Planning for Solvency
A new nd vigorous plan for the revision of oar postwar tax '
structure was recently announced in the nation's press. It is aptly
titled "A Tax Program for a Solvent America" and is, in the opinion
of the New York Times, "by far the most comprehensive and well
considered tax plan for the post war period put out thus far by any
group, it is worth any citizen s
live mutates to cpnsider the high
points of the plan and the philos
ophies that underlie its recom
mendations. The authors of the program are
the Committee on Postwar Tax
policy, headed by former Under
Secretary of the Treasury, Ros
well MagilL The words ''solvent
America" in the title mean that
!he government must begin to
ive within the income provided
for it by the people in order to
be able to pay its debts without
defanlt or repudiation! They hold
that an unbalanced budget is a
threat to our prosperity and prog
ess; and they believe that prud
ence in the expenditure of public
moneys is the key to lighter tax
burdens, and that our huge na
. tional debt should be decreased,
no matter what the pressures are
for the opposite course.
Heppner Gazette Times, January 24, 1946 5
Six Basic Changes
With those objectives always
in mind, the committee recom
mends the following six major
policies:
1. Repeal of the excess profits
tax because the war is over.
2. Equalize the corporation in
come taxes to the rates paid by
individuals because the produc
tion of (roods bv orivate enter
prise Is the keystone of prosperity
and it does not matter whether
it is an individual, a partnership
or a corporation which product
those goods. .
3. Reduce preseat UdWdwd
wartime surtax rates aae repeat
the 3 normal tax btcaaoa tide,
would remove the barriers to fat
dividual initiative and free 9 m3-
Hoa people in low incft i
from wartime taxes.
4. Retaia some of ear
taxes because they are a dhrerti-
uea and stable source of ,
meat revenue.
5. Moderate the doable
tion of dividends becauee the
present method is an anfaJr
penalty on venture capital.
6. Let the states, not the fed
eral government, get the income
from estate, gift and gasoline
taxes because increasing federal
usurpation of the revenue is a
grave threat to state control el
internal affairs.
The Postwar Goals
In presenting the case for
sound finance, as against deficit
financing, the businessmen who
propose these changes show their
concern with the postwar goals
of ample production, high level
employment and a generoaa flow;
of income to all members of the
community. How the community
responds will be reflected in the
action taken by Congress to ef
fect the right tax program for si
tree economy ia a torrent nation

When can I get a telephone
for my farm :
We'd like to say very soon.
But actually, it will take some time before we can
provide a farm telephone for everyone who wants one
. . . even though we are cutting down our waiting list
every day.
For there are many places where we have to install
complicated switchboards . . . some, even, where we
have to build entire new buildings. Our rate of progress
will depend on how rapidly out manufacturers can
supply the necessary equipment and materials.
Your local Telephone representative will be glad to
tell you what has to be done in your locality and give
you the latest information on about how long it will
take.
Meanwhile, you can be certain your farm telephone
is on the way and that we are doing everything possible
to hurry the day we bring it to you.
Noto to for mor-Hao owners: we'll be glad to advise
you on your telephone maintenance problems and
check your int trnmcco. Just call youx local TrAr phono
