Show COMMENTS GOOD PLANS BUT Various, tax plans have been, proposed in an effort to establish es-tablish a Federal taxing system which would insure adequate government revenue and at the same time encourage the production of industries and individuals. All these plans hafve a common characteristic. They have been evolved by the best brains in the country and are constructive efforts to bring the monstrous problems of Federal taxation under controls before it destroys the very freedom for which American men are fighting in every corner corn-er of the world. But and there is a very large but no plan will work unless the politicians and the people sincerely wish it to work. The old battle of class taxation, with group pitted pit-ted against against group; each1 seeking to unload taxes onto the other fellow, if continued, will block any sane tax plan. The story is told that an Italian 'prisoner of war working work-ing on al peanut farm in the South recently told the owner that Mussolini had told the Italians that they would soon be marching across the plains of the United States. "What he didn't tell us," the prisoner said, "was that we'd have to pick up peanuts on the way." - Tyler(Texas) Journal. |
