it is called it will be a shock to the citizens of this cation who must foot war costs But in addition to the Compulsory savings plan there should be in this new measure some type of in come tax provision Whether! known as the Rumel plan or a Morgenthau mora torium the need for it is apparent and pressing It is to be hoped! that Eco nomic Czar Byrnes will take a broader view of the problem than that assumed thus far by the treasury- - department The need for a federal Income tax plan is more than a scheme to make payments M painless £s possible to the taxpayer (Some kind of legislation is essential to avoid eco nomic chaos which would result in pre- eenting millions of tax bills jto persons who could not pay them and who might repudiate them in some manner no matt ter what the penalty This condition would not arise because cf a lack of patriotism on the part of the people — already in a great majority of cases they have proved their willingness to support the war effort financially They have "bought war bonds and many of them Ere already planning and pinching to set aside enough money out of salaries and incomes to pay the tax collector next March But the situation appears in many cases hopeless Those who are now buy ing bonds may find it necessary to sell them next year to pay their taxes Great numbers of "white collar work ers" have received little or nothing in the way of salary increases They have cut down expenses to buy war bonds in the face of rising living costs (They have tried to keep up their usual contributions to churches and charities ' They are striv ing to save for tax payments1 but do not Know how to meet new levies' The situation facing those who have gone into war industries and!

Wtibnncthe Right in Der Fuehrer's Face Morning- - New York Highlights By Charles B Driscoll NEW YORK-- Whenever there's a rose show or rose festival on I manage to get there if the distance isn't too great Recently there was an indoor rose show at the Hotel Pennsylvania sponsored by an association of all the rose growers in the country It was something to see In the main lobby about a city block long the customers had to take up less room than usual because a bank of roses extended down the center fully 15 feet wide There were 10000 cut roses in that bank nicely arranged for visual effect All hotel employes woie fresh roses At this time of year when outdoor flower gardens in New York's latitude are all dead of frost it is uplifting to see an extravagant display of flowers raised in hothouses And there is no flower that I can think of that gives the customers such a lift as the rose' Quite often a single rose will do the trick as well and as quickly as 10000 roses When my wife came home from Minne sota a few weeks ago on account of daugh ter Pat's illness of pneumonia she was much disturbed by the bad news of course She paused in the yard to compose herself be fore going up to the sick room and pausing plucked a rose She took the rose with her to the sick bed The girl whose malady was just about at its worst stage looked long at the flower Then she and her mother both burst into tears' Maybe that wasn't the best treatment for pneumonia but I can testify that the patient improved from that moment on When she was better and the rose had faded away there were other roses for the bedside table But Pat ' said "That was a perfect rose There never grew a more beau tiful one What kind was it?" I only knew thatit grew on a rose bush that Charlie Perkins gave me last Bpring Perkins grows hundreds of acres of roses at Newark N J When I visited his rose farm and admired a certain rose he thoughtfully sent a root of that particular rose after me Thus it happened that it was a perfect rose that my wife took to the sick daughter I was thinking of all this when I chanced upon Charlie Perkins at the rose show the other day and I told him the story Roses have many thorns the growers say But such little incidents help to make the business pleasant I'm sure The 10000 roses In the hotel lobby were all gathered up that midnight and distrib uted among several hospitals in New York Ten thousand sick people awoke next morning to see a beautiful rose in the room I wonder how many of them said that that indeed was a perfect rose the best they had ever seen? And I wonder how manv felt better and started on the way to recovery because of the uplift of spirit imparted by that little flower Behind Scenes of Current News -- pfaitw By Paul Mallon WASHINGTON— F

(the Texas primary law) and other restrictions (edu cational qualifications) which can be used to keep Negroes awav from the Democratic pri maries more effectively than the $1 or $150 poll tax But

