Truman Goes Right and Left.
So went. I talked to scores OF
persons, all graciously willing to
help in my research. Armed with
the information I got from them
I pooled it with what had learned
by private investigation, and came
to this conclusion:
President Truman is going both
right and left.

dent part his hair? He PARTS 1t on
the left side, which has caused many
conservatives to believe that he
leans politically that way, and may
well result in his favoring some such
thing as naturalization of the
banks. The conservatives forget
that IN parting his hair on the left
side he has to brush 1t to the. ex-
treme right. This might well indi-
cate that the President is thinking
of no such thing as the nationaliza-
ton Of our natural resources, but is
actually planning to repeal or modi-
fly the Wagner Act.
Men who say they are in the know
told me that Mr.. Truman holds his
cards in his left hand when he is
playing poker, which, of course, is
an item of tremendous Importance,

and which must give the Russians
a deep sense OF satisfaction. Yet
and this Is equally significant
when he takes a peek at his carols
in stud or draw, he uses his right
hand to reveal the pips. And, I also
learned from a sound source that
when Mr.. Truman fills a straight,
he flashes a smile that is both right
and left, extending from one presi-
dental ear to the other.
So, in the face of those counter
balancing facts, who is to know
whether he favors giving the atomic
bomb secret to Russia or not?
Prodigal of my time, I continued
to unearth facts which would tend
to indicate which way the Presi-
dent is going.

If he got a ticket, he could manage
to see himself about getting 1t torn

the right is taken by some to mean
that he is against the socialization Of
medicine. and would like to reduce
the taxes on corporate incomes.
However, when the President ad-
justs the sock on his left leg he
invariably uses his left hand. What
does that gesture indicate? That
he fayors the SEC?

game, the President threw out the
first bali with his left hand. They
felt that a southpaw would just
naturally be stronger on the left
side than on the right. But re-
search uncovered the fact that the
ball he threw was a arp-breaking
curve-to the right. An isolationist
Senator swears he saw the ball

the basis of their effect on you per-
sonally, your decision would de-
pend on whether you make $4,000
a year or less. Under one plan the
greater relief would go to those
who make less than $4,000; under
the other to those making $4,000
or more.
That, roughly, was the differ
ence between the plan presented
to the House Ways and Means Com
nittee by Secretary of the Treas
ury Vinson and the plan proposed
by Representative Harold Knutson
ranking Republican member of that
committee. The Knutson plan was
said to have the favor of the Re-
publican Tax Study Committee.
Fayors Repeal Of Normal" Tax.
The essence of the Vinson plan
IS the repeal of the present 8 per
cent normal" tax now assessed
against all incomes above $500. The
essence of the Knutsop plan is a
20 per cent reduction in all income
taxes-"2o per cent straight across
the board"
Here is how the two methods
would work out for family Of
three:
If your income is $1,000 a yeal
you are nowspaying $12. Under the
Vinson plan you would pay nothing;
under the Knutson plan, $3.50. II
your income is $500 you now pay
$26. Under the Vinson plan you
would pay nothing; under the
Knutson plan, $2080. If your in
come is $4,000 you now pay s1o2
Under the Nnson plan you would
pay $63; Knutson plan, $82. The
difference continues to diminish
until you reach the $4,000 class, al
which point the situation changes
II your income is $4,000, the Knut-
son tax would be $40 less than the
Vinson tax. If it is $1,000, the tax
would be $50 less; $4,000, the tax
s2l3 less: $25000, the tax $1,28C
less; $4,000. the tax $3,975 less;
100000, the tax $10,83o less.
And so on up into the dream
world Of million-dollar incomes
There were 40 such incomes in 1912
the latest year for which the fig.
ures are available. If, however
your income is 100000 you arr
paying 100000 in income taxa.
If you didn't know. The Vinson ia,
would be $685., 900; the KnutSon ta2
only $720000 The Knutson ia,
would be S163,000 more attractive
to you.
There may be some people in the
$5, 1000, ,000-a-year class; there were
two in 1912. Such folks, if any
would benefit 100000 by the Knut-
son plan; only $149,970 by the Vim
son plan, difference of S750, ,030-
quite difference even without that
final $50.
Figures Indicate Battle Line.
These figures indicate how the
battle line will be drawn in Con-
gress, if the Republican leadership
goes through with its earlier pur.
pose to support a straight 20 PEI
cent cut and the Democratic ma.
jority follows the lead of Secretar,
Vinson. Politically, one party viii
be banking on the people of small
incomes, 100000 of whom woule
be relieved of all income tax; tn,
other party on people earning
$4,000 and up.
Numerically, the little folks ar
the stronger. Vocally, the strength
lies with the big folks; they hav
more ways of making themselve
heard.
However, this clearcut fight ma,
be avoided. A compromise offeret
by Representative Carlson, Repub
lican, of Kansas, may upset tn
plans of the party leaders. 1t wol
