Congressman. 4th D is tric t
After many months of discus
sion, the House Ways and Means
Committee produced a tax bill.
It reduces a number of the more
irritating "war excise" taxes To
make up for revenue thus elim
inated, the committee provided
for some additional taxation, the
heavy burden of which will fall
on l a r g e corporate incomes
There is little doubt that the bill
will pass both House and Sen
ate and be signed by the Presi
dent. It should be noted that
this tax bill does not actually
reduce or eliminate t a x e s at
will raise substantially the same
amount of money as is being
levied now. The new bill shifts
the places from which tax col
lections are made and it will
seem like a mild relief But the
people, the consumers, w ill con
tinue to pay the taxes — indi
rectly.
WANTED: A LITTLE FEAR—
A veteran air line pilot who had broken all records
for safe flying was asked how he did it. He replied that
he had never taken off without a little fear in his heart.
Fear is a distasteful word to most Americans. It
connotes cowardice. Our forefathers did not win a wil
derness by being afraid, yet the early settlers took no
foolish chances. They built stockades for protection,
and they kept their powder dry. That is what the air
line pilot meant when he confessed fear. Not timidity.
His was intelligent fear.
This weekend millions of Americans will com
memorate the birth of this nation’s independence. It
would be well to approach the occasion with intelligent
