This Bourbonic
Plague E.
By LEWIS BOOTH

for the Dayton Daily News, mis-
lead his readers on Oct. IA and
Is, concerning:
l. The Sales Tax.
2. Wartime Strikes.
Schneider, who takes a consis-
tently corporate viewpoint On most
subjects, wrote that a "sales tax
hits all people equally" exactly
what Ellsworth Alvord, tax ex-
pert for the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, had said only a few
days before.
The Washington big business
lobbies r working tooth and toe
nail to sneak across a national
sales tax, thus further placing the
financial burden of the war on
the shoulders of low income
groups.
The fact is that a sales tax
state or federal-is undemocratic
and unfair. It is undemocratic
because it is not based on the
vital principle of liability to pay"
It is unfair because it hits in
come groups of $2,OOO-$3,OOO sew
eral times as hard as it does in
comes of $4,000.
A much greater proportion of
low incomes is spent for articles
subject to the sales tax than of
high incomes. Whereas the ST.
OOO-$3,OOOO group will spend al
most so per cent of its income
for things affected by the sales
tax, to the $4,000 $40, 900 group
will spend an average of only 20
per cent of its income for articles
subject to the tax. The higher the
income brackets go, the less pro-
portionate the sales tax becomes.
To top this off, low income
groups already r paying direct
and indirect state and federal
taxes which hit them proportion
ately harder than they do high
incomes.
Writing about wartime strikes,
Mr.. Schneider made it appear they
were quite a problem these days,
and would be dealt with thor
oughly when the "boys come
marching home"
Just two weeks ago, however,
Secretary of Labor Frances Perk-
ms condemned the very general
newspaper and radio propaganda
about wartime strikes, and de-
clared that since Pearl Harbor |
"the ratio of man-hours lost
through strikes for all industry
has been only a sixteen one-hun-
dredths of n per cent of the
number worked"
MIR. Schneider must have been
aware of the figures on wartime
strikes, since he syndicates a col
umn via Consolidated News Fea-
lures for the financial pages of
some of the nations most widely
circulated newspapers. We can
not then but assume that he was
acting according to design In ig-
noring statistics which would have
proved that union labor-despite
Idle and irresponsible statements
of the Peglers, Ka1tenborns and
Schneiders-has 1913 per cent con-
scientiously upheld its voluntary
and patriotic no-strike pledge.
A few weeks ago when Mrs.
Horace P. Dodge filed reasons for
divorce, she accused her husband

can petition the circuit bench or
the attorney general of Michigan
for grand jury. This right belongs

1.-THE NAACf', the Negro press,
and r. j. Thomas of the CLIO have
denied my qualifications to con-
duct grand jury. l accept the
challenge. I have no objection to
them asking any agency for a grand
jury, since they have no faith in
me. I shall be available, however,
If they should ever show they have
faith in nv ability to do the Job.

OF colored leaders and the press is
that they first report to me Incl
dents relative to the rioting or I'M
due police injustice. Stop protecting
law violators. If / should fail to
satisfy them by my investigations,
they can go to other higher agencies
or charge me with failing to per-
form my job"
