.POLITlCE VS.. ECONOMICS

The Washington politicians would
have us believe that they have found
in this election year, a painless"
tax; that they are going to sock
business and leave the rest of us
alone.
That sounds awfully good. We all
realize that a $4,000, 600. 900 Federal
debt must be paid sometime and,
naturally we are quite willing for
the other fellow to pay Il. But let's
look into this thing a little.
Stiff taxes on mill that makes
overalls do not seem to bother any
body but the mills manager. Yet
when the taxes are levied, the overall
mill manager has three courses be-
fore him:
HE can reduce the profits paid
to stockholders.
2.-He can cut the wages of work
ers in the mill.
3.-He can pass the tax along to
the man who buys the overalls.
People won't invest money In one
plant that pays them only 2 per cent
when they can get or some place
else, so the first alternative is out.
Actually there is only one source
OF revenue-the customer. Already,
though he may not know it, the aver
age individual is working two days
a week to pay the costs of govern
ment He cheers because he pays no
income taxes. But his loaf of bread
bears SO taxes before he eats it.
The insidiOus thing is that voters !
make no real squawk about the fritz |
ering away of billions so long as |
hey do not realize they are prOvid- !
ng the money, And the money frit- l
o admit that everybody pays the bill.
erers are afraid. for the time being

new TAXES WITHOUT ECONOMY
Make CONGRESS JTTTERY
Congress LOath To Increase Burden On People Unless
President win Slow Down On Spending.


The true sentiment Of many a mar
in Congress, irrespective Of politics
was voiced BY Senator W. Warren
Barbour OF New Jersey, Republican
when be said.
In listening to the Presidents
message on taxation / heard nothing
about curtaiiing waste and exlrava-
gance. / heard nothing about any
proposed curtaibnent OF boondog-
Cling. ] heard nothing about reduc-
ing commissions and bureaus.
heard nothing about making another
try at collecting at least something
on the foreign debts.
81 have heard nothing about how
much remains Of the S3,300.O00.0 900
and S4,sSO,O00,O 900 work-felief appro-
priations. have heard nothing
about when, where and how such
part Of the huge authorizations as
have been spent, were spent. And I
certainly hear nothing about what
ever is left, which IS plenty. which
need not be spent between now and
election day except for political pur-
poses.
"There is much more that must be
explained before shall feel It my
duty to pass on to the taxpayers Of
the nation any such burden as Is
contained in this proposal or any
other proposal until I have all the
facts and really know what am do
Ing.
''I.et us balance the budget by all |
means. I will vote for the necessary |
Iaxes to do so and the American
people will pay the price; but let us |
make sure we are really buying a
balanced budget"
Milford chronicle., 1936-04-24

There is a growing belief IN Con-
gress that there is little Justice in
imposing new taxes upon the people
at this time 10 meet the mounting
costs Of relief unless the President.
at the same time, begins to econo-
mize and slows down the reckless
spending that has marked the first
three years Of his Administration.
The suspicion that billion or more
Of new taxes for relief purposes are
not justified grows out Of the fact
that the President himself, in ac-
counting to Congress for the $4,S80,-
100000 relief appropriation OF last
session, laid bare the fact that on
January 1, 1896, there still remained
unspent, and at his command. some-
thing more than $4,000, 900, 900.
Thinking men in Congress are loath
to believe that additional billions
should be appropriated when the
President still has on hand this gi-
gantic balance.
The idea Of levying new taxes inn
mediately before the election natur- 1
ally is Tepugnant to those in Con-
gress who must face the voters next /
There is, nevertheless, |
an almost universal conviction that (
the curse of new and higher taxes I
might be tempered if the President, I
while insisting on more taxes, would
slow down on the outpouring Of bill
lions, much Of It for boondOggling,
and still more for salaries for many
thousands of hand-picked white-col-
ared Democrats who. with adequate
backing, have been able to
iecure lucrative administrative
obs" under WPA and other spend
ng AGENCIES.

courts was not TO be taken as a con
firmatiOn Of its validity.

The chief difficulty with the Sen
ate Lobby Committees subpoena is
/ that they have not particularized or
shown how the Information sought Is
pertinent TO an inquiry or how the
proposed legislation on which infor-
nation is sought comes within the
constitutional power Of the Senate.
Thus there is no power in the Sen
ate or IN the House or IN both to-
gether 10 pass any laws abridging or
curtailing the freedom OF the press.
Inference In the communication be-
tween publisher and correspondent
and the making public Of private
messages relating to the editorial
conferences Of newspaper men is
plainly an attempt at abridgement Of
the freedom Of the press. The pros
poets are that an issue OF real mag
nitude will come out OF the seizure
Of the kilograms. II Is rumOred that
President Roosevelt Is not IN SYM
pathy with what the Senate Lobby |
Committee has done, but, on the /
other hand, he has not manifested
any interest. 50 far as is publicly
known, in the alleged violations of
Federal law by members Of the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Il would seem probable that the
over the right OF privacy
OF telegraphic messages would en-
gage the interest Of citizens general
Iy. especially when. in the face Of
Federal court decision. use Is made
BY members Of the Senate OF tele-
grams which have been obtained by
means Of the same subpoena that
vas declared BY court m another
Instance 70 be faulty.
