NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WASHINGTON ALTERNATIVE?

Since Messrs Umstead and Lambeth gave no ex-
PLANTATION of their retirement from congress, other
than general preference for the private life, 1t was
to be expected that the political commentators
would attempt to fill the void; and that expecta-
ton has materialized with congestion.
Non-expert that it is, the Daily News finds ltselt
keenly interested in the reasons behind these re-
trements not in spirit of curiosity as to the plans
of the two representatives involved interference
with that privacy which they obviously prefer but
in their application to the political conditions and
movements which obtain and which are ineXtrlcably
related to democratic processes and their preserVa-
ton. Incisve comment, it seems to us, is this eX-
tract taken from our own Washington bureaus re-
port, tying in with the previous Umstead announce
ment, of the Lambeth deciSion
Decisions like the one just announced by the
North Carolina member never easy Tor man
in public life to make but there inevitably arrives
the moment when q member must determine whetn-
er an indefinite stay here conforms to his real oe
sire and interests. The man able to extract the
maximum degree of satisfaction from life IN the
house and senate at this juncture in our nationai
affairs is the man who finds no difficulty IN con-
forming to the developments, frequently strange
and battling, of each new day, and who hnds the
salary mileage and clerk hire enduring attrac-
ton.
With that cue available, let US ask ourselves as
citizens, whose fate is the highest stake, wheth-
er conditions in Washington have reached the point
where intellectual honesty and party loyalty pre-
sent conflict so hopeless of solution that genu-
inely statesmanlke legislator especially If ne nap
pens to be q southern Democrat nurtured IN GER
tain traditions, ideals and PHILOSOPHERS, has no al
tentative other than sef-efacement or political sui
eide The cases of Messrs. Umstead and Lambeth
represent the individual approach. But the lndl-
vdual approach becomes the general and MAJOR run
in itself when the test which they had to face IS
applied to the whole congress and more especially
as il affects what has heretofore been the presefV
ing link of the Democratic party in the solid SOUTH
Is the south, with the party that it has nurtured
through its most trying periods now IN complete
control at Washington, any more of political en-
tity than it has ever been? Is the new deal the
Democratic party? What of the south, what of It's
statesmen what of its problems and its deeply I'M
bedded tenets?
Congressman as individuals may retire under the
dilemma But for the state and the section Wn!ch
they represent there be no such dismissal.
They must grope, with all the thought OF whlch
they are capable, their way through the prevailing
chaos Soldering questions these raised by the

THE TAX LIFE OF A CONNECTICUT
YANKEE"

Tho uapazine Life in a recent issue, illustrated
the Mace taxes take in the daily life of Mark j..
Lacey of New Britain Conn., public spirited cltl-
zen who volunteered to be the guinea pig" for the
experiment. The Industrial News Review recltes
the incident
Mr., Lacey is president of a hardware and to"i
manufacturing company which has 1,lOO stock
holders and 500 employees. His salary is S27,Ooo
year. In addition to being one of the 2'ooo'ooo
citizens who pay personal federal income tax, he
is one of the 3.5 per cent of that group who earn
over $4,000 year and who pay Sc per cent OF
the total income tax. He is typical OF that group
of businessmen who keep the wheels turning III IN
dustry to employ the bulk of the nations INDUS
trial wage earners.
Here is the way Life pictures him paying his
principal annual taxes:
Personal federal income tax, $2,0S6. Tax on his
home, 1865. On each of 1925 packs OF cigarettes
a federal tax of 6 cents pack, $l1O. Liquor Tor
business entertaining, though temperate mmsen'
81 cents quart federal tax, STA. One-cent gal
lon federal tax on gas $26. Theater admissions
tax, s45 Club dues tax, $40. Toilet preparations
tax, $40.
In the fiscal year 1887, his company earned
$4,000 taxable income paid S5o,ooo IN olree'
federal taxes, and local and state taxes OF Sz9,-
900, or total of $S7, 900. While his company
sales rose 26 per cent over 1885, its taxes rose 80
per cent.
Life further pictured where some of Mr. Laeeys
tax money went:
Government employees got 1887 of it; WPA re-
Eefers s567; war veterans, $1s5; social security
$50 of which Mr. Lacey pays on himself and an
additional S32 for social security deficit; puohc
works, 1888; federal road funds, $50; national
defense $685. He paid SAP into the s45o'ooo'-
600 pot for the farmers. The public debt has IN
creased to such point-$37, Ooo, Ooo,ooo -that
Mr. Lacey pays $500 for interest alone on 1t.
1t would look like the government and all the
people had very direct interest In encouraging
industry in the nation both large and small II 1or
no other reason than to have sources able TO pay
the staggering tax burdens of government today

