Celebrate Prospect Of Tax
Quite naturally, moat of us think of the
tax problem primarily in connection with
the federal government. Washington, DC,
collects most of our tax money today. And
Washington has been the center from
which most of the revelations of waste, in-
competence and graft have come. On the
brighter side, the hopes of tens of millions
of people are pinned on the new federal
'administration’s pledged efforts to wring
the water out of govemmeht financing, to
balance the budget, and eventually reduce
taxes.
But the taxpayers will make a serious
mistake if they focus their attention on the
federal establishment to the exclusion of all
else. State and local governments are big
tax collectors too—and they are asking for
more, not less, money.
U.S. News & World Report recently dealt
with this problem in an admirably written
and documented "special report” to its
readers. It began on this note: "Don’t' start
celebrating the prospect of a tax cut yet.
State and local taxes are going up, not
down. License fees, sales taxes, other levies
are on the increase. For many, they can
wipe out any cut in federal income taxes.”
Since 1945, U.S. News says, the income
of local government has nearly doubled—it
jumped from $13,200,000,000 in 1946 to
$24,4400,000,000 in 1952. That is certainly
a handsome increase—but spending outran
it, going from $11,200,000,600 to $26,000,-
000,000. Last year, in other words, local
government incurred a deficit of $1,500,000.
Deficits nearly as large have been piled up
in other postwar years. And local govern-
ment is facing demands for tremendous
future projects. To take but two examples,
some estimates say that $30 billion should
be spent on the major highways alone, and
$10 billion on schools.
The result, as U.S. News puts it, is that
"tax gatherers in states and cities ... are
all poised to pounce as soon as the federal
government relaxes its grip.”
The sources of local government revenue
are many and diverae.-To.day 29 states have
individual income taxes. So do 24 cities
where, before World War II, Philadelphia
alone had this dubious distinction. Several
states have gross-income or gross-receipts
taxes on business. Practically all cities, of
course, impose license-taxes on business,
and in 196 of the cities these taxes are
based on gross receipts.
Thirty-two states tax retail sales, usu-
ally excepting food and medicines. All the
states have a gasoline tax which is paid by
the motorist. And, finally, there is that old
stand-by, the property tax. This is tending
to go up too—either directly, through in-
higher assessments °r lndir*J

MY NEW YORK

Kirk, a Syracuir, N. Y., girl who, the report la, U

said "Now I feel home, for the first time." Well.
Later *he lived here as a model and a Lord and

Square and argue about Thomas Wolfe. Me, too.
A hundred years ago.
That, of course, is catastrophic, sven for a stx-
fpoter.
ITS ALWAYS startling to meet a midget and dis-
cover how well-adjusted he is to being a half-pint
I bad a long talk yesterday with Elsie Schultt, who
tours the country as one-third of an act called
Dandy, Handy and Candy—three midgets in bear
costumes, presented by a Cereal company at various
supermarkets. Mrs. Schultz-her husband Is in
the act—is a Woodside, L I., housewife who lives
in a world of belts and waists and has raised two
normal-sized daughter* without developing any ap-
parent complexes.
"Only thing I envy about big people," she said,
"i* their clothes. We usually have to have ours
made, although sometimes we can wear children’s
coats. However, all in all, I”d rather be the size
I am."
Elsie has her stove, sink and cupboards all cut
down to size and even has the house full of small
chairs, with here and there a big one for her
daughters. During the war, her husband Ray worked
in a Newark airolane factory, actually wriggling
into wings of bombers to paint their insides. .
"There’s no race of midgets, you know," Elsie
said. "Gland disturbances make us this way." About
the only occupational hazard of being pint-sized,
she added, is getting caught in a subway rush.
IT WAS LANNY ROSS, the tenor, who tipped us
off to one of New York’s oddest services—Ac-
companist*, Unlimited. He was hunting for "local
talent" to accompany him In assorted towns and
he found Norma Waldon and Janet Lauren, a
couple of pretties, in a tiny midtowsi office filled
with a map of the United States stuck full of
colored pins.
Each pin, it developed, represented an available
pianist In such alien lands as Alabama, Omaha,
etc. Eleanor Steber and Laurltz Melchoir also use
Accompanists, Unlimited, which is a testimonial
to two young dolls who hit upon the old New York
success gimmick—furnishing a service or a product
that, somehow, nobody ever thought of before.

LOOKING AT LIFE
\
By Erich Brandeis
IT'S AMAZING what the human brain can do!
A human brain has just invented a mechanical
brain which can make a monkey out of even It’s
Inventor’s brain and, with a few improvements, may
put it completely out of business.
I was. just getting ready to tell you all about
this marvelous invention when along comes Dr.
Einstein with something even more intricate and
amazing.
The whole thing may prove something awful. It
Is supposed to explain the entire universe. His
theory of relativity eventually led to the atomic
bomb.
So please be careful how you handle his new
formula!
DR. EINSTEIN'”S discovery is so wonderful that
he does not understand It himself and hopes that
it means What he THINKS it does.
It is an entirely new formula.
Here it is In brief: Gik.s=0.4- Rik=0 GI=0 —
Rik I + Rlik«=0.
The formula should, of course, be written In
Greek letters, but since I have no Greek letters on
my typewriter, I am giving it to you in (plain?)
English.
Please don’t go fooling around with th.s formula.
Heaven only knows what might happen to you.
The thing is just LOADED with dynamite. Well,
not exactly dynamite, but with plutonium, uranium,
protons, electrons, neutrons and a* little baking
powder. Stir well and serve.
The newspaperman, who wrote up the story in
one of the New York newspapers, went into
ecstasies about Einstein’s latest discovery.
“What new* and totally unexpected results the
solutions of Dr. Einstein's new equations might
uo*!" he writes.
IN THE LIGHT of the above, the other "invention
seems rather unimportant, although it may come in
very handy on Income Tax Day. I understand you

THIS STORY about his sister, sent in by Joe C.
Montgomery of Mobile, Alabama, reminds us that
there is a great deal of personal satisfaction in
helping others to be a success.
Mrs. Louise Williamson, after her husband's death
and her son’s marriage, was forced at the age of
60 to make her own way.
Against the better judgement of her friends and
relatives, she built a small candy shop In her front
yard on Highway 80 in Edwards, Mississippi, and
started operation two years ago.
Even though she began to feel uneasy on her
first day of business, she succeeded in sblling her
entire stock of home made candy before noon! Now
her sister-in-law makes part of her supply and they
divide the profits from this share.
The profits from the little shop more than tripled
since it was opened two years ago.
In addition to running her own business, Mrs.
Williamson finds a lot of satisfaction in helping
other women get started in their own businesses.
A cousin is now running a pastry shop and a
stranger who came for advice has started an ice
cream shop.
M'uch of Mrs. Willamson’s happiness is in helping
as many people as she can with the knowledge that
she has learned for herself.
