PECULIAR INCOME TAX LAW
THE DISTRICT of Columbia has a

'IilE DISTRICT of Columbia has a very peculiar
income tax law. 1t provides that everyone
"domlclled' in Washington must pay a tax on his
salary.
The court of appeals has just decided case
wherein federal employee who lived and worked
in the District for AZ years is not subject to the
tax because he claimed that his "domcile' is in
Florida his former home. This claim hangs on the
fact that he was working for the government; if
he had been in private employment he would pay
Thus government employees, which of course
includes Senators and Congressman, escape the
tax, if they claim "domicile' elsewhere.
Citizens OF the District have no voice in their
government. They merely pay taxes for the priv
iege of living in the capital of the worlds greatest
democracy. They are considered incapable of
handling their own affairs; incompetent wards of
the government; about on the same plane as
Indians and poll-taX victims and below the level
of Filiplnos and Puerto Ricans.
And thousands of our boys are overseas fight
ing for democracy

YES, 1T is SURPRISING

1T WAS QUITE surprise to labor on the Pacific
Coast to learn that our u. S. office of Censor
ship has appointed Publisher John ID. Knight to
a key position in the censorship setup in England
Mr.. knight is the publisher who runs the Detroit
Free Press the Akron Beacon-Journal and the
Miami Herald. 1t was the Akron sheet that
originated and published the fake yarn about
Union Sailors refusing to unload cargo for the
Marines on Guadaicanal. TO date, though the
phoney yarn has been proved false, Mr.. Knights
paper has never apologized Thoroughly anti-abol
and deeply preJudiced against all workers who
organize to improve their standard of living Mr.
knight is going to censor the news we get from
England. May we look for some red hot stories
soon panning the daylights out of the British
labor unions?

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Use of the International Labor Or
ganzatiOn as the responsible agency
for insurance procurement of needed
raw materials from Latin America
without exploiting the underprivileged
workers in those countries, is urged by
Robert j. Watt, AFL international
representative.
Mr. Watt, who recently served as a
member of commission which in
vestigated conditions in the tin mines
of Bolivia, writes:
Il believe the enforcement of inter
national contract can be achieved and
misunderstanding eliminated or at
least minimized by placing the en-
forcement assignment in the hands of
a responsible international agency.
This can be done by mutual agreement
without surrendering any basic au-
thority or impairing any nations self
esteem
"The International Labor Organiza-
ton could provide the vehicle through
which collaboration or independent
sovereign states could be accomplished,
the sovereign states agreeing to main
tain international standards.
"Such agreement could provide the
machinery which would enable our ma
ton to secure needed materials with
out exploiting the underprivileged and
without violating the national pride or
sovereignty of the nations with which
we are doing business"

"The foundations of modern indus
trial state are now being laid in the
interior of war-torn China with the
labor and enthusiastic support of the
workers who are firmly determined to
win the war;" writes Hsueh-fan Chu,
president of the Chinese Association of
Labor, Chunglling, in a report on eco
nomic and social conditions in his nd-
tive country to the American Office of
the International Transport Workers
Federation.
Mr.. Hsueh-fan Chu attended the in
ternational maritime conference in
London, England, last summer, as the
representative of the Chinese sea
farers. He returned to Chungking last
November after lengthy sOjourn in
the United States, during which he
collaborated closely with the I. +. E.
in efforts to improve the conditions of
the Chinese seamen and gain recogni-
ton for them in the war shipping eff
fort of the United Nations
New factories have been set up
though the situation has become in
creasingly difficult Mr.. Hsueh-fan
Chu observes. "A gigantic plan for the
extension and ampliticatiOn of the in
dustrial area of the North West has
been drawn up by our Government.
Progress i'm the conditions of Chinese
labor in general has been notable.
Though comparatively low paid, the
workers can at least earn an improved
living. Labor'S welfare is seriously
considered and warmly supported by
most of our people. In our Association
which comprises the organized workers
of our country, we have just started
relief work for skilled and semi-Skilled
workers who had to be evacuated from
the occupied areas and will soon be
employed elsewhere. Other welfare and
social measures are carried out Stel
by step"

Subsidies in Europe
(NeW York TineS)

|
 This country is not the first to be threatened by imitation, and neither would it be the first to try to offset the undesirable consequences of imitation by subsidies. Experience with such subsidies however, has not been favorable
 Germany in the tremendous imitation that marked the first years of the Wemar Republic, tried to keep commodity prices down by keeping railroad rates down to level that failed to than in- significant fraction of current operating costs While the railroad personnel increased from 100000 in 1913 to 1ll0000 in 1920 and the prices of all required materials went up freight rates and passenger fares in 1923 much less than 10 per cent tin gold) of the 1913 level. As the railroads were owned and managed by the Governments of the Rechs states, and the deficit covered by loans granted by the Reichsbank out of additional banknotes this amount ed to virtual subsidy This subsidy did not reduce but, the contrary increased the quantity of money in circulation and thereby prices.
 e But the main example of subsidies provided by Austria The Government in the years from 1919
 to 1921 fixed food prices level far below market prices The difference between market prices and the official prices borne by the Treasury Thus every resident could buy his allotted ration at the official price It precisely this apparent success that increased the imitation. The only method that the Government used to obtain the funds needed to borrow from the Central Bank. The Bank expanded its credit beyond all rational limits In the second part of 1921 the deficit in the budget amounted to 51 per cent of the expenditures The food subsidies accounted for more than half the deficit. The abolition of the food subsidies at the end of 1921 the first step toward balancing the budget and preventing further nfation In the of 1922 the Austrian crown could be stabilized
 It may be argued that such precedents cannot be applied to present-day America. But the sup porers of subsidies would be loss If asked to cite
 single instance in which subsidies proved in the long run to be successful n stcmmng the tide of l inflation.
