NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THAT TALK ON TAXES

A gentle criticism of the Presidents speech at
Arthurdale on taxes is that several OF ITS state
ments of fact were incorrect. As Senator harri-
tenderly suggested, the President was perhaps
msinformed by treasury Officials
A new phrase appeared-taXes on increase oil
wealth. as though, under the Constitution, that Is
taxable Such is not the fact. Income only IS
taxable. If man owns a herd, its natural increase
is not taxable until he sells it and changes his M
crease in wealth into income
The ineauity in principle of any capital gains
tax is that man may work for years on book
a herd. business--and receive no income 1t he
then sells it at profit that may be increase IN

in single year instead of the deferred income OF
several years of effort. The fear of that chlils
business and delays saes-the swift and constant
turnover of what We call good business, 1t Is
neither accurate, logical fair and 1t Is one
cause retarding recovery The President dldh {
tell his hearers about that. His illustrations were
misleading and needlessly provocative of envy and
class hatred
Opening with references to human misery at
Scots Run, the speech attacked the tax bill as
device to prevent Huey Long "share-our-
wealth program. Unless we are to change our
economic system to a form of communism there
can be no recovery unless money can be invested
to make money. That is the economic system un-
der which we became great. The old tax law pre-
vented money from being invested to make money
1t didn't share wealth and lift up the average
income. 1t shared our poverty and degraded the
average income
The speech suggested that the old tax structure
Soaked the rich" The truth is that our tax sys-

more than the rich. There is hardly an article of
common consumption from bread to brandy, in
which the tax element of cost is not about 90 per

BUSINESS AND THE NEW DEAL

This is the record. These are the facts. Add
them up and the talk about business "co-operation"
with Mr. Roosevelt insults the intelligence. He is
swayed by advisers who have neither sympathy for
nor concern about business conditions; whose dis
position is to continue the harassment of business
who have no belief in the American system; who
against any move toward normal recovery;
whose direction is toward totalitarian state in
which industry as well as agriculture will be

This isn't exaggeration 1t isn't craftsmanship

ing truth, which, because of variety of reasons
has failed to penetrate fully to the people. No
one can talk privately with these gentlemen or
who reads the greasy effusons of their journalistic
mouthpeces can doubt that they do not want bust

pose to permit it. 1t is shocking thing that such
men should be in position to influence the PreSi-

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

! Although IVA produces elec-
tricity under conditions different
from those of private companies,
it sells the juice at from 6 to 7
mills a kilowatt hour. Private
power companies often sell to
municipalities at such rate.
But the yardstick has entered
the picture when IVA persuaded
municipalities receiving IVA
power to cut rates to consumers
in order to increase sales and
make more money.
THE case of Erie Railroad VS..
l. Tompkins has taken its place
among the Supreme Courts his
toric decisions, reversing as it did
the 96-year-old Swift VS.. Tyson
decision which permitted federal
courts to ignore state court de-
ciSionS.
In the TompkinS case the Court
voluntarily renowned much of its
previously assumed right to make
state law by judicial decision and
made it far more difficult for cor
porations to defeat progressive
state legislation by taking it to
federal courts. 1880
But Washington newspapermen
generally didn't get the signifi-
canoe of the Tompkins decision
at the time. A little press-agentry
by Justice Harlan Fiske Stone was
responsible for a flood of belated
publicity. Stone was seated at a
dinner party next a prominent
Washington woman who got talk
ing about the Courts AAA de-
CiSion.
"Huh!" said Stone in effect,
that wasn't anywhere near as
significant as that Tompl1ins case
we decided the other day, to
which no one paid any attention"
Soon afterward the woman
phoned couple of newspaper
friends the tip. And that's the
way big news sometimes gets
around in Washington.

THE DRAWN-OUT WAR THE
BELLICERENTS' BoGEY
BY BRUCE CATION

..... . -.. by BRUCE CAL lON
The wars in Spain, China and elsewhere
make dreary and Misunderstanding reading,
but they have performed one light and re-
fpeshing service. They have shown, once
again, that the military big-wigs and self
elected authorities on strategy don't really
know what they are talking about.
Net long after the World War these
gentlemen began to sing new Song-or,
more precisely, new verse to a very old
song. They assured us that there never
would be another long drawn-out war like
the one which began in 1914. The Of
tense they said, had become too powerful.
So we began to hear about the irresistible
things which attacking armies would do
hereafter. ....
First. there were airplanes. They would
come out of the sky in Swarms, raining i'm
mediate and complete destruction on every
city, hamlet and filling station in their
path. Nothing could stop them; neither
anti-aircraft guns, hostile flyers, bad
weather or poor craftsmanship. One quick
swoop and it would be all over.
Then there We're the tanks. No longer
would few machine gun nests be able to
hold up an entire division. The tanks
would go wading right through, and the
infantry would saunter along after them
and pick up the pieces. There just wouldn't
be any stopping EN-.
Lastly, there were the infantry attacks.
Mechanical armies would move swiftly,
striking with the speed and force of thun-
derbolts.. Armies wouldn't, have time to
dig in; the war would inevitably be ended
before any long trench lines like those of
the World War could be formed.
All of this was Solemnly promised a
waiting world. And then The wars in China
and Spain got under way and put the theo-
rists to the, test.
SO what happened? So the tragic, cost
Iy story of the World War got repeated
all over again. There were new weapons,
10 be sure, and new tactics; but the ire
sistible offenSiveS somehow failed to de-
velop, andt the long agony of Madrid stands
as living proof that siege warfare today is
Just about what is was 20 years ago.
Now 1t may be little hard to see lust
where the world is any better off this way
than 1t would be if the boasts of the theor-
lists had been borne out. Yet in very real
sense the world is lucky that things have
worked out as they have. --
1t Just happens that the beligerent ma
tons are precisely the ones which could
not.stand long wars They wouldn't mind
fighting, but they'd have to wind things
up IN hurry, for they haven't got what it
takes to go on fighting year after year.
And because it is becoming more and more
obvious that any war is likely to be long
one, the worlds chance of lodging another
war is measurably brighter
If it were possible to win wars quickly
and get them over with, the worlds peace
would be much less secure.
