Soiree; Midwest Division--SAM THE McHENBY PUUNDEALER JOHNSBURG „ by Betty Hetterman Party Mood Members@jgjf, the Hettermann softball team and their wives gathered at; £he home of Mr. and Mrs. "Bud" filler oh Saturday evening, Jan; 5. for a little get-together party. Hie evening was enjoyably.' spent playing games Thursday, January TEN YEARS AGO From issue of Jan. 16, 1947 William Hanson of Barreville last week sought the assistance of Sheriff Fred Bau in finding hrs son, Willard Hanson, who has not been heard from since August, 1946. William J. Beth, 68. a former Ringwood resident, died in Norwood Park Jan. 13. "Huppy" and Leo Smith have purchased the Smith Brothers grocery store on Green street from Mrs. Louis Smith. I The average midwestern wage- ' earner will spend about 65 days ! this year working for national, ! state and local government. That j will be his 1957 tax bill. It will i include not only his income tax ; payments, but taxes on such other j items as real estate, personal ; property, gasoline and automobile | licenses. j According to J. G. Shennan, pres- ' ident of Elgin National Watch ' company, Elgin, this trend toward j greater taxation is drastically re- . ducing a worker's ability to im- ! prove his present standard of liv- > ing. "Even worse," he says, "it is : seriously imperiling his future." i Shennan, who is division vice- 1 president of the National Association of Manufacturers, says that the principal base on which governments draw their tax funds-- income of individuals and companies-- fias risen considerably in i recent years and that this alone I has permitted an ever-increasing revenue for the operation of these governments. "But," he adds, nearly all tax rates have increased at the same time, with serious effects on individual savings and the ability of these persons, and the companies for which they work, to increase their investments." Shennan calls attention to a recent study reported by the National Association of Manufacturers which indicates that the average business operation today has only about nineteen minutes of "profit j operation" in a full day's work schedule. The balance of the eight I hours is required to meet payroll I costs, material charges, other costs of doing business and taxes. "Profit," the report concludes, begins nineteen minutes before quitting time." Shennan sums the situation up this way: "Only by reversing the trend toward more and more taxation at all levels of government and eliminating-the discriminatory elements of the tax rates, can we hope to realize the potentials which our American system has to offer in the way of job creation and a much higher standard of living for everyone."
