It is estimated that the iyjw bill will bring in six billion, one hundred and forty-four million dollars in additional revenue. The new Revenue Act will bring the annual Federal tax collect­ ions up to, or above, a total o f twenty- three billion dollars. In addition Amer­ ican citizens are paying approximat­ ely' nine billion dollars annually in state and local taxes. This makes the total tax bill o f the American . people thirty-two billion ^dollars an­ nually, or almost one-third o f the pre - sent national income. ., A t almost the last hour before re- porting the new’ Tax Bill to the House, the Ways and Means Committee materially increased both corporation and individual income taxes. Under the provisions o f the measure as pas­ sed by the House on Monday o f this week, the corporations of the United States will pay two billion four hun -dred and eighty million dollars more in income and excess profits taxes this year than last. Forty-five percent of normal corporation profits (will be taken for taxes, while eighty-seven and one-half o f all excess profits will be recaptured by the government through taxation.

It is hinted the White House will veto the measure if passed by the House, which it will be. The measure will then be passed over the veto. Credit for arousing public sent­ iment in behalf o f motor car owners goes to Fulton Lewis,Jiy radio com­ mentator, who urged the people to deluge congress with letters and tele­ grams for immediate action and to include grain with oil.

His final German in Springfield will be given on Sept. 6 th. i Dr* Guthrie Jcame to Cedarville In 1932 after he had traveled and studied in Europe and accepted the Spring- field ;charge January 15, 1937. .While here he waB student pastor in Cedar- ville College, Dr. Guthrie obtained his A, B. de­ gree from Grove City College, Pa., in 1925, and was awarded a degree as Bachelor of Sacred Theology'in 1929 after studying irt the Western Eheo- logical Seminary, Pittsburgh. After 1 year as assistant pastor o f the First* Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis- he enrolled for. two years o f study in. the University o f Edinborough, Scot­ land, and later traveled through Egy­ pt, Palestine and other payte o f the world. - , He received ^ ‘degree as-Master o f Sacred Theology from the Hamms Divinity School, Wittenberg College; in 1935, and in 1938 was given his Doctor o f Divinity degree at Cedar­ ville. During the same year he was made a member o f the board of trust­ ees, Dr. Guthrie has completed hia residence work on . a Ph, D. degree from the Unuivprsily o f Pittsburgh/ and will complete his thesis work fo r this degree in a short time. Dr. Guthrie hfts served as president o f the Clark County Ministerial So­ ciety and o f the Moliorists Club and, is now president of the Young Men’s Literary Club. The Northminister official board has voted to accept .the resignation. The Oil City congrega­ tion is a larger congregation than the Springfield charge. one-third o f this coming from an in­ creased tax o f two dollars a gallon on distilled" spirits. Another one-third is coming from a new tax on freight shipments aild transportation, In­ creased excise taxes on cigarettes and tobacco will bring in nearly one hun­ dred million dollars additional revenue. A most important provision o f the bill is the witholding tax o f five percent, which becomes effective Jan­ uary first o f next year, and which will require that a five percent tax be collected at the source from all dividends* bond interest’ and wages ,as when paid, with such amounts so collected to be allowed as credits against the tax to fce paid on 1943 in- eomps. Beginning with January 1st 1944 this withholding tax y ill be in­ creased to ten percent, with the taxes collected at the source to be credited against the total tax due on the annual income. The sponsors call it „ a “ pay as you earn" tax, but it means that during the calendar year o f 1943, at least, taxpayers will be called upon to pay their 1942 income tax, plus heavy portion o f their 1943' tax, There is much to be criticised in the Tax Bill and undoubtedly the Sen­ ate—where “ gag "1 rules do not prevail, and free and full debate is guaranteed — will wake many changes in the measure. The Bill, as presented to the House, falls far short o f raising the .amount o f revenue requested by the Treasury, it places an unusually severe tax burden upon the middle classes.
