The only Northern support for
the poll-tax bloc came from reac-

who asserted that a 81 poll tax
was not unjust. He also raised the
same states-rights objection that
the Southerners made, asserting
that democracy was threatened by
the invasion of the jurisdiction of

thirties. He thinks the union shop

He was given his present power
when the late e. w. Scripps, who
founded his newspapers for the have
nots, couldn't find another executive
with Towards life expectancy.
Scripps must have suspected him, as
his comments about Howard are not
complimentary.
Under Scripps, his editors made
their own choice for U. S. president.
They did so for the last time in 1924
W h they supported LaFollette.
Howard, looking at the cash register,
didn't like it. In 1928, the editors
were for AL Smith. Howard was for
Hoover And Hoover it was.
Hoover is still his idea of a good
President, but in 1882 Howard knew
Hoover had no chance. So he switched
to the Democratic party. Wall Street
and Howard had the same candidate,
Newton D. Baker. When Roosevelt
carried, Howard strung along.

big business side was too much for

to refuse a Presidential assignment
for national defense, refusing to go
to South America to combat Hitler's
propaganda.
Howard claims he's not anti-Sem-
itic, but once wrote for the New York
Jewish Tribune that if the Jew bears
an unfair share of the odium attached
to moneymaking, that is the fault of
the Jew. :" More to the point, he
told Robert Gerland, drama critic of
the World-Telegram, not to hire an
assistant because he wanted mo more
Jews"
Since printing craft unions had held
union shop contracts with Scripps
long before Towards ascension, his
anti-union bias was not so apparent
until the American Newspaper Guild
came along In 1886, he anticipated
Tom Girdler by writing 5000 words
to his employees, telling them he'd
never sign a Guild contract He did,

Howard went to John L. Lewis aft
Ell the formation of the CLIO to offer
his cooperation and, at the same
time, attack the ANG. The "co-opera-
tion" was manifest later in series of
slanderous articles about the CLIO by
Ben Stolberg which appeared in How
ard papers. He repeated the formula
when Philip Murray became CLIO pres
ident. In no time his editorial writ
ers were blasting Murray.
Whether he called on William
Green is unimportant. Green has
known Towards attitude for some
time. A little over a year ago, the
ALL president sent all affiliated
groups a copy of letter referring to
g Howard editorial.

have congress adopt compulsory legis-
lation providing for the open shop. If
that impression is correct, you can be
classified as among the open shop,
reactionary employers and anti-labor
forces of our country"
Howard may have been pleased by
such recognition.
Pleased or not, Westbrook Pegler
could have attested its accuracy.
Since 1888, Pegler has been follow
ing the Howard line with only one
notable slip. In 1888, he wrote a col
umn expressing sympathy for the
Loyalists in Spain. Although Franco
was forever embarrassing Howard, as
he did by announcing adoption of the
fascist salute the day after Howard
had ordered all his papers to quit
calling Franco fascist, the World
Telegram dropped Pegler for that day.
Peg hasn't made another mistake
like that since. After all, it's Roy
Howard who pays him 100000 a year.

New Income Tax

on net income. With minor excep-
lions the new bill applies to all gross
personal income over $12 per week.
Finally, the tax bill leaves the poor
poorer and the rich still rich. At the
outset of the war, much was said
about equality of sacrifice. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of Treasury
Henry Morgenthau suggested a top
limit of $500 per week for all incomes
The new bill sets no top income
limit. Persons with gross incomes of
$4,000 a week will have $3.50 a week
left after deducting the tax. Those
with incomes of $4,000 per week "a
million a year, will have more than
$4,000 per week after the tax is paid.
In short, the big property owner or
the high salaried executive will still
have a huge income in comparison
with the ordinary worker.
Or, beginning at the other end of
the scale, a married man with two
on an income of $50 per
week, will have $29.40 left after pay
ing his tax bill to the federal govern

The council cited a tendency in de-

some 80 counties, while Murray car
ried about 25 or &c.
1t is clear that Senator Murray has
received no mandate or endorsement
from the people of Montana. Much
dissatisfaction was caused by his
votes for the importation of Argentine
beef, against the Thomas Hatch
amendment to the Decentralization
bill, his failure to help in the farm
labor situation, and his general failure
to support progressives who have sup
ported him. On the other hand, his
victory, small though it was, keeps
Montana in the Roosevelt column.
The prime casualty of the campaign
was the defeat of Judge Albert H.
Angstman. This is no time to indulge
in bitter recrimination, but it is evil
dent that if the progressives of Mon
tana had been true to their friend
Angstman would never have lost. His
opponent, Hugh Adair, is a crafty cam
paigner, and split the Progressive
ranks by his persuasive appeals. In
deed, he even circularized labor with
highly distorted appeal for support
concerning the case of one Strunk,
who lost case in the supreme court
and therefore declared he had been
robbed. Angstman's sound legal judg-
ment and his yeoman service for the
progressive Interpretation of Montana
laws will be sorely missed.
Leonard Youngs defeat of Horace
Casey, completely unexpected, was
the sole Republican victory in the
election. Mike Mansfield succeeds
Jeanette Rankin as congressman in
the first district, and it is to be hoped
that his record on domestic issues
will be as progressive and enlightened
as hers. Little praise has been heaped
upon Miss Rankin since her vote
against the declaration of war, but
when her vote on domestic issues is
examined, it will be seen that her
support of the people has been faith
full and significant. In the second dis
trict, James Francis O'Connor has
been reelected over ex-Sen. F. F.
Haynes of Forsyth. O'Connor had the
support of the Farmers Union to a
large extent, and that accounted for
his election.
1t is too early to tell what the legis-
lature will be composed of, but it is a
good guess that numerous reaction
aries will once more travel to Helena
to do all they can to stifle reform and
vote against progress. The Peoples
Voice will bring you first hand, be-

