and lust is lot smaller now than
in other years. While the great
majority registered no objections
to paying big taxes with war on,
the ending of the war has brought
an increased longing on the part OF
many people TO get their tax bills
down.
In 1914, 90 per cent OF all tax
payers with opinions on the sub
iect felt that the taxes they had
to pay were fair. and in 1945. IS
per cent felt that way. Today the
proportion is down to 81 per cent.
In view of that change in atti-
tude, Congress is likely to have
greater public pressure put on it
for further tax reduction this
year than in any recent year. L
the present attitude continues,
further tax reductions may be the
leading issue in the November
Congressional elections.
The change in sentiment be-
tween 1914 and today is shown
below. All the surveys were con-
Quoted among income taxpayers
only. Each was asked whether he
thought the rate of tax fair.

they and white troops be united in the same COM

The FEPC has become not only symbol Of human
dignity but national reminder of things about democracy
that always forgetting
1t reminds us that every has the right to job
that he do It reminds also that no man has the
right to keep him from his job because of race creed
color.
1t reminds that in America there are no priortes
We stand in line only for butter and nyons but for
the right to work also.
1t sends lot of ebowing people back in line where
they belong to take their turn as do Others
1t announces to those greedy and stubborn barganers
who would trade democracy for racial power that our
way OF life not for sale either in Congress or else
where
And it is good reminder We can't do without it,
For the louder against it. the more apparent
it is that we need it.
1t is the folks who break democracys rules who don't
want democracys policing. These the very

To be achieved, cen though the earth should shakai

Danger Ahead
by Walter. j. Stevens

I returned to Boston, but a
year ago, after being away q
years. I expected to find it
somewhat changed from those
days of the 1905 which re-
member so well. I expected
the changes if any, would only
be material. I had no warning
that the atmosphere of Oliver
Wendell Holmes, that I thought
permanent, would be polluted
by a pint size Bilbo from Quincy
1 never expected to live to
see the day when MaSsachu-
sets citizens Of my race would
be excoriated and insulted by
being called ''Niggers." This
term applied to US was not the
result of a casual meeting Of
individual ideals. but was the
studied effort upon the part of
law maker Of Massachusetts,,
standing in the Halls Of the
Great and General Court OF this
State, serving as a representa-
tive Of the common people,
whose putrid blast shocked and
hurt a people who never harmed
him.
One would almost expect to
hear insults from Heaven de-
cend upon the unsuspecting
heads of our colored citizens as
likely as coming from the inn
