Washington, March 11--Though It seems likely that Congress will revise the tax proposals of the Treasury Department, a series of recent developments indicate that folks in all walKS of life will be obliged to contribute substantially to the cost of government and war. A rough idea of the burden which our present national emergency will place on the people may he gleaned from the official request for Congress to authorize increasing the debt limit from 66 to 125 billions. Steep increases in "personal taxes and on articles used by all citi- - zens show that Secretary of the Treasury Morganthau was mildly realistic in the comment "the new taxes are severe and the impact will be felt in r every American home." The House Committee on Ways and Means whirh 1 has the unenviable task of devising a workable tax schedule from the Treas- ; ury proposals is now grimly at work readying a plan to reacn into alJ pocketbooks. Before it can write scehdules, this important committee mast first determine principles uftder which they will operate. It must be remembered that government taxes are not predicated solely upon the necessity of raising revenue. Just now it is important that consideration should be given to th? effect of these levies on curbing inflation by restricting normal purchasing power. It is reported that the Treasury has Held in abeyance several sources of taxes which may be trotted ^ out AS substitutes for present plans under Congressional scrutiny. Many j recommendations thaj the Federal tajf; specialists had in mind were shelved j in recent weeks by the rationing pro*' gram which effectively dried up these ! sources of taxation, such as tires, i automobiles, radios and refrigerators.' ST" The politicians also recognize that { people are more tax conscious this i week as income taxes are calculated > and the first installment paid to Uncle ' j The happy theory that politics could be largely adjourned for the duration! of the war has been exploded occasiort- f ally of late.

The ifl&f $ armistice" on politics was again j undermined a day or two ago by At- i torney General Biddle's open plea to] maintain the political fight for liberal* ism irrespective of the war.

Ptossiblo ViVftflscation of tires on Yion-wwntial motor vehicles has again riveted public attention on the rubber situation. Price Administrator Hen* derson's frank admission that such drastic action may be necessary brought questions as to the status of the synthetic rubber program. It seems generally agreed that little pro- *«i css has been mads toward the establishment of plants to produce the synthetic products. The delay is attributed to various causes. The prevailing view is that inter-departmental bickering and inter-industry squabbles are largely to blame for retarding actual manufacture of synthetic rubber. The prediction that plants can tarn out 400,000 tons of this new material within eighteen months is taken with a grain of salt. In fact, grave doubts are raised as to whether it will be possible to approach even ten per cent of this estimated output. Meanwhile, local educational campaigns inaugurated in Michigan are attracting nation-wide attention. Civic and industrial groups are co-operating in the conservation of tires and motor equipment. They have made community studies which have resulted in volunteer programs changing the school hours, shopping periods and the movement of traffic of workers from home U»,office and factory-. The experiences in saving tire mileage and in preventing traffic jams has bet!n such that it is expected other communities will follow the exmaple of a few Michigan cities. The growing apprehension that millions of cars will be forced into storage by failure to obtain tire replacements is expected to stimulate local thinking on the subject of conservation. Despite rising demands from the public for marked economies in nondefense expenditures, Congress finds it difficult to make the necessary cuts. The debate on the enormous Department of Agriculture Appropriation bill revealed Congressional determination Mr can cheese.
