H5/ »—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE Retailers depending on mid dle and lower income groups should brace themselves; pre pare for the shock when proposed new income tax rates go into effect this fall. The burden falls on their customers. • • • Income lax increase on a mar ried man with two children and an income of $3000 to $5000 will be 20.5%, but on a $40,000 in come only 14%. The increase is lower as incomes go up. o o • Retailers should bear this in mind in planning fall inventories. If you sell yachts you probably won't see much change, If you sell beef, you will. 0 0 0 Even if prices go no higher, most families will have less to spend for essentials; little, if any, for luxuries. • o o The public statements of poli ticians are to the effect that ex cess purchasing power will be siphoned off. ooo Washington statisticians who follow the mounting cost of living say "What excess?" Proposed tax increases on business are Just as unrealistic. • o o And still politics go on as us ual. Congress plans to spend $44 million . . . $26 million for re packaging, $18 million for trans portation to give away food stocks already bought and stored to keep prices up. This stock includes: butter 192,000,000 pounds; cheese 80.000,000 pounds; dried milk 332.000.000 pounds; dried eggs 107 million pounds. Put it this way. If you have a wife and two children, an in come of $5,000. all the income taxes paid by you this year, and by 96,915 other families in your same circumstances, will Just pay for giving this food away to relief agencies. ooo One cynical observer in Wash ington last week remarked "We've advanced a long way from the old-fashioned socialist theories of taking from the 'haves’ to give to the 'have-nots’. ooo “Now we take from the 'have- nots' to give to the 'have-nots’.” ooo In fact, new business taxes will bear down heavy on small busi ness—will not be too far away from World War II peak. On huge outfits, such as a motor company heading for an unprec edented billion dollar profit this year, the new taxes will be just slightly more than half World War II peak. *oo The most plausible reason given for this discrepancy in Washing ton is that with November Just around the corner, no politician wants to offend the few big cam paign fund contributors. * • • As predicted in this column, there is a concerted drive in Washington to amend the pro« posed Defense Production Act of 1950 to suspend all anti-trust laws. «00 Commerce Secretary Sawyer is for this move. Attorney General Howard McGrath says the pur poses of the act can be accom plished without this. Next week this column will go into detail on this development. ©National Federation of Independent Bualneea THE COMMERCIAL BOOK STORE SAIÆM 141 N.

Tow it anywhere, truck it to a lot where the building regulations are not too tough, and start housekeeping like Americans used to do. What say?” She laughed She was sure I was only Joking. Well, likely I was But I know my point was sound. And is. Lumber is not the material that Is short in the building picture. The main cost factor of the house is not in lumber, it Is in the luxuries of modem family living in the U. S. A. that young folks demand. Don’t Borrow—Stibecribe Today!