The MAN BEHIND PEGLER

him, so in 1910 he shifted to Wendell
Willkie. His affection lasted only un-
til he discovered that Willkie really
meant what he said about appeasers
and appeasement.
Towards appeasement policies be-
gan early. In 1888, he was granted
the first newspaper interview with
Hirohito for his service to Japan. A
year later, Eli Amau, Japanese for
eign office spokesman, let the cat out
of the bag. Amau said that a pro-
posal to appease Japan's demand for
naval parity by relaxing immigration
laws, thus allowing for an influx of
Japanese fifth columnists, recognizing
the Manchurian rape, and abandoning
all our Philippine bases was not really
Japan's idea Amau said Howard -had
proposed it year before. He added,
however that Japan was pleased.
Howard thought Munich good bust
ness and Chamberlain moderated.
In 1899 he cabled from Europe that
the Italian masses liked fascism; Ger
many was moving "methodically and
efficiently" under Hitler. And he in
sisted Russia was a helpless country
which could give no aid or comfort
to a peace front of France, England,
Russia and the USA.
Russia is whirling in another
downward spiral" he announced.
And: "The German general staff .

Towards appeasement continued.

Equality of sacrifice, as interpreted
in the mex tax law, does not mean
equality of incomes. 1t means only
that the poor as well as the rich must
pay income taxes.
The government proposes to spend
around $4,000 100000 during the new
fiscal year. Even with the levies un-
der the new law, taxes will bring in
less than half of this amount. If the
war goes on for another two years,
the present tax law will prove only a
beginning in cutting down the food,
clothing and rent money of the hum
blest American worker. +

owl Explanation

The assumption by the Office of
War Information of joint RESPONSE
bility with the War Department
for the policy of secrecy and, in a
sense, deception which has been
followed with respect to the capture
OF American airmen by the Japanese
should serve to silence the criticism
which this incident aroused in some
quarters.
The owl statement was issued by
Elmer Davis, director, and Paul C.
Smith. his military information
deputy. They make the fat state
ment that, in their judgment, secrecy
was highly desirable in the hope of
saving the lives and securing the
freedom OF certain crew members
who crash landed in areas Controlled
by the enemy.
This statement, to be sure, does
not reveal any specific considerations
upon which this judgment was based.
To make such an explanation at
this time, they say, would give in
formation to the enemy which would

War Fund Appeal

The Community War Fund cam
paign now opening represents the
most comprehensive effort of it's kind
ever attempted in the Nations Cap
ital. Its objective is the raising of
$4,141,000 for the maintenance of
necessary social agencies serving
many war relief purposes as we'll as
all the home front organizations re-
quired for the welfare of such great
metropolitan center as Washington
has become in recent years. The
money will be solicited by $4,000
volunteer workers, number of whom
are newcomers to the District of
Columbia but for that very reason
are concerned to help in the solution
OF problems evolving from the en-
deavor toward victory.
For these beginners" the sincere
cooperation of older residents is
particularly invited. The War Fund
drive will be an enterprise in which
the essential neighborliness of all
classes and groups of people can be
demonstrated. Already there is evi-
dence to show that more construc-
tive solidarity is developing in Wash
ington under the impact of the pre-
vailing emergency. In the Community
Chest campaigns of the past indi-
vidual members Of important labor
unions took part, but this year the
unions themselves are pledging their
aid. Government employees likewise
are sharing in the solicitation on this
occasion to a degree hitherto unap-
preached
The explanation of the magnetism
of the War Fund effort probably may
be found in the fact that the average
individual man or woman appreciates
its significance as a factor in the
struggle to save democratic ciyiliza-
ton from destruction by the Axis
aggressors. It is not necessary to
argue with an American in behalf of
the preservation of national morale.
The boys who are fighting on thirty
different foreign fronts expect their
friends at home to fend off the
ancient foes of human health and
happiness. 1t is the special duty and
privilege of civilians to contribute
toward the winning of the strife with
disease, poverty, ignorance and crime.
Of course, the drive must succeed.
Any failure would be concession to
the enemy. Every penny given to the
War Fund is penny devoted to the
gaining of the victory for which the
whole American community is toll
lng-not merely the imperative tri-
umph of the United Nations over the
Axis powers but also the fulfllment
OF the ideal of the earth set free from
unnecessary sorrow and pain. To
that ultimate goal, then, every resi-
dent Of Washington is summoned

Navy Duy

1t was our custom in days of peace
to devote this one. day, out Of the
years three hundred and sixty five,
to speeches and ceremonies which
would give a flllip to the public's
interest in our Navy as first line of
defense and to compare the cost of
naval appropriations with the eco
nomical foresight of keeping fully
paid the annual premiums on an
insurance policy.
We need no such Navy Day this
year, unless it be for solemn reflec-
tion on the extent of the illusions
under which we lived in the past and
at what cost they were maintained.
The Navy's guns, and not the pre-
pared speeches of its admirals. are
telling us today Of what we owe to
the Navy. The death of gallant ships
on the other side of the world is
proving, day after day, how thin is
our first line of defense.
II any Navy Day is needed this
year, 1t might be utilized for rigid
self-examination as to how we'll we.

standards of courage and devotion of
