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.

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.

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
