Didn't Like 1t

Even the progressive element didn't
like that. But they did not give up.
And they might have won their fight
at that and Mr.. Ickes might hive
purred over another "soundly placed"
public works project But there was
more trouble to come, the sort Of trou-
BILE that Is always magnified In exactly
inverse ratio to the size OF commu-
nlty--the agonized yelps Of taxpayers
afraid of higher assessments
For 1t was suddenly realized by these
gentlemen-and ladies, for there are
lot OF widows owning property
around Colebronk. that Uncle Sam was
only giving as per cent of the money.
Fifty-fve per cent would have to be
raised by the local taxpayers. In short
that there would have to be a bond
issue and they would have to pay the
interest and sinking fund for this Issue
for the next Is or 20 years. For the
rest Of their lives, as most Of them
saw It.
| All for what?
| To have n new road through their
township, which would bring In tour
lists which only the merchants wanted
that would bring a flock of "alIens" if
| to work on the road. and destroy ths
simple pastoral touch Of which thu
community boasts, and finally would
chop off corner of their historic
| church. And only two unemployed
| persons In the township. neither O
whom, opponents confidently asserted
could. be induced to so much ns lool
at a pick or shovel In connection will

So the town suddenly DISCOVERIES
that Connecticut had long and pride
full history OF Independence, that |
was not becoming for Colebrook, prou
of Its own and Nutmeg traditions, t
accept charity from the federal gov
eminent. And the proposal was turne
down.

Why Ickes Worries

1--WE have only two unemployed per.
sons, and they have been unemployed
for 80 years
That crushing answer, made by the
little town OF Colebrook, way up In
northwestern Connecticut, near the
Massachusetts line, Is one Of the rea-
sons why Harold l.. Ickes' gray hair
Is getting thinner. Why the public
works part OF his activities seems to
be begging down. Why some admins
tratIon officials are wondering II 1t
would not have been better-providing,
of course, the White House had thought
of 1t first--to let Carter Glass OF Vir-
glnia, Alva Adams OF Colorado and
other senator's have their way about
substituting two billions OF doles for
four billions of work relief.
But that is not the only problem
which is worrying Secretary Of the In
| terror Ickes-and the White House
and which Is illustrated by Colebrook.
| When the word first got round that
| Colebrook could have big grant OF
| federal money for fine new road
| there was much excitement round and
| about the village. The progressive
| element was all for It. 1t would mean
| the spending Of money-and prosper
| ity.
But opposition was not slow In show
4 hnr ~ ~
chants might want more customers
but the summer residents did not
want lot OF workmen messing the

road, that would cause many auto tour
lists to stop off, make purchases, at leasI
buy meals. But the folks who have
been the mainstay OF the communit,
for generation, living up there or
| money made elsewhere, did not wan
the tourists trouplng through, did no
want the flavor of the old communit,
spoiled" In short wanted to keel
things just as they were.
But the Progressives did not give up
They kept on fighting Then suddenl,
1t was discovered that the money 81
kindly rendered by Mr.. Ickes would In
volve using a new road plan approve,
by the state highway commission. Thi
would necessitate cutting corner OF
the beautiful and historic old chnrcl
which is the center Of the whole Cole
brook legend.

Using Wrong Tactics

Whereupon Business. following the
tactics of long ago, attempts to fight II
through the United States Chamber OF
Commerce and the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, neither OF
which can scare representative from
doubtful district. or worry a New
York senator.
Just why Business In general does
not take leaf from the amazing sue
cess which attended the letter writing
campaign of public utility stockholders
Is hard to figure. Not because this let
ter writing campaign really did the
utilities much good The final bill is
tough enough on the holding compa-
MES almost to suit Roosevelt.
The significant fact is that this letter
writing campaign resulted In ITO ma
jorIty In the house OF representatives
for precisely what the letter writer's
demanded. The fact that the letter
writer's did not demand enough really
to save their bacon Is not Of conse-
quence In this connection. They got
what they asked for-from the house.
Enough of them. obviously, can get
what they want any tlme-if they make
1t clear enough. and In time. A couple
of hundred excited stockholders living
In one congressmans district can scare
him to death. But he pays no atten-
Al A. ,o1 a(
atoms. His only concern Is votes In
his district.
This was not so important up to the
new day. In the days when bosses
controlled states. Big Business oper-
ated through them.

New Day in Politics

Maybe Business will come to a reali-
cation that there Is new day In
American politics as we'll az New
Deal In Washington In time to save
itself, but It Is about an even bet
Ii appeared some months back that
the public utilities, long politically the
most stupid aggregation Of successful
men In other fields In America, had
learned at least the elemental rules Of
the new game. But even this demon
stration does not seem to have had
much effect on other business men.
The immediate case In point Is the
administration drive against blgness
exemplified In the sliding scale tax on
corporation income. II 1t were just a
boost In taxes no one except perhaps
| the immediate taxpayers would be In
| terested. But Its avowed object Is a
"better social order"
| Which means that the sliding scale
idea Is just the opening wedge-thai
the present proposed top rate-if tht
administration has Its ways only the
heginning-that the eventual object Il
to make little ones out of big ones.
And "bg ones" does not just near
few enormous corporations such d.
United States Steel, General Motors
American Telephone, etc. 1t include
virtually every corporation big enough
TO have its stock listed on the New
York Stock exchange list. Or on TIL
Curb, for that matter.
The highest proposed rate, 1Tla pc
cent, applies on all corporate incom
In excess of s20,0OO.000. But the mex
lowest rate, II per cent, includes al
corporations with incomes In excess 0

of taxes being reduced on small" col

BY CARTER rIELD-

Washington.-No one knows where
the figure of $4,000. 0oo-first men,
toned In connection with the Presl-
dents tax proposal as the amount GER
tain schedules would ralse-came from.
But II is no secret that while no clever
work had been done in figuring the re-
turns, for they were obviously wrong,
the figure did mean something.
What the figure meant was the estl-
mate of certain brain truster, now
very much In the saddle. OF what the
treasury needed each year In addition
to present revenues.
The reason the figures were so FAR
wrong. In fixing the amount which
those mysterious levles would raise
flor no one has ever admitted parent
hood for the figures either) was that
the administration, after working out
the schedules, did not ask the treasury
to put Its experts on them. The rea-
son for this was not an oversight, but
the fact that Treasury Secretary Nor
genthau had just expressed himself In
such vigorous terms against the tax
proposals being made at that time that
the brain trusters who had won the
Presidents approval hesitated to ask
him.
But LET no one be deceived about
the significance OF the figures, despite
the discrepancy that the rates men
toned do not produce the 100000
The rates were not imagined by en-
terprlsIng newspaper reporters. Nor
was the $34O,OO0OOO. Both were con-
celved inside the administration and
formally given out.
The only advantage of the denials
Is that the administration Is now free
to produce an entirely different set OF
rates. and an entirely different total
and insist that these new figures rep
resent carefully worked out studies Of
the problem. While the Republicans
can never prove that the first figures
were official.
