Wealth in a communit}' was represented by property. Tax the property, and you taxed the wealth. But that is not true today. First of all, many wealthy people in a community own no property at all. Many ordinary people, who earn large amounts, and spend large amounts, also own no property. * Wealth today can be expressed in salaries or in stock ownership as well as real estate or gold. In addition, much wealth flows out of the community to “foreign” corporations. We do not mean by this the factories which are taxed in Decatur, and which earn good salaries for the workers there. We mean the hundreds .of companies, such as insurance companies, mail order companies, book companies, etc., etc., that earn large sums in Decatur, but put none of it back in our economy. Obviously, no local tax will catch this siphoned wealth. What would catch it? How about a national 1% income tax on corporations returned to local governmental corporations on a per capita basis? This way the wealth that centers in New York City or Indianapolis or Chicago from money earned in Decatur or Monroe or Keokuk would be returned. This would give no incentive or cause for industry to leave a given area. As it now stands, local taxes are imposed primarily on workers, while the great American earners, the corporations, largely avoid taxes. Not all can do this. For example, I & M is the largest taxpayer of county property taxes, and NIPSCO, the gas company, is probably second, with the railroads and telephone company well up the list. But a small community has to be very careful. It can tax factories to the point where it is cheaper for them to go to other states, to operate. This can hurt a town’s economy. Now if instead of trying to tax these corporations locally and ineffectually, a nationwide Federal corporate income tax were imposed, would this not help negate the disadvantage that sophisticated areas face in competition with cheap-labor areas in getting new factories? This is just a proposition, but is well worth discussing, and it would be interesting to see how much money such a scheme would raise, compared with the local property tax.

o Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee 1 a o Non-Skid Bookends If one of your pairs of bookends is always skidding or sliding all over the place, try gluing a wide rubber band or a piece j of automobile inner tube on the bottom of each end ’ — and this will anchor it Instant Coffee For All When you’re entertaining, you 1 can use your instant coffee in your coffee-maker. Simply make the number of cups you want, in quantity in ybur coffe-maker, with spares for seconds, and > serve from the coffee-maker, instead of making individual cups of coffee as you do for yourself. Zipper Efficiency An ordinary wax candle makes a fine lubricant for a slide fastener that tends to stick or bind. Simply stroke across the teeth on both sides of the fastener several times with the candle, and it should then work like new. ‘ Fancy Pastry Crusts Fancy up pastry crusts by rolling the* dough on small . sheets of patterned aluminum 5 from the hardware store. Per- ’ forated designs should be used ' on a cloth pad so the dough will reproduce the pattern as it r is rolled. Preserving Leaves If you’d like to preserve gailyr colored autumn leaves, cover the 1 top of an ironing board with several thicklnesses of newspaper or r wrapping paper to protect it. Then 5 use a small, freshly cut branch of leaves. Run a warm iron over a cake of paraffin and press each leaf separately. Work quickly and use only a thin covering of the paraffin. Your leaves will thus retain their color and shape. Screw Lock When a certain wood screw persists in working loose, especially in soft wood, a simple method of locking it is to drive a staple across the screwhead so that it r rests in the screw slot. This will 1 prevent it from turning and working loose.
