~ JAMES PREsToN

If John Public has a COM
Portable feeling because the
Congress rejected a suggestion
that the tax base be broadened,
it is a comfort that is likely to
be shortlived.
On the surface, the Congress
sional vote ON the tax bill might
be interpreted to indicate that
Congress has put the Indian
sign on any scheme to collect
more taxes. That, or course,
does lend comfort to the tax
paying Mr.. Public, but if one
goes below the surface and cat
ches a glimpse of the dilemma
behind the stage door, there is
plenty there to disturb that
feeling of comfort.
Here is the dilemma:
Almost everyone on Capitol
Hill will admit-at least private
ly-that the day of reckoning is
at hand, or not far off. They
know the bill for the spending
orgy of the last few years is
coming due. They know the on
lv way that bill can be paid is
through more taxes. They know
the only source from which
more taxes can be collected is
the middle and lower income
brackets, because the higher
brackets are already staggered
by an unprecedented burden.
And they know that next year
is election year!
The dilemma is particularly
preplexing for those members
who came to Congress only last
year. They had none of the
fun of spending, but must now
share equally the problem of
paying the check.
What to do about it was the
question they faced in the new
tax bill. Specifically, the pro-
posal they finally voted down
would have increased the tax
rate on the middle income
group, and lowered the income
tax exemption so that low in
come groups now escaping a
direct taxation would have to
pay a tax.
Significant is the fact that
the proposal was defeated in
the Senate by one vote mar
gin, meaning that there was al
most a majority in favor Of
facing the music now, instead
of later.

considerable comment at the
Capitol. It was submitted as
part of the testimony of a wit
ness appearing before the Sen
ate Committee on Education and
Labor which is studying amend
ments to the National Labor
Relations Act.
What that survey showed was
simply that John Public does
not believe the National Labor
Relations Act, or the board
which administers it, has con-
tributed much to the country'S
industrial relations.
In the survey, the public was
asked what it thought reSpon-
sible for the reduction in the
number of strikes from 1887 to
1888. Only 10.5 per cent thought
the reduction in the number Of
strikes was due to legislation
and the governments attitude.
The largeS percentage thought
here were fewer strikes in 1888
because there was a public re-
sentiment against sit down
strikes.
The fight over the labor act
amendments, incidentally, pro-
duced what rates the crack of
the week" It was during ques-
tioning of Labor Board Chair
man Madden by Representative
Barden, quick thinking North
Carolina Democrat. Chairman
Madden had pointed out that
the Labor Board had won more
cases in court than it had lost.
To this, the North Carolinian
shot back:
Let me remind the chairman
that justice in the United States
is not dispensed on a percent
age basis"
A few weeks ago, official
Washington was receiving in
structions from a certain we'll
educated economist with a flair
for language. This word-wizard
was convincing everyone con-
cerned that the economic fail
ureS of the past few years were
largely mental: that if you used
the right l1lords to describe
them, they weren't so bad after
all.
Thus, he explained, if witness
es appearing before committees
called the debt an investment, I"
it left a good taste in every
ones mouth, and there was
no damage done.
Business men caught on
quickly to the new game, and
it was one of this group who
had the last word" on the
subject. "Profits?" he asked in
nocently. "Oh, just call them
preparation for future taxes!' "
Since the publication of that
remark in the papers, nothing
more has been heard from the
Washington word-WiZard.
