FDR’S BEWILDERMENT
In his last radio talk, the President said:
“I confess that I myself am sometimes be-
wildered by conflicting statements that I
see in the press. One day I read an ‘author-
itative’ statement that we shall win the war
this year, 1943—and the next day comes
another statement equally 'authoritative*
that the war will still be going on in 1949.”
The President could have given plenty of
additional examples of this confusion.
But it should be remembered that the
newspaper reporters do not make up these
conflicting statements. They merely do an
iionest reporting job of telling what those in
power in Washington have to say- It is dis-
couraging to the press to have to report one
day that gasoline rationing will be relaxed
and the next day that it will be tightened.
But it is the duty of the press to publish
both reports if both came from men who are
supposed to be in authority-
TAXES....... nightmare
Some people seem to be harboring the pleasant
illusion that all income tax problems are taken care
of through the payment of that 20 per cent which
is deducted from wages and salaries each week.
It would certainly simplify the work of out-
home bookkeeping departments if this were the
case, hut, unfortunately, that 20 per cent deduc-
tion is just the beginning of a series of frighten-
ing financial dealings which each of us must have
with Uncle Sam between now and next March 15.
To get our reports straight will even be a strain
on those who got A in arithmetic during their
schooldays For those who flunked arithmetic it
might be easier for them to resign themselves to
serving whatever jail sentence is required for the
filing of an improper return.
But, if you refuse to give up without a struggle,
you might like to continue reading this column
which gives a quick peep at what the internal rev-
enue department expects us to work out during
the next eight months.
SEPTEMBER 15.....report*
Until September 15 we can just coast along ns if '
nothing had happened. But on that day we must
file an estimate of what we thing our taxes will be
for the whole year of 1943.
1 suppose blanks will be provided for that pur-
pose. But whatever form is used for the esti-
mate, we will have to report these facts to the gov-
ernment at that time:
a. Our estimate of what our 1943 tax should be.
(If the income and credits are exactly the same
as last year, the estimate will be the same as last
year, plus 5 per cent for victory tax.)
b. A report on the total amount of tax we wiii
have paid by the end of the year. This will in-
clude the amount of victory tax paid up to the
first of July (when deductions for victory tax
stopped), the payments which were made in 1943
on 1942 incomes, and the amount which will have

Oh, yes—there’s another thing on March 15. If
your income was higher in 1942 than in 1943, you
must also pay a tax on the difference at that

there are dozens of exceptions, special cases, etc.,

other authorized tax levying bodies are do-
ing fine jobs in financing and holding down
expenses for the taxpayers but there is more
that might be accomplished in the taxpay-

couragement of the taxpayers themselves.
It has been suggested that the taxpayers of

their best interests. These times of cheap

there are many parallels between this sum-

ever, we must not be too sure of ourselves
and relax our support of the war effort on
any front.

Kiska will be attacked before
the short Arctic! summer wanes.
The Nazis may attempt to save
themselves by setting up a Com-
munistic State under the wing of
Moscow. Beating Japan will not
be an island-by-island fight along
the circumference of her holdings
—but a heart thrust at Tokyo.
Great peace-makers possess more
daring :.nd vision than war mak-
ers. The three thousand Allied
invasion ships moving on Sicily
is a lesson in logistics for Tokyo.
Heavy bombings indicate that we
shall attempt to retake Wake Is-
