MSI MMS General Sales Tax . *• <» Is Proposed Again Washington, Oct. 5.—The Treas ury-scorned federal sales tax was proposed anew to Congress today while the administration rallied ar guments for its $10,500,000,000 new tax program, all but dead before it was a day old. The New York Board of Taade urged a 10 per cent sales tax upon the House Ways and Means com mittee which gave the Treasury’s program a chilly reception when it was presented yesterday by Secre tary Morgenthau. Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson, meanwhile, delayed until tomorrow his appearance ait the committees tax hearing, apparently to gather additional ammunition in support of the administration’s posi tion that the $10^00,000,000 tax bill —mostly in income and excise taxes —is needed to finance the war and stave qff ipflation. Some committee sentiment for a sales tax appeared in the questions members shot ait M. Y. Seidman, chairman of the board of trade’s tax committee, as he presented the pro posal. Two lawmakers—Sen. Byrd (D-Va.) and Rep. Taber (R-NY)— have advocated a sales tax in public statements but Randolph Paul, a Treasury tax expert, opposed it yes terday as more trouble than it’s worth. Seidman said a 10 per cent sales tax,Would bring in about $6,000,000,- 000 revenue a year “as painlessly as any tax can be collected.” v He pro posed to couple with it a tax incen tive plan for bond buying as a means of siphoning off excess earnings which he described as an “ever increasing stimulant to inflation.” “Don’t you think most opposi tion to a sales tax comes from a fear that the government — once it learns how easy it is—will want to continue that form of taxation?” asked Rep..Robertson (D-Va), who indicated considerable sympathy for a sales tax during the committee hearings. “That is possible,” Seidman re- ley, son of Rev. and Mrs. W. A. Tinsley, is directing the music. The pastor states that the people of the community are showing a great inter est in the revival. Plans are being made to have a quartet fj-om Anderson to give special music on Sunday evening. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. Homemakers Club The regular meeting of the Home makers club planned for Tuesday evening has been postponed and will .^e held Tuesday evening, October 12, at 7:30 at the Scout cabin. plied. “Then Congress should limit a sales tax to the duration of the war?” “Yes,” agreed Seidman. “That is very important.” Chairman Doughton—who termed the administration’s tax program “ambitious,” end in parts “inde fensible”—asked Seidman what he thought of it. “It is my personal opinion,” the witness replied, "that the American people with incomes of $3,000 to $4,000 won’t stand anything like a 40 per cent income tax.” To Hasten Victory No American wants this war to go .one minute beyond the time wo can bring it to a vie- tortons end. To hasten that victory—to save possibly the lives, of millions Of our boys m oar far flnng fronts—It is imperative that every Ameri can do his part in the Second War Loan. There is an in vestment to fit every parse. The meet yea can do is little enough compared with the sac rifice edfered by oar boys in servieo. They give their lives -yen lend year money. ' HOUSE AND HOME By MARY K. PAGUE Now that it isn’t so easy to make replacements in furniture and house hold furnishings we all have to take better care of these things. There are many simple ways we can lengthen furniture life but the first precept is to keep it clean. Daily dusting of wood surfaces seems like a mere matter of good housekeeping. Clean, soft dust cloths brings up the luster of the wood as they dust and the regular rubbing does much to preserve the finish. Occasionally furniture may need extra cleaning by washing. Wring a soft cloth out of lukewarm water and dip in soap jelly made with mild soap. Rub over wood to remove dirt and finger prints. Then wipe clean with another cloth dampened in clean lukewarm water. Dry and polish in direction of grain of wood. . Lemon' f il is a splendid furniture polish, although there are many ex cellent prepared furniture polishes available. After thorough cleaning an appli- cattion of furniture wax will protect and renew the finish. Follow the di rections supplied by the manufac turer of the particular wax you are using. Waxing makes a hard surface that will resist finger marks and pre vent many a scratch. Certain precautions will prevent scarring of table tops and save the work of removing stains and white WE PAY CASH For Good USED CARS TIMMERMAN MOTOR CO. Carolina Service Station CLINTON, S. C.
