cent in excess profits taxes.
Anyway you look at tit isn't DEM
ocracy and it isn't the proper way to
advance the national defense program.
The big moneyed boys get by the new
tax bill with little Congressional grab
at their pockets while the little men
the workers-are slapped to the ground
and robbed And that robbing isn't
done once. either After getting hit by
the unjust income tax. the workers are
hit by increased sales taxes. taxes on
the use of automobiles. increased taxes
on telephone bills, increased taxes on
amusements increased taxes on cleo
trcity and electric light bulbs Con-
gress didn't miss taxing thing needed
and used by the workers. They did miss
taxing the rich.
This tax bill is not the way to pro-
mote national defense. which needs the
consideration and devotion of every
American. tax bill in the interest of
national defense should gather revenue
in an equitable manner.
National defense. its entire program.
its aims and purposes is not merely an
effort for the benefit of few rich in
dustralists. It's job for the entire
country and the unified peoples within
the country The cost of the national
defense program should be borne on an
equitable and united basis. The people
who are making the tremendous profits
can certainly afford to pay much more
than the workers Let them be taxed
The worker who is now unable to even
scrape along on what little he now earns
should not be forced to carry the burden
of the defense program.
Sit down now and write letter to
President Roosevelt. telling him that
you're opposed to this tax bill. Tell him
to tax the rich and not the workers.

ROBBING THE WORKERS

Suppose someone came up to you and
asked: IF you were getting $500,000 a
year would you object if the govern
ment increased your taxes" You'd
answer right off NO" Right now your
income tax on $500 900 is 1929 637. 20
Under the new tax bill just passed by
the House and Senate your income tax
would be increased by S16635.60. That
would leave YOU 1888. 727 20 TO live on
for year You can manage to scrape
along on that.
On the other hand let's get down to
realities You probably earn about S35
a week, or approximately 1920 year.
Right now you aren't paying any tax.
Under the new tax bill you would have
to pay approximately $50 Now sup
pose someone came up to you and ask
ed: Would you object if the govern
ment taxed YOU" You'd probably say
Yes" You know that when you get
your pay check every week its in the
hands Of the butcher landlord. grocer
clothier. doctor. and movie manager at
the end of the day.
Yet Congress. without even asking
that question of the workers, passed
the heaviest single tax measure in the
history of this country. Workers earn
ing SIS a week are to be taxed It's bad
enough for the S35 week wage Garner.
but for the SIS a week worker it's a
matter of making ends meet much
closer Married men with salary of
$50 week are brought under the tax
which is ten percent levy on income
At the same time Congress allowed
such huge corporations as General Mot
ors to clear S21O,OOOOOO year before
one cent of surplus taxes can be i'm
posed. Du Pont would be permitted to
make as much as $55.000000 in clear
profit before it would have to pay one

Unaninnity

One of the amazing features of the
Western Maryland Industrial Union
Councils Labor Day celebration-out
side of the fact that everything went off
smoothly-was the unanimity of all the
speakers on one important issue before
the American people today. Edwin S.
Smith, former member of the National
Labor Relations Board and main speak
er at the Cumberland Fairgrounds, hit it
squarely when he said:
THE paramount task of AM
orleans is to see that all pos
sible effort is put forth by la
Dor and by the rest Of our peO-
pie in the fight against Hitler
ism, no matter how long ii lasts
and no matter what its mater
ial cost. The Russian people
and the British people will see
to it. with the aid and counsel
of the American people, that
when this war is ended the sys-
tenn of Imperialism which gave
il - Hitlerism - birth is ami
hilated for once and all"
From the first speaker, l. Duke Avnet
to the closing remarks made by Master
of Ceremonies, Sidney r. Katz, and thf
brief talks made by William Pollack
TWUA secretary-treasurer. and Frank
Grille. URWA secretary-treasurer, the
defeat Hitler theme was uppermost.
