prices dropped business earn

News Behind the News
- About Construction Tax

WASHINGTON-The possibility of
emption from the capital gains tax for profits
made new housing construction has become
considerably stronger since these dispatches first
reported that this device for stimulating
building boom being considered by the ad-
ministration.
Into the secret discussions of this proposal
has come the further suggestion of tying it up
with a move to deprive the income from gov
ernment securities Of its taX-eXempt status
Sentiment for this step has been growing for
a long time and it is argued that it would
divert billions of dollars, now in taX-exemptS
because they're taX-eXempt into construction
if profits in that field were now to be freed
from income tax.
There is some fear as to the effect on the
government bond market and the Supreme Court
would have to reverse an old decision if it were
to hold that income from government bonds
was subject to income tax
Proponents of government stimulation of a
private capital housing boom piling up
arguments.
The unemployment census is expected to show
that among skilled workers over As who can't
get jobs by far the largest groups will be build
ing trades workers. huge house building boom
would serve "a useful social purpose and amel-
orate bad housing shortage 1t would absorb
the unemployed, both directly and indirectly,
as in the steel and lumber industries.
The government has put couple of hundred
million dollars into housing. much of which
must be charged off to experience-or expert
ment.
The private housing industry is developed
by large entrepreneurs who prefer quick turn
over. It's proposed to limit the capital gains
exemption to profits made within two years
and it's hoped that enough building would be
stimulated to keep profits down to a fair level
which might make many of the properties
purchasabe by limited dividend corporations.
Meanwhile the atmosphere of peace and
cooperation" between Nathan StrauS, admins
traitor of the new U. S. Housing Authority and
Secretary Ickes, whose 350O0000 PWA hous-
ing program the USHA will take over in addi-
ton to its half-billion dollar loan
subsidy program. is so surcharged that every
one expects some hot smoke if not actual flame.
Ickes has general supervision over Straus
under the Wagner Housing act, but Straus has
the powers-appointment approval and expen-
diture. IckeS insisted he Would't take Straus
administrator and thumped the tub for his
own PWA housing director Howard A Gray
Senator Wagner insisted he wanted Straus Wag-
backed by many local housing officials
and other experts who opposed what they knew
would be complete Ickes control Of the new
program.
Now Straus is acting with cocky ndepen-
dence obviously intendirO to work ont his own
policies with his own advisers. The Ickes grow
is predicting bad headaches fer Straus
and betting that it will take him three times as
long to get some construction started as he
thinks it will, which is about three months.

Dollars Put
People to Work

when dollars go to work, men go to
work, and when dollars quit working,
men quit working!" Compressed to the
core, such was the gist of the hard-hit-
ting words Gen. Johnson spoke into the
microphone the other night.
Here in California the furious rum
bic of the East's steel furnaces, the busy
whir of textile mill dynamos, the jubi-
liant clatter of the foundries, doesn't
smite our ears sharply, yet we know the
rhythmic hum of the big machines, we'll
stated with manpower, gives a drive
to everyOne's purchasing power. Dollars
are at work, producing goods, making
jobsi
Just now that drive is stacking off.
The Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System reports a decline in the
number employed at textile mills, shoe
factories, and lumber mills, during Au-
gust and September, although an in
crease is usual at this season.
The dollars needed to put men to
work are lacking here. Pessimists will
picture jobless men, sludging through
winters snow, on a hopeless, endless
quest for work. Optimists, without put
tig on rainbow-tinted glasses, can face
the picture more realistically. They will
suggest that in businesses, like railroads,
where dollars are lacking, proper means
be Immediately found of wiping out the
lag in their recovery.
The public, for example, will gain far
more from the stimulating effect on bus
mess which would follow restoration
of railway credit than moderate increas-
es in freight rates will cost them. If, as
it has been estimated, there are fully
80 million people with a financial in
terest in the railroad industry alone, q
reasonable advance in rates would go
log way toward achieving what we
all want to see
