Income Tax:
v i
1t On Joe
BY S. BURTON HEATH
. NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK-—(NEA)—The au-
Ithor of the first income tax law,
{who also was the first Commis
|sioner of Internal Revenue, was a
famous psychologist, economist
jand administrator named Joe,
who started life as a poor shep
iherd, never attended college, and
lachieved the highest office open
{to an immigrant.
. He got that way by selling the
idea that he could interpret
dreams. He lived to the age of
1104, but when he devised the in
come tax he was only 30. He was
great grandson of Abraham, 23rd
generation descendants of Adam.
His name was Joesph. He is best=
remembered for his least notable
achievement, the wearing of a coat
|of many colors that made his
brothers so jealous they sold him
into slavery in Egypt.
It was almost 3500 years ago
that Joseph put across the first in
come tax, which was at exactly
the basic rate at which our tax
starts in 1948, |
The Tax ¥oundation dug out
the story from Chapters 41 -and 47
of the Book of Genesis.
Pharaoh had a dream, Joesph,
presumably familiar with the
Nile floods’ 14-year-cycle, inter
preted it.
“The way I see it, Boss, we're
| going to have seven years of fat
}crops and then seven years of
| drought and famine. Tell you what
iyou do. You find a discreet, wise
i chap, make him Commissioner of
i Internal Revenue. Have him ap
'point a lot of Collectors all over
Egypt. Then levy a 20 per cent
|tax on every man’s income, his
| grain crop.”
{ Pharaoh was so enthusiastic he
'made Joe his Commissioner on
the spot. Also he handed him a
lot of jewelry, let him ride in the
second chariot in all future pa
rades, and gave him Poto-pherah’s
| daughter Asenath.for a wife. This
iimproved Joe’s social standing be
cause Poti was a priest and the
priests were the only class in
Egypt who rated exemption from
the income tax, though Genesis
does not say whether that exemp
tion was decided on before or af
ter Asenath moved into Joe's
house.
Joe collected so much grain that
he ran out of fingers and toes and
{ stopped trying to keep a' record
of how much he had.
Well, either Joe did know how
to read dreams, or he was familiar
with flood cycles, because the
| drought and famine came along on
schedule. The Egyptians asked
| Pharaoh for bread and he sent
‘them to Joe.
“Joe’s the boss, just like I said.
You do what he tells you.”
They got the grain—for money.
The Bible doesn’t say how much
Joe charged, but it does say that
in the first year of the famine Joe
sold enough grain to get all the
money there was in Egypt, and all
the money there was in his native
Canaan, and a lot from other
lands, and he “brought the money
into Paraoh’s house,” which by
-that time mus’ have looked like
Fort Knox.
Condensing to shorten the story,
but not to change it, Chapter 47
| tells the outcome like this:
“When money failed Joseph
said “Give your cattle” And they
brought their cattle and Joseph
zgave them bread in exchange for
i horses, and for the flocks, and for
lthe cattle of the herds, and for the
asses.
“When that year was ended
they said ‘Our money is psent; my
{lord also hath our herds of cattle;
I there is nought left but our bodies
and our lands. Buy us and our
land for bread.”
| “And Joesph bought all the land
lof Egypt for Pharaoh, and the
.people he moved to cities from
one end of the borders of Egypt
t’to the other end thereof.”
| By now probably you remem
ber the story. Joseph had “busted
the clcye” and, by taxing in good
years, had fed the people of his
little world in bad years. That,
Ithe Tax Foundation’s magazine
| “Tax Outlook” points out, makes
{ him also the author of the theory
of cycle - neutralization which
Washington is considering again
right now.
But in doing so, Joesph got for
{ the government all the money, all
ithe horses and sheep and -cattle
and asses, plus a lien on the life
time services of all the people in
Egypt. He gave them some seed,
told them to plant it, and ordered
that from that time on one-fifth
of everything they raised should
belong to Parahaoh, the emperor.
ICOOK[NG FISH ‘
L Some fish contain more fat than
others. Fat fish are usually best
for baking and boiling while lean
fish are better for cooking in water
ior steam or for making chowders. |

