YOUR Representatives

Every time you draw your pay, or 60 to the store,
sit down to eat, go to your union meeting, you
should think of your representatives in Congress.
They've had plenty to do with how much money
you've got left after taxes-with how much you
must pay for the food you get-with your rights
rs unonist and American citizen-and in fact with
most of the details Of your everyday life
Here just few of the things the last
sion of Congress has done to YOU:
1t has taken out of your pay envelope tax
money that should have been paid by wealthy
taxpayers forgiven" by the 1870 Ruml plan.
1t has made your pegged wages buy less and
less, by crippIing OPA price control, by forbid
ding grade labelling and food standardization and
by resisting and restricting the administrators
plan for rolling back living costs through food
price subsidies.
1t has fOuted your nO-strke pledge, threat
ened your union and destroyed many of your
union and political rights by passing the Smith
CcnnalIy act.
This is but small part of a record of labor
batting, administration batting and politics as usual
that has promoted infation disrupted national unity
and weakened the cause you have most at heart
the speedy winning of this war.
Your Congressman and Senators have played
their part In this. They have either voted for you
or against you on all these ssues-or they have
lain down on the job by not voting.
Your representatives are home from Washing
ton now, until Labor Day.
Get acquainted with Them Find out II they've
truly represented you. Examine their record. Give
encouragement and support to those who have put
up good fight. Get after those who have voted
wrong. Remember they're YOUR representatives
and let them know how you want to be represented.
And let's all get together behind the CLOS pro-
gram for getting Congress back on the victory
BEAM This calls for:
Ql An active legislative committee In every
local union.
(2) Impressing labor's wishes on Senators and
Congressman, particularly during the present re-
cess.
(3) Conferences in every community of labor,
consumer and public representatives to which
members of Congress will be invited.
4) Special committees named by such
ferences to visit Congressional representatives.
(5) United action by CLIO, AFL and Railroad
BrOtherhoods through joint committees on To-
cal and statewide basis for legislative and pO-
litical work.
(6) Preparation for coming elections. Cam
paigns TO get every labor and progressive voter

IN general Patterson con-

SOLON PROPOSES
new MONEY PLAN
Continued From Page One)

Under existing taxes whatever
gain is realized on a risk is prompt
ly taxed away and the tax sys-
tenn gives little compensation to
whatever loss may be sustained
When the war terminates and re-
turning soldiers are seeking jobs
or are desirous of setting up new
enterprise themselves. our tax sys-
tenn should be so amended that it
will favor these adventurers in
trade and industry instead of
handicapping the initiative.''
Turning to his suggestion Of gov
ernment guarantees for reconver-
sion loans, Dewey wrote:
t'In a great many cases, per-
haps the majority, local banks will
need no encoura cement of any kind
to finance the reconversion of local
industries. But in order that there
may be assurance that capital in
the hands of the banks is made
available to industry, certain pro-
lection may have to be given the
banks.
"For this purpose I believe that
government machinery already in
existence could be employed. 1t
could be done simply through the
device of the government execut-
ing guarantees of loans made for
reconversion purposes. Such loans
by the local banks might be guar
anteed up to a maximum OF W per
cent and have a maturity not in
excess Of 10 years.
"The plan could be so worked
out that the amount of return which
the local bank would receive on its
loan to the local industry would
be based on a graduated scale to
encourage the local bank to assume
a higher proportion of the risk.
t'From the interest on the loan
paid by industry would be deducted
a guarantee fee but the amount
of guarantee fee the government
would charge the bank would de-
pend upon the peICellld5C VI 'ii
loan guaranteed by the govern
ment.
.Inasmuch as the graduated
guarantee charge would reduce the
local banks interest return, there
would be the natural tendency on
the part of the bank to keep the
percentage of government guaran-
tee at a minimum
