broken or her finger is cut, or her head gets bumped I can fix it—but when she starts to school, when she walks across the street, then she’s in your hands. e She's ‘a nice kid. She can run like a deer and darts about like a chipmunk. She likes to ride horses and swim and hike with me on Sunday afternoons.

TAXES ARE EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS If the U. S. Senate approves the plan of its finance committee, half again as many Californians will write checks to the income tax collector on March Ist, as ever did before. Exemptions on all incomes will be reduced from $2000 for married persons to $1500; and from $800 for single perby about seven million the number of persons filing income tax returns with the federal government. However, the new taxpayers will account for only about 49 million dollars of the expected 303 million dollars income tax. For there aren't enough citizens in the category to make much more than a splash in the bucket. Most of the huge amount will come from bigger taxpayers whose lowered exemptions will nick them for a few dollars more. The new levy on incomes sounds enormous. But it will not go very far toward filling out the $3,539,700,000 requirement of the immense new tax bill, conceived to be necessary for defense. Sacrifices are going to be needed; corners will have to be cut. With that the average citizen has no quarrel in these times of emergency. e But the average citizen does want to know what-cerners unnecessary governmental frills will be eliminated and when. The treasury reports it is still spending 52 millions a day, while collecting only -13 millions. The nation is now billons in the red. If government is everybody's responsibility. then financing it in sound and economical fashion is everybody's business. Seven million new income taxpayers are going to be ask-ing.about that very shortly now. —-Contributed. RECIPE FOR LOW MORALE Men in the Army are tired of reading the insistent statements of men out of it that Army morale is low. _ It isn’t, they reiterate. Only time hangs heavily on the hands of draftees new to the game of soldiering and there are spare hours they long to have filled. A young fellow doesn’t learn much lolling around evenings, gassing with the boys, standing on street corners watching the traffic, or lined up with the gang in beer parlors. He can’t read seven nights a week, nor afford a movie nearly that _ often, unless he’s luckier than most. Camp entertainments “haven't got really steamed up to any regularity of progra et. : : 4 Out of that need'is born a brand new, nationwide committee of big name sports writers, football coaches, college athletic directors, boxing commissioners and other gentlemen of the sports world. It is organized for the express purpose of formulating and directing a regular sports program for the boys of our armed forces. The eyes of a million or so lonely kids are focused on it today — the brightest spot on their horizon. ) ‘With the cooperation and support of the Army and Navy Departments, the committee plans to arrange camp appearances for sports idols, to exhibit movies of important fights in the ring and of the conference football games. this fall, and probably to establish a regular sports broadcast for young America in the Army camps. ae, _ Possibly no activity that could be devised would better uit or better entertain the boys. It’s the kind of program, . a and fine and vastly absorbing, that every citizen, wheschool as usual. She wore'a dark blue dress with a white collar. Her cocker. sons to $750. And that, say the treasury experts. will increase . the government itself proposes to cut and which of the many . . of all the others; and bigger deductions from payrolls for the whole country will be in the same fix. Labor, that is, can face the future in the knowledge that it will not be cruelly exploit-. ed, but that any sacrifice it makes will be part of a common effort. forting knowledge that when the hangover comes, the whole ~~ntry will be clamoring for the same ice nack.—Sacramen-]. . But anybody who recalls the first World War boom-bust ‘oes something like this: Suddenly. there’s an increase in the money people have to spend—and a corresponding decrease ‘> the thines people can buy. Prices go up a bit; they shoot "1p; they hit the ceiling. Then the roof caves in and there’s ansther depression. ne We all need to remember, during the current “boom,” ‘hat it has been bought with our money and our credit. In an *rmament race with Hitler and his Axis partners, we are using up our capital, drawing on our reserves and anticipating our future earnings. For a time, we are SPENDING OURSELVES RICH. But there’s an end to that, of course, when the bill comes in! Our cure for inflation isn't as complicated as that contemplated in Washington, which is worrying about putting a ceiling on prices, a curb on installment. buying and a tax on wage increases. Our solution would be simply to squeeze the water out of the stock by levying a monthly tax—perhaps a blanket sales tax, or gross income tax—equal to our monthly spending. That would take about 50 per cent of our paychecks and we would then be free to spend the rest in riotous living. —Contributed. : when we've accustomed ourselves to thinner soup, less spend-.

But they also have good cause to be apprehensive. Never before has the immediate present looked so rosy to laboring men and laboring men’s organizations. And yet most of them have the feeling that from now on their situation is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better. So labor—organized and unorganized—had better make the most of the celebrating. For this year is tops for labor. not be so high next year, or for many years to come. Don't get the idea, however, that we have visions of seeing the whole movement step over a precipice tomorrow and nose dive to its doom. All we see is a present situation that is made to order for the little guy who has been kicked around pretty badly.in the last couple of decades—and a future outlook for him, that resembles a gradually closing pincers. . Let's look at where labor is and where it’s come from.

Jobs are more plentiful now than at any time since the World War; and when jobs are plentiful, wages have to be. Township 18, North, Range 11 East, good. Labor organization, furthermore, is at a peak never beore attained. And labor's position under the law certainly is better than it ever was before, with the result that the labor. ing man now is the one who'can brandish a legal club over the ; employer who once used this weapon on him. Yes, labor has come a long way from the era of the 14day. ~ . First of all, employment is just about at capacity: today, jand it probably will get little if any better. And the next few imonths also will bring a brand new phenomenon known as “priorities unemployment’’—men will be thrown out of jobs * hour ential to defense and therefore will be deprived of important raw materials. Secondly. labor will begin to be squeezed by inflation, regardless of what congress does about price controls. So far, wages and total payrolls in many industries have gone up faster than prices, so labor’s weekly paycheck still will buy more things than it has in more than ten years. From now on, however, prices are almost sure tionary parade. Taxes, too, will begin to make laboring men squeal, just like they have made capitalists squeal for these last few years. A talk in congress is now of lower income tax exemptions from $2,000 to $1,500 for married couples, and raising starting rates to around . . per cent. That means that a $200-amonth married laborer who paid little or nothing this year may nay around $100 next year. And by next year, congress very likely will be talking about a national sales tax to go on top social security fund. Labor's unusually strong bargaining position also is due to decline in these next years. The so-called ‘“‘social gains’’ that have been pushed through in the earlier years of the New Deal already are having to take a back seat as the nation concentrates on production for war. And some of the more vicious weapons that organized labor has used also are being taken away, as the pendulum of public opinion swings away from because the plants they are working in will not be deemed es-. to step out in front of the infla-'! escribed as follows: PARCEL (INO. 1: The Ancho Quartz .
