Quoted by students of the White Plains,
WE HAVE appeared before church
w groups service clubs and other
organizations. These good people
have listened to us and have encour-
aged us in the study we're making.
Our most notable experience was
our invitation to attend, in a body,
the June meeting of the Common
Council of White Plains, New York.
Our mayor, Hon. Chauncy T. S.
Fish, welcomed us. The regular bust
ness of the council was suspended in
order to give us time to present an
oral report on our project of juvenile
delinquency. We are grateful to
Mayor Fish and our councilmen for
giving us this privilege to be heard.
This experience showed us all the
more clearly the WORKINGS OF A
GREAT DEMOCRACY.
WE WONDERED if such treat
w ment of youth could be possible
in other parts of the world.
Our recommendation to the Com
mon Council was the creation of a
youth center, under the department
of recreation; supervised by men and
women trained to work with young
people.
This is our recommendation to
all city governments throughout the
United States.
Youth should be represented IN
THE PLANNING of these youth
centers. A youth center would cater
to the activities of youth on PRO-
GRESSIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE
PLAN. The council assured us that
consideration would be given to our
proposal.

Policing the AirIineS

At the Oklahoma City meeting
the national association of state avia-
tion officials presented an approved
program whereby the maintenance
of standards of competence of fliers
and certification of aircraft" would
be recognized by the states as func-
tions of the federal government, and
state responsibility would be mainly
to "assist" in the enforcement of the
federal regulations.
Likewise, the same association
submitted set of proposed uniform
state laws, to be adopted by the 48
legislatures of the states, which
would be complementary to the fed
eral laws and would govern such
auxiliary items as airport location
and safety.
Finally, multiple" state taxa
ton of airlines having been declared
unconstitutional by the U. S. SUI
preme Court, the Federal Civil Aero
nautics Board is formulating, by
congressional request and in direct
consultation with the states, an avia-
ton tax program which would pre-
vent tax duplication while also
protecting the rights of taxing
jurisdictions. "
TT is quite apparent that accept
l. ance of comprehensive program
along these lines would be entirely
within the framework of the Ameri-
can system of federal and state dual
government.
At the same time, it would facili
tate the widest possible development
of domestic air transportation with
the greatest attainable degree of
safety in air travel.
The problem is one that has an
important bearing on our foreign
trade and international affairs.
Postwar aviation will be global
activity involving numerous relation
ships with which the Civil Aero
nautics Board will have to deal.
The international civil aviation
conference at Chicago is graphing
with some of the issues now, with no
immediate success.
The blishment of an adequate
INTERSTATE aviation policy is the
obvious pre- requisite to any INTER
NATIONAL commitments which the
American people could be asked to
approve.
For the federal government must
have necessary and interchangeable
authority over all domestic aviation
before it can exercise competent SUI
pervision over American airlines en-
gagged in foreign service or over
foreign aiflines extending to the
American field.

FAIR ENOUGH

ONLY recently has the federal
~ income tax been subject
of personal interest TO practi-
cally all Americans engaged IN
gainful occupations
Until a few years ago II was
strictly a class tax and those
of the great majority, finding
themselves immune. were indif-
ferent 10 faults in the law, the
malicious political adminlstra-
ton of the law and the very
amendment. itself. which estab-
lished the income tax.
Thus, the demagogue could
freely and convincingly de-
nounce as the walls of avarice
all criticism of this tax regard
less Of their soundness and
morality.
Perhaps now, however. a
large audience will give consid-
Grafton to some important de-
fectS. the most cynical of which
is a preference for society" or
the community as against the
family, the basic unit of civili-
cation.
This disapproval of the family
is expressed in several ways in
the income tax laws. and under
the Roosevelt government has
become more emphatic and dis
criminatory.
Thus, a citizen with, say, four
wholly dependent relatives liv-
ing outside his home is allowed
10 deduct for their entire sup
port a total of only $1,000 at
the rate of $500 each.
Any money which he con-
tributes TO heir living beyond
the maximum deduction of $500
each, or little more than 81 a
day, is taxable as income, al
though all the emotional econo-
mistS of the Roosevelt party
long ago denounced as danger
Gus and degrading poverty a
standard of less than SIC a
week.
According 10 current pro-
poSals which the New Deal is
offering in Congress. sic week
is now disgracefully low and
the minimum wage should be
raised to $40 a week for en-
ployed persons.
But the deductible allowance
for the support OF a wholly de-
pendent relative. even though
that person be a helpless invalid
requiring scare. medical atten-
ton and medicine, remains at
Sl.39 a day.
-TNIE person who earns the
Il income which supports such
dependents naturally will obey
the family instinct and provide
for them beyond the deductible
limit. paying on the excess an
income tax which then is used
for the purpose of society" and
the community" words which
naturally suggest socialism and
communism.
And this means, of course,
that he must pay for the sup
port If the dependents Of other
citizens before he is permitted
10 complete his own natural
obligations to his own family.

We are mindful of the fact that
older men, with overlooking boards,

Yes, our young men and women

While we can praise our con-

not excuse their wrong actions.
Our generation is TOO COM

then do our real thinking AFTER

among young men and women in the
trail of our large army camps. This
deplorable situation CAN BE COR
RECTED.
We need greater cooperation and
coordination between our army

with which to combat delinquency in

THE conflict over federal or state
i control of civil aviation is one
that NEEDS TO BE ended very soon
and there is now prospect that it
WILL BE ended soon.
f.. Under an act of Congress passed
in 1888, the Civil Aeronautics Board
exercises federal authority over air
routes and rates and the broader
aspects of air safety.
However, that law was demon
strated in practice to be incomplete
in one respect-simply because 1T
was silent on the matter it permitted
states to impose regulations of their
own within their borders.
Consequently, condition arose in
which an airline traversing two or
more states might be called upon to
comply with several sets of rules
enforced by different authorities and
embodying different requirements.
TN ADDITION, certain aviation
i companies have been subjected by
two or more states to SEPARATE
tax levies on THE SAME properties
and airlines "in transit. J."
These duplicate tax liabilities
have interfered with sound business
economics and have complicated the
federal task of rate making.
Indications now are that these
impediments will be removed.
A federal law has already been
proposed in Congress which would
give the federal government EXCLU-
SIVE JURISDICTION over air
traffic.
This would relieve commercial
aviation of the tremendous obstacle
of trying to conform to conflicting
laws along the routes of interstate
airlines.
Furthermore, it would be proper
exercise of federal power under the
interstate commerce clause of the
Constitution.
THE principle involved was well

mental structures. There can be no
honest or reasonable objection to
such program.
But it must be a program of all
the people after all the people have
been made familiar with all of it's
aspects through the agency of frank
and open and general discussion.
In the recent home rule campaign,
there was an impression, however, err
roneous, that the bill was designed
somehow to benefit the few at the
expense of the many; that it was
so-called silk stocking amendment.
Some of the more cynical or re-
alistic local politicians charged pub
licly and often that it was merely a
polite cloak to cover Republican at
tempts to regain control of Wayne
County after IL lean years.
uOME rule is too important and
III necessary reform to be the in
strument of partisan political con-
troversy.
Properly conceived and admins
tered, it will be an inevitable asset to
all political parties and to all of the
people.
We hope that, when it is pre-.
sented the next time, it's sponsors will
be recruited from the ranks Of Re-
publicans and Democrats and labor
and white collar workers and farmers
and everybody else.
