REPEAL A TAX-AND INCREASE.
TAX REVENUES!

Repeal of the capital gains section of
the income tax law (under which profit on
sales of securities or other capital assets
must be included as income) would in
crease the Federal governments revenue
by approximately $250,00O,OOO annually.
This rather startling opinion comes
from high, informed source-Morris S.
Tremaine, Comptroller of New York
State.
The higher governmental revenues
that would follow repeal of the capital
gains levy, Mr.. Tremaine believes, would
be caused directly by increases in the
turnover tax on securities, which is now
discouraged because security holders re-
fuse to sell and be taxed excessively on
capital gains; and indirectly as a result of
widespread business pickup and reemploy-
ment, if capital gain could be taken with
out penalty and used for new develop
ments. Repeal of the levy would put
stop to the heavy current exodus of AM
erican capital into foreign markets. 1t is
authoritatively estimated that American
money is going into Canada alone at the
rate of $1,000,00O a day-because inves-
tors find it necessary to escape the capital
gains tax, which becomes excessively bur-
densome in the upper brackets.
1t is reported that there is a strong
movement underway in Congress to repeal
the levy, and bill to this end will come
up for consideration. The great bulk of
economists are of the opinion that the levy
has almost no virtues-and that it does
have long list of serious vices. It's repeal
would thaw out millions of dollars of in
active capital, cause major upturn in
construction, increase government income.
and help solve the grave unemployment
problem by encouraging private activity
Congressman who will lead the movement
to repeal or amend this dangerous levy are
rendering distinct public service.

THE FOURTH BRANCH OF
GOVERNMENT

In recent address, Bernard F. Wea-
dock, managing director of the Edison
Electric Institute, discussed the Fourth
Branch of Government
Under the Constitution, we have
three branches of government, each with
delegated duties and powers-the Elk
ecutive, the Legislative and the Judicial
The fourth branch has no name-but it
might aptly be termed the Bureaucratic
branch. It consists of a long list of quasi
judicial bureaus and commissions which
have not only been empowered to adj
minister properly passed laws, but in
many instances exert law-making func-
ton of their own.
The American Bar Association states
that there are about 1900 separate in
stances of transfer to enact laws from
Congress to Administrative agencies, and
that there are ~ Federal tribunals, exer-
cising judicial power in 267 classes of
cases. This fourth branch of government
exerts its authority over great industries
and affects the lives and livelihood of
millions of citizenS-yet it is hidden, and
many citizens have never heard of it.
The growth of this power-seizing
bureaucracy Is one of the most dangerous
developments of the times. In the inter-
est of democracy, of liberty, of true Con-
stitutional government, the fourth branch
of government must be bridled and con-
trolled.

Machinery would be devised to pre-
vent the preparation Of platform at
conventions by politicians and politi-

the political party would have with
respect to the platform would be Its
determination to adhere without COM
promise to those policies which the
best experts can devise. Such plat
form would be prepared and pub
lished months in advance of politi-
cal convention, and the drafters OF
each plank would be made public.

press services and propaganda de.
vices would not under any circum.
stances be tolerated.
IL. Disinterested and high-minded
craftsmanship would replace the ma
neuvers of politicians. The manifes-

to the personal benefit of any govern
ment official would provide the basis
for his censure, or removal, or ostra-
cism.

human progress lies in the direction
of plenty, not scarcity; in social
peace, not dissension; in enlarged
freedom for the development of in

hasty and m-prepared legislation

success of a social system rests upon

would be recognized that class strug-
