C. Hubbard, Concord Place, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Mrs. Hubbard: This is to acknowledge your postal card in regard to taxation. The matters you mention seem to be largely ones that present questions of local administration. However, I should imagine that as a representative of Mothers of America you would strongly favor protective measures necessary to maintain our economic structure and protect it from the severe inflationary dangers resulting from the warTaxation is, of course, vitally necessary to reduce the enormous surplus of buying power today in relation to the shrunken supply of goods and services available to the public. We have not imposed upon ourselves nearly as stringent taxation as have our allies. I, for one, believe that government at all levels — local, State and national — should and ought to be operated more efficiently and economically. I do not know what prompted your postal card, but since I have recently suggested a special wartime capital gains tax as an inflation control measure, it may be that you would be interested in seeing the enclosed statement explaining the reasons why I think this a necessary and protective measure at this time. Sincerely yours, M. S. Sccles, Chairman. Saolosure IT :b
