The Graettinger Times outlines that on March 1 Americans face the highest income taxes yet, as a costly result of wartime defense. The piece notes the severity of the new tax bill and its impact on households nationwide.
The new tax bill raises direct taxes across income brackets, including small earnings and high fortunes, and shifts excess profits taxes to come first. Corporate rates jump, with 24 percent regular tax and 45 to 60 percent on excess profits, aiming to raise revenue for defense costs while sparking calls for further reform.
A compiled roster of Graettinger and nearby residents serving in the U S military. Names span Army Navy Marines Air Corps Coast Guard and field artillery units with notes on branches and affiliations. The notice invites corrections and emphasizes preserving the record for future reference.
The article lists Navy Army and Marine personnel including Albert Oxtey Eugene Duffy Leo Young L R Christensen Virgil Starkey Boyd Green Clarence Moffitt Elwood Erickson John Boecker James Hayes Merle Petergen Dwayne Allen Ted McCarty Vincent Boecker Dick Rasmussen Arnold EF Frank Schumacher and others.
