AFFIRMATIVE
ARGUMENTS

But the bills sponsors are ready
with answers.
First of all, they say. it will be
simple to work out in the senate
finance committee an adjustment
which will keep state and federal
rates together from taking more
than a mans total income.
Second. they remark that If the
bill operates so as to keep the
country from getting into any
wars, that is just swell. That's
what 1t is meant to do.
Beyond that, though, there is the
argument that the country's ma
chinery not only could function in
wartime under this taxation law,
but that through the law the coun-
try would pay its war costs as 1t
went along. One estimate is that
If this measure had been In exis-
tence In 1917, Aemrica would have
come out of the World war with
out any added debt
Underlying all OF these argu-
ments there is the vast wealth of
material about wartime profits.
That material. collected during the
munitions investigation. shocked
the country when the investigation
was on; the bills sponsors believe
1t will do so again and will rally
public support to pass the bill.

| XxTASH1NGTO next bittel
and sensational scrap in Wash.
tonwill be the fight over the pend
ing war profits tax measure. The
bill Ia about as drastic a measure
as any taxation bill ever offered in
congress.
1t would confiscate corporation
profits In excess of per cent. and
would tax individual incomes so
heavily that very rich men would
wind up with their taxes exceeding
their earnings.
Naturally, bill like that Is 60
ing to stir up tremendous opposi-
ton. But the thing to remember
about 1t In that the proposal is
u direct and legitimate descendant
OF the famous senate munitions
of few years ago.
And all of the highly explosive
ammunition collected during that
investigation is waiting to be fired
at the heads of the bills opponents.

The bill was not hastily drawn,

three years ago, and they took six

favor of the bill.
Objections to the bill so far
are chiefly two. First, the in
dividual income tax rates it
provides for application in time
of war are so steep that, in
states which levy income
taxes Of their own, a rich man
would he taxed more than the
total of his income.
In New York, for instance. a
man with an income of $500, 900
a year would be liable for state
and federal income taxes totaling
S526,000. A million dollar income
would be liable to taxes totaling
81 ,061 900.
The other objection is that these
crushing taxes, plus the confisca-
tory corporation taxes, would make
it impossible to fight any war,
under any circumstances whatever,
since they would simply stop the
processes OF industry and COM

WORLD WAR
DIFFICULTIES

Senator Nye flips open the pub
hshed record of the munitions in
vestigation and points to section
recounting the governments trou-
bles during the last war. The cop
per industry refused to produce at
the price proposed by the govern
ment.
The steel industry refused to ill
wartime orders until prices had
been stabilized at levels satisfac-
tory to the industry The dupont
company refused to build a great
powder plant which it alone was
qualified to build, until il was as
sured of what it considered a suffi-
cient profit.
And there. in the record. is
letter from Pierre DUPONT
I'VE cannot assent to allowing
our own patriotism to interfere
with our duties as trustees.
Fundamentally, the bill rests
on the proposition that in war
Syne someone besides the man
who goes into the army should
be called on for vast sacrifices.
That proposition has, poten-
italy, tremendous public ap-
peal. You can be sure that ii
will be presented dramatically
and forcefully when this bill
comes up for debate.
Whether the bill can pass is an
other question. Already there are
signs OF wavering among some Of
the so senator's who sponsored 1t.
There will be more in the near
future. But a gorgeous fight is in
prospect, anyway.

For the benefit of the readers of The Waterbury Democrat the Wa terbury, Connecticut field office of the Social Security Board has sup- piled six brief articles each explain ing one point of the new provisions. Following is the third of this series.)
 Before the Social Security Act was amended, wages earned by a worker after he had become 65 did not count toward benefits. Under the amended act, this "stop-date" at age 65 has been removed, so that 6 worker may continue to build up his social security account as long as he remains in employment cov- cred by the system.
 The worker who was 65 or more when the act first went into effect can now establish wage record and receive credit, thereon, for all wag- es paid to him in covered employ ment since 1888. In other words, the change with regard to workers past 65 years of age became effec- tive as of January 1, 1889. Begin- ming with that date, wages received in covered employment count to- ward insurance benefits regardless of the age of the worker.
 This change in the law with re- spect to older workers is summar- ized below The statement applies only to jobs that are covered by the act.
 1. A wage earner who reached age 65 after 1886 and before 1889, will count toward his benefits wag- es he was paid after 1886 and be- fore his 65th birthday, plus wages he was paid after 1888, regardless of age.

LIONS ATTEND
 ! DINNER HERE
Members From Many Sec
 tiOns Hear Economist it Talk

Hons from Bethel, Danbury, New Milford, Ridgeiield, Woodbury, and Waterbury gathered at the Elton last night as guests of the Woodbury Lions club. It is estimated that more than l26 members of the or- gar1ization were present.
 Prof. Walter Peabody, head of the economies department of Rutgers University and secretary of the American Tariff League, was the principal speaker. He gave a review of the effect of war on foreign trade and the effect of the Hull recipro- cal trade agreements. He predict cd that there would be 8 sharp in- crease in American exports as a re- suit of the war.
 Speaking of the reciprocal trade agreements, Prof. Peabody de- clared that tariff levels on hum dreds of items have been brought down to the level of the Under wood-Simmons schedule of 1913. On the other hand, he said, while exports to countries with which the United States has agreements have increased in the 1o34-38 period, they have increased more sharply to those countries with which there are no agreements. He urged that when the present law expires in 1940, there should be a substantial modification to make the system work more nearly as 1t was expect- ed to.
 The meeting began with din- ner, with Frank J. Calvin of Wa terbury, deputy governor of Zone 1 as toastmaster. William o. Tay- Tor, president of the Waterbury club, extended the greetings of

nent disability IS almost self ex-
plantory. The word total means
all or entirely. The word perma-
nently means forever The word
disability means unable to work
Or do something. Therefore the
phase total and permanent disa-
bility means a workman who, by
reason of an accident, has become
entirely incapacitated from do
ing any kind of work.
When a workman becomes to-
tally and permanent disabled by
reason of an accident at work,
his employer must pay him two
thirds of his weekly wages not
to exceed $500 per week. In
other words the most money a
disabled worgman can receive
is $500 per week. This is paid
t. him for a neriod of 300 weeks.
At the end of the 300 week
period, the workman then re
ceives 45 per cent of his wages
not to exceed $40 900 per week
ior the rest of his life. In add
ton to this the employer must
pay all of the doctor, hospital
bills and medicine bills that the
injured employee accumulates as
A result of his accident and in
jury.
1t will be noted that a work
mems compensation is based on
a percentage of his wages. Oc-
OCCASIONALLY we find a workman
getting an exceptionally low
wages are $500 per week or
CT less. In such cases where the
wages are 5000 per week or
less, then the injured workmen
gets the full amount of his low
weekly wage rate during the time
set out in the law.

with workmen who have been
injured, but the injury has only