V7ASHINGTON.-It is now clear
w enough that "little business
men," although Sorely confused,
pattern after the "big business
men" in their economic thinking.
At the never-to-be-torgotten
conference which nearly a thou
sand of the former group attend
ed in Washington it became OBJ
vious that some of them arrive
al similar conclusions independ-
entity and that others just par
rot the headlines.
But the boys did deliver a ter
rife wallop to any idea Roosevelt
had that he could get any strong
supporter any new ideas
from small business.
Through all the cat-calls, con-
Aict and turmoil nothing stood out
more distinctly than the Wistful
yen of small business for a return
to the dear old days of Calvin
Coolidge. Various delegates es-
timated that from 80 to e5 per
cent of their group had voted for
Landon in 1886.
1t seems likely that the little
business men" and their rec
concentrations, most of which i'm
piled criticism OF New Deal aims
and legislation, will have little if
any effect.
The demonstrated solidarity of
business is being used by the
Presidents conservative advisers
to influence him. But his liberal
advisers are using the fiasco as

A POLITICAL PUZZLE


One North Carolina Congressman Will
quit in order to offer for the Senate. That
is a course often taken by politicians ana
excites comment but no wonder or amaze
ment When that action is followed, now
ever, by announcement of two Congress
men that they propose to quit Congress
and have no intention of trying to get other
offices, amazement is a word that only
mildly describes the state of bewilderment
of their fellow Carolinians..
Here is the riddle, however, cast into the
political ring for public consideration by
Congressman Umstead and Lambeth. They
are going to quit, in spite of the fact that
the chances of both to be reelected are
said to be good. In fact, it is asserted that
Lambeth could return to Washington with
out opposition; and there is probably no
citizen of his district who could defeat
Umstead.
What is the answer? Especially in view
of the fact that in making announcement
of their retirement Congressman Umstead
and Lambeth failed to give any impressive
reasons for their action.
At present the public, of course, has
nothing much on which to base conclu-
.sions, but the passing of time may supply
information now lacking.
: The Washington correspondent OF The
Charlotte Observer hints that Umstead
and Lambeth are leaving Washington be-
cause they are Disguised with conditions
there and in the national government, are
opposed to many of Roosevelt's policies,
and desire to take an independent and
unfettered position where, when the OPP
perfume time arrives, they can express hon.
est convictions and be free to oppose new
,dealism.
The views of the Washington common
tator may or may not be correct. This
same correspondent makes the prediction
that around % more or less conservative
Democratic Congressman and Senators will
follow the lead of Umstead and Lambeth
by announcing their retirement from ma
tional politics before the primaries. They
are men of the stamp of the North Caro-
lima Congressman. They are fed up" on
new deahsm and prefer retirement to con-
tinuation of their service in an administra-
ton they regard as neither Democratic or
safe for the country.
This newspaper knows nothing on the
subject except what is being submitted to
the public by this gentleman and other
political commentators. These gentlemen
may be right or wrong in their estimate of
the motives impelling our North Carolina
Congressman to quit national politics. 1t
will be dangerous for the country, how
ever, if even fairly conservative national
representatives throw up their hands and
quit, unless the people of their districts
show the good sense and judgment to see
to it that men of similar character and
sanity succeed them in office.
Congressman Umstead and Lambeth are
men of character, integrity and ability.
They have swallowed lot of new deal
stuff that, no doubt, made them sick; but
they can't stand it Indefinitely. 1t would
be tragic if their attempt to escape this
political slavery resulted in the election as
their successors of couple of typical new
deal congressman. i
