Many small-taxpayers simply do not have a t the present time the- money to pay .their 1942 income ..tax’. •If taxes were- collected on a current b&bis, and taxpayers permitted to begin paying on their-1943 incomes, through deduction from wage3, sal-' ariea and dividends on a monthly or quarterly basis, then the tax burden could be spread over the entire year, with- but little loss to the government, . and without great hardship to the taxpayers. President, Roosevelt-dast week, came out in favor o f some sort o f Pay As You .Go Tax Plan, and it is .now being rather freely nwhoted about Capitol Hill that changes in the tax law to provide for the col­ lection o f income taxes on a current basis will be enacted before March 15th-*the present dead line for in­ come tax payments.
