as it is a large work columbus at
the Court of Queen Isabel MIS-

promised for the spectators. Mrs.
"A. L. Lewis will show four OF her
delightful still life paintings. Mrs.
Lewis. studied with Miss Walton OF
Menominee, Michigan, noted for her
technique in oils. Mrs. Lewis is
another Nogales artist who is again

painting, and will probably be seen
from time to time during the COM

These groups of painters are begin

Our Secret Weapon

An advertisement of an oil company
makes unique comparison between the
price of gasoline and the price of other
commodities, pound for pound. Con-
sumers in Los Angeles, for example, pay
3 cents a pound for flour, at least cents
for potatoes, s IL cents for sugar, 8
cents for bread, 80 cents per pound and
up for meat; a $45 suit costs about Sill
a pound, a S. pair of shoes about So
pound. Regular gasoline, exclusive of tax,
by contrast, costs to 2 IL cents per
pound, depnding upon where you live.
A gallon of gasoline in 1920 cost far
more and was greatly inferior to that
produced today. Competition between
oil companies has been responsible for
the improvement both in price and quail
ity. What is true OF gasoline is also true
to relative degree of every other COM
modify and service produced in this coun-
try. Our planes fly higher and faster
than the enmies', thanks to American in
dustrial competition Our jeeps, tanks
and armament are products Of the same
competitives system. Their quality and
quantity are the envy of the world. The
subjects of the dictators know not the
meaning of the word competition. That
is why they are losing the war, the bitter
est competitive struggle of all time.

It has been said countless times that
the strikes in war industries of this ma
ton were the result OF labor leadership
and did not represent the will of the indi-
vidual workman. The coal miners have
proved that theory doesn't hold water.
And the railroad workers threaten to fol-
low suit.
1t gives one sick feeling to read the
headlines, $50 b. S. BomberS and 600
Flyers Lost in Record Attack" Miners
Strike Spreads "Strike Paralyzes Ship
yard" "Walkout Closes Steel Furnace"
There is something wrong with the
thinking of any man on the home front
who enjoys all the blessings of personal
liberty, and then strikes in wartime in
stead of staying on his job and backing
the men on the war front who risk their
lives to preserve the liberty he enjoys.

Air Unappreciated Truth

Our government will go bankrupt if
highly productive private industry capa-
BILE of paying heavy taxes, is not encour-
aged and maintained in these days of
hundred illion- dollar war budgets. A
majority of people have no conception
Of the truth of this assertion. A single
industry, the railroads, are at the pres
ent time paying more in taxes than the
total cost OF the Federal government
few short years ago.
Railway taxes for the first eight
months of 1943 totaled approximately
81 200, 362, 900, or an average of $685.
600 day. This is at the rate of $2,044,-
100000 year. Statistical experts are of
the opinion that rail taxes for the calendar
year 1913 will be in the neighborhood of
possibly little more than $4,000, 000, 900.
It is estimated that 81 Or % per cent of
total railroad revenues in 1943 will 60 to
pay taxes.
It Is not an accident that the railroads
are able to pay such astronomical sums.
Neither Is It Just a matter Of writing
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-01

law and sending the tax collector around.
Back Of the railroads $4,000 900 tax
bill Is an epoch of transportation devel-
opment.
The railroads were laid down to make
commerce move. AS traffic demands in
ceraSed, they had to be prepared to ex-
tend this service. In boom or depression
rail transportation continued unfalter-
were poured into the expanding plant
The lessons OF experience became the
yardstick of operating efficiency. Rail-
ing. Billions of dollars of private savings
road men had but one objective - good
railroads.
These are few of the reasons why the
government today is able to collect ST.
000,000,000 in taxes from a railroad in
dustry. The same story could be told of
other heavily-taxed industries that were
originated and developed through the in
genuity and courage of free American
citizens.

