of Test Case Calls
With Statement by Sen.
Harrison-Says Voted for
Section But Nowt Opposed
Is Harmful to Business And
Will Help Republicans
Change Law-Sen. Norris
Determined to Retain Clause

Washington, Nov. 20.-The publicity
ises to be the basis for a lively fight
at the next session of Congress.
Coincident with the indictment today
of the Baltimore Daily Post IN a test
case by the department of justice on
the publication of income tax lists,
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, issued statement declaring
that although he voted for the public
ity section he was now opposed to 1t.
He asserted it was harmful to bust
ness and to the general welfare and
he would cooperate with Republicans
to change the law.
This statement added new life to the
smoudering discomfort of Il number oil
senator's who are displased with the
results of the publicity. Chairman
Smoot of the Senate finance commit
tee declared he would lead fight in
the Senate TO shut off all publicity to
income tax returns and that he did
not believe. under the present law,
newspapers had the right to publish in
come tax returns. He explained that
he fought the insertion of the publici-
ty clause in the tax bill at the time 1t
was presented.
On the other hand, Senator Norris,
Republican, Nebraska. who drafted the
original publicity clause which was
adopted after amendment in confer
ence, asserted that if any attempt was
made to strike out the clause he would
make an effort to shed still more pup
licity on tax returns. He declared that
publicity "worked hardship only on
the dishonest taxpayer" and secrecy
forced the honest taxpayer to bear the
brunt of the burden.
AS an alternative to repeating the
present publicity clause, the Nebraska
senator said he would press his orig
inal amendment as a substitute to the
publicity section. This amendment, lie
explained, would lay open to the pup
lie the complete tax returns instead or
only the total tax payments as the
present law now provides. Under the
amendment, he said, the public would
be able to ascertain how the incomes
were made and income tax returns
would constitute public documents In
every sense Of the word.

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1924-10-16

ical history of this country means
nothing. Government ownership
and operation of the railroads means
inefficient transportation, expensive
transportation, unprogressive trans
portation; it means padded pay-rolls
and underpaid service, bureaucratic
inertia and political pull. The no.
ton that the farmer or any other
shipper will get low rates and high
ly efficient transportation from gov
eminent ownership and operation is
the bait of ambitious politicians who
are looking for more power.
The practical effect of govern
ment ownership in the inequality
and unfairness of the burden 1t i'm
poses upon the taxpayers is clearly
shown by Mussolini in criticism of
government ownership in Italy. He
says:
I'm Justice to Italy all major own
ed and operated public utilities of
the state must be returned to private
ownership. Users of public utility
service are securing that service at
the cost of taxpayers who do not use
it. Farmers who do not use cleo
tricity are taxed to support the great
hydro-electric companies owned by
the state, while people who do not
ride on trains or use them very
heavily for freight must pay taxes
to maintain roads used by heavy
travellers and shippers.
Railroad workers practically
own the state railroads and operate
them for their own good Numbers
OF employees and wages have in
creased out of all proportion. Ser
vice is poor, rates are three times as
high as they were seven years ago,
and there are deficits where there
were profits" t.

RAPID GROWTH OF
RADIO INDUSTRY.

Recently published reports tend
to give some idea of the rapid
growth and importance Of the radio
industry and the public gains
clearer conception of its magnitude
when it is told that the value of the
radio business is nearly twice as
great as that of the carpet and rug
business which is generally recog-
nized as an industry of no small
proportions. For every dollar spent
on furniture, 33 cents is spent on
radio. For every dollar spent on
boots and shoes, rs cents is spent
on radio. For every dollar spent on
musical instruments-pian or
gans, band and orchestra, phono-
graphs and even the lowly harmon
leafs cents is spent on the radio.
The value of the radio business is
three-fourths of the jewelry bust
ness with its clocks, watches and
novelties. Radio is not fad but a
utility
For this reason the public is vital
ly interested in constructive policies
both national and international,
which encourage the universal use
OF radio communication.
