ROY MILLER OF CORPUS
CHRISTI, GOES TO
WASHINGTON
The South Tex&) Chamber of Com
merer has designated Roy Miller of
Corpus Christi, the organisation’s
national legislative counsel, to re-
Rresent it at Washington meetings
of the Conference of American
Small Business Organizations Sept.
24th.
.In asking this regional chamber
to send a representative, Fred A.
Virkus, chairman of the small busi
ness group, said the Sept. 24 Me-
lons would feature meetings with
members of the Senate special com-
Secretary Morgenthau today an-
nounced changes in the terms of the
Treasury Tax Savings Notes, which
have been on sale since August 1,
1941, for the convenience of tax-
payers and which are receivable at
par and accrued interest in payment
of Federal income, estate, and gift
taxes.
The changes are effective tn new
Treasury Notes of Tax Series A-
1946 and Tax Series C-1945, which
will be offered for sale beginning
September 14, although' the new
notes will not be ready for delivery
before the latter part of the month.
The notes of Tax Series A-1944 and
Tax Series B-1944, which have been
available since January 1, 1942,
were withdrawn from sale at the
close of business Septmbeer 12,
1942.
The new notes of Tax Series C
are adaptable for dual purposes: (1)
for the accumulation of tax reMTves
and (2) for the temporary or short
term investment of cash balances
which are at present idle. This new
series of Treasury Notes, the Secret
ary said, will furnish a security
well adapted to corporations and
other investors for the mobilization
of their idle funds for the War pro-
gram. The new terms provide great
er flexibility, and, through provision
for cash redemption with interest,
permit holders of Tax Series C notes
to realize on the notes without loss
of interest.
Members of the Victory Fund
Committees in the twelve Federal
Reserve Districts, with a trained
securities sales personnel, will par-
ticipate actively in the sale of the
newTax Savings Notes. Each Federal
Reserve District Committee is head-
ed by the President of the Federal
Reserve Bank of the District. Mem-
bers of Victory Fund Committees,
as well as bankers and securities
salesmen generally, will have com-
plete information end application
forms and will assist taxpayers and
other investors desiring to purchase
these notes.
The notes of Tax Series A-194g,
like those of prior Series A notes,
are intended primarily for the small
er taxpayer. The new notes will
be dated September 1, 1942, and
will mature September 1, 1946,
thus providing a maturity of three
rather tran two years from issue
date. The limitation on the principal
amount that may bp presented on
account of any one taxpayer’s
liability for each class of taxes
(income, estate or gift) for each
taxable period has been raised from
$1,200 to $6,000. The new limita-
tion will also apply to prior Tax
Series A-1943 and Ai-1944, or to
any combination of the three series
In other re.pects the terms of notes
of Tax Series A-1945 remain the
same as those of Arl944. Interest
will accrue (from September 1942)
at the rat% of 16 cents per annum.
The notes will be issued at par and
accrued interest. If not presented in
payment of taxes, the notes will he
redeemed at the purchase price
only, either at or before maturity,
without advance notice. The notes
will be available in the denominations
of $26. $60, $100, $500. $1,000 arid
$6,000.
The new note? of Tax Series C
will be dated as of the first day of
the month in which purchased, will
mature three years therafter, and
they will be issued at par. Interest
on the note? will accrue each month
from month of issue, on a graduated
scale, the equivalent yield if held to
maturity being approximately 1.07
percent per annum.

Somewhere in Australia
August 16, 1942
Dear Mr. McGee
• No doubt you have received many
letters from home boys overseas.
This is not meant to be a literary
gem but just an honest effort of ap-
preciation from a Jim Hogg County
boy.
'Here in Australia any news that
comes from home is indeed a source
of great pleasure. One of the hap-
piest occurrences here are the now
far between ’’Mail Calls”.The paper
which you so kindly send me is like
an oasis in a desert. No words can
express the feeling that only familiar
names can give; especially when one
is so far away from his home and
haunts. Therefore let me thank you
again for the newspaper, and hope
I continue to receive it as long at I
am away from the shores of the
U. S. A.
People here in Australia have
much the same make-up as folks
back home. They are for the most
part, just plain folks and don’t
carry any airs. Have treated the
American soldiers so grandly that
we feel akin to them.
I have already, in the course of
duty, covered more of Australia
than 75% of the natives, naturally,
due to censorship regulations, I can’t
mention cities or towns.
I close my letter with regards to
everyone at home, to the Enterprise
personnel and friends.
Sincerely,
Tech’n. Sgt. Gilberto C. Olivares
Louisiana,
September 3, 1942.
Mr. McGee
I have been trying for several
days to write you, but until now have
not had the opportunity. My mother
wrote me a few days ago and in-
formed me that you were going to
send me the Enterprise. I have ao
far received two copies and believe
me they have sure brought me hap-
piness. I want to thank you ft>r
your kindness and thoughtfulness.
Mr. McGee I want to say this, I
have been in the army quite awhile
now and I now believe that the Army
makes a man of you.
I like it very much, and I believe
that every man that is to come in,
will get to like it very much the
same. In the same camp where I am
stationed there are two more boys
well known to you. Orlando Ramirez
and Tito Munoz. Those are the only
ones I know that are in the same
Camp with me.
Well Mr. IMcGee I am not-much
of a writer so will close and I want
to thank you again for the paper.
Tell Mrs. McGee ‘Hellow’ for me,
I believe she may remember me she
used to be my teacher at school.
Yours truly,
Sgt. Oscar Hopkins.

jby Joe Marsh
Will Frost dropped over last eve-
ning and we had s glass of beer on
the back porch. 1 could see Will
was bustin’ to say something...
“Well," he finally remarks, hold-
ing up his glass to the light of the
settin’ sun, "I paid my income tax
today—third installment.”
There was a note of pride inWill’s
voice that some folks might have
found nmnaing—if they didn’t
know Will...
Wmsn’t amusing to me though. I
happen to know this is the first
year Will’s filed an income tax re-
turn, and I suspect the payment
wasn’t very big ... probably in the
general neighborhood of $3.26. But
I know how it made him feel...
Made him feel good ... because
he was doing his part as an AmAi-
ean citizen ... holding up his end.
Made him feel proud... to mail
that money direct to Uncle Sam—
for things that’s needed to win this
war with.
That’a the way Will would feel
about bein’ able to pay income
taxes ... kind of citizen he is.
And speakin’ of taxes...I read
the other day that during the nine
years since beer came back, beer
taxes have brought in more than
two and s half billion dollars to
the government.
• * • i
Then it went on to say that the
beer industry provides more than
a million dollars a day in taxes.
Some of that’sfederal.some’sstate,
and some’s local. But any way you
describe it, it’s a lot of money.
Right here in Texas,for instance,
the taxes from beer last year alone
were enough to pay for thirty-two
4-engine bombers, one hundred
and fourteen fighter airplanes, or
1*85 anti-aircraft guns.
(And it wasn’t so long ago a lot
of that money was going into pock-
ets of bootleggers and gangsters.)
» • * *
“There," I thought to myself
when I saw Will holding hia glass
up to the light, “there are two
Americans that pay their way...
Will Froat and beer."
