American Consumers Begin Digging Up
To Meet Nation's Heaviest Tax Bill
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (AP)
The heaviest taxes in American
history double those of the
World war era took their first
big handful of cash from the pub
lic's pocketbook today, and it was
only tho beginning.
The new excise levies which be
came effective at midnight gave
consumers their initial if incom
plete idea of what the recently
passed defense revenue tax bill
is going to mean in dollars and
cents.
Although the treasury depart
ment is counting on the excise
taxes for the pretty penny of
$3,000,000 a day, they represent
only a small part of the whole
revenue program which is expect
ed to raise about $13,000,000,000
a year.
Yet to come is the day of reck
oning on the new income ana
excess profits taxes, already in
effect and applying to 1941 re
turns. These levies are of the
delayed action variety, with the
payoff to. Uncle Sam deferred
until next March 15.
The new order of taxes con
trasted with the supposedly bur
densome levies of the World war
era, which yielded only $6,694,000,
000 in their banner year. How
ever, the nation now has about
thirty million more inhabitants
to share the burden.
Incomes Hit Harder
In 1918, income tax exemptions
were $2,000 for a family head and
$1,000 for a single person. The
new figures are $1,500 and 575U.
However, in 1918 dependents
were S200 credits ana now are
$400 apiece. The tax rates in
both cases range up to 77 per
cent, but the new law sets heavi
er rates In the lower and medium
brackets than the 1918 statute.
The corporation income tax in
1918 was 6 per cent, but now is
21 to 31 per cent.
The excess profits tax on cor
porations has been upped from
a range of 8 to 60 per cent to a
bracket of 35 to 60 per cent.
Estates were taxed then at 2
to 25 per cent and now are 3 to
Livestock Show To

The Roseburg booth for the Pa

show, to be held in Portland Oc

Harry Pinniger, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, said to
day. Mr. Pinniger and Robert Gile
will leave tomorrow morning
with a truckload of the agricul
tural exhibits for Salem, where
they will pick up the booth,
which was used at the State
fair, and continue on to Portland.
The exhibit this year will be
the most outstanding that Rose
burg will have ever entered in
the show, Mr. Pinniger said. The
large Umpqua Chief will be the
background of the exhibit, which
will feature agricultural products
of the valley. A noted addition to
the exhibit this year will be the

the Umpqua valley painted by
Mrs. William Magness.
Members of the committee in
charge of the exhibits, besides
Pinniger and Gile, are Paul

U. S.-British Pool Must

Navy Secretary Declares
i.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1 (AP)
' Secretary of Navy Knox de
clared today that once the Rome.
Berlin-Tokyo axis has been . de
feated, the United States and
Great Britain must pool their
forces "to stop new aggression
. ; . at its beginnings" in the
jost-war world. .
The United States, Gald Knox,
''must provide both the major
power and the dominant leader
ship" for the task.
The navy chief outlined his
views on the nation's future in
ternational role In a speech pre
pared for the annual convention
of the American Bar association.
Repeatedly he emphasized
American Insistence on freedom
of the seas "it is for this we
have fought two wars and now,
for a third time, have declared
we shall insist upon at whatever
cost come what may."
Should war come, he said, "far
better a distant war, than one at
home.
"If we must fight, and mark
this well, there will not be for
many years to come a time when
we may not have to fight, men
with modern weapons what they
are, let us determine that we will
fight elsewhere than on our own
soil."
He dwelt on the advantages
now accruing to the United States
and Britain because of the com
bined control of the seas by their
two fleets, and predicted: "Event
ually we shall lock nazl Germany
up In an iron ring, and within
that ring of seapower she shall
perish."
Appropos of the American
navy's operations, he reported
"We are already sweeping the
German pirates from the North
Atlantic, and bringing to England
the products of the arsenal we
have set up here.
That statement aroused con
lecture whether the secretary
had positive evidence that the
navy's new shoot-on slght policy
was clearing raiders out of the

Owen, who said western Wash'

planes.
The exercises will provide tests
for observation posts, which will
be manned by civil reserves and
located in each six square miles
throughout the area. At least
three planes a day will fly over
each observation post.
The maneuvers also will give
tests for air raid precautions,
which prepares the civilian pop
ulation for defense against raids.
The praetlep will pnrt with an
all-out attack on Portland and
other industrial areas during the
