Special To The Chronicle. Washington, Feb. 23.—Taxes, ra tioning and the various phases of the labor-manpower situation are, in that order, the three things con gressmen are hearing most about from their “bosses’’ back in the home town. Although the conduct of the war itself is undoubtedly the subject of greatest interest 'to the people of this country, congressmen tell this correspondent that they hear from plan of forgiving 1942 taxes and go ing immediately to a pay-as-you-go plan—even though the amount to be collected is increased. The present attitude of the com mittee working on a new revenue act, however, indicates that, al though a pay-as-you-go plan will be enacted, only the low income groups will be excused from paying 1942 taxes. Those earning higher incomes will probably be required to pay some tax on 1942 incomes plus at least 20 per Cent on present income. It is hoped that this tax question will be worked out by April. Mean while, all of us must file a return and at least make a quarterly payment under thf present act, by March 15.
