Several points in the news

about the business conditions and
problems Of the day.
First I would put a matter
which almost every man and
woman will have noticed, namely.

government, but just the forms
we have 10 make out to let the
government know why we don I
pay so muchD The plain fact is
that our-tax system is too complex
and difficult for democracy
The much touted common man
of Henry Wallaces talks Just
can't understand it.
If you don't believe this. look
around at the places where you
can pay some one 10 fill out your
tax forms for you. / see them in
barber shops, drug stores and such
places.
Evidently something is wrong.
Either our public school system is
not the democratic thing We sup
posed, or else our tax system does
not belong here. Certainly the
schools don't make us safe from
tax troubles.

On the
business
Front
BY WARD SCHULTZ

Few Industries suffer more
than does the banking industry
from the loose use of the term
banker.
It's time that newspapers and
the profession got together 10
set up some yardstlck TO de-
termine what constitutes a
banker and what does not.
Goodness knows that the
banking profession has suffered
enough from the sins of its
members without being Saddled
with those of every fellow who
wears a white shirt and handles
either a dollar bill or bond
The other day in reporting
the Lansing grand jury actlvi-
ties, an official OF small loan
company was called A banker
Small loan company men are
about as close to being bona
fide bankers as Hitler is TO in
vading Washington
On many occasions, invest
ment brokers have been identi-
fed as bankers. For a long
time, the term has been loosely
applied -thnze-wotkiRg for
trust companies
I'm by no means convinced
that even part of the blame
should be laid at the door of the
newspaper profession. LegItl-
mate commercial bankers have
done little 10 help themselves in
this respect
Finance companies have huge
bank signs over their doors
and often operate under bank
charters: trust officers often

ADVOCATE CONTROLS

A third item tells Of group
81 businessmen who are publicly
advocating that The war controls
be relaxed gradually so that
they may be guaranteed against
declines in price or inventory
loss. AS il real business IN A free
world were cake which YOU
could both have and cat And
certain lumber manufacturers are
urging that the OPA hold their
prices down throughout any post
war boom, so that the same prices
can be held up during the follow
ing recession,
In other words. the OPA would
always be either pushing or pull
ing. the ceiling would hit the
floor. and there would be no room
for democracy.
