MANY PLANS HAVE BEEN sUG-

geSIeQ Tor business recovery, anu LIE Gull
ference of ''little" businessmen at Washing
ton had as many as anyone else.
But despite the numerous ideas, the one
big thought as to how recovery can be at
tanned is relatively clear. In all of the plans
offered, there is basic sameness.
Business, large and small, has held back
because of new burdens placed upon it, and
because of the indication that additional
restrictions are Forthcoming.
In light of past events, and not know
| ing what the future holds, business has been
forced to refrain from going ahead. 1t is
only human nature that it has done this
business thrives when there is probability of
profit, it stagnates when there isn't. And
regardless of who the businessmen harper
to be, the result would be the same.
If government would say, 1--WE intend to
clean up past injustices, give you break
taxes for the next five years, and offer full
and friendly cooperation all the way round
recovery would come in hurry.
Business, it is true, should watch its
step, stay fair and honest, to merit such at
titude, and expect to take punishment if it
doesn't. But business on the whole will we
think, remember the lessons of the past and
act that way if given a chance.
All Washington has to do is to speak
out. plainly and directly, to achieve business
and employment ecovery.-Marshall Daily

J.
e WITH ALL THE DISCUSSION NOW
!. Of excess profits and capital gains tax, we
frequently hear the statement from a SNUG
= citizen, "Well, l should worry. 1 don't have
/ to pay any tax to the government I'm not
p in the income taxpaying class" The man
e who really believes such propaganda is the
/, worlds greatest economic sucker. For as a
/, matter of fact the citizen with humble sal
d airy pays far more than his share of taxes,
), in proportion to his income. About rs per
h cent of the rent he pays goes for hidden
: taxes. Every time he buys suit for him
e self or a coat or dress for his wife, eight
f per cent goes for paying hidden taxes Every
l. time he goes to the movies 10 per cent of
+ the admission fee goes for taxes. Food and
}, gasoline get their share. In short IL cents
J out of every COLLAR the wage Garner gets
goes for hidden taxes. He works month
and half each year to pay hidden taxes
