ty feels that the new tax bill which
is unprecedented in severity, comes
pretty blose to the limit. On top of
that, it is generally believed that
the people will balk and yell for
relief if taxes go much higher.
ales Of War Bonds have been ex-
cellent, but they haven’t closed
the so-called inflation gap.” There-
fore, the - argument goes, forced
savings constitute the answer. In
'England the forced savings plan
seems to have worked .reasonably
well.' Under it,, tax Fates are
hiked to the hilt—but part
of what the Englishman pays
will be returned to him after the
war. 1 In other words, he simply
builds up a credit with the Gov-
arnment, which Will be rebated once
the guns stop firing. It is likely
that if and when forced savings
is adopted here; we will follow the
English plan in eMentials. 1
There are other possible me-
thods. For example, /Congress
could pass a law making it obliga-
tory for everyone to put ten per
cent of his savings in War Bonds.
Then, to further encourage savings,
deductions would be allowed for
private savings in making income
tax returns: Whatever method is
finally decided on, the main point
will be to take money out of the
channels of trade—to keep it'from
purchasing goods. The less the
consumer buys, in other words, the
more we will have for war pur-
serving the ri;
There is still another argument and all bids ofl

• OUT OF TUNE .
Testifying befor a joint Con-
gressional committee in favoring
a proposed bill which would result
in the socialization of all the pri-
vately-owned electric power re-
sources in the Pacifie Northwest,
the Secretary of the Interior said:
"Only the government is strong
enough to cope with these monopo-
listic enterprises. The government
is in the driver’s seat now. You
can call it socialism if you want
to."’
Commenting on that, one news-
paper said editorially: “Would that
.indicate that the government may
alao atteinp(. to absorb the tele-’
phone and telegraph companies and
the railroads? And if; so, what
assurance have we that; th pro-
cess of governmental absorption
would end in these larger brack-
ets? . " ,> .0
