STRIKING UNIONS CUT
THEIR OWN THROATS

San Francisco, once California's domi-
nant city from an Industrial and COM
mercial standpoint, can no longer claim
that distinction. 1t is, at best, far below
Los Angeles in volume of trade today
And there is reason. The labor unions
furnish it,
Militant" labor in San Francisco has
hurt its city to the tune of millions of
dollars. Right now, with another water
front strike in progress there, cold fig
ures show that thousands of dollars each
day are being shunted to Los Angeles
that would otherwise go to San Fran
cisco.
Ships which might be bringing pros
perity and work to the San Francisco
waterfront are lying idle.
Other ships which had scheduled calls
at San Francisco have cancelled them
and will stop at Los Angeles instead.
Several Will bring prospective passengers
from San Francisco to Los Angeles by
train so they will not have to put into
the northern harbor.
Packing houses and factories have clos
ed down in San Francisco because they
cannot get the materials with which to
operate, and so hundreds have been
thrown out of work.
Why is all this true?
because the San FRANCISCO labor un-
ions, controlling waterfront and ship
laborers in their area, are not willing to
negotiate peacefully for settlement OF
their toubles, but insist on calling a strike
To demonstrate their strength" What
they actually demonstrate is their weak
ness, weakness born of the failure to
realize that they cannot hurt their city
without hurting themselves.
If San Francisco becomes a ghost city,
it will be the fault of misguided labor
leaders with one-track minds who be-
lieve that their only consideration should
be for members of their union, and who
cannot see that the welfare of their union
depends upon the welfare of those who
employ their unions members.
And San Francisco is liable to become
something of ghost city if labor trou-
bles continue there on the grand scale
they have followed for several years
Why should factory stay in San Fran
cisco, subject to the whims of radical
unionists, when it can move southwark
and escape those whims? Why should
ships continue to call at San Francisco
when they can transport their passengers
and freight overland to Los Angeles and
save themselves money and trouble?
San Francisco labor unions might save
themselves eventual defeat if they would
ask themselves these questions.

Famous Sayings
Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
Reforming the Complex Tax Structure

constant. But it doesn't.
In Delaware, the state revenue
approximately only IL per cent
of the federal collected. In Kansas
the percentage is 33. in Kentucky,
81. in Maryland, 81; in Oregon, 83,
in South Carolina. 60; in TenneSse,
20. and in Wisconsin, rs. None of
these states has a sales tax to
supplement its income taxes. OBJ
viously some of these states must
depend more heavily on other forms
of taxation.
1t was only a generation ago that
the income tax was inaugurated,
but in the year ending in June,
1899, 81 per pcent of the total re-
venue in the United States was
collected through income taxes.
Like civilization itself, the tax
structure of a nation cannot sud-
deuly be turned over with a spade.
Taxes in certain fields, which may
be too high, must be made up some
where. Some uniform and centra-
liZed tax basis might be advisable
as a means of eliminating unfair
multiple taxation. But the process
must be slow and natural. Tt cannot
be adjusted suddenly by edict.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-11-17

Gov. Culbert d. Olson of CAL
ifornia, troubled by the wide vari-
ance in income tax rates among
the states and by the small per-
centage of income taxes collected
compared to the total tax levy,
recently proposed a rearrangement
in the tax picture. He suggesed,
among other things, that uniform
rates be established by the federal
government so that all income
taxes might be collected centrally
and proportionate shares returned
to he states.
The governors plan would GER
tainly eliminate fears among states
that industries are driven out be-
cause of high state income taxes,
But to place such a proposal into
effect might initiate an economic
revolution in this country, the re-
suits of which might be too dis
astrous to imagine. The tax struc-
ture of the United States is much
too involved today to admit any
sudden sweeping reforms, however
llltIlIOllOuS Illcy llldy Dt.
Seventeen states today levy in
come taxes, but no sales taxes. Six
states have sales taxes without in
come taxes, and II depend on both
for their revenues. Eight states
have neither income nor sales taxes
but rely entirely on other forms of
taxation, such as property, gasoline,
liquor and tobacco taxes.
Sales taxes vary from 4 of /
per cent to per cent and produce
yields anywhere from half a million
dollars, in Connecticut, to &c mil
lions, in California. Income tax
rates vary from u of one per cent
on both personal and corporate in
comes, in Maryland, to a l to 10
per cent range on personal and q
straight 6 per cent levy on cor
porate incomes, in Minnesota.
The federal graduated income
tax rate is the same in every state
of the union. In states which de-
pend, not on sales taxes, but on in
come taxes for their chief source of
revenue, it might be assured that
the proportions of state to federal
revenue would remain reasonably

NOT THE
GOVERNMENTS JOB
[ Wall Street Journall

Discussing with press correspondents
the financial problems of the small
business man, Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau remarked that perhaps the
seemingly more liberal lending of the
banks had curtailed the corresponding
loan demand upon Government agencies
such as the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
But that" he is quoted as adding, still
does not take care of the fellow who
wants a ten-year loan for plant improve
ment, or maybe for twenty years. think
it's something that will always be with
u.s."
For his own sake, the little fellow who
wants a 20-year loan for plant eXpan-
sion had better not get it, unless the
amount he wishes to borrow is small in
proportion to the net worth of his busi-
ness and its proved earning power. That
is not usually the case with the business
man who complains that the capital mar
kets are inaccessible to him and that the
banks are stingy. What that man ordi-
narily needs is more ownership capital,
when it is not greater endowment of
managerial talent
Probably Mr.. Morgenthau's concluding
remark about a situation that will always
be with us reflects his understanding of
the ruling facts. At any rate, he has not
yet endorsed any of the several proposals
to put the government in the commercial
banking business to make loans to the
little fellow which the private banker
does not regard as a safe lodgment of
his depositor's money We trust he never
will.

WHERE AMERICANISM
FINDS ITS STRENGTH

The intense interest shown by upwards
of $50 southern California clubwomen in
convention here this week in American
principles of government is the best
guarantee this country could have that
foreign isms and theories are still long
way from taking root in American soil
With these women and their sister
clubwomen, housewives and business
women throughout the country rests
large slice of this governments hope for
sanity and continued democracy. In their
hands is the training Of future. genera
tions, and in their minds are the ideas
that shape not only today's but tomor-
rows government
And, although their husbands may
deny in, theirs is the vote that keeps the
nation on an even keel from year to year.
Thus their interest in the things of gov
ernment, and their championship of de-
mocracy, are cheering factors in world
where such things are too often absent.

A breakdown of the Bureau of

604 strikes as compared with 2772
in 1888. But the number of work.

was 4000-nearly half as many
as the 688000 involved in the 1898
strikes. The number of ''mandayS"
