INDIVIDUAL taxpayer
GETS HIT AGAIN
'WASHINGTON. - Congressional
taxmakers entered an apparent gen-
tleman's agreement earlier In the
year that they wouIO,.soak the indi-
vidual income taxpayer no rftore un-
til h< had a chance to straighten
himself out on the j^o-called t'pay-as-
yau-gb”-^The deviee*'by which they
thalf-c overtly hiked his war faxes at
least 25 per-cent* Under the benevo-
lent guise of- letting him pay cur-
rent!# after 1945. •
Members of the house committee,
and also senate fli^giee, agreed the
InrilvlduaLjust could'nut stand more
during this transition period of dou-
ble taxation. Nothing was written
down, but public statements were
l”HS!by-many members to this ef-„
feet. ' ■;
Now, after nine months of search^
(TTg ftir new methods of taxation—
and failing to consider eeriously a
single "new method, not even voting
on a sales tax or a spending tax,
or trying to reach the special re-
isolated el a sk of Inflated war in-
comes—senate finance has submit-
ted a bill:
To bit the same old individual In-
come taxpayer and *1)0 one else,
again by Ibd stealthy method of al-
lowing' rates to remain the'same
while removing two important
emptions.

Householders, .moved by the red"
meat shortage,- are being converted
by the thousands into backyard
chicken fanciers. The chicken “popu-
lation” Jpcrease this year over last
—in rural areas 'alone—is about
million hgSJ. ^Kt hn all time high
the country I* above 500'million,
.census is taken on urban raised
chickens, "where the rate of increa*se
is greatest. '
Interest in chicken raising, deal-
ers say, is' now spurrefl by the in-
troduction and display of /small
ready-made houses in .retail stores.
As these •become easily procurable
in complete units ot prefabricated
for quick assembly, it is thought in-
terest ! will zoom higher. The de-
signs' now being shown range from
two-story compact types, about the
-size of a-piano box, to.large roomy
"ones big enough to double as hunt-
ers' cabins. .
Because-of the labor -shortage
TRUTTTfflTaTTbfflntffbWfflk 'iTiany-ltliidT'
of building material, the public is
finding the ready - made chicken
house most easily, obtainable. The
commercial fabricator on the other
hand may use various kinds of sub-
stitute material advantageously or
remnants and knotty pieces of lum-
ber.

How did they dare do it? Chiefly
because a thoughtlessly false, if not,
intentionally deceptive, propaganda
haf been built up before the public.
Taxmakers in their giddiness or,
frustration have come to believe
their own words—“The country can
stand more taxes,” “People have
money to burn,” “Dangef of infla-

IT’S A-REAL STRUGGLE
' All yoiuhcaif are expert arguments
about inflation with generalized over-
all national figures about swollen in-
comes, nothing about this $5,000 man
trying to buy bonds, pay with-
holding, terrific prices, and rafSe a
family on about half or less of what
he earns.
No' one, absolutely no one, takes
' the part of the Individual taxpayer.
The way the propaganda has been
set' up, it is considered unpopular,
even remotely unpatriotic to do so.

MIRACLE NEEDED
TO WIN ELECTION IN ’44
Mr. Roosevelt, the miracle man
of politics,-!* now supposed to ba
whipping up another one for 1944.
His tactics abroad confirm the ex-
pectation within Democratic ra'nks
that he will agpiq completely re-
organize his lines for the coming*
electldh. Certainly a miracle is de-
manded by the current condition of
the Democratic party and t^e
frayed, worn strategems of the
New Deal. ' —
His actions suggest he if working
toward two main developments, an
agreement with Russia (not as a
unified permanent American foreign
policy, but as a personal Roosevelt
venture, engineered by him alone
and to be led by him'alone)—and
secondly, a dire.ct campaign for the
soldier vote to-bring the bulk o'f these
decisive 10 million absentee ballots,
or .a great majority Of them, into
the administration camp, regardless
of what congress is now doinjf to
prevent it. . ,-*/
His leaders are working ardently
to get through his $300 soldier de-
mobilization pay bill.
Amid- such soldier heraldry. In
Congress, Mr. Roosevelt has con-
spicuously spent as much, or more
three "departmentalized”, nests, re-
jnova'hle roosts, and has compart-
ments for charcoal, grit,.water and
mash. The second story front is of
glass, while the slanting top is built
of sliding slat panels of wood. Above
this Is a seepnd top which may be
lifted to admit sunlfght. By the
lowering of thlf top-lid and the rais-
ing of the ramp,drafts and cold are
excluded.
The larger house is 8 by 12 feet,
overall height 7 feet 1 inch; In front
6 feet 7 inches, in Tear ‘56 inches.
Of the prefabricated type, it edmes
in eight sections. Main door is 6
feet high by 22 inches and is fitted
with hinges and , hasp for lock.
Equipped" with hardwood floors,
ventilators and sliding door fdr
chicken outlet, the house has triple
windows, 4 lights each, 9 inches by
12 in size. Side walls are made of
V4-inch. Nu-wood, insulated sheeting,
coated with asphalt inside arid out.
The roof is mad^pf tt^inch Gypsum
hoard ah««tmg. a>vered with 55-
pound rolled^ roofing.
Small Farm Engines
Get Preference Rating
Farm rationing. committaes of
county ^war boards again have au-
thority'to ass'ign preference ratlrigs
for delivery of small engines needed
in easential food production.
This will apply to about 37,000 air''
and liquid-cooled internal combus-
tion engines of 20 horsepower and
under, whifch wijl be manufactured
during the current year. No state
or county quotas will be established
for the distribution of thesfe engines,
sLnpe the production is estimated to
be sufficient to meet all essential
needs.
The only distribution control will
be at the county level,- where ciunty
farm rationing committees will is-
sue preference rating certificates to
farmers or. operators of farm ma-
chinery for hire. The certificates
will bear a preference rating of
AA-2, the highest which can be giv-
en a civilian product.
