"JANUARY”
Whatever else you choose to say
about January — and you can say 1
plenty, if you please—it does bring
days that are lengthening instead of
diminishing. The sun will be in the
sky today about ten minutes longer
than it was last Sunday, and the span
will steadily increase until next
June. One of these fine winter days,
in fact; it may even be possible to
eat a reasonably late breakfast with
out benefit of artificial light. r
War time, of course, which has
pushed the hands of the clock ahead
and kept them there, has made this
winter’s dawns seem particularly
dark and often deary. The country
man is used to getting up in what
city folk consider the dead of night,
but even for him it is a bit wearing
to do the morning chores, eat break
fast and still have to start the day’s
work with a lantern in his hand. And
the commuters simply can’t reconcile
themselves to seeing the sun loaf
leisurely over the horizon while they j on eliminating the payment of taxes
THE NATIONAL SCENE
As Washington Sees It
Special to The Chronicle.
Washington, Jan. 12.—Although the
new congress, stimulated by its add
ed Republican strength ( is working
on dozens of new projects for im
proving the efficiency Of our war
program and o'f our wartime civilian
economy, it looks as though taxes
may be one of the first things to be!
given major consideration.
Many congressmen already have
expressed Jhe fear that, unless the
present tax collection plan is revised
before March 15, there will be many
people who will be unable to meet
their payments and will default. In
order to avoid this, they are urgng
the adoption of some pay-as-you-go
plan whereby at least part pf income
taxes should be deducted from sala
ries and wages by. the employer.
Congressmen who favor such a
plan point out that the machinery
for such a collection plan already is
set up and is being used for collec
tion of the new Victory tax as well
as for social security payments. Some
favor the Ruml plan—which is based

There’s a gain at the other end of
the day, but it’s neither particularly
noticeable nor of any perceptible use.
If the sun must set in mid afternoon,
what does it matter whether it’s at
4 o’clock or 5? It’s a cold and distant
sun, any way,, as impersonal as an
icicle. And winter evenings always
were long.
But January brings the turn. It
brings more snow, more ice, more
cold; but it also* brings more sun
light. It got its name, didn’t it, from
Janus, who specialized in new begin
on 1942 incomes in 1943 and substi
tuting a pay-as-you-go tax on 1943
incomes. They say the government
would collect just as much money, if
not more,, during 1943 by the adop
tion of this plan.
Others favor a different variation
of the pay-as-you-go plan whereby
takes on 1943 income would be col
lected each month during 1943 but,
instead of forgiving taxes on 1942 in
comes, they would be collected over
a period of years.
Just what version the new tax plan
will take, if one is adopted, is still a
very debatable subject, but it seems

The sole argument of substance for
retirement pay for teachers in South

So far as the argument has substance,
it shoulcj be met by increasing their
