On The Tar Heel Front
IN WASHINGTON
By Robert A. Erwin and Frances McKusick
Washington. It's been 'great
going" at the Capitol for the past
several days. The stupendous six
billion dollar .1942 income tax has
passed and received the President's
okay. That one little item alone
will dip well into the pockets of all
of us.
Well, well all be in the pluto
cratic income tax class now or
rather, we are already there. Any
single person who earns the mag
nificent sum of ?10 a week will
have to divvy up with Uncle Sam.
And any married person who
makes more than $750 and has no
little ones must do likewise. But
at that, most of us would rather
pay into an American ante now
than be wiped out by a Nazi blitz
later. It's a dealer's choice now,
but if we don't pay high stakes
today, there will be no choice at all
tomorrow. There'll be just one
dealer, and we'd have to take what
he gave us, with no questions ask
ed. '
Farmer Bob Douerhton. the
chairman of the House Ways and .
Mean Committee which spent so
many tedious months framing the
tax bill, was jubilant over the
quick passage in the House of the
conference committee report on the
bill. Only two dissenting votes

says that is a major victory for
his committee.
Over in the Senate, there has
been much confusion surrounding
the drafting of the 18 ' and 19-year-old
boys. Back of this confu
sion, the issue of to drink or not
to drink seems as important as
to draft or not to draft
Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma
believes no intoxicants should be
sold within a military area. He
offered an amendment to the draft
bill to that effect. But whether
this issue is settled, Senators have
started talking of prohibition
; again. . .
In our state. Senator Josiah W.
Bailey was expected to vote for
the dry amendment. Senator Bob
Reynolds has always held that
alcoholic beverages should not be
too accessible to the soldier, but
he accented Secretary of War
Stimson's request to vote against
the amendment.
Even though the House has
passed the bill lowering the draft
age of male citizens to 18 years
of age, several members of Con
gress are still receiving repercus
sions from it.
of the Raleigh Hotel will be the
scene of the event.
Senator Johiah William Bailey,
up for reelection for a third term
in the election next month, urges
"the people to go out and vote in
great numbers."
With so many men away from
home in the armed services and
the gasoline shortage, the total
vote is bound to be smaller than
usual, he admitted. "Nevertheless,
I believe the people will vote in
pretty good numbers," he added.
The senior Senator presented to
the Senate resolutions of State
Commissioner of Agriculture W.
Kerr and the state board of agri
culture asking that something be
done to alleviate the current farm
labor shortage.
TOUGH TACKLE
By Jack Sords
Western North Carolina, which
in the past has endured a power
shortage in many of its homes and
industries will be gratified to learn
that because of plentiful rains this
year, the great power dams of
TV A.' and the Nantahala Power
and Light Company will be able to
furnish adequate power supply.
TVA has added several hun
dred horsepower to its capacity;
Nantahala, 90,000 horsepower, and
the Georgia Power Company, 140,-
000 to 150,000 HP.
The 1942 tax bill has proved to
be a glutton for work not only
for the Tar Heel Chairman Rob
ert L. Doughton of the House
Ways and Means committee, and
Senator Johiah W. Bailey, mem
ber of the Senate Finance commit
tee, for also for a third Tar Heel,
John D, Catling of Windsor, en
rolling clerk of the Senate and
memebr of the State Democratic
Executive committee from Bertie
county.
Gatling not only had to enroll
the most-amended bill in United
States history, but he also had to
enroll the Senate's 504 amendments
to the House version of the mea
sure. Catling said he had to work
on it day and night for an entire
week. .

The right to govern ourselves
BRAVE AND DETERMINED Americans
left bloody footprints in the snow at Val
ley Forge, to give us the priceless right to run
our country as the majority of us think it
should be run.
Today, equally resolute and courageous
Americans are fighting to preserve that hard
won heritage for themselves and for their
children. They know that in the Axis nations
people are mere puppets bowing to the brutal
whims of fanatical dictators.
That's why Americans are fighting. And, as
they fight on to certain Victory, they are in
spired by an unshakable determination that
this government shall continue to be "of the
people, by the people, and for the people."
The Southern Railway System, because of its
strategic location, is playing a tremendously
vital role in the transportation of war materials
and fighting men. But it is doing more than
that. It is also helping to keep the wheels of
out national life rolling in defense of the home
front. It is grimly but willingly taking on bur
den after burden because it's a rich privilege
to serve the nation in times like these.
When private automobile travel began to be
curtailed by tire and gasoline rationing the
kind of travel that normally accounts for more
than four-fifths of all inter-city travel the
railroads took on the thankless job of provid
ing substitute transportation. That meant more
trains, more .cars per train, more locomotives,
crowded stations, and a thousand headaches!
But the job is being done on top of the major
task Of handling hundreds of thousands of
Uncle Sam's soldiers, sailors and marines.
When the oil shortage developed in the
eastern states, the railroads said that they could
move 200,000 barrels a day to meet the emer
gency. They are now moving more than
800,000 barrels a day. In the first eight months
of this year, the Southern Railway System alone
handled more than 19,000,000 barrels of oil to
the North and East.
These are simply examples of how one rail
road is doing its bit to protect our way of life;
our heritage of freedom; our right to govern
ourselves.
From this experience, a better Southern Rail
way System will emerge more efficient and
more useful to the people it serves than ever
before 'because, even during these trying
times, we are taking advantage of every oppor
tunity to improve our services, facilities and
methods; every opportunity to plan for a better
tomorrow when Americans will continue to
hold their heads high as free men, proud in the
knowledge that their children, too, will enjoy
the blessings inherent in a nation of self-goV"
erning people.
That is worth fighting for!
President.
