The President has signed the
new tax bill and now it is in full
force and effect. Much of the in
creased revenue will not be forth
coming until after January, but
some increases in excise taxes on
liquors, beer, cigars, cigarettes,
etc., will become payable after
November 1. It is estimated that
the increased excise taxes will
amount to 50 million dollars
monthly.
The total added revenues ob
tained are variously estimated.
The Treasury estimators who
wanted a much higher return say!
it will be about 7 billion dollars.
The Senate placed the figure at
from 9 to 11 billion dollars. The
larger part will come from cor
poration and income taxes, and
the amount of such incomes will
not be known until March. The
tax on excise profits is expected
to yield big returns. But even
1942 estimates may not be a very
reliable basis to figure on. Sev
eral hundred thousand small bus
iness firms have closed up, there
are thousands of vacant business
buildings in big cities as well, and
small business has been paying
many millions in corporation and
income taxes in recent years. Big
business will be hit harder, with
sonsiderable leeway for profits.
Gross federal taxes with the
new revenues are expected to
reach 24 billions of dollars in
1943. About half of that is ex
pected to come from the various
forms of corporation taxes and
levies upon high mdividi|ai in
comes. There are 470,000 business
corporations, or there were be
fore the war, but over 200,000 of
them did not have taxable income
during the depression. In 1941,
their total income, before taxes
were paid, was about 14 billions
of dollars. With three times that
amount flowing out in war ex
penditures in 1942, the operating
income before paying taxes may
have increased to 20 billions or
more. In 1929, corporations had
about 6 billions left for surplus
and dividends after payment of
all taxes.
The new tax measure repre
sents the work of ten months.
The House passed it last July.
There are many unsatisfactory
compromises evident. Many of
the schedules could never have
received approval in time of
peace. But now added revenues
are needed for the largest pro
gram for war expenditures the
world has ever known, and that
need dominated. The Victory tax
of 5 per cent, deducted monthly
from wages and salaries exceed
ing $12 per week, had the strong
est opposition. # It probably would
not have been inserted over such
opposition except for the threat
of a general sales tax.
Every new tax bill involves
more administrative costs and ad
ditional employees. Hundreds of
carloads of paper will be required
for printing the millions of new
bank forms, while as much more
will be needed for the central and
field offices of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. The Victory tax
also is going to increase consider
ably tpe number of bookkeepers
in the offices of larger business
firms to keep track of deductions
from wages and salaries. Incident
ally. government employees, now
numbering over two million, will
"pay in their monthly amounts and
all government agencies and de
partments will have their clerical
forces working over-time on the
deduction program. riThe War De
partment civilian staff now num
bers dyer one' milium employees,
including the womens at Army
camps, bases and projects. >
A Washington conference, has
‘y been called to discuss a draft of
“manpower" for industry. Don
aid Nelson says that over one
tlurd of our working population
UfiH. be doing some form of war
work in 1943. The growfh of war
industries,ignd that of the Army
and Navy has reached *' point
wlitre some organisation of man
power is deemed necessary pro
duction accordingly. It ii"claimed
4h**t‘ many at the big industries,
art “pirating" workers from
other through bonuses and wage ’
increase inducements. This is oc
curring, notwithstanding an or
der against such practices and in
spite of wage ceilings supposedly
in effect.
Included in the phases of the
labor situation is that of the
farms. So much attention was
given industrial employment that
agriculture failed to receive con
sideration until the movement
from the farms became so acute
that production of food products
commenced to decline. Now* what
to do to keep up agricultural pro
duction has become as important
as the maintenance of industrial
production. What Washington
chieftains may offer as a solution
will be learned with interest.
One of the strange ideas com
ing from the eastern press, which
is even being considered by some
writers who should be better in
formed, is that the government
should consolidate thousands of
small farms into large units, and
lessen the need of farm help by
machine operation. There is no
backing for such a suggestion at
present, and probably there will
be none. The family-sized farm is
the very foundation of agricul
ture. Such farms are feeding our
people, including our armed for
ces, and also producing millions
of tons of food suplies for Britain
and Russia, where large farms
are common. Give our farmers a
fair chance to operate, provide
them with help and equipment,
and enable them to carry on, and
they will meet the situation. The
world’s largest farms are sugar
plantations. coffee plantations,
etc., and coffee and sugar are be
ing rationed.
The WPB steps into the farm
situation by issuing a new order
cutting the manufacture of agri
cultural implements by 80 per
cent for next year. That will
make the output about 23 per
cent of that of 1940. There were
170,000 farm tractors made and
sold, this year, «nd only 37,000
will be made next year. Only 50,
000 milking machines will be
made, 14,000 mowers, 4,680 horse
corn-planters, 2,000 grain bind
ers, and other machinery for
seven million farms in like ratio.
The government need steel, and
it needs mechanics and factories
for war production to conserve
all materials it needs to win the
war. Nobody likes to protest the
calm decision of our war-agen
cies. But food also is important,
very important, and it must be so
considered. More iron furnaces
using the ore beds of the middle
west which now are idle, might
aid steel production and help pre
serve our food producing facili
ties
NEWS RELEASE OF
JUNIOR RED CROSS
The American Junior Red Cross
annual Enrollment for Service
will take place November 1 to 15.
This year’s goal is to enroll all
schools 100%. The Junior Red
Cross is also observing its twenty
fifth anniversary year of service
to the community and the nation.
In 1917 President Woodrow Wil
son formed the Junior Red Cross
by proclamation inviting the
school boys and girls of the coun
try to do their part in the war ef
fort. Millions of young Americans
answered his call, and during
World War I constructed more
than 15,000,000 comfort and re
creational articles for the armed
forces as well as performing nu
merous other services. They con
tributed $3,000,000 which was
used to establish the Junior Red
Cross National Children's Fund,
and expended a large portion of
this amount in setting up and
equipping reconstruction and re
habilitation centers in Europe
I following the war. And they laid
the ground work for the peace
time program which has been
carried on throughout the years.
The value and effectiveness of
the organization throughout the
years of its existence was pointed
out by President Roosevelt on the
occasion of its Silver Anniversary
this September. Said the Pres
ident in a letter:
“I commend the American Jun
ior Red Cross for so amply justi
fying the faith of those who were
its members twenty-five years
ago. I am confident that the fu
ture achievements of the organi
zation will be ever increased. The
needs of our nation at war are
great. The American Junior Red
Cross, because it has already
proved its ability, can be counted
on to assist greatly toward meet
ing these needs.’’
The Junior Red Cross fits well
into school and community life,
as nearly all of its activities are
group ones. Membership in ele
mentary grades are by class
l rooms and in high schools by
groups of one hundred and pupils
of any public, private or parochial
schools may join. As chairman of
the Junior Red Cross in Holt
County, I have appointed the fol
lowing persons as zone leaders in
their schools to take charge of
the Junior Red Cross campaign
and activities for the school year:
Mrs. W. J. McClurg, Inman;
Mrs. M. J. Benton, Ewing; Miss
Alice French, Page: Miss Theresa

ina, Atkinson. St. Joseph's Hall;
Sr. M. Natalina. Stuart, St. Bon
iface School; Mr. Dorlin Lock
man, O’Neill; Miss Ignetta John
son, Amelia.
I shall continue as leader for
all of the rural schools.
St. Mary’s Academy is already
enrolled 100% and the following
rural schools. The Inman school,
under the direction of Mrs. Mc
Clurg, have started making arti
cles for hospitals and the armed
forces.
