New Income PIun

In MS letter TO CHAIRMAN Dough-
ton Of the House Ways and Means
Committee, the President advances
two arguments in support of his new
income limitation plan
One is that the payment of high
salaries to some of those who remain
At home, even though subject to
very heavy income taxes, would "se-
riously affect the morale OF soldiers
and sailors" This, apparently, is an
expression Of the Presidents personal
opinion, unsupported by any evi-
dence. 1t may be, of course, that he
Is right, But, II one may judge from
the comments Of fighting men re-
turned to this country, the real
threat to the morale of the men at
the battle fronts-if it be assumed
that there actually is such a threat
lies in the turmoil and confusion,
the strikes and the failures, in our
war production program.
The Presidents second argument
Is that 1t is grossly inequitable to
pay president of a corporation
100000 year while workers in the
corporation are denied an increase
In wages under the program to
stabilize living costs Mr.. Roosevelt
leaves the impression that the cor
poration executive actually gets the
salary mentioned, ignoring the fact
that income taxes on high earnings
from this, however, there is merit in
the inference to be drawn from his
comment-that it would be unfair
snd unwholesome to permit a
wealthy man to improve his position
through wartime earnings when the
Government Is denying wage in
creaSes to others. But this is not
what the President actually is seek
Ing to prevent
For some time after the war, work
ers were permitted and encouraged
by the Government to demand land
receive) higher wages. Then, with
the PRONUNCIATION of the little steel
formula, an effort was made to deny
further increases. If Mr.. RooSevelt's S
present objective we're to apply the
same limitation to large salaries he
would have the full support Of the
country But this is not the case.
He is trying to cat every person S
- 3of Of
regardless Of whether the war has
anything to do with the size of the
income and even though the income
may have reached its peak long be-
fore the war began. A man might
have attained a 100000 income ten
years ago by dint of exceptional
ability and hard work. Mr.. Roosevelt
would cut down this income through
imposing an arbitrary ceiling, even
though the individuals salary might
have been decreased instead of in
creased by the war. There is nc
comparable proposal, Of course, with
respect to the War-inf1ated earnings
Of the workers and the farmers.
Much more equitable is the pro-
posal worked out by Representative
Disney of Oklahoma and approved
by the Ways and Means Committee
The Disney plan would clamp q
$4,000 net ceiling on incomes which
have risen during the war, and prob
ably as result Of the war, but woulc
permit those who were earning
higher salaries prior to Pearl Harbol
to retain them, subject, Of course tC
income taxes. This is plan which
does not penalize one group TO please

Two more rival state teams
counted victories over Michigan
basketball outfits today, a sur
prise in one instance.
Minnesota's vic tory over
Michigan State at Minneapolis
last night 1882 was generally
expected, but few had figured
that Western Michigan would
lose on its home floor TO 10y
ola of Chicago 1898.
While Loyola is given all
credit for being a crack small
college quint, the Broncos' de-
feat rated as an upset. The loss
stopped Western Michigan's win
ming streak at seven straight and
was the Broncos' second defeat
in ten games.
The Spartans. starting slow,
never could catch up with the
Golden Gophers and went down
to their seventh successive trim
ming despite Oliver Whites ID
points. State has yet to score
victory this season.
Dan Arnold found the hoop
for 20 points to lead Detroit
Tech to 50-25 victory over
the Romulus Army Air Base
team. 1t was Techs sixth VIC
tory in eight games.

Furthermore, the VIII I e.

in the decision and likewise
prohibited the Tigers from
