THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1944 Number 33 'f I' if 1 1 r ■zstmjvryx.*., J )]ily 200 In War * Bo>* Bought In Conatv Un To Sat. Washington, D. C., January 24.— (NWNS)—Having finally got their breath back -after listening to the ' avalanche of rqeuests made by President Roosevelt in his two messages to the new congress, many congressmen are now point ing out that, except for his re quest for a national war service act?, he didn’t actually ask for any thing new. He did ask for higher taxes — but he has been asking for them > dent intimates that, to increase taxes, we should center our atten tion on corporations and on the high income group which only ac count for one-fifth of income. This spokesman pointed out that congress would probably be willing to enact higher taxes if the Pres ident would back a sales tax or a higher tax on workers who are now earning 2 and • 3 times the amount thev were before the war and who offer the real threat of inflation. But, he said, congress e did ask for continuation of will undoubtedly refuse to boost farm subsidies — but that too is taxes much further on the higher pcihin* new. ' income group — particularly when He did ask for reenactment of' the President continues to hand out *ct stabilizing wages and prices Day increases to practically all la bor groups which demand them. Because of the wave of economy which has come over congress in recent monthsTUie budget requests of the President will probably be analyzed in detail before they are granted—particularly the requests along. which expires in June, but that was just asking for the continua- ' tion of a policv which h° has sup ported from the beginning. And even the request wnich did most to knock th* breath out of our legislators — the request for $99,000,000,000 to carry on the war f 0r f un ds which are not wholly una to support the government during the next fiscal vear — was no more than was to be expected. After studying the two messages, the consensus of congressional o- pmion seems to be: the national war service act will probably not be enacted unless an act is formu lated which will nractically guar antee an end to strikes; the Pres ident’s message may tend to boost taxes somewhat above the amount now being considered by the sen ate but thev will, not approach the $10,500,000,000 addition whicn he set as a minimum: farm sub sidies may be extended for a lim ited time; the stabilization act will be reenacted: most, of the $99,000,000,000 budget will be ap proved. Greatest disappointment over the President’s two messages center abound what one congressman called “a totally un realistic attitude toward taxa- t^r, ” This congressman, whose views are similar to those ex pressed by many, others, pointed ' facts: the treasury has admitted that four-fifths of our national income today goes to those making less than $5,000 a year: wages and salaries in 1943 totaled $103,000,000,000; net prof its to corporations in 1943 totaled only $9,000,000,000; yet the Presi- for war purposes. Some congress men predict that the total may be cut by as much as $15,000,000,000 before passage, although this does not seem likely at the present moment. If the requests go through without revision it is es timated that our total national debt by the end of June, 1945, will have reached the astronomical to tal of $285,000,000,000. In figures a little more understandable that would amount to a debt of almost $8,000 for every family in our country. Count v ’’•man 'T J. Sanders >tates tha* ka to last Saturday only $4 ?Q0 in Wro* Bonds has been-bought in McCormick Coun ty during the 4th War Loan Drive which began on January 18. The county’s quota is $97,900. The committees are urged to get out and sell bonds. Mr. Sanders calls on every loyal, patriotic citizen to buy an extra War Bond this month. He says, “Remember the boys who never let up in their fforts on the battlefronts. They are longing to get the job over and get back home. Let’s furnish them all they need to do that fighting for us! Let ? s all back the attack by buying an extra bond this month.” Miss McGrath, R.

X Bond Campaign Moving Ahead In This Con nt v The Fourth War Loan Bond campaign moved ahead this week in McCormick County as Chair man G. J. Sanders, Jr., and his co-workers in the drive urged early and heavy purchases, keep ing in mind the county’s quota of $97,900. From Columbia came a message from Christie Benet, State Chair man, declaring that “no greater service could be rendered the Nazi and Japanese causes” tnan for the Fourth War Loan cam paign to fail. “Your government and mine is calling upon every man and wom an in the United States to do his or her share in the Fourth War Loan drive,” Mr. Benet continued. And in connection with the cost of the war, he illustrated its ex tent by saying that South Caro lina’s entire quota for the cur rent campaign — $54,000,000 — would, it is estimated, “run the war for only a little less tnan five hours”. Asking that every effort be made to meet county quotas, Mr. Benet said “the Axis propaganda machine would be glad to broad cast to the world that we had failed in this drive. They bring charges and super-charges that this country is inefficient in the prosecution of the war, they men tion the differences between the President and Congress, the strikes and the threat of strikes. The Axis would be glad to broad cast to the world that we nad failed in this drive.” Chairman Benet expressed con fidence that the state would not fail, but said “it is going to take a tremendous amount of effort to raise $54,000,000.” X Union Services At .
