Who Pays For The War ? (By Bruce Hutchison in ■ Free Press) Winnipeg • OTTAWA: The poor man in Can- ada is going to pay for the war. He will have to pay . for it, no matter 'how the. government arranges its tax- ation system, because it is only the poor man who has enough money to pay for it. • In an age when it is popular and may be necessary to "soak tlfe rich,' it may seem paradoxical to argue, that the poor man has the money to pay for the war. The actual figures, how- ever, show this to be true. Putting it in sinnplest terms, the greatest part of the nation'•s-`income goes into .the (rockets of 'millions of little men. 'The rich are few in. number, and while they may, •have plenty of ;money indi- vidually, they 'do not have collective- ly a Jarge fraction of the nation's in- come..• Who Has the Money? To pay for the war, the government must get the money, by any form of 'taxation, where the money is. This yearlrthe government is going to -levy income taxes on a .million Canadians who never paid it before. These are all relatively poor people. They ,must be' taked because together, they 'own most of the income of the nation. In- stead of a quarter of a million income taxpayers, as in the past, Canada will have a million and a' quarter from now on.

It will depend on the level of wages in various industries', on the level of employnnent, on the total output of wealth. We do know, however, what happened to' the nation's income in the past. The last complete survey released by the government covers the year 1938-39. While the figures have changed since that time, the lessons to be learned from them remain the same, -and the lesson is that only the little man can pay for the war. ° The' little' man, in• fact, .is -better able to. pay for the war now than In 1939 because his income, as.a class, has risen, whereas the income of the rich' has not - risen much, and the gov- ernment is taking more and more of the rich man's money through taxa- tion. ,Thus if it dan be shown that most of the taxable income of the na- tion was owned by the little man 'In 1939 we can be..sure that even more of it is owned by the litele, man in 1941, when war industry as increas- ed wages. To begin with, there were only 31,- 592 taxpayers tin. 1939 who had in- comes 'over $5,000 a year. All the rest of the 264,804 people who paid income taxes had less than $5,000. The Different Brackets • Among the taxpayers, the largest pool of income was received by 119,- 346 men who had less than $2,000 a year. This class had about $240,000,- 000, • and a lenge part of that came from men with much less than $2,000. As soon as you go uekthe scale, in- to higher wages and salaries, you find the number of recipients and the to- tal income diminishing. Thus in the class between $2,000 and $3,000 there were only 63,572 people and they re- ceived between them about $158,000,- 000. . When you go up to the class be- tween $3;000 and $4,000 you find only 33,392 people, with -a total income of about $100,000,000. Between $4,000 and $5,000 there were only 15,902 people with an in- come of about $60,000,000. The next class, between $5;000 and .$6,000, to- talled only 8,627 people with about $40,006,000. So it goes, until you find only 1,986 men in the class between $'9,000 and $10,000, and they had less than $20,- 000,000 of income between them,, If the governin'ent d'ecid'ed on a pol- icy of soaking the rich even to the point Qf confiscation, it could not pay for the War. All theeincomres of Can- ada above $10,000 totalled less than -$200,000,000 in 10.39. Out of this• the government already is taking a size- able thank—most of the very. lar - est internee. elf it were to take the remainder it could not pay more than a few 'weeks' expenses in a wear cost- ing/ '066 446 o fent' ii itlibrtis it day.

In retain Geoffrey Crowther, editor of cone - mist and mite of the snot eminent liv- ing authorities, says in a new book: "Few people realize how little income the rich have left after they have paid their taxes. . . . If the state, de- cided, over and above the existing, taxes, to take every penny over £2,000 ($8,500) a year, so that nobody should have a net income higher than that figure, it would •only get . . . about £57,500,000. Clearly there is not much more to be got from the in- comes of the rich." That would be only enough to pay Britain's war cost for five or six days. All this is not to argue that our, present taxation system is equitable, or that the rich should not carry a larger share of the load. On the .con- trary, the 'taxation system is inequit- able, vicious and, in Mr. Ilsley's own words, a "jumble," and it will remain so until the provinces and the Domin- ion get together and make a better arrangement. Meanwhile, u the poor inevitably - are penalized, chiefly tkrrough invisible taxes. But with the most equitable systems in the world, and no matter how much the rich are soaked, it will still' remain true that only the little man can pay for the war. ST.

Try an evening of costume snaps—you'll have some genuine camera fun. Li OW many costume pictures in Cl your snapshot album—pictures of the children all dressed up for a party, or other members of the family in the costumes of a bygone era or another country? Such shots are easy to arrange. —easy to take—and a source of much camera fun.' They're easy, because the costumes don't have to be elaborate or durable. For snapshot purposes, you can use all sorts of substitute materials and methods—pins instead of stitching, lace paper instead of real lace, and so forth. Some of the most clever costumes can be put together in a few minutes. These makeshift costumes are successful because • the camera is easily fooled. Pins in the back don't show—and substitute materials can appear just as natural as the real thing. If some part of the costume is 'too. obviously "faked," you' sim- ply adjust the light so it is in, half- shadow. This siibdd'es the obtrusive details. tome pictures—and so do grown- ups. Chances are, if you .will rum- mage around in the attic trunks, you will find plenty of material for an evening of fun. Coats, dresses, collars, and hats that you wore eight or ten years ago—these are splen- did for the purpose. It's surprising how "dated" the styles become in only a few years you'll find them truly comic. For foreign costumes, vex -ions materials can be pressed into ser- vice—such as an old shawl, stray pieces of cloth from the work- basket, crepe paper, and -plenty of pins. Just to illustrate—crepe pa- per, folded and gathered, makes a fine neck ruff for a Spanish don or an Elizabethan dandy. Your dic- tionary, encyclopedia, wind other books will fllustrate many costumes that are fun to reproduce. 'Pry an evening of costume snap- shots. Gather a few materials --en- list members of the family as niod-• els---arid you'll add some worth - While pictures to your collection.

So many eggs are being laid by the bens that there is more than. enough of this food to meet present demand in this country and a.iso to fill any orders that may come from Great Britain. • A piece of sound advice at this time to homemaker& who want to Make the most of the food dollar, is to take adtiantage of the good buy eggs are at prevailing prices and to use them freely. Serye them for hutch or supper, alone OF in a coin - hinted dish as the main course, use them in desserts, and- make large fluffy light sponge cakes which can be made at a nominal cost. Egg cookery is simple, but there is. one general rule which should be followed. Always cook eggs at a low temperature, 'so that they will be tender and •pa.iata.ble, -If cooked in water, as in poaching Or to be served ,in the sibell the water should' be kept below boiling esoint, and this rule should not be broken evert when fry- ing eggs, as slow cooking given best results. - In baking egg ' 'dishes, a moderately slow oven should be used and this includes baking the sponge type of cake and meringues. Tho Consumer Section•; ' Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, reminds conrsuiliers that eggs are sold by grade on. the basis of quality and size.
