WAR TAXES STILL IN EFFECT
Congress should repeal the war-
time taxes that apply to various com-
modities, and • also to rail, bus ar.d
plan? tickets.
The roster of those who favor and
have lon-g-favcred repeal is large,
representative, and impressive. It in-
cludes labor unions, manufacturers,
retailers, consumer groups and econ-
omists. It was recently joined by Sec-
retary of Commerce Sawyer. The ar-
gument for repeal is based on two
facts.
First, these taxes were strictly
war-time, emergency measures. They
were designed to discourage produc-
tion of certain kinds of goods at a
time when the whole nation was
straining to 1 ve up to the needs of
tbe war effort. The revenue the taxes
raised was a secondary matter. The
war has been over for years yet the
taxes remain on the books.
Second, retailers, manufacturers
and others who know what is going
on, say these taxes definitely harm
the stile of affected items. For in-
stances, an additional 20 per cent
tacked cn top of the price of a fur
coat is enough to stop many people
from making the purchase. Employ-
ment is thus adversely affected. And
the volume of the retail trade, which
has so much to do with our prosper'
ity, is less than it would be other
wist?.
The iteme which are taxed should
certainly not be considered frivolous
luxuries in a nation which desires a
■high standard of living. Their wide-
spread ownership and use is one of
the things which distinguishes this
from meat other countries.
We wish to bike this method of
. xpre.-^ing our grateful and 'heartfelt
thanks to all our friends in this com-
munity for the wonderful acts of
kindness and words of condolence ai d
who ministered .to us at the tragic
kss of our beloved mother. May God
bk ss each of you.

STEP BY STEP
John T. Flynn, in his thought-
provoking book “The Road Ahead”
discusses various socialist aims in
the United States. In the course of it
he says: “Another projec* now under
heavy pressure by the Socialist Plan-
ners is socialized medicine. It is._ of
crurse, not called socialized medicine,
but health insurance. This is a plan
similar to the one now operating in
Britain under its socialist govern-
ment. Under it all employers and
their employees would be taxed at
the payroll window—for medical care.
The proponents of this scheme had
the effrontery to call it ‘free medical
car?.’ Of course H is not. It will be
paid for by taxes which will come cut
of everybody’s pocket. The system is
now -n trial in England. It is by
pun u *-**‘B ——• —-
ev'-ry standard of judgment a ghastly
failure.
“What the American musit under-
stand, however, is that while each of
hese proposals—Federal invasion of
banking. Federal invasion of power
and socialised medicine—is promoted
as if it were a single reform unrelat-
ed to all the others, the simple fact
is that each is intended bo liquidate
some sector of the private enterprise
system and expand the area of so-
cialism. When the whole program is
well advanced, we will be a socialized
people upon the British model.”
This is Socialism on a piecemeal
ba=is. Its proponents know that ths
American people would never swal-
low the bit’er pr gram under its right
name, so they ■are trying to slip it
over little by little under different
titles. Socialized medicine, whether
we call r government health insur-
ant or anything else, is one of the
big eteps.
