Federal Control Idea Opposed

The questions addressed by members to Mr. Forresta,
and today to Rear Adm. j. r. Redman. the navy's
munications' chief seemed to imply that the
mendation Of private company might find merit in
Congress- but that the addition of government controls
would meet overwhelming opposition.
When Mr.. Forrestal was challenged on this point he
retired somewhat from the navys plan by SAYING ut

civilian nature of the American government that the

But there another interesting disclosure, which
confirms the impression that civilians who put uni

the War VIGOROUSLY Make Peace PERMANENTLY Bring Our Boys Home PROMPT
FOOIhardy Taxation

INDICATIONS are appearing that
L the income tax racket may de-
stroy itself.
But the process can be only dam
aging to the American people.
A lucrative center for this form
of exaction has been Hollywood.
The most successful motion pic
ture stars are paid some of the
highest salaries in the country.
But under the prevailing federal
surtax rates, not much of their legiti-
mate earnings are left to them.
In their case, the INJUSTICE of
confscatory taxation is doubly dis
couraging.
Not only are they deprived of the
rewards of talent and effort during
their prime years: besides that, their
years of large earnings are relatively
few.
IF THEY cannot benefit meritori-
l. ously at the only possible time,
the effort of career is hardly worth
while.
Confronted With this dilemma, a
considerable number of famous stars
haze given up their profession.
The industry loses their services.
The public loses the benefit Of
their performances.
And the government loses the
future income taxes which they
would be willing and able to pay
II the government permitted.
The same thing is happening in
other industries and in finance, al
though the public hears too little
about it.
An instance which has just be-
come known is that of Mr.. Frank
Phillips, chairman of the Phillips
Petroleum Co.
Mr.. Phillips had been receiving
salary of $4,000 year as chairman.
AT THE annual meeting OF the
"A concern, Mr.. Phillips reported to
the stockholders that since Feb. l he
has been serving in the same capacity
AS A DOLLAR-A-YEAR MAN.
He explained that the federal and
New York state income taxes had
been taking so much of his income
that his $4,000 salary as chairman
had been reduced to $309.36.
IN OTHER WORDS, OF THE

If there any doubt that government supervision Of

$4,000 SUPPOSEDLY PAID TO
MR.. PHILLIPS FOR HIS EXECU-
TIVE SERVICE, S49,69064 WAS
GOING TO THE TAX COL
LECTORS.
Because of his relationship to the
business, Mr.. Phillips did not choose,
or perhaps was not free, to retire.
On the other hand, he said he saw
no reason why the company should
pay out $4,000 year in order to
give him $309.36.
In this instance, the company re-
tains the services of Mr.. Phillips.
But Mr.. Phillips loses $30936 year.
AND THE FEDERAL AND
STATE GOVERNMENTS LOSE
NEARLY $5o,oOol
OF COURSE, income taxes are
" war taxes now and are necessa-
rily onerous.
But the war will be over one Of
these days, and what about income
taxation then?
Are these communistic and de-
structive income tax practices to
prevail after the WARP
If so, the whole nation will lose.
For if competence in any field OF
endeavor is not to have its just re-
ward. THERE WILL BE NO IN
CENTIvE FOR COMPETENCE TO
EXERT ITSELF.
And there WiU be no huge in
come tax revenues for politicians to
squonder when there are no large
incomes left-when, in fact, nobody
but a fool would accept large
income.
One of two things must happen.
Either the income tax racket
must be allowed to destroy itself, and
to ruin the country in the process,
or else Congress and the legislatures
of the states will have to put stop
to the racket.
Perhaps the states will act in
time.
Seventeen legislatures have al
ready adopted resolution to limit
PEACETIME federal income, in
heritance and gift taxes to 25 per
cent.
Fifteen additional states must
take the same action to procure the
necessary amendment to the federal
Constitution.
