Capitol Consensus
YOU WILL PAY
AND PAY AND PAY
By VIM. GRIFFIs

When the tax collector gets
through with you this year,
you'll learn that in addition to
paying a federal social security
tax OF two percent on the earn
ings of each employe. you must
pay 81 per annum to the state
for each employee In excess of
one, as an extra occupationaI
tax. Where there are three or
more employed, you must insure
them against accident and in
juries. If eight or more are
employed you pay an unem-
ployment compensation tax.
Practically every kind of bust
ness using the mails comes un-
der the federal wage and hour
act. If its a corporation there
is a state corporation and federal
corporation tax to be paid, even
if your business operates at a
loss If it operates at a profit,
then there IS income tax. When
you are through with that, If
you have paid your ad valorem
taxes, special district taxes. and
licenses taxes, you may pay an
excess profits tax. If you have
anything left you will pay the
state S16.25 for license plate and
drivers license on a light car.
and Uncle Sam gets not a IS use
tax, but STo9 on the same auto.
If you have any money left you
buy gasoline. not at 7c per gall
lon tax, but a total of 8 1-S cent
per gallon for state and federal
gas taxes. If you've stnl got a
dollar left you can give it to the
Red Cross and ask the Commun-
ity Chest to provide you with
food, fuel, clothing and shelter,
as you are disqualified to work
on WPA, or perhaps you can
Join the Go and get strike
benefits on which there are no
taxes. Possibly the Railroad
Brotherhoods viii take you In
at SO per day. and let you strike
for 80 per cent more. and retire
you later on a Railroad Retire
ment Pension at half pay. Living
expenses have increased IS PEI

and only John Z. Lewis success
fully defies the Government and

piece. Buchanan killed his son,
then later two prohi officers in
Taylor County. Six times ex-
Gov. Doylee Carlton signd his
death warrant, but ne remains in
the death cell Practically every
attorney who represented Buch-
anan has been elevated to high
office. Claude Pepper. who de-
Aended Buchanan, is now U. S.
Senator. Curtis Waller, became
federal district Judge. W. C.
Hodges plead for Communication of
his sentence and became Presi-
dent of the Senate. Ex-Gov. Cone
sought clemency for Buchanan
and became Governor, while Roy
Chapman and Elwyn Thomas re-
quested the pardon board to COM
mute his sentence, and they be-
came supreme court justices. The
Miami Herald editoriaI1y pleaded
for Buchanan's life, and became
one of Florida's most profitable
newspapers. Buchanan, now
nearing Y, remains alive, aging
and rheumatic. Sholtz refused 70
sign Buchanan's death warrant,
became Exalted Ruler of Elkdom
and then saw his arch enemy,
Moe Annenberg, sent to the fed
eral penitentiary. Sam Barco of
Miami sought clemency for
Buchanan. and rose high as q
political power. Joe Sears sought
clemency for him and became

ISOLATION ABANDONED
SWEAR POLICY ENDS
U.s. IN THE WORLD

When Congress gave its ap-
proval to the repeal of sections
Of the Neutrality Act, which
prohibited American ships from
going into belligerenf waters and
the arming of American mer-
chant ships, it ended the isola-
ZIONIST cycle of foreign policy
which has been symbolic of the
United States for at least the
past six years.
The original neutrality Act
was passed m 1885, signed by
President Roosevelt on August
81, and surrendered. in effect,
our traditional insistence upon
freedom of the seas. It appeared
to serve notice upon the world
that the United States would
NOS take sides in any conflict
between aggresSor and non-ag-
gressor nations. At the time,
Fascist Italy was about to launch
her long expected invasion of
Ethiopia.
The Neutrality Act was ap-
piled to both sides in the con-
flict in italy and Ethiopia and in
the Spanish civil war. II was
not applied to Sino-Japanese
conflict.
The United States made its
first retreat from the isolation
ist policy shortly after Germany
launched her blitzkrieg against
Poland A special session of
Congress revised the Neutrality
Act, replacing the embargo on
arms shipments to belligerents
by a cash-and-carry rule. The
law was frightened in some other
respects. designed to keep the
nation tout of foreign war;, by
prohibiting loans to belligerents,
D1AiAAAtA5 ttG al tAiAAfS VI AtGAEtldl1k-
men and barring ships from
belligerent ports and combat
zones.
This was the situation until

Continuing the national policy
of aiding the British. the Presi-
dent requested Congress, on Oc-
tober 8. to repeal the ban on the
arming of merchantmen. He did
not ask Congress for immediate
passage of an amendment to per-
init American vessels to go into
combat zones and into belIiger-
ent ports. The House authorized
the arming Of merchantmen by
an unexpected majority and the
Senate added provision to per-
NIT our ships TO 90 into bellig-
erent zones.