Through the Roof

Civilians with war-inflated pocketbooks
are spending money as they never spent
1t before. Income taxes and bond buy
ing have barely touched the huge
amounts Of cash created for millions Of
individuals by government borrowing and
spending. Anyone walking through
shopping centers can hardly be blamed
for concluding that at least one group
is making a lot of money out of war, and
that group is retailers.
In fairness to the retail distribution
industry, few figures on chain store
operations, compiled from a recent sur
vey, should be brought to public atten-
ton. They show that new sales peaks
have not meant new profit peaks. Chain
store earnings = and the same is prob
ably true of independent retailers-have
felt the heavy hand of the tax collector
and the pinch of rising costs. Eighteen
representative chains cleared $131 ,000,-
600 last year, against SAL 100000 in
1871. The drop was brought about main
~ by drastice increases in taxes. In fact,
according to the survey, Taxes went
through the chain store roof" Ten variety
store chains paid $75,OOO,OOO, against
S17,OOO,OOO in 194O Two food chains
paid $17,O0O,O00 against $4,000,000.
The survey also showed that Gin the
past few years the chains have fought
a valiant battle to keep their prices steady
in the face of rising costs all down the
aisle. Profits margins have been cut
drastically.' Rising costs have been met
by heavier sales volume and still greater
operating efficiency
The public is getting better service at
less cost from the distribution system
than would have been though possible by
the merchants themselves comparative
ly short time ago. This is something to
keep in mind the next time you see shop
pers stacked six deep around the cash
register of the neighborhood merchant.

Save Democracy at Home

A statement by Matthew Vol, vice
president of the American Federation OF
Labor, made during the depression, sew
eral years before the national defense
program started, said:
"Our experience during the past five
years has proven conclusively that gov
eminent can only supply temporary re-
lief :. +. The real remedy for unemploy-
ment is the creation and maintenance OF
working opportunities for working men
and women in private industry.
There should be a complete revision
of our tax laws. Taxes provide the great
est single contribution 70 the cost of liv-
ing today. It makes no difference
whether these taxes are paid in the first
instance by big business, industry, the
public utilities, the railroads, the banks
or the Insurance companies - it is the
ultimate consumer who pays them in the
end. There is abroad the general
belief and conviction that the tax policy
of the government coupled with its ap-
parent attitude toward industry, is pre-
venting the normal expansion of Ameri-
can industry"
How much truer will those words be
after this war is over than they were
before the defense program started. A
continued pOllcy OF progressive CdXdClOu
which increases step by step to point
of virtual confiscation of earnings, actu
ally prohibits the investment of savings
in industrial expansion that will be need
dto furnish employment attire the war.
A tax plan should be prepared now to take
effect Immediately the war stops, which
would offer incentive to every workable
dollar to get out and take chance in
the production field, thereby creating
jobs and steady employment. That is the
only way to save democracy in this coun-
try.

Lobbying has flourished since
the days when Southern planta-
ton owners and real-estate men
first high-presSured the Foupnd-
ing Fathers into making the mud
flats of the Potomac the Capital
of the United States. But today
it has reached perhaps its high
est peak in history.
Every one of these lobbies is in
tent on getting something for
itself, regardless Of the greatest
good for the greatest number.
They are not interested in what is
good for the nation. They are in
terested in what is good for their
own small minority.
Especially significant today is
that large preponderance of the
Hobbies are promoting something
which, If successful, would come
near bankrupting the nation
namely, initiation. They are bent
on getting higher prices or higher
wages or lower taxes or more bust
ness for themselves - regardless
of the effect on the rest of the
country.
Here Is the lineup Of some of
the most potent lobbies which
have ever thrown champagne din
ners or camped on Congressmen's
doorsteps in the Capital Of the
U. S. A.
The Cattlemen's Lobby has
about 200 men, off and ON, in
Washington, all OF them hard
hitting, likeable, beef cattlemen
putting up terrific fight for a
terrific fight for higher price for
meat. Joe Montague is official
head of this lobby, but inside OPP
orators are Congressman Dick
Kleberg of Texas, biggest ranch
owner in the world, and Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture Gro
yer Hill, from Amarillo. Secretly,
the cattlemen are allied with the
big meat-packers, and though not
all of them realize 1t, the meat
packers very wisely use them as a
down-to-earth front for a lot Of
their operations in Washington.
TAX LOBBY POWERFUL
The Tax Lobby-This Is prob
ably the most powerful and pain
less in Washington. At its head
are several unobtrusive but famous
figures.
One is Ellsworth Alvord, for
mer attorney for Andrew Mellon,

BOMBS OVER FoRMosA
(Christian Science Monitor)

Reasons behind the raid on For
mosa by twenty American planes
are necessarily secret. 1t might
have been a blow aimed at a con-
voy, or at concentration of re-
Inducements for the island out
posts. It may have been a slap at
an airfield used by the Japanese as
a relay point.
Formosa has served very well as
a Japanese baStion. Before Pearl
Harbor, 1t was used as a staging
area for the troops that later swept
southwark to Malaga. the East In
dies and to the nearby Philippines.
1t was on this dark and secretive
island that much Nipponese strik-
ing power was quietly assembled.
While 1t is true Formosa lies
astride the Japanese line of COM
munications to her ill-gotten en-
pire, and is, as a consequence, an
important item in the Allied scheme
Of island hopping, 1t Is hardly rea-
sonable to conclude this bombing
attack is prelude to any imme-
date attempt to land there. For
mosa is only 100 miles from
Tokyo.
Much yet remains to be done in
the Southern and Central Pacific,
notably around Truk, before the
Allied forces move in that close to
the Japanese homeland.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-01

