Washington, Aug. 26. — Ending a short “seventh inning stretch” after having gone through the most mo mentous 12-month session in the his tory of the United States congress, senators and representatives here have again rolled up their sleeves to put through new world-shaking leg islation including the biggest tax bill America has ever seen and a new lend-lease measure to provide new billions to anti-Nazi forces. Following the president’s return to Bailey Proposes A Simple Return Wonts Government. To Toke Over Job of Making Out Reports. Washington, Aug. 23.—Senator Jo- s^ah W. Bailey, Democrat, North Carolina, proposed today that the government take over the job of fill ing out the small taxpayer’s annual income tax return. Bailey, a member of the senate finance committee, said he intended to propose this plan next wedc when the committee begins consideration of proposed amendments to the this city from his dramatic confer-J house-approved $3,236,700,000 reve- ence with Winston Churchill and hisinue measure. annoimcement of a three-cornered “Instead of sending the small tax meeting with the Russifms, there is little doubt that the majority in both houses of congress feel more strong ly than ever that Mr .Roosevelt holds the keys to our future activities and they stand ready to carry out his legislative requests. Since the presid^t’s return to the White House little epecific informa tion has been revealed about the conclusions which he reached with Mr. Churchill, but significance is be ing attached to his statement that we are no nearer war as a result of the meeting and to the fact that the now famous eight aims of Great Britain and the United States, as released by Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt, were peace aims rather than war aims. ^ For the past year men close to the income was less than $3,000 could examine the chart, find the tax for his income, and pay it. He would have the privilege of figuring his own tax, however, if he preferred. Under the treasury’s proposal, tax payers showing incomes of $3,000 or less would be permitted to make a blanket deduction Of 10 per cent for contributions and exempUons, if they so desire. Bailey maintained that his own system would jbe “preferable.” -He contended that it would take no more clerical work by the internal revenue bui'eau than is now required to check the returns of taxpayers who now fill them out thems^ves. payer a complicated return to fill out, 1 would send him a questionnaire,” Bailey said. “He could answer fomr- teen or fifteen questions about his in come, swear to the questionnaire, and return it. From that information the government could fill out his return, compute the tax, and send him a copy of -fee return and a notice of hls‘ tax.” Bailey, who was internal revenue collator for North Carolina from 1913' to 1921, said his experience at that time convinced him that the small taxpayer’s problems can and should be greatly simplified. The need, he added, would be par ticularly acute if the tax base is fur ther broadened by reducing fee ex emptions from fee present figures, $800 a ybar for single persons and president have argued oyer his views, $2,000 for married couples to $750 on whether we should send an expe- l and $1,500, respectively. Such a ditionary force to aid Britain, some | move, it is estimated, would bring in believing that he is eager to become, an additional 6,000,000 persons into an active ally of Britain and others' the federal revenue system who have feeling that he is still bending every i not been required to file returns, effort toward helping Britain win the The treasury itself has proposed a Dr. FeMer Snith Dr. Omicu S.

In controlling fee dis tribution of material, the Office of Production Management-has tried to feed both fee defense factories and the non-defense industries as long as possible, but in one line after another it has now become a question of slowing up defense production or putting non-defense industries out of business. One possible solution, which the OPM is now trying to work out, is to aid non-defense industries by find ing defense work for them to do and putting aside some of the govern ment buying regulations which wou)4 otherwise make it impossible for small businesses to accept govern ment contracts. It is hop^ that this 'plan will prevent widespread unem ployment.
