TOWNSHIP TAXES This is a review of the McHenry Township levy for the last six years: 1937, $6,000; 1938, $6,000; 1939, $6,000; 1940, $12,600; 1941, $15,390; 1942, $15,440. The town tax rate of the $6,000 levy was 16 cents. This year's tax rate on the $15,390 is 38 cents, or 140 per cent Higher. My town tax on my assessed value of three years ago levy, 16-cent rate, was $26.72. This year, on the same assessed value, the 38- cent rate, cost me $63.46, or $36.74 more. According to the supervisor's report this year, there has been, besides last year's taxes collected, over $500 foi feited and back taxes paid in and $4£ back taxes from the Kelter estate. Three years ago I paid to the present supervisor the sum of $4,367.81 I had left in the treasury. According to this year's report, there is only $800 in the treasury, and besides there is still an anticipation warrant outstanr ing of $1,500 unpaid. According 1 the supervisor's report, in the last tv years he has paid $360 interest on anticipation warrants. In the thirty years that I was supervisor, I -never paid one cenLjjjterest for anticipation warrants. / S.- H. FREUND, A Taxpayer. Buy Wisely in Order To Look Your Best Too Few Clothes as Bad as Too Many. By CHERIE NICHOLAS "Let's plan carefully. Let's spend proportionately to what we Spent last year insofar as taxes and our defense bond investments will allow. Let's buy only quality with a view to having our clothes give dependable service with an eye to the future, and let's not be grim about it. Let's carry on in high endeavor, keeping in mind when we buy our clothes that it's patriotic to look Pretty so that we will be an inspiration while we carry on* "Be not like the woman who says she is going to buy one little black dress for the duration, nor like the woman who says she is going to buy everything she can possibly buy, for there's no telling when she will Jse able to buy anything else. Do not anticipate priorities. As long as the merchants carry stock which they will continue to do tuned intelligently and thoughtfully to tine best interests of all concerned, purchase what you need and when you need it. "Keep your waistline slim and your chin up. It's patriotic to look pretty. You are helping to win the war when your appearance is an inspiration and an uplift to the spirits of men called to the front. So be sure you are dressed to look your prettiest for that soldier, sailor or marine on leave. Be she mother, sweetheart or wife, every man in uniform wants to see her looking her best." The above paragraphs are excerpts from a very interesting and inspirational talk given by Mrs. Lois Barnes, regional director of the Chicago Fashion group at their annual spring luncheon and style show. We are sure this most timely advice will be welcomed by women everywhere who are somewhat perplexed these days as to how to carry on wisely and consistently well. Speaking of priorities which outline curtailment of this and that in civilian apparel, rather than proving disheartening they are already wholesomely reacting as a challenge to the resourcefulness of American designers and manufacturers who have ever been noted for that quality of inventiveness which is ready to meet any emergency. Now, more than ever is this true. Paging Color " . a ! a • --, -.r: -y Thursday, June 11, 1942 Our Washington Letter --By-- National Editorial Cleaning Ash Trays Ash trays need frequent cleaning. Soak in hot soapy water, wipe dry. If there are any stubborn stains, remove them by lightly scrubbing with steel wool or a stiff brush dipped in hot sudsy water. Washington, June 10--Not even the possible bombing of the American mainland as an aftermath of the enemy assaults on Alaska can distract the public attention from the impact of war regulations on their everyday lives. Perhaps actual bombardment of our coast cities may bring about a change, but the mere threat apparently is not diminishing the resistance to the proposed broadening of government rationing edicts. Responsible government officials are profoundly disturbed that more attention is accorded the question of adequate substitutes for rubber than*the graver problems of an aggressive war. The gasoline and tire rationing problems is so deeply stained with political coloring that it is difficult to determine the true facts. A series of hearings are underway here this week before a Senate committee for the purpose of clearing away ..the fog; Conflicting statements have been issued by governmental agencies as to the need for rationing these products. Legislators coming from oil producing states, particularly in the West and South, cltoim that a nation- wide gasoline rationing regulation will force oil refineries to shut down or pour gasoline into the ground. Federal ratining officials, on the other hand, insist that restrained use of gasoline by the general public is also designed as a tire conservation method. It is generally admitted that rationing along the Atlantic seaboard has been brought about by transportation shortages due largely to the sinking of oil tankers by enemy submarines. The attempt of the rationing officials to impose restrictions on all states irrespective ol the availability of gasoline has struck political snags. Many lawmakers seeking reelection frankly concede that the resentful public may take their revenge out on incumbents although the rationing is controlled by the administrative wing of the government. Not to be overlooked in the political aspects of the situation is the pressure from state governments whose' revenues are vitally affected by gasoline rationing. Hundreds of millions are collected in taxes by these commonwealths for the support of schools and other state functins. It will be noted that many tates leading the fight against na- * ion-wide rationing have a larga tourists' business. For instance, Michigan revenues from this trade amounts to about $400,000,000 annually and Florida has a similar stake to say nothing ol California's tremendous volume. The ancient controversy of the state versus the central government came to a head again this week when the powerful House Appropriations Committee recommended that jurisdiction over the administration of unemployment benefits be transferred from the Federal Social Security Board to the commonwealth's agencies. It is the ^cst definite move by the states to ire vent the extension of Federalizaion. While the House action is just a beginning of an organized movement to prevent the pushing of Uncle Sam's arm into what are essentially state affairs, it may have far-reaching effects. Because of the national emergency the state officials are not asking for the return, of employment offices to their control, but they want them restored after the war. The more prosperous and densely populated commonwealths have built up huge reserves and do not want the Federal government to take over the funds or their functions. Advocates of central tfvernment theories are working hard to have the Senate wipe out the House action. State officials are carrying on their war to ward off the Social Security Board influence. 7 . , With the prospects of bombing stej>- for spring the accent is daringly, | ped up by Japanese attacks on Alaska, flaringly on color..
