They will be eager for jobs or an opportunity
to start in business for themselves.
Suppose one of these young men wants to
set up little business. He goes to some of his
friends who have saved some money and they
incorporate. His wife may go with him as
out is that she has to be an accountant, Stats
tician, lawyer and tax expert all at once.
But even the experts cannot advise her how
to do business under the New Deal because
they can't understand the laws themselves. l

little gem for section % tP) of the present tax

THE latest semiannual edition of
Il Uniform Crime Reports" pub
lished by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and covering the first
half of this year, continues to reflect
the discouraging and alarming crime
trends evident since the beginning OF
the war.
The total volume of crime in the
United States increased 81 per cent
during this period, compared with
the same period in the preceding
year.
But the appalling and tragic
aspect of this situation is one that is
all too familiar.
This aspect is the proportion of
YOUNG PEOPLE among those re-
sorting to criminal enterprise.
"The predominating age of the
males arrested Das SEVENTEEN
and for females EIGHTEEN" says
the report.
"The largest increases for indi-
Uiduoi age groups uDere seen for age
SIXTEEN among the boys, and for
age TWENTY among the girls.
UHTORE than one-hdH OF all
N crimes against property Uere
committed by persons less than
TWENTY-FIVE years of age, &C.
cording to the fingerprintS received
at the Federal Bureau of InUestiga-
ton during the first half of 1914"
Staggering as these facts must be
to every thoughtful American citizen,
they measure only the minimum pro
portions of the problem.
For as the report almost grimly
observes
at should be remembered that
the number of arrest records in this
study is doubtless incomplete in the
loWer age groups, because of the
practice of some jurisdictions not to
fngerprint youthful offenders"
But if the situation is considered
solely or the basis of the facts pre-
sented, without reference to the add.
tional volume Of crime involving
youth undoubtedly existing outside
the record, the American people must
realize the nation has a problem on

Text of DeWey's Talk OH Taxes
Offers 6-Point Program for Revenue Revision

achieving and maintaining full employment
and rising standard of living for our people.
To that end l propose the following tax
program:
Revise the personal exemptions so that the
i man who makes as little as $11 week no
longer has an income tax taken out OF his
envelope.
Our objective in the peacetime years must
be expansion and recovery. We cannot achieve
that objective by taxes which eat into the in
come of those who are already below decent
American standard of living. However neces-
sary these taxes may be in wartime, there can
be no excuse for them in peace.
C-Reduce personal income tax rates. The
& tax law now takes at least 20 cents out Of
every taxable dollar after credit for dependents.
That cuts the living standard of every one who
lives on small wage. 1t would slow up our
recovery after the war We want to speed re-
covery along.
C-Change and lower the income tax on in
y corporated business companies until it no
longer acts as drag upon production and
barrier to Jobs The special wartime taxes
which now rise to % per cent should end with
the war.
These taxes, of course, are almost con-
hscation. If continued after the war, they
would encourage waste and inefflciency dis
courage low-cost production and block the ex-
pansion which creates job opportunities.

Tax Laws Changed Is Times

Our tax laws should be the most stable.
They have been the most unstable. Consider
just one startling fact:
The New Deal changed our tax laws Is
times in Il years.
1t actually passed two revenue acts that
were out of date before they could even go into
effect, because new laws had been passed in the
meantime.
How in the world can people plan ahead
when they don't know from one month to the
next what their taxes are going to be?
Moreover, under this administration. these
laws have even been used to discourage high
wages.
Here is an example. The Lincoln Electric
Co. is long established firm which manufac-
lures electrical equipment. 1t employs 1900
highly skilled and productive workers who have
enjoyed high wages for years, In 1941, those
1900 employees made an average of $4,000
year. But treasury agent went into that plant
and announced: .
"A man who works with his hands should
not be paid as much as $1,000 year"
have here photostatic copies of the treas
ury department notice to the Lincoln company,
marking the pay of worker after worker as
excessive"
