New Tax Plan
Runn| Rival
Would Exempt 4o1o
on Dividend Returns
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics. ~. \. University
Fortunately, at about the same
time that the new Ruml tax plan
is announced there appears an
other tax plan which will serve as
an excellent corrective. This is
the so-called Twin Cities plan, =
and il is just about the opposite
of the scheme sponsored by Ruml.
Instead of eliminating all cor
poration income taxes. 1t would
retain such taxes 10 large ex-
tent. Instead of taxing individual
incomes more heavily, il would
actually exempt from taxation 40
per cent of the dividends received
from corporations by individuals.
Instead of prohibiting a retail
sales tax, it makes such a tax an
essential part of its program.

would be done.
We talked to great many dele
gates at the Democratic Convention.
At first, we assumed they would be
cool to the AFL because of it's neutral
position and correspondingly warm to
the CIO for it's enthusiastic support.
But we were pleasantly surprised.
Every delegate to whom we spoke
expressed resentment over the CLOS
activities at the convention. Every one
of them clearly realized that CIO
support might turn out to be greater
liability than an asset. Their respect
for the AFL grew in proportion with
their increasing contempt for the Hill
NANTES
This might be attributed, at least
in part, to prejudice and emotional
grounds. But very important and
practical factor entered into the pic
ture. Because the Democrats are sure
of the CIO, they didn't hesitate to
kick them around. But because they
are not sure Of the AFL, they went
out of their way to be pleasant, COOP
erative and friendly.

Spurned and DisavOwed

They must take it and like it even
though the Democratic Party from
here on publicly spurns and disavows
them. And that is more than likely
to happen as time passes.
Early indications of it were appar-
ent in Chicago. The Democrats be-
came more than a little apprehensive
over the page-one Chicago Tribune
cartoons picturing Hill, the pants
presser, as their political boss.
Even Wallace got panicky over
being smeared with the CIO label
When he arrived in Chicago, reporters
asked him twice at press conference
whether he had conferred with Hill
man. He refused to answer. This was
the only question which provoked his
reticence.
Why was Wallace afraid to avow
his CIO allegiances? Because he
knew the would hurt him politically.
So by maintaining silence he dis
avOWed them.
If Hillman and his boys can take
such insults from their friends and
like them, they are welcome to the
pleasure.
ure.
As the campaign progresses, the
Republicans are bound to keep on en-
phasizing that the CIO Political Ac-
tion Committee is supporting their
opponents. The pressure Of this cam
paign issue will unquestionably force
the Democrats to continue snubbing
and repudiating the Hillmanites.

First point on the program called
for reallocation Of ship-building con-
tracts when cuts become imminent, so
as to maintain manpower balance
throughout the country. This would
avoid a shutdown of some yards while
others still have heavy backlog OF
contracts to fill.
Also, the WPB, would coordinate
the shipbuilding contracts OF the
Maritime Commission, Army and
Navy so as to have them expire on
"stagger" basis, instead of all at one
time, as has happened heretofore be-
cause of lack of consultation between
the agencies.
Point No. 2 calls for elimination
first of the graveyard" shift in the
yards when labor forces must be
pruned, and after that OF the second
shift. These have been the least pro-
ductive tricks" Workers would be
redistributed to the regular day shift.
Where hours are longer than 8 day
they would be reduced.
Finally, as cutbacks still become
deeper, weekly hours would be low
cred to the prewar 40-hour level. Thus
the impact of the cutbacks would be
gradual and serious unemployment
resulting from overnight cancellations
of production would be avoided.
The program is to be laid before
the WPB's Production Executive Com
mittee which is the final authority on
policy relating to cutbacks.
