labor demands as business improves in the coming year. The violence of recent strikes and the unreasonable ness of previous demands will not be generally repeated" MT. Heimann states.
 Besides the possible increase in labor costs, industry may reasonably look forward to a heavier rather than a lighter tax bill. AS to divi- dends, the increased labor and tax items imply possibly lower rather than higher dividends in 1939."
 Discussing the new years business trend, the credit executive declares that "the effect of the recent lend ing-spending program may well be gone before 1889 is over. If so, we will face another difficult situation around the end of the year.
 "There is, of course, no hope of balancing the budget in 1889. The demands by pressure groups for greater expenditures will continue. There is hope, however, that more conservative Congress will be deaf to most of these demands. Reduc- tion of governmental expenditures will be practically non-existent be- cause of the increased outlay that will be demanded for the rearma- ment program.
 Tn its militarization program Europe has mustered out its army of unemployed by diverting it to de- fense industries 1889 will witness some of the same type of shift in this country but to a lesser degree. Let us hope, however, that we do not attempt to solve our unemploy- ment problem in this way.
 Decentralize Relief
 'That there is dissatisfaction with our present method of handling the unemployment problem is evident from the recent election returns. Ef- forts will be made to decentralize the present setup. Perhaps it is too much to expect that this effort will be wholly successful.
 "In all likelihood, . compromise policy will be adopted at the first session of Congress, by which the executive will be given less freedom
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-19

of action and appropriations will be more specifically. The poll- tical pressure against decentraliza- tions is the strongest barrier against turning relief back to the state and their political sub divisions.
 Social Security and Politics
 Social Security has worthy ob- jective. But in some respects 1t IS degenerating into a political pork barrel. The showing of the $50 every Thursday and similar groups in various states in the past election will secure a compromise. Social Se- curity benefits will be increased. Many legislators do not seem to un- derstand that compromise in this matter simply adds stimulus to ad- ditional demands by these groups.
 'It should also be kept in mind that these Social Security payments, by business and by employees, con- stitute another form of taxation. In the aggregate they can become serious barrier to sound recovery, thus contributing to unemployment pTOplcIu dIlQ BcllCId1 4AoCCu4AUys
 Public Directors
 "1939 will see impetus given to the stabilization of employment by busi- ness firms. This will be a steady in- fiuence. The public interest will also be served by the addition of so- called public directors to large cor porations to represent minority stockholders, consumers and labor. Labor will have more to say in the conduct of future business. Wage earnerS with sound views will con- tribute greatly to better capital labor relationship.
 Finally, what the nation really needs in 1899 is reasonable prosper ity in all of its territory except one part. There is a real need for a de- precision in the city of Washington, D. 0. By this I mean the need of a reduction of the government payroll, a check to the government building expansion program and bar to the concentration of power in Washing ton. It is not expected that this will take place at once but 1899 may see the rate of growth of bureaucracy considerably retarded. This, in it. self, would be hopeful sign."

Hidden Tax Campaign
 Becomes Nationwide
39 Communities in State Join Movement to Protect
 Consumer TempletOn Files Report

Moving steadily ahead in their campaign to "expose hidden taxes that penalize the consumer" women in 39 Connecticut communities have formed local groups to add their forces to the nationwide crusade of the National Consumers Tax Commission, it was reported today.
 Aroused home makers, business and professional women and civic, welfare and club leaders III cities and towns throughout the state also are planning commission units to join the education crusade, the NCTC report said.
 The report was made public through Mrs. Charles A. Templeton, of this city, national committee member, and Miss Emily Louise Plumley, of Glenbrook, state direc- tor. National headquarters is in Chicago.
 Some taxes, of course, are neces- sary for government maintenance" !" the report stated. ''The primary aim of the commission is for non- political study of taxes to sort out those that are duplicated and un- necessary and do not give back to the community in proportion to what they take out.
 Hidden taxes are pyramided on every article we buy, from the pro- ducer through the manufacturer, shipper, wholesaler and retailer. The result is an increase in price to the consumer sufficient to cover these levies. Commission surveys show indirect taxes produce 63 per cent of all revenues raised by local, state and national governments"