political 'mechanic the nomic stabilizer Jimmy Byrnes to stabilize the riot in the senate will be reopened from time to time hereafter until the Democratic presidential nomination is made in 1944 As for the real issue of Negro voting in the south no solution appears imminent through any legislation One of the eight states Tennessee is about to repeal its poll tax restriction Around the senate they say — whether true or not — that this is because the Crump machine in Memphis is getting tired of paying the $1 or $150 for all the negroes it votes each election day and that it is espousing repeal as an economy measure to cut campaign ex- penditures States Favor Repeal In all the debate it has become clear that southern states are willing to repeal but do not want the federal government assuming their power to do so A direct way in which Barkley and the administration could have avoided this anti-statrights legislation and the fight and filibuster as well would have been to pass a resolution "requesting" the state legislatures to repeal the poll tax Such an expression of the sentiment of congress would certainly have promoted repeal faster than the pending assumption of federal power Strangely that peaceful method never oc curred to anyone Distributed by King Features Syndicate Inc es WASHINGTON— It will be a great mistake if the thrilling successes of our armed forces in north Africa and the south Pacific should lessen concern over the muddle in Washington For it is a muddle of major proportions and it is not an answer to say that we are winning the war nor to point to the production of ships planes and guns On the contrary the effectiveness of our output of fighting forces and the amazing American industry make more indefensible the gross incompetency and shocking waste of man power money and materials that characterizes the Washington scene A few days ago Senator Byrd of Viragainst ginia delivered aanother broadside this situation In striking statement he described the swollen condition of the governmental body indicted the administration as the chief labor hoarder and work waster asserted that the overmanning of government agencies is a great hindrance to the war effort If the 'personnel were reduced d he said no proper function of th the gengovernment would be impaired and eral efficiency would be greatly increased 'Facts Well Known Though Senator Byrd's charges are definite and concrete no reply is made to fact them No reply is possible The adminare too well known within the istration itself to permit contradiction Actually Mr Paul McNutt the man power commission's head conceded that he agreed with "some things" Senator Byrd had said So does everybody else who knows anytrouble thing about it There isn't much facts: the getting agreement as to the about a bad trouble is in doing something state of affairs which will prolong the war cost unnecessary American lives and make much harder our postwar problems It has always been hard to stir th people generally on the subject of governmental extravagance and expansion For it is essentially a dull subject and only when they acutely feel the pinch can they be really aroused Nevertheless no one will contend that Senator Byrd is not performing a great public service In continu-of ing his fight against the heavy weight administration resistance and popular inertia Nor will it be denied that there is grave progress toward danger in the unchecked complete confusion which" he portrays Senator It seems pertinent to ask why in more not docs Congress support get Byrd and out He gets plenty of press support There are few newspapers which have not recognized the truth of his charges and commended his course In congress he has been ably supported by Senator Tydings of Maryland and a few other Democratic and Republican senators The success of his joint committee in obtaining cuts totaling over a billion dollars under the circumstances was a remarkable achievement He literally forced the president into making them But these cuts are already nullified by the steady increase in the pay roll of over $16000000 a month The office of price administration alone Senator Byrd points out is approaching its goal of 90000 paid employes for which there is no excuse at all In view of the great national peril involved in the piling of these thousands upon thousands on the pay roll it is astonishing that Senator Byrd should be almost the only public man to keep hammering at it Some are too busy doing other things While agreeing with Senatof Byrd others are so tied up with war work as o make attack impossible Others Jkre afraid of incurring White House resentment Tights Almost Alone'1 The result is that Senator Byrd fights almost alone It is certainly time he had more help What is the matter with the Republicans? All they do is talk In generalities Why don't they now get behind Senator Byrd (or in front of him If they like because he is willing enough) and make a drive that will compel a reduction in waste bewilderment and inefficiency? In brief why don't the Republicans concentrate on the soundest issue in sight? And what is the matter with Mr Willkie? He wants to contribute to the winning of the war and the winning of the peace too What better way can he find than in helping check progress toward the point where the government bogs down through the sheer weight of its own growth? Would he not do more good by backing Senator Byrd than by criticizing Mr Churchill for his attitude toward the British empire? If Mr Willkie would stop trying so hard to establish his 'liberalism" and giving a little less attention to the affairs of Russia India and China get to work on the "home front" it would be fine Senator Byrd would welcome his aid Senator Byrd will welcome aid from any quarter and concede leadership to any wants to lead What qualified man who — he wants is results and aid or no aid he is going to keep on fighting For he has an jdea that early next year when the e millions of citizens feel the full impact of the new taxes public sentiment will give a "terrific impetus" to his reduction fight If he is right about this there will be a great rush of heretofore indifferent politicians in his direction (Distributed by McNaught Syndicate one-thir- constitutional validity Solon See Court Test Senators could see for this reason that passage of the bill would just make another court case Any state could rebel ana Acting on Orders But there will be no new party and no new leader No one really believed Barkley was doing any on orders thing but acting were no imFurthermore there portant bills not even a war bill ready for senate consideration except one about silver coins The time had been well chosen for staging a contest which will certainly do no personal political harm to northern Democrats in home their large Negro-votin- g communities or in fact to the southern Democrats in their white-votin- g home districts harParty unity and working mony however will no doubt suffer Scars left by this fight will be added to welts raised on the same subject by other administration acts and no doubt Sen Byrd's Fight For Economies Receives Acclaim T I J galleries the senate filibuster may have appeared to some to be a great struggle over the voting rights of the Negro minority but on the floor where the participating senators stood it fell far short of that Many senators recognized the maneuvering as politics and litd tle else No more than senators were present the first six days which means about 36 were not sufficiently interested to attend the spectacle Even those who gave ice to Democratic Floor Leader Barkley's cause against the poll tax restrictions of eight south ern states knew in their hearts that probably not a single Negro in those states would ever vote as a result of this bill If It lip-se- ' $1 -- Editor Tribune: The good traditions of any country will be trampled down and wiped out when traitors are put in as loaders The only thing that can cheat a woman out of the last word is the echo of her own voice — Anon The Bridge Club Meets Well girls this certainly is a funny world Nothing surprises xou rememoer me any more when people were overjoyed when some distant relative died and left them a lot of money Well that's all changed now I just heard of a woman who inherited an estate from her grandmother that has made her the envy of her community There wasn't any money in her inheritance but today money can't buy the things she got She got a granite coffee pot and tea kettle two iron skillets a dar ling old stew kettle a copper wash boiler two zinc wash tubs and a carpet sweeper!

A few years ago we paid the farmers not to produce We all know that there were 'thousands of bushels of fruit that rotted on the trees and fell to the ground this last season We know that there are acres of beets and potatoes frozen in the ground that farmers and livestock men by the hundreds are selling out These farmers have been left alone this last year and to my knowledge some have given as many as four sons to the armed forces What these farmers need is man power and a little encouragement To my way of thinking there Is too much interference with every line of business from the farmer to the business man in every walk of life and if we lose the peace we are fighting for the bureaus with their over s can have the lapping credit for it It used to be a pleasure to be in business but it isn't any more Why not give the farmer and livestock man a break and save the $15000000?
