Editorial Gloom and Skepticism on Tax Policy and Prosperity
Borrowed Editorials recall a bygone era of simple taxes and warn that modern taxes and complex forms burden citizens.

A soldier in North Africa sends a forceful poem to his aunt criticizing workers who strike during wartime. He contrasts U S labor loyalty with a muting nimble stance, calling for harsher consequences for those seeking extra pay while colleagues face malaria, hunger, and combat.
