Price Support For
Cottonseed Announced
A new support price of $55 per
ton for cottonseed to Texas farmers
was announced this week by the War
Food Administration through the
state AAA office.
The new price, which went into
effect August 1, and will continue
through July 31, 1944, is $6 per ton
over last year's minimum price for
basis grade seed, f. o. b., shipping
points.
Commenting on the program, AAA
officials pointed out there will be no
contracts 'wjSth processors on the
1943 crop. The price will be effectu-
ated through an offer by Commodity
Credit Corporation to purchase cot-
tonseed products from oil mill oper-
ators who agree to purchase cotton- j
seed in lots of not less than 10 tons
at the support price.
Since the majesty of Texas cotton j
produce^ will not be able to dispose |
of their seed in the minimum quanti- |
tfy, they are being oncouraged toi
pool seed cooperatively or accumu-
late seed in lots of 10 tons or more
for direct sale at oil mills in order to
receive the higher price.
According to present regulations,
the support price of $55 per ton,
f.o.b. shipping point, basis "U. S.
Standard grades," will apply in Tex-
as, Oklahoma and New Mexico, while
other cotton producing states will
receive $56 per ton on the same
basis.
AAA officials added that in areas
where oil mills have accepted the
offer and desire to purchase cotton-
seed at a "flat" or "as is" price,
these prices shall average not less
than the average price which would
have been paid if each lot of cotton-
seed had been purchased on a "U. S.
Standard Grades" basis.

A. message front the United States Treasury about
YOUR WARTIME TAX
r !
THE American people have accepted the highest tax bill in the
history of the country with splendid patriotism and cheerful-
ness. The Treasury Department of the United States feels that an
explanation is due them in turn—feels that they deserve to be
told why, when and how their tax dollars are vital to winning
this war and the peace that will follow.
i,
As a taxpayer, consider these facts:
Our government is currently spending 240 million dollars each
day, almost all of it on war, and this figure will incre^« materially
as the war continues. About a third of that amount is being raised
through taxes. Those tax dollars are as necessary for weapons
with which to defeat our enemies as are dollars raised through
the sale of WAR BONDS. Hence, when you pay taxes today
you are definitely and directly contributing to victory.
And, at the same time, your taxes actually help to maintain
your own purchasing power now—and prevent disaster to your
country after the war. Here's how:
Bullions of Dangerous Dollars
Every time your cost of living advances, you are paying a tax on
your income. If your cost of living should double, you would pay
a tax of 50% on your salary, wages or other income. But it would
be a tax that wouldn't benefit our fighting forces, our govern-
ment or anyone else—except Hitler and Hirohito.
Now—to prevent such a concealed tax on your income from
taking place isn't it good sense as well as sound patriotism to
pay your government taxes of 20% on part of your total income
more, if necessary
And your taxes do help prevent just such a price rise! How?
By taking part of the billions of dangerous dollars which otherwise
threaten your living standard and putting them to useful work, win-
ning the war. Those billions of dangerous dollars, you know, represent
the difference between the income the American people will receive this
year and the amount of civilian goods that will be made in the same
twelve months. If taxes were lower, prices would tend to rise, and
your real income would be reduced by just that much.
■> _ Keeping the America He Knew
There's another reason why your high taxes help your country in
wartime—"and really a much more important one to you. Your
tax money is helping to win the war now—but it's equally
essential to winning the peace and keeping the America that boy
knew before he went into the armed forces.
All the industrial power, all the inventive genius and productive
capacity of this country would not bring back a busy, prosperous
America that we know if a drastic deflation followed victory. And,
as surely as the sun that rises in the morning will set at night,
a deflation would follow an inflation brought about by failure to
tax ourselves realistically now.
So, next time that tax burden seems heavy to you—think
of these facts. Remember that your tax dollars are helping tc
pay for victory now—that they are in there fighting for yorn
living standard now—and that they are working to keep out
country's financial structure sound for that bey now in the
armed service, for all your family, and for you in the years of
peace to come.

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR TAX BILL
Q.
A.
Q.
A.
Q.
A.
Q.
L
How much of my federal tax payments is being spent on war
and how much on so-calhd "normal" expenditures?
About 96% of your tax payments axe currently going to pay for direct war
expenditures. Only one dollar in every twenty-two you pay, therefore, goes
for all other federal expenses, most of which are indirectly to aid the war effort.
How much of the total war bill is being paid currently out of
taxes?
A little over one-third.
Is this proportion higher or lower than in England and Canada?
Lower. Both Canada and Great Britain are paying approximately half of
their war expenses through taxation.
Is there any way other than taxes and war bonds by which
the government could finance our share of the war?
There is. The government could borrow from the commercial banks.
which would put even greater spending power in the hands of the people
—thus creating a basis for inflation.
Q. Is there any other advantage in financing as large a share
of the war bill as possible through taxes?
A. Yes—and a very real one to you, the taxpayer. All the bills for the cost
of the war must be paid sooner or later through taxation, but if paid cur-
rently, from taxes, there will be no interest charge to mount over the years
and provide an extra burden for you to carry.
Q. So far, so good. But don't you think taxation is unfair in the
way it distributes the burden .or all this?
/■- On the contrary, and we believe you will agree if you think it through,
that taxes are the fairest, most equitable way to pay for the war. That's
because Federal Income taxer are levied on ability to pay for something that
all of us need and must have — victory now, a sound America later.
