don't think this column would be

mention of two fine gentlemen, one
of whom is "JODEY" GERALD
BARNES, head dispatcher at the
Post Motor Pool office. Barnes was
formerly a Corporal in the Quarter
master Detachment, and though a
civilian now, he is still a good soldier
at heart. He is the ace hurler for
our softbaIl team, but was unable
to make the trip to the coast with
the team because of his work. This
was one of the reasons the team
couldn't remain in the running in
the tournament shortage of
pitchers.
Another great guy whom ] am not

Melvin Schultz
President,
Local IL, UAW.CIO

Our Union has long supported as one of
Program that taxes must be based on ability
to pay.
If it is necessary to illustrate this prin-
ciple with round figures, then the tax set up
should be, roughly, no taxes on incomes under
$4,000 per year, steeply graduated above that
figure and top limit on individual incomes
of $4,000 per year.
In order to make this program the law of
the land we must elect the friends of Labor
to public office. Yet we cannot just ignore
the situation between elections.
Right now the utilities companies are play
ing with the idea of taxing the consumers
bills
There is proposed tax on gas bills in the
city of Toledo.
Most cities obtain franchise from utility
companies.
When a utility company has the oppor-
tunity to serve the people without being
charged for the right to this nice profit andl
then becomes involved in adding to the con-v
sumers' taxes it is time to let our elected Off
Gals know how we feel

Oppose Utility Tex

Efforts TO pass an ordinance placing a
sales tax of five per cent upon Toledo
utility users should be strongly resisted
by all citizens of Toledo.
The amount which such tax would
raise 100000 annually, would perhaps do
away with the necessity of refunding the
public debt, but the tax is wrong in prin-
ciple and creates an evil which is not
worth the gain to be achieved.
The necessity of passing sales tax on
utilities is but another evidence of the
failure of the state of Ohio under the adj
ministration of Governor John Bricker
to do something worth while with the
large surplus which reposes in the state
treasury. The failure of the administra-
tion to move to ease the debt situation in
the municipalities of Ohio should not be
taken out on the taxpayers of Toledo who
have been large contributors to the state
sales tax.
