Apparently, though, It Is a moral lesson that about half the United States Senators have forgotten, or are just learning. And a first hand experience with the moral is causing these Snators some embarrassing momepta right now. Center of the embarrassment is Car-reacMng tax bill, with a sugarcoated title saying it would "take the profits out of war," which recently appeared In the Senate bill hopper. It bore the names of 50 Senators as sponsors. Offhand, the bill appeared one like ly to be favored by the public. After nil. nobody likes /war. But careful reading of thin bill with the, "take tie profits out of war" title, has revealled the title to be a misnomer. In reality, the bill goes far beyond the soralled 'profits of war* and reaches, right down ho the bottom of everybody's pocket. So broqd is the Mil, that low Income groups who t now escape paying Income taxes (but of oourse still pay heavily thru indirect taxes) would have ho give up (Cont'd on Editorial page) . . , .in -1 .1*'- i .riSfdi '.itS
