The proposal to tax so-called pen
sion trusts" which is outlined in the
new tax program, is certainly harsh
proposal on the part of the secre
tary. This will raise hob with the
bookkeeping procedures of some large
corporations which have set them up
for the benefit of their key officers,
thereby avoiding payment of taxes on
such part of their taxable incomes as
were deposited in these trusts"
which are not taxable. While these
key officers could not conceivably be
too much concerned over the proba-
bility of having bread and butter and
even yacht or two for their old age,
having had incomes mounting into
the hundreds of thousands annually
in many cases, it was an altruistic
gesture on the part of the corpora
lions using that plan. Besides, look
at the income tax it saved the cor
porations!
1t is also proposed to scrutinize
more carefully some charitable" or
CARNATIONS which have been set up
by the wealthy and which appear to
have strayed afield from their de-
clared humanitarian purposes.
The Other Side
All cannot be said to be black for
the wealthy however, particularly as
the program applies to corporations.
1t does not provide for the elimina-
ton of the average-earnings method
of computing excess profits taxes,
which favors the fat boys. Nor does
it suggest the special 10 percent tax
which would threaten the profits of
steel and railroad companies profit
ing from defense business. And the
program suggests the repeal of the
capital stock tax so the poor corpora
lions can save themselves by that,
three hundred million.
The program contemplates an in
crease in income to the treasury of
go percent more revenue from indi-
vidual income taxes but an increase
of only 40 percent from corporations.

Employment
CONTINUED from Page One)

Your Part
Before your busy season begins
as far in advance as possible-get in
touch with the nearest office of the
United States Employment Service.
There are full-time offices and part
time offices in every state. II you do
not know where to find the nearest
one, ask your post office. Tell the
employment office just how many
workers you need, when you can actu-
ally put them to work, and the kind
of experience or training needed for
the work you want to have done.
Before the end of your season, let
the employment office know when
you will be ready to let your help go,
so the employment office can place
them somewhere else without loss of
time.
Do not advertise for help or employ
labor scouts or use other wasteful
methods of hiring your help. Use the
United States Employment Service.
The Governments Part
The local office of the U. S. EN-
ployment Service will try to send you
experienced people from the locality.
If there is a local shortage of ex
perienced workers, however, the Of
flee will tap other sources. 1t may
turn to the WPA, and CCC, or the
NYA. 1t may recruit high school and
college students and women. 1t can
bring in workers from the other areas
The local employment office is in
touch with the migrant workers who
move from job to job with the diff
ferent seasons for planting, harvest
ing, processing different crops. 1t
can guide these workers to you. The
nationwide network of 1,500 full-time
and 5000 part-time offices of the U. S.
Employment Service makes it posi-
BILE to recruit in any community where
workers are to be found for any other
community where there is work to
be done.
The U. S. Employment Service has
farm placement service which deals
entirely with the labor supply prob
lens of farmers and food producers.

pie" Marcantonio said, "have lavished

eight months sooner word for word,

End of Federated Press story.
On Saturday, Marcantonio obtained
the floor for 40 minutes and described
the plagiarism of Dies in detail.
The following report of the happen
ings in congress in connection with
Marcantonio's exposure, is from re-
sponsible source:
I'm addition, he (Marcantonio)
charged that the Dies committee was
'derelict in its duty in not co-operat-
ing with the department of justice
in connection with its investigation of
Japanese espionage activities.
Despite the late hour when Mar
cantonio obtained the floor today, 70
49,
exposed the Dies committee
"The congressman howled with
laughter as Marcantonio proved con-
clusively that the Dies committees
secret revelations were taken from
sources which have long been avail
able to the general public.
observers felt that Marcantonio's
exposure may have an important eff
feet in influencing house opinion
against granting the Dies committee
additional funds.
REP. Martin Dies was not present
on the floor, but attempts to defend
his committee were made by Rep.
Clare Hoffman, anti-labor appeaser of
Michigan, and by Reps. Joe Starnes
of Alabama and Noah Mason of Hi
nois, both members of the Dies COM
mittee.
Later the committee put forward
as a liberal front Rep. Jerry Voorhis
of California. While attempting to
defend the Dies committee, Voorhis
admitted that Marcantonio's charges
appear OF be true
"Marcantonio has introduced res
olution calling for an investigation by
a house committee of the Dies COM
mittee's plagiarism. Speaker Sam
Rayburn of the house has referred
the resolution to the rules committee
and Marcantonio is insisting that the
hold public hearings on the
matter"

severe race. The prospect, from

rationing of sugar were gradually be-

that public announcement could be
expected soon concerning the details.
From unofficial sources it was learned
that other commodities would proba-
| bly, be rationed in the next few
months, and the rationing staffs set
up under the sugar program would
also handle the distribution of the
other commodities.
The following appointments to Sc
lective Service Boards were made by
Gov Sam G. Ford last week. Lake
county, Jerry Paul of Poison replac-
ing Elmer Shipley, resigned. In Min
eral county, Ward Elder, Sr. replac-
ing Fred Mayo, resigned. Sanders
county, Virgil Pitts of Thompson

ceased In Flathead county to fill the
vacancy caused the resignation of
James NJ Carey, A. R. Johnson of
Kalispell was appointed. Warfield E.
Munce of Two Dot was selected to
succeed E. c. Miller in Wheatland
county.
An interesting exchange in the
Board of Examiners occurred during
the week when John Bonner after
voting in favor of a measure to
change the title of the Stationary
Engineers in the Highway building to
Janitors and reduce their wages to
correspond with the wages paid JAM
tors in the capitol building sought to
change his mind He insisted that
the importance of the measure had
not been explained to him and in
dictated that he would have voted
otherwise had he known all the facts.
Governor Ford and Secretary of State
Sam w. Mitchell, who both voted for
the proposal, had the minutes indicate
that the proposal had been fully ex-
planned at the first meeting and said
that at that time there was no doubt
in the minds of anyone concerning
the change. 1t was rumored in the
capitol that Bonner sought to change
his vote to make good impression
with labor forces and thus put the
entire blame for the move, if any, on
Mitchell and Ford.
This week several important boards
will hold meetings Of a routine nature.
The Liquor board will discuss various
