Rich Man's Tax The administration in Washington- President Roosevelt, Speaker Raj-burn, General Counsel Paul of the Treasury--is on record in favor of a pay-as-you-earn tar. It objected to the Ruml plan on the ground that if 1942 tax liabilities were "excused," rich men might profit from "windfalls." Now Treasury Secretary Morgenthnu says that the administration is 100 per rent bedind the Ways and Means committee tax measure. This is not a you-earn bill, and it is notoriously ji rich man's windfall. Mi-.

Ruml and the vast majority of Americans who favor his plan have accepted the administration a jr I against permitting- a few wealthy persons to benefit from reform of the taxing system. The Carlson bill, embodying the Ruml plan, provides against this possibility. The. Ways and Means monstrosity, on the other hand, invites those who have money to "come and get it." Yet the administration "is behind the committee bill 100 per cent." If the committee bill should become law the average taxpayer could do cither of two things- He could continue on a ycnr- bchind, always-in-debt basis--and most would do so, and we should liavu no pay- as-you-earn tax system. Or lie could out of one year's pay envelopes enougi'-i to pay the heaviest two years' taxes in American history.

Few would do that. How about the "rich man," the fellow with savings in the bank or a good sheaf of war bonds in the safe deposit box? He could withdraw the savings or sell the bonds (has Mr. Morgenthau considered that possibility?) and 6 per cent on his money by paying- up 1913 taxes before June 15. That is a better return than is available from war bonds or any other moderately safe investment. If the administration really is 100 per cent the committee bill, what becomes of its lip service to a pay-as-you- earn plan? How should we evaluate its talk-about opposing the Ruml plan out of consideration for the poor and out of dislike for giving any prosperous taxpayer a break? Why is the administration against the Ruml a Isn't it for purely political reasons--because alert Republicans were smart enough to climb first onto tho most popular tax bandwagon that has rolled down the pike in many a generation? Publicity Economies The Office of War I a i i.s proud that .42,317,000 copies of informational publications and press releases have been eliminated to save manpower, paper, printing, and mailing facilities.
