Effective Price
Control Needed

Given democratic rationlng and
Elective price control, the amount
of money in circulation will no
longer determine prices. A sound
tax program must be a part of a
broader intimidation program.
The Go is in favor of overall
rationing and price control to see
to it that every man, woman and
child in the nation gets his share
Of the $500 in goods which the
President says will be available
this year. With ,dollar-and-cents
fixed prices; with prison sentences
as the penalty for speculation and
black markets; with a curb on
profits and a tax program levied
in accordance with ability to pay;
the so-called Imitation gap" need
no longer be a danger.
This excess purchasing power in
circulation would far easily
than today find it's outlet in the
purchase of government bonds and
stamps to help finance the war.
However, at the present time
there is a strong movement in Con-
gress to raise the bulk of the $16,-
OOO, 900, 900 in new taxes, asked by
the President, by increasing the
burden on the low income brackets
by additional sales taxes and forced
savings. We are not only opposed
to these new schemes, but urge
that exemptions be restored so
that no taxes would have to be
paid by single persons earning $500

taxes or what kind of taxes
The Ruml plan would put the
nation on a pay-as-you-go tax
basis by simply c~ancelling all 1912
income taxes totalling $1O,000,00O,-
600. The essence of this idea was to
let the wealthy individuals escape
taxes on swollen 1912 incomes. The
top layer of $4,000 taxpayers
would receive benefits equal to
those received by all the rest of
the nations taxpayers put together.
The Treasury, the CLIO and the
National Lawyers Guild are against
skipping 1912 taxes except for the
lower income brackets. Those IN
the higher would have to double
up in paying their tax bill, pos
sibly through an installment plan.
We see the Ruml plan is just the
reverse of this. The doubling-up
would take place solely in the
lower income brackets. In other
words, approximately 25,0OO,OOO,OOO
new taxpayers who didn't file re-
turns two years ago would have
to pay last years and this years
taxes in one year.

|H-S-P Pact
Referred to
Dept. Of Labor

After three months of negotia-
tons with the Management of
HSP on changes in the contract,
the membership requested to refer
the matter to Cancellation Service,
U. S. Department of Labor. Dur
ing the three months of negotia-
tons from the first of the year
up to March %, only three meet
ings could be arranged with Man
agement during this period.
Twenty-one changes were pro-
posed by the Union and out of the
total presented, only two minor
points were agreed upon. The
Union withdrew its demand on
several points and the balance of
the issues have been referred to
Cancellation.

Looking At The

With Russ Richeson

Organized labor and the administration r. completely in favor of
pay-as-you-go taxes but, we must remember, this is simply a method
of paying taxes It has nothing to do with the question of how much
, 1943-03-31

or less and married couples $500,
that exemptions for dependents
should be raised back to $500. The
CLIO also favors the repeal of the
so-called Victory Tax which vio-
lates all the principles of ability
to pay taxation. Increased rates
should be levied not on the low in
come brackets but in the upper
brackets starting at $4,000 a year
and increasing rapidly after $1,000.
All state and local bonds should
be taxed. Labor doesn't feel that
ccl pom clippers should be exempt
from taxation. Another special
privilege which obviously ought to
be eliminated is the device where
by wealthy couples file separate
returns, dividing up their income
in such a manner that only a mini
mum of taxes have to be paid.
CLIO Program
In meeting the problem of sky
rocketing corporation profits, the
CLIO program is very much to the
point It would increase the COM
bined normal and surtax rates on
corporations to SIS per cent. This
was proposed by the Treasury last
year, but scuttled in Congress. All
corporations would be limited to
a maximum of five per cent on the
first $10,OOO,O00 of invested capital
and to four per cent on amounts
above that. There would be a 100
per cent excess profits tax on all
profits above four or five per cent
on invested capital. This proposal
is designed to end the trickery
which permits corporations their
own methods of computing excess
profits.
AS a result of its preoccupation
with the Ruml plan and other pay
as-you-go tax proposals, Congress
has so far failed to get down to
brass tacks in working out a tax
program along the lines suggested
by the President. To refuse to
adjust taxes in accordance with
ability to pay is to make a cynical
mockery of the phrase economic
stabilization"; for there can be n o
sterilization if ceilings are imposed
and enforced on wages alone.
Thus we see that labor has a
great responsibility to fight for a
real victory tax program and to
prevent the vested interests from
repeating last years performance
thereby again passing a tax bill
which protects the profiteers and
hts the low income groups. Our
big job today is letting Congress
know that labor wants this pro-
gram fully carried out.

Resources And The Port

Under Governor Broughton's constructive
Leadership and encouragement North Caro-
lima has made tremendous advances in the de-
velopment of natural resources. AS result
the state has been enabled to fill an important
role in the nations war effort.
For obvious reasons it has been inadvisable

these new enterprises, but Tar Heels know
that much of the previous untouched wealth
within their borders is now being poured into

rate of production is increasing steadily.

war is ended North Carolina will occupy a
much higher place in industrial America

by automatic processes. 1t will be neces-

Placed On Spot

When individuals get done paying their taxes
this year, they will have better idea of
what industry means when it implores the gov
eminent to refrain from taxing away all the
profit which corporations should be laying
aside for the change-over to civilian produc-
ton at the end of the war
when the President nominated industry as
the job gver in his recent radio promises to
future veterans" said Wlfred Sykes, presi-
dent of the Inland Steel Company, ''he put
us the spot. If government does not per-
NIT us to deliver, it can then move in on
us with its responsibility for the idle war
veterans and war plant workers."
1t is one thing to tax true war profits or
true excess profits to the limit as a war ne
cessity. 1t is something entirely different to
prohibit industry from building up necessary
reserves. If tax nequties prevent in
dustry from making needed future develop
ments, those responsible for such a condition
will shout that capitalism is bankrupt, and
seek even higher taxes to put government
into business, to the death of American pri-
vate enterprise.
