The. Postwar Black Market

Big business and little business, in fact any kind of business, loves the working man as long as he has money to spend.
 If Congress persists in reducing taxes for MT. Big and MT. Little without taking MT. Labor into con- sideration, pretty soon MT. Labor won't have any money for anything but taxes, and when MT. Big and MT. Little will have to live on refunds from Congress. That will be tough, but they can make it.
 The House recently passed a re- conversion Tax Bill, designed to improve the cash positions of most business enterprises.
 The Bill provides no relief for individuals, but the Senate has been urged to amend it so as to safeguard the purchasing power of war workers and other individuals. whose income will drop in the re- conversion period.
 The proposed amendments were as follows:
 CD An increase in personal in- come tax exemptions of $500 to $1- 900 for each individual, while con- tinuing the $500 credit for depend ents.
 CD The elimination of the 3 per cent tsnormal tax, the successor to the victory tax"
 (3) Permitting individuals to car ry over and carry back for two years their unused personal exemp- tion and credits for dependents.
 Workers have been good bond buyers. They are largely the pur- chasing power for most of the goods manufactured and if pur- chasing power is to be retained by them they should have the same relief as business, either big or little.