The Railroad Wage Lobby is just
as potent as any OF the business
Hobbies, if not more so. Some of
its members, especially George
Harrison, can get into the back
door of the White House just about
as easily as Judges Vinson and
Byrnes, and they don't hesitate
to do So
The Soft Drink and Tobacco
Neutrality-suspicious. champions
of this lobby are Congressman
Doughton of North Carolina, who
looks out for the tobacco inter-
ests, and Georgias Senator
George, who, coming from the
home Of Coca Cola, protects soft
drink interests. When the Treas
ury proposed an increased excise
tax on soft drinks and tobacco,
these ito promptly helyped to
knock 1t out.
Meanwhile, Economic Stabinzer
Vinson of Kentucky, who comes
from the second largest tobacco
growing district in the country
and state which produces more
whiSkey than any other, recon-
mended higher excise taxes on
both tobacco and drinks, both
hard and soft.
TIE Oil Lobby doesn't need
much of an organization in Wash
lngton because it has both Secre-
tary Ickes and Congressman Wes-
ley Disney of Tulsa working for it.
1t has waged a powerful battle.
The Apple Lobby has Senator
Byrd of Virginia, biggest apple
grower in the world, plus Con-
gresham Willis Robertson of Vir-
ginia as its spokesman. They
helped to raise the price of ap-
Piles.
The Citrus Fruit Lobby is repre-
scented by Carl Loess and is wag-
ing a terrific fight for higher
prices on oranges and grapefruit.
Then there are the Dairymen's
Lobby, represented by Charley
Holman, and working closely with
the big milk companies; the
Gamers Lobby, whose arl Love-
gren has now been put into
strategic post inside OPA; the
Millers' Federation headed by Her.
man Falker, whom government Of
ficials credit with being more rea-
sonal than most; the Peanut But
ter Lobby, and dozens of others.
Most of them are officially out
for higher prices, higher wages,
lower taxes-but actually are lob
bying for initiation.

Connecticut highways have been kept
pretty clear for many winter. In the
midst of the worst snow storms, you could

to "get through, as they say, to your
destination. This, however, will be a
tough winter should the weather prove
equally tough. There will be a manpower
shortage, naturally The State Highway

Commerce. A former employe of
the Senate Finance Committee of
which Senator George of Georgia
is chairman, Alvord boasts that
he has Senator Georges vote on
taxes in his pocket. He Is one
of the few men not connected
with the Senate who regularly at
tends Georges birthday parties
given in Ed Halsey's office.
Another leader Of the tax
lobby is J. Cheever COwdin,
chairman of Universay Pictures,
and head Of the tax committee
of the National Association of
Manufacturers. One of the
wealthiest men in the country,
C0wdin has helped finance
Douglas Aircraft, ClEtiss-
Wright, Sperry GyrOscope, TWA.
He Is also an ardent believer
In the sales tax.
Working with him Is John
HaneS, former Undersecretary of
the Treasury, inside adviser to
Willkie, and the real promoter Of
the Ruml plan. Hanes is also an
investment banker and helped fl
nance Glenn Martin, Republic
Aviation and the MKT Rail
road. He Is owner of the big
gest orchid farm In the world.
Hanes, who comes from North
Carolina, pretty well influences
the tax vote of Chairman Dough-
ton Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, also from North Carolina.
Hanes is also associated with the
Johns Manville Co., and this
brings in another leader, of the
tax lobby, Lewis Brown of Johns
Manville.
Last year, tax lobby leaders
got together with Randolph
Paul, counsel for the Treasury,
and notified him that he would
have to accept the Ruml Plan.
Paul refused. ThereupOn en-
sued the famous Ruml tax fight
which ended with a victory for
no one.
Last fall, they also notified Paul
that he would have to accept the
sales tax. Again Paul refused.
That fight is still on.

Selected Poem
THE ERMINE.

John Zeigler in The New York Sum
From under what thicket,
Under what stone
Darts the quick ermine
White as the sown
Seed of the snow field,
White as the spun
Frost Of the morning
Cool in the sun?
o, seek out your btnroW,
Your home in the snow,
Each man is hunter,
Each man Is foe,
And you are but ermine
Though swift. as the crow
And brave as the beaver
And white as the snow.
