Washington. 1>. C. r &ept. 2ft —
(NWNB) —AlChough the ftew ses
sion of congress faces many gi
gantic tasks, so far congressmen
have shown more interest in re
vising taxes than in any other
one subject. This undoubtedly
results from the interest in this
subject shown by * the "home
folks,” who are said to have com
plained about the tax set-up ev
ery time they got the ear of a
congressman during the congres
sional recess.
At the time congressmen were
preparing to return t<p Washing
ton and making last-minute
checkups of the senthnente ef
their constituents, the confetitu-
' ents.werfe busy trying to figure
out the tax report which they
â– were supposed to file by Septem
ber 15. It was therefore, the
subject uppermost in the minds
of most people during those last
few days of having a congressman
on the home-grounds. Therefore,
when the congressmen returned
to Washington they were full of
that subject and immediately
urged their friends on the house
and senate finance committees to
hurry up and simplify the tax
program.
Consequently, before v congress
had been in session a week, Sena
tor George, head of the senate
finance committee, and Repre
sentative Doughtoa^f head of the
house finance 'idSpimittee, went
to work on - planning simplifica
tions |md asked the treasury > to
help, ifrhat will result is still
uncertain, but one almost sure
qhange wfll be the combining of
-Che regular tax with the "Victory
ti*. ' ./ ..
Although the Treasury seems to
•agree that ktmpUfication is in or
der, it is mere interested in the
passaged of additional taxation.
The President has asked for e-
nou^b additional taxes to bring
in an extra 12 billion dollars next
year, bat statements by Senator
George and .Representative Dough-
ton make it seem unlikely that
: taxes wifi 1 be raised to that ex
tent—an increase of almost 33
per cent jn the total amount of
revenue now obtained through all
forms of taxation. Mr. George
predicts that five billion more is
about as much as congress will
agree to raise through additional
taxes. It also seems unlikely that
new taxes will be enacted before
the end of this year, although
they will’ be expected to apply to
next year’s income. f
Some-plSan for mandatory pur
chase of war bonds is still in the
wind, but the success of the
Third War Loan drive has made
the treasury cool to any forced
savings plan. So long as it finds
it can. get such record results
through voluntary drives it will
be hesitant to recommend any
mandatory plan.
Congressmen from the farm
areas are putting on pressure to
get additional help for the farm
ers—either in the form of man
power and. machinery or in .
form of subsidies. The desires of
many farmed as weH as their
representatives, were expressed by
James G. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, who
asked for a billion dollars “to step
up war food production by farm
families who, through no fau}t of
their own arid contrary to their
wishes and patriotic desires, are
now producing far below their po
tential maximum capacity.’
Many war industries also are
compfetihing that they cannot give
maximum production unless some'
McCormick County’s
War Bond Purchases
Now $135,000.00
McCormick County, whose quota
in the third War Loan Drive was
set at $117,500.00, has already
bought $135;000.00 and more re
ports are coming in every day.
County Chairman G. J. Sanders
received the / following message
from Christie Benet, State Chair
man this week: “Genuine congrat
ulations to McCormick County
and to you and your workers.
What you have done will help in
other counties. Personally and
officially I thank you.”
Mr. Sanders is very grateful for
the response the people have
made' to this drive and 1 extends
his personal thanks to each and
every person who has had a part
in’ making this big undertaking
such a wonderful success. 1
If you haven’t bought your
bond yet, you’ll be ashamed one
day when these boys return
home. This is the least they are
expecting of those back home!

All Baptist churches in the
state are urged to cooperate in

ferences. “By multiplying the
meeting and moving the speakers
from point to point great saving
in gas and tire use will be effect
ed,” says Mr. Corzine, who is di
recting the program.
The conferences promoted
jointly by the Baptist State Sun
day School Department of Co
lumbia and the Baptist Sunday
School Board of Nashville, Tennes

!n the evening beginning at 7:15
o’clock and closing at 9:35 o’clock.
“We hope to have over on^
thousand people in attendance in
these meetings,” says Mr. Corzine.
“They will be considered three of
the most vital organizations of
the prseent Sunday school. We
have made great progress in the
past, but the critical situation in
these war days makes it highly
important that we do still more
for the , people to whom these
Sunday school departments minis
ter. These meetings are a part
of our ‘Serve the Folk at Home’
program set up when the war
effort made necessary a reduction
in travel throughout our coun
try.”

Dear McCormick County Patrons:
From the standpoint of the lo
cal community the reasons for
operating a lunch program in the
schools are easy to understand.
Mothers, fathers, teachers, doc
tors and school administrators
know the importance of having
children eat properly. Since most
children are at school during
lunch time, for most of the year
the school lunch is an important
part of the total diet of the in
dividual. In most cases, the par
ents don’t have the time to pre
pare an adequate lunch for their
children. If they did it would not

easier for them to get necessary
manpower. Congress is giving
vie serious thought to the manpower
8 ’ problem and may yet decide to
• pass legislation for drafting men

for farming. But political experts
here don’t anticipate much ac-
W tion along this line until after the
November election.
The McCormck High Panthers

McCormick’s first, will be

The Panthers have been show-
s ng up well in practice which
they began Sept. 6th. With only

team is composed of inexperi
enced players.

last Saturday evening with an

In order to set up this pro
