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.

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,

that, without some unexpected inci

The “short of war” tag on our
pledges of aid have been less appar

people still are thinking in terms of
“short of war” and no shooting is ex

ficut problem. 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