Near Perfect Bogus $lO, S2O Bills
May Flood U. S., Treasury Men Warn
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspendent
WASHINGTON -— (NEA) —
Every bank in the U. S. has had
a spevial warning {rom the U. S.
Treasury Department to be on the
alert for a possible flood of almost
perfect counterfiet money during
the Christmas shopping rush.
The top-off on what could be
the biggest and most expert coun
terfeit ring ever 1o operate in the
U. 8. came in New York and Bal
timare more recently with the
discovery of thousands of bogus
10s and 20s in circulation. One
“passer” of the bills, which have
been identified as coming from
the same press, was arrested in
Baltimore. Others passers are ex
pected to be picked up soon, too.
But the passers aren’'t part of
the ring which is printing the
money and probably don’t even
know who the printers are, ac
cording to a Secret Service
spokesman.
The ring can’'t be considered
broken until the actual printing
plant is discovered, the engraving
plates destroyed and the Kkey
members of the gang arrested. A
nation-wide manhunt is on for
them.
The fake bills are of excellent
quality. In both cities where they
have been discovered, many of
them first passed through the
hands of a dozen or more expe
rienced money-handlers and
' weren’t detected until 'they reach
‘ed Federal Reserve hanks.
The green on the backs is
lighter than on tne good bills. The
outlines of the pictures of the
men aren’t clear-cut. The paper
of the bogus bills has a slightly
different “feel” — a little softer.
Extremely clever crayon marks
have been put on the paper to
simulate t h e grain of the real
paper. The Treasury has sent de
tailed descriptions of the faults
of the counterfeit bills along with
the serial numbers of them to all
\of the banks.
~ According to the Secret Service
experts, the Christmas shopping
season is the best time of the year
for passing bad money. A lot of
temporary, inexperienced clerks
are working during the holidays.
Cashiers in the big stores are usu
ally rushed to that they don’t
'have time to examine the money
‘as carefully as they usually do.
'And the tremendous volume of
‘money in circulation means that
a fake bill gets passed around
;several times, probably, before it
‘reaches a ba nkand can be de
‘tected. Thurs the first passer can
'seldom be traced. Even ihe banks
!hare rushed and can’t examine the

money as closely as usual. |
The warning to the banks also
asks a vigil against all types of
counterfeit notes. Counterfeiting
in general has reached a new high
since the war. In the fiscal year
1946, bogus bills worth $39,171
were discovered to be in circula
tion. In 1947, bogus bills worth
$246,176 were seized and during
fiscal 1948 the figure jumped to
$3,094,230.
Part of the reason for the in
crease, Secret Service men say,
is that they appears to be a great
lack of cas in the underworld
these days. Crime in the U. S. is
away down generally. And prac
tically all of the black market
operations which flourished dur
ing the war and just after have
disappeared. As a result, crooks
who are findinf it hard to earn
a dishonest dollar have taken to
printing. them.,
The gang that prints the mon
ey usually doesn't get more than
six to eight cents on the dollar
for them. With the demand cur
rently up, however, the price 'is
prebably up, too, according to the
experts. The first sale is usually
in large batches to dealers or
“distributors.” The stuff might
change hands a half-ldozen times
with a small profit on each trans
action, before it finally gets into
‘the hands of a passer.
~ Passers pay about 30 cents on
)me dollar for it. They stand ‘to
'make the biggest profit, but also
take the biggest risk.

FEW NAMESAKES
VIENNA.— (AP) —The self
styled “Greatest of All <Aus

namesakes in his native land,
lEven after Adolf Hitler took
over the counitry in the 1938
Anschluss, his first name was
\m)t popular with new parents.
The 100 percent Nazis liked the
}Nm-dic names of Horst, - Dieter
and Siegfried, Non-Nazis want
‘ed nothing to ddo with the name,
A recent survey by govern-
Iment officials show that parents
lare avoiding the name “Adolf"”
|g9 they would the plague. The
trend now is to ‘orget the new=
ifangled Nordie appellations and
give offspring such old Austrian
favorites as Franz, Josef, Leco
pold, Karl and Hans,
The survey also shows that
few girls are being named Karin
and Edda, as they were during
|the Nazi occupation. Those are
the names of Hermann Goer
ing's first wife and daughter.
