Might Be Smart Politics
10 Undertake Tax Revision

It is much too early for any one
TO hazard a guess as to what will
be done. Next year is a year for
general elections, from the Presi-
dent on down the line. It is rather
unusual for congress to under
take tax revision( especially up
Ward) in advance of campaign.
but somehow I believe it might be
pretty smart politics to do so next
year. There Is nothing to indicate
that Mr.. Hanes had any politics in
his mind; indeed, I think the con-
trary is true, because Mr.. Hanes has
been a business man and it IS un-
likely that he is versed in politics.
He told Of the situation in q rath-
er simple and Understandable way.
and when It IS summarized what he
said was: We have to have more
tax receipts but on an equitable
basis. It win remain to be seen
whether congressional leaders will
have the CUTS to place the taxes on
a sound basis.
One can look over the present tax
laws and find so many instances
where tax burdens break the back
OF one line Of business and fail alb
solutely to touch another. The
demagogues will tear their hair and |
moan about taxing the poor, and
to lay taxes that are hidden
n a hundred articles that wage
workers must have. And that is the n
menace OF the present tax situation:
hidden taxes. wonder how many
political leaders would be able to
lold on to their jobs if they would
ell the truth about the taxes they
lave concealed.
The public administration clear.

Our Needs Regarding Taxation

Wen as OUR relations with those

quarreling over the line fence.
so 1t was that, when Mr.. Hanes
made a statement concerning the
need for a general reallocation of
taxes, a great many people felt it
TO be a very hopeful sign. Now.
1t Is always a healthy indication
when an official of the federal gov
eminent looks facts in the face. We
nave not seen great deal of that
In recent years.
But If such things are signifi-
cant and valuable, how much more
important it is to see an official
come out OF the heart of the New
Deal >and say, in effect, that the
treasury wants to hear what BUSH
ness has to say about the present
taxes. Mr.. Hanes went further: He
SAID the treasury wanted to hear
THESE things in private, not in a
public demonstration where the in
diV1dual who has grievances about
unfair taxes could be held up to
public scorn. You will remember.
OF course, how some Of the New
Dealers staged vaudeville show q
year ago; how it picked out cases of
taxpayers who had avoided taxes by
taking advantage of the provisions
of Law, and how each of these was
marked as an unpatriotic citizen.

The income tax is certain to con-

quite sure that every one else ought

IS States Make User

NOW, am not here to plead the
cause OF the cigarette. The tobacco
industry and the tobacco farmer ]
assume, are able to take care ot
thelr own problems. But how MANY
people have stopped to think that
20 states are making the users of
tobacco pay tax ranging from one
cent to five cents on a pack of cip-
arettes, and that the federal govern
ment takes six cents pack (of nom
ular priced brands) before the pack
reaches the retailer in your town.

IT I read the speech by Mr.. Hane
correctly, what he had to say wa.
That a good many of the taxes tina
had been tried by the sputterins

mlserably. OF course, Mr.. Hane:
could not say it just that way, but
ne told of repeal of group OF taxes
and revision of others, and in al
most the same breath, he predicted
the changes would aid business re-
covery. =.
The thing that is important to me
IN this situation is that Mr.. Hanes
had the courage to take a definite
position for reallocation of taxes on
an equitable basis-for I do not be-
lieve anyone can justify the silly
structure that now is used to keep
the federal government going. It
can be said, moreover, that Mr..
Hanes recognizes what confronts the
nation in the way of revenue needs
None OF us have heard very much

however, taxes are going to come
higher, 59-cent dollar or no 59-cent
dollar, and MIR. Hanes apparently
was willing to tell the country the
story OF taxes UP to this time.
Leaders of the house of represent
atlves in the last session of con.
sress recognized the general situa-
Ion. But they were only haf-heart-
"a about it, as politicians always
ire when taxation is before them.

and so it seems not improper to
suggest that attention be given TO
a general program Of taxation that
will help in bringing about those
detectives.

LIVESTOCK RULE
MADE BY STATE

OLYMPIA - Three regulations
on sale of livestock at public auc-
tons and on branding of cattle
were issued here by Agriculture
Director Walter J. Robinson, to
60 into effect June 10.
The major regulation provided
that all livestock had to have
health certificates, indicating they
were free from tuberculosis or
Bangs disease, before they could
be sold at such auctions or COM
munitv sales. Those sold for i'm
mediate slaughter do not have to
have the certificates. Farmers
selling their own livestock on their
own premises, also were exempt,
Another regulation revised the
present branding regulations, and
provided that no change or mutila-
ton could be made in brands on
livestock, and the third provided
for inspection of brands by the
state to combat cattle thieves and
rustlers.
The regulation will augment the
gasoline cowboy law, which goes
into effect June Z to halt this
illegal practice. It provided also
for taking and sale of strays, and
stated that unrecorded brands
would be counted as strays.
