WALTER-LOGAN BILL.

10 the Editor.
The best thing this the 18th Con-
greSS has done was the sustaining
the Presidents veto OF the Walter
Logan bill on Dec. 18. Had it not
been done the wish of organized
wealth would have been granted and
our government turned over to the
absolute control Of the enemies of
the farmer and all who work and
produce all wealth.
The President in his veto message
told all that needs to be known about
this damnable Walter-Logan bill
when he said: Behind this bill We're
two forces; lawyers who desire all
processes of government to be con-
Quoted through lawsuits, and inter-
ests who desire to escape regulation
He could have spoken far more in
condemnation Of the lawyers and yet
been we'll within the truth, and the
same is true of the interests he spoke
of, which is the rich people who
have their vile greedy hands i'll the
pockets of the farmer and working
man and desire to keep them there.
Since the war of the sixties the
rich have, with the Republican and
Democratic parties, ruled this coun-
try until 1888 The people remember
these money folks completely eat
up the producing class and We're
gnawing on each other when Frank
lin D. Roosevelt came on the scene
March 4. 1898. and at least post
poned revolution that seemed in
evitablc. Under the New Deal regime
there are many millions with food,
raiment and shelter who would now

Christmas Cards

II just can't De done, and you
know it can't if you were one Of that
many who discovered they were
hopelessly sWamped in an effort to
get Christmas greeting off 20 all
the friends who thought enough OF
them to send che at Christmas. You
know, too. how prohibitive it is in
cost and how impossible it is to send
greeting in the first place to eV-
cry one you really would like to re-
member in that way.
You lay in your stock Of cards
dozen, fifty, a hundred or even
more. Then d few days before
Christmas you sit down and write
them, trying to make them go ac far
as possible with the resources at
your command. But hardly does the
stream begin to flow until you begin
| to get a flock of them from people
you didn't send one to, and heart
failure sets in. You feel badly about
it and wonder if you have lost d
friend. or lot of friends, because
you couldn't send a greeting to as
many as you would have liked. Per
hapS it isn't because you think any
less of any one; it is just that you
did what you could and that's about
the size of it.
1t is not d racket, even if many
things are called that wrongfully
The greeting card practice is, how
ever. extensively commcrcialized
just as is Christmas in general. THAI
is not to say that there is any ono
who does not like to get this sort o.
mail at this time of the year. o.
course, every one does. And so i
goes on and on, expanding from yea!
to year. But it satisfies lot O
vanity, conveys lot Of sentiment
and does enhance business vo.Lmt

Sales Tax Changes

Goyernor-elect Broughton and
,,bsr RESPONSIBLE spokesman for the
Dsro,ratIc party are committed to
saw, changes in the State sales
,.x md i, is fairly certain that it
viii be- considerably modified by the
incoming legislature. Moreover,
mounting SURPRISES in State Golfers
appear to make it possible that eN-
emptions be extended.
But there are other commitments
bv these party leaders which point
IN the opposite direction from re-
lief for taxpayers. Teacher bene-
IFS in the form OF higher pay, re-
,irement compensation and the like,
~ say nothing of the growing agita-
tion for State support OF a nine
n,onths' school term, will all cost
money and lot OF it. Most agencies,
nf the government are, too, asking
for the usual and customary in
creaSe< in appropriations for this
md that innovation they desire, and
which they will try to convince the
legislature they must have o. the
skv will fall. This also requires
vast sums OF new money.
So the two proposals revert back
To the age-old problem of the legiS-
Iatt,re-how to get the cash with
which to do more things.
Proposals involving additional
money will. if adopted. more than
absorb continuing surplus tax re-
cejptS. 1t is. then. the old question
OF whose pockets are going to be
rifled TO provide the increase.
We can with no difficulty what
ever subscribe to the theory that
those who are most able to 90 so
should pay the most taxes. But the
mere fact that this or that individ-
nal or agrncy can afford further
soueins by tax authorities does not
Justify the process. After all, wage
earnerS and others are entitled to at
least some of the benefits acCruing
from their ability to make a living
and little more. BY all rules Of
the game. there ought to be a place
where We could call it quits in this
business of taxing. But trends OF
recent times indicate there S no
longer any such word in the vocabu-
larry anG no such thought in mems
Ninds. certainly not the men who
take it upon themselves to say what
citizens may and may not do with
what is theirs.
Ii needs have arisen that are alb
SOlutely essential. ana lileE cslii
De met with present and expected
surplus accruals. il would seem to
be the part of wisdom to allow the
tax structure as it now is to con-
Thule in operation. To reduce leNieS
n one place only 10 transfer the bur
len elsewhere is no reduction q! all.
Little is to be gained by revamping
If taxes unless the result shall be a
let cllrtailment in government TAX
ngs. That Is what the people want
and what should be the aim and
purpose Of the governor and the
legislature.

u. ). Steel Chairman
AsksProper Balance
In Defense Drive
Preservation Of Free
Enterprise, Avoidance
Of InfIotion Urged
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Irving S. Olds,
chairman of the board Of the United
States Steel Corp, stated last night
that our national policy should be
determined on the basis" Of these
three aims:
First, the early realization Of
adequate national defense.
Second, the preservation OF our
system of free enterprise, so that
those who succeed us may enjoy
the benefits of our proven economic
order.
Third, the avoidance of inf1a-
ton"
IF proper balance can be main
tanned" he told members Of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association,
the shock of the inevitable read
lustment which must follow the
present emergency will be greatly
leSsened. So far as it is humanity
possible to do so. defense plans
should be formulated after giving
careful thought as to the after
effects-to the consequences at a
time in the future when a more
peaceful order will prevail in the
world"
Labor Cooperation Urged.
Mr.. Olds asserted that Washing
ton authorities, industry and labor
should work together on the de-
fense program in IAN atmosphere
of mutual understanding, Coop
GRAFTON and good will"
AN ill-considered policy of in
dustrial relations by single COM
pany or one unjustified strike in
an important manufacturing plant
now engaged in carrying forward
the national program can conceiv-
ably throw our whole economy out
of equilibrium and have far-reach-
ing and serious repercussions," he
said.
Mr.. Olds believes the spending of
huge defense sums in a relatively
short time is fraught with pos
sible danger" He added:
g" Unjustifed advances in
commodity prices, or in labor rates
or in costs in general, could throw
our economy into disastrous up
ward price spiral. - :"
Understanding on Priorities.
He expressed confidence that bus
inessmen would cooperate with the
Government in ANY restrictive pro-
gram of priorities, but that they
and the general public should be
clearly informed as to the necessity
for the reasonableness' of the pro-
posed action"
Industry in the performance of
its duty under the defense program
should not be called upon to provide
at its expense a vast array of new
special facilities of costly nature,
which will be of doubtful CONNER
cial value at the conclusion of the
emergency" Mr. Olds said. 1T is
entirely fitting that facilities OF this
exceptional character be provided at
the cost of the Federal Government,
although presently intrusted to pri-
vate hands for operation on defense
orders.
But when the emergency is a
thing OF the past, these special Gov
ernment-owned plants and equip
ment, if not then abandoned or dis
posed of to private industry. should
be held in reserve by the Govern
ment for use only in event of an
other similar emergency"
