The .measure is a compromise much closer in form and f result t c the Republican sponsored Carlson Bill than the original Com­ mittee BUI backed by the Administra­ tion, Under its provisions-the six percent normal tax. and the first thirteen percent of surtax will bo a- hated on all 1942 income, This will mean a complete abatement or for­ giveness of 1942 taxes for all per­ sons having a net taxable income of two thousand, dollars or less, .A# U result approximately ninety percent of the individuals filing 1942 returns will have all their taxes, forgiven. Those with higher incomes will have their 1942 tax burden reduced by $380,00 on each two thousand dollar bracket .of income. Over all the bill will forgive oy abate -approximately seven and one-half billion dollars out of the total of nine billion three hun­ dred million dollars originally levied o n -1942 incomes. The measure also provides for the partial collection of future wages on a- Pay-As-You-Go basis through a twenty percent de­ duction from all wages and salaries, above exemptions'. Such payroll de­ ductions will begin July 1st1if the Treasury tax , collection machinery can be set up by th a t time. i r \ • •;* •. , ' A 6* .' S5^ . . ^ *»v. The1fight in the House on. the tax collection bill was a hard and a close one,- The Republicans generally sup­ ported the Carlson Bill, which was a modified version of the RumI Plan with protective features against 'wind­ falls and exhorbinant profits written into the measure. On the teller vote , in the Committee of the Whole the Carlson- Bill was adopted, but when a roll call was demanded in the House the tax plan sponsored by the Kansas Congressman' was- 'defeated (by the close; vote of 206 to 202. The next pariimentary step was a "Vote on the RobertSon-Foratid substitute fo r' the Committee Bill, which was adopted by a -majority of BOvotes/ The Ad­ ministration and the House Leader­ ship took, its worst defeat of the cur­ rent session in its loss of the. Com­ mittee sponsored tax measure. This legislation now .goes to the Senate, where another attempt will jbe made to have the Carlson Bill adopted as a substitute. Should- the attempt be successful there seems but little doubt th a t the House would agree to .the Sedate action. However, the Senate may re-write the -bill along entirely new lines. Ho one- can be certain what the tax bill will finally contain Until' the Senate has acted and dif­ ferences between th e ,House and Sen­ ate versions of the measure have been ironed out. So don’t try to figure your tax savings for a little while at. least. ernpr of-the state of Ohio the schools were indebted, many millions of dol­ lars which had been borrowed on authority of the Davey administration to keep the institutions operating, in as much as there was little or no money in the state school fund over a period of many months. One prom­ ise made by Gov. Bricker was that he would see that this great school debt of borrowed money would be paid within five years. A. E. Richards, clerk of the local schools informs us he just received' a cancelled note of the local schools amounting to $11,000 which has been paid in full, and the local board re­ lieved of any obligation whatever With, the debt. The entire school refunded’debt-of several millions was-paid on Februarj 15th .this.year according to a, letter accompanying -the “paid note”. Hot only has the Davey school debt been paid and boards relieved of in­ terest paid to banks, but the school; are being, operated on a “pay-as-yoi' go-basis”. How different than what the Hew Deal Administration is hand­ ing the public in higher and higher taxes and higher and higher debt fo r’ current revenue outside of the cost of the war. The coal strike is being followed by the Congress with close interest. Legislation -has already passed the Senate to prohibit strikes and walk­ outs ' in key industries during war times. The measure, sponsored by Senator Connally of Texas, will un­ doubtedly pass the House. Inciden­ tally, the Connally Bill is the first bill placing any restrictions on labor unions that has passed the Senate during the Roosevelt Administration. The House has passed a number of labor reform bills during the last few yeari, all of which were held up or met defeat in the Senate, usually at the result of Administration oppo= sition, There is-a general feeling in J, Congress that the head of the United Mine Workers, (John L, Lewis, has thus fa r oiitmsneuvefed the Admin­ istration In the coal controversy, and that fn the final outcome he will probably get most of the benefits he has been seeking, •Perhaps our read­ me will refer back to an item appear- (Continued oh page two) Gives Welcome Address COLOHEL H.
