LIFE DAY BY DAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

the Importance Of the early de-
velopment of mental habits; they
understand the force of establish
ed thought; so they are carefully
educating the youth of their ma
lions in the fundamentals of the
Nazi and Fascist faiths; and they
are shrewdly by process of elm
nation selecting and training the
most likely of the youths for fu-
ture Nazi and Fascist leaders.
The greatest weakness of the
Democracy is it's lack Of properly
trained, capable leadership. What
we in the United States accom-
plish governmentally is by blum
dering through, paying enormous
toll to political inefficiency and
dishonesty. The biggest work in
our nation is the running of our
nation; yet we haphazardly leave
it to amateurs, or to those train
ed in the evil school of that kind
of politics which is now our worst
national curse.
Why should We not take our
Democracy to heart and regard it
with serious, sincere reverence
Why should we not teach our peo-
pie from youth to think about our
kind of government in terms of
patriotic, honest service, and to
regard the person who perverts a
public office as the most con
temptible of traitors, to be scorn'
ed by every decent American?
And since the business of run
ming the United States is the big
gest business in the United States,
employing more persons than any
dozen other businesses put to-
gether, why should we not give
the most likely of our young PEG:
pie who are so disposed careful
training in the operation of our
government, with the constant OBJ
jective in mind of developing
those most capable into compe-
tent, trustworthy leaders? - for
God only knows how desperately
we need them to take the places
of the overwhelming horde of un-
ethical politicians!

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

panie5 paying no dividends 70 per
cent. with intermediate variations
; which, for instance, would cause a
company paying out half its profits
: in dividends to pay l8 per cent.
! Because American corporations,
as general average, pay ,out
about II per cent of profits in
dividends, it is argued that a
larger amount of business is be-
ing soaked under the Senate plan
than under the House bill.
Nevertheless. the charge that
: the Senate plan is soaking small
business for the benefit of big COR
porations which don't pay out
| dividends is fully valid only when
the Importance of a roughly esti-
mated 100000 corporations earn
ing less than $6500--which get a
break under the Senate plan--is
heavily discounted.
Inasmuch as 80 per cent of
corporate business is done by
about Is per cent of the corpora
tons and corporations earning less
than SOS, 900 do only about 10 per
cent of the business, it can be seen
that the numerical majority OF
corporations benefting from the
Senate plan comes far from sug-
costing a true picture Of the rela-
five effects of the two corporation
tax proposals on American bust
ness as whole.
Corporations earning less thar
$500 obviously do much less thar
10 per cent of the total corporate
business. This group is the only
bracket group in which all com.

of them-beneft under the Fl.

remnant of the hated undistribut-
ed profits tax retained by the
House but eliminated by the Sem
ate Finance Committee IS more
likely than not to be contained in
the tax law eventually enacted.
This belief has grown along
with evidence that the House is all
set to fight for the principle and
an impression that the t"relief"
provided by the Senate's action is
only psychological.
AS to the merits, that all de-
ponds on how you look at it.
Under the Senate plan, a large
majority of American corporations
would pay a smaller tax bill than
under the House bill. About
10000 of the 100000 corporations
had net incomes of less than $4,000
in 1896 and the Senate plan means
smaller tax payment than the
House bill to all corporations
earning less than $4,000.
In the brackets between $500
and $4,000 the Senate plan costs
more in taxes than the House bill.
For example, on a $4,000 income
the Senate plan tax would be
about Is per cent higher.
Over $4,000. the Senate plan is
relatively more expensive to cor
porations which pay out profits in
dividends and less expensive than

THE WARNINGS OF A DICTATOR

ltalys warnings to other nations-France, for
instance, about doing anything more to help the
Spanish government against rebel army-would
sound just bit ridiculous if it wasn't tinged with
menace to the general peace of Europe.
For ltaly's hands are probably the farthest from
being clean in the matter of the Spanish revolution
of any government in all Europe
Clean hands, nationally, however, are the least
Of the anxiees of the Italian dictator or any other
dictator dictator does not Iced to be consistent
or justified in anything he may want to do, or even
to have reasonable excuse for anything he may
choose to plunge his government into
The only thing he has to consider in his own
neck, and often-perhaps even usually little ex-
perlence in being able to "put it over" makes a
dictator so egotsticay certain Of his own lnfalli-
bility and invincblity that he does not appear to
consider even the risk he may be running in that
direction.
At this moment in the world situation the die
tators are able to make their warnings and threats
stick because they know the statesmen of other
nations do not dare plunge their nations into war
and the dictators have no such computations.
Human life and the welfare of people appar-
emily mean little or nothing to dictator against
his own desires and plans.-Rock Hill Herald.

One Of Every Three
House Candidates
Backs Pensions
OId-Aee PIons Provide
Fertile Territory for
Political Hopes
Nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
One out of every three candidates
running for seats in Congress is
counted by pension advocates as
pledged to support some brand of
bigger and better pensions for the
old folks.
The proposals cover wide range
Some want to lower from IS to so
the age limit at which pensions
would be paid. Some propose
bigger pensions, going all the way
from the $30-a-month upper limit
of the present Social Security Act
to the $50 every Thursday of Cali
fornias ham -and-eggers."
Strong undercurrents lie beneath
the campaigning. They have sur
-Nived six or eight years of name
calling among different pension or
CARNATIONS. Many thousands Of
members have paid out several mil
lions of dollars in the hope their
dreams would come true.
Field Has Been Fertile.
Organizers and camp,igners have
had fertile field. Tie Nation has
ll,7l5,000 persons over 80. And
most of the high-powered pension
advocates preface their promises to
pay with after CO." The social
Security law sets IS as the age at
Which payment starts.
Reduction of the age limit from
IS to so broadenS the politician S
appeal by 4,117,000 persons who are
between those ages, all of whom are
eligible to vote and many of whom
have relatives who can vote, too.
The snowballing of pension de-
mands, rolling eastward from Cali
fornia, first with the Townsend Plan
and later with the $30-every-
Thursday program, makes it prob
able that the next Congress will
consider trying to boil a little soup,
at least, out of the numerous roast
Purkey and caviar promises.
Petition Was Signed by 1854.
In the last Congress 164 House
members signed a petition for a
hearing by the Ways and Means
Committee on a bill entitled "The
General Welfare Act" The bill is
sort of outgrowth of the old
Townsend Plan-an outgrowth
Which split the advocates of the
original $200-a-month program.
For the general welfare plan.
alter a long evolutionary process,
lost many of the elements that went
INTO the original Townsend proposal.
Instead of the tax on every trans
action which would have financed
the original scheme, the new one
calls for a 2 per cent gross income
tax. Instead of 5000 a month for
all over 60, the new one simply
would divide the receipts from the
gross income tax among the eliglbles.
Only persons over so and in need
OF the pension would get it. Advo-
Gates say the tax should produce
enough to pay the pensioners $50
month, and that this might even be
set as maximum, with the rest to
be turned into the treasury.
Others Hold Out for $500.
Some of the Townsendites have
trailed into this movement. Others
4. still are clamoring for the 5000 a
month. The original movement still
is doing business, though perhaps
mot on so broad a scale as it once
did. Too many other organizations
