Another RumI PIon

Beardsley Ruml, whose work in put
ting over the Ruml plan for the pay-as-
you.go income tax deduction received high
praise from the National Association OF
Manufacturers, has come up with another
proposaI which must have the NAM big
wigs cheering for him.
Ruml's new plan, which is supposed to
be stimuIant for production, proposes to
do away with corporation taxes. Unsmh'
ingIy. the plan has been given to some
congressman for their study and cOnsid-
Grafton.
If the present congress had not piled
Nm such miserable record of favoring the
corporations and high bracket income
BOYS for the past Is months, we would
be inclined to consider the latest Ruml
proposal with good natured tolerance. AS
it is, knowing the mentality of the pres
ent congress, we can only hope that Rumi
will not be permitted to get away with
this newest device to save the poor cor
porations from the tax collector.
While the Ruml plan for saving the
corporations is fantastic to the average
person, il can and will be dressed up in
what may appear to the unthinking as
good logic. Basically, the plan seems to
say that the more money the corporations
have to spend for taxes, the less they will
have to invest in production. Since en-
ployment is dependent upon production,
the workers will benefit from the tax
money the corporations do not have to
pay the government.
Such reasoning, simple as il may seem,
can lull some of the people of this
country into the belief that the corpora
tions are charitable institutions, bubbling
over with love of the workers and only
seeking to find ways and means of en-
ploying them.
Our greatest problem-after the war
lis how the great new plants, built with
public money, can be kept in production
when the industrialists and corporations
are already crying for their liquidation.
We do not need plant expansion as sug-
gested by the new Ruml proposal, but
full production in the present gigantic
plant setup.
If Beardsley Ruml gets by with this
one, his reward may be the job of secretary
Dewey, where he will make the late An
drew Mellon look like a piker and thus
earn the description-"The greatest sec
retary of the treasury since Alexander
Hamilton.

BREAKING THE FORMULA

Washington advices tell us that the little
steel formula which has been the guide for
the National War Labor Board in granting pay
increases to the workers since the establish
ment of the Board is soon to be broken.
Broken" is not quite the right word.
What the Washington prophets mean is that
the little steel formula is about to be modified
Modification of the formula cannot come
too soon for the workers of this country, who
have witnessed the breaking down of all bar
riers against the big income boys, permitting
them to earn unlimited incomes, while the
barriers protecting the workers have been
Systematically and gradually been torn down
by those who have profited by the increased
cost of living
RENT CONTROL
AS an example of what mean, take the
recent Price Control Continuation Bill which
admittedly gives the landlords, Gamers, cloth
ing manufacturers and other interests an op-
portunity to make more money by getting
higher prices, or by producing inferior goods
at the same price.
While price raises are taking place in all
lines and have been occurring for many
months, the National War Labor Board has
had its head stuck in the sand like the ostrich
seeing no evil. 1t still hands down the same
decisions which it handed down from the be-
ginning, and then making some minor
change to prove to the workers that it recog-
nizes some slight economic changes but never
coming right out and honestly saying that it
recognizes that the workers are paying more
to live.
ONLY SENSE
It's only good sense to make change in
the little steel formula. This change must not
be built upon myths, guesses, or arbitrary fig
ures. 1t must represent an approach to reality
based upon the actual increased cost of living
to the workers and the largest profits thaa
industry has ever earned.
Industry, which is seeking to make it ap-
pear that its percentage of profit is based upon
larger volumn of production than before,
must cease trying to fool the American work.
ers. Regardless of volume, the workers are the
ones who made the production possible and
they, too, should be given their fair share of
these profits
By all means let the little steel formula be
modified Let it be radically altered SO that
the workers dollars will be measured by what
they purchase and not by figures which were
large in depression times
