inflation. The difficulty now, it seems, is good business, high

Last night we talked about school. She told me about the

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

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

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,

We all need to remember, during the current “boom,”

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.

LABOR’S HANGOVER
The working men and women of America had ample
reason to celebrate Labor Day. 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.

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.

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,

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

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
