Railroad Income Tax
Concession Favored
By Three Senator'S
Interest Burden Would
Be Reduced Under
Proposal
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
One OF the principal relief
measures urged for The rail in
dustry is reduction of the fired
charges Which require a large
portion OF their d1Uindling req
enueS. In some instances rec
ommendation has come from the
T. Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for ,Diping out the equity
OF common stockholders; re-
financing of bonded indebted
ness also has been reSorted to.
BY the Associated Press.
Three Senate Finance Committee
members said today they favored
helping the railroads reduce their
interest burden under plan in
volving income tax concessions.
Such a proposal was Incorporated
In the 1888 tax bill as it passed the
Senate, but House objections elm
mated II.
Under the plan the Government
would waive income taxes on any
paper profits which might result
when the railroads bought their own
securities at less than par.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan said he thought the
proposal might 60 long way toward
enabling the railroads to reduce in
terest charges on long-term obliga-
) tions.
Called Possible Way Out.
Senator Herring, Democrat. OF
Iowa called it "a possible way out
I of the railroad problem" and Sem
ator King, Democrat, of Utah said
he would support it if there was a
safeguard to preserve private oper-
alton of the carriers.
On the other hand, Senator Tru-
man, Democrat, of Missouri, a
member of the Railroad Finance
Investigating Committee, expressed
doubt the proposal was practical
He said most of the carriers could
not obtain funds for such purchases
Leo M. Cherne, executive secretary
of the Tax Research Institute OF
America, suggested to the Senate
Profit Sharing Committee that rail-
roads be permitted to purchase their
outstanding lnterest-bearing obllga-
tions during 1889 and 1910 without
incurring income tax liability
Senator Vandenberg called the
proposal absolutely sound"
Suggests New Bond Issues.
"You and l." he said, "can go into
the market and buy railroad securl-
ties for 20 cents on the dollar. When
the railroad does that, though, it has
to pay income tax on the 80 cents
paper profit that it makes
Senator Vandenberg suggested
some of the railroads could float new
bond issues to finance the purchase
of their old securities if the tax were
removed.

Holiday Pay Denied
Temporary Workers
Under Ruling
Elliott Holds Different
Wage Status Prevails
With Law Change

Different pay rules apply to per-
manent and temporary employees on
a per diem or hourly basis. under the
new law doing away with grathty
pay, Acting Controller General
Elliott has decided.
The issue, raised by the Secretary
Of War, involved the right Of en-
ployes to be paid for a holiday oc-
curing in period when they were
on leave with pay.
Permanent employees and those
temporary employees regularly on a
5-day, 40-hour week basis, are en-
titled to pay under such circum-
stances, Mr.. Elliott said. Where
temporary workers actually would
have been on duty only four days
however, he said, they could not be
paid for the leave day.
Gratuity pay formerly was pay
able on several holidays to per diem
and hourly workers even though
they fell on what ordinarily would
not be work days.
In another decision, to the Civil
Service Commission, the acting con-
troller general held that employees
separated from the service under
certain conditions this year are not
required to reimburse the Govern
ment from retirement funds for
advance leave taken in 1887.
The excepted cases are those
arising from death, retirement for
age or disability, reduction of force
or when an employe not eligible for
retirement, is unable to return to
duty because of disability.
The commission asked for a ruling
because, it was said, questions had
arisen as result of the new leave
rules effective January l last.

THE WAY OF DICTATORSHIP

One of the outstanding lessons the
world has learned from relationships is
this: No dictator can force himself into
power and stay there so long as his people
retain free speech and free, uncensored,
newspapers
Hitler, Mussolini Stain, and all of
their lesser imitators learned that. But
now Hitler, fresh from his Austrian con-
quest, is irritated by comments of news
papers in free countries. So he proposes
international treaties establishing official
government control of all newspapers.
What he means is this: You see that
your newspapers say only nice things
about me ard III do the same for you"
Up speaks Dr. Carl w. Alderman,
Dean of the Pulitzer School of Journalism
at Columbia University, a lifelong student
of newspapers and their problems and
duties. After pointing out that such a
treaty would require amendment of the
American Constitution. he adds:
Il consider these developments so
ominous that think the foreign press
policy of the German government should
he fully explained and earnestly studied
If governmental control of the printed and
spoken word is requirement of peace
with Germany, we should know the condi-
tions now and not later
Hitier's plan doubtless suits some
Americans United States Senator said
in radio speech the other day that 9S
per cent of Americas city newspapers are
biased. What he meant was that they did
not agree with him
How different he is from Voltaire
who once said: While might not agree
with what you say | shall defend To- the
death your right 10 say il -
Americans doubtless will agree with
their own Constitution and with Voltaire

KEY VESTS OPPORTUNITY

Opportunity is knocking at hey west
door. She should be welcomed with open
arms and treated with such kindness and
consideration she will not turn away in
search of a more hospitable doorstep
Some Florida cities made the early mis-
take, when they had an opportunity SIM
liar to Key Vests, of resisting the inroads
az progress. Today they are bankrupt and
bemOaning their fate. Others took adj
vantage of the influx of men and women
eager to make Investments. Today those
cities are prosperous and healthy finan-
cially
Key Westers should take a sane view
of their changed economic outlook. Key
West no longer is isolated from the main
land. She is easily reached over one Of
the most magnificent scenic highways in
the world. She will attract countless thou
sands of visitors in the next few years.
She will be the mecca of every motorist
and every trailerite seeking the end of the
road. Much will depend upon how VIC
treat these newcomers.
The more that come the greater the
number that will stay here. Some will
want to build homes, to settle down to en-
joy our balmy breeZes, our fishing and the
peace of law-abiding community. Others
will stay with a view of investing a few
of their idle dollars so they can be busy
while enjoying their surroundings. There
will be number of fly-by-night land spec
ulators and blue sky promoters.
The home builders, the men with
money to invest should be given every as
sistance, every encouragement. Property
owners should not be exhorbitant in their
demands If prices are too high, let us say
approximating what might be fair level
five years hence, the real investors will
leave the city in disgust. Since it is their
money they are investing, and Key West
sorely needs outside capital, they want to
be sure of a reasonable profit in a few
years. If they leave here in disgust every
one loses. ~ ntt' ef'
On the other hand, give them land at
fair prices and they will make their in
vestments Those investments will pro-
vide jobs for some of our idle citizens, a
greater volume of business for our mer-
chants and taxes for our city to maintain
the necessary public services. 1t is the
sure road to sound growth and financial in
dependence for all of us. We believe this
is the conviction of every responsible citi-
oan opd businessman in Kev West Niei-
