PROFESSORS TO "ADVISE" LAWMAKERS
Members of Congress to Be Treated Like SchooIboys; "Intel-
Iectuals' Will Receive $40, 600 a Year; A DngerOus Schenl

Of course this newspaper believes in progress, but there re a To-
of proposals masquerading under that attractive name which should
be closely scrutinized before they r given public acclaim.
This observation is provoked by a headline in a morning paper
Lawmakers"
1t would appear that, under the reorganization bill put through in
the closing days of the last season of Congress. the Librarian Of Con-
gress is selecting the most impressive list of advisers the National
Legislature ever had"
They are to be college professors and their pay will be $4,000
q year. They will advise" Congress on such subjects as international
political relations; money and banking; international economic rea-
tons; labor; full employment; legislative organization; state govern
nlent; taxation; public administration, and many more.
No CRUSADERS are wanted, we are told, but, if one may judge from
the partial list so far made public, these "advsers' will be an extremely
conservative crowd.
Of course, they IT. supposed to gather facts for the lawmakers and
to refrain from writing their own ideas into their reports.
II they are angels from heaVen, they might be able to do that, Bat
being ordinary beings, there isn't one change in a hundred that their
findings UH remain truly facuaI and objeciUe.
In the judgment of this paper, this is n of the most dangerous
experiments undertaken in connection with the National Congress
Furthermore, labor stands to lose more than any other group.
Anyone who knows how experts work knows that this army Of
college professors will undertake to write the laws of the land. The
ordinary member of Congress will be tremendously impressed by their
learning" He will hesitate to pit his conclusions against those CT intel
lectuals' drafted from the great institutions of learning.
If he is bold enough to suggest that the "advsers' may be wrong,
his colleagues are likely to treat him a a n insolent upstart.
The idea that Congress n be reformed" by placing it under the
tutelage Of college professors is all rot. Members of Congress n not
schooboys. If they are not properly equipped for the job of making
laws, they should be rejected by their constituents in favor for men who
have more brains and experience.
Since the first Congress convened, our Federal House and Senate
lave always had strong men and weak men, good men and bad men,
progressves and reactionares, those who favored the people and those
who favored special privileges.
But, all IN all, Congress hos done q good lob, infiniteIu better than
any other Legislative body In the porld. &
1t can be improved, but the way to improve it is to elect ADLER men,
more experienced, more devoted to the public welfare. - Labor.

WHO ARE ITS ASSOCIATE MEMBERs?"

The United States Chamber of Commerce has discovered the Com.
munist menace" 1t insists Reds are "infilratng' the government
and pushing their propaganda through a score of organizations.
The Chamber demands that something be done about this and,
among other things, suggests that the Communist party be compelled
to make public a list of it's members.
The Chamber hasn't a word to say about the various Fascist move
ments, which are collecting huge "sush funds" and promoting fear and
hatred all over the country. It's unfortunate the Chamber is blind in
one eye.
The newspaper LABOR is opposed to both Communism and Fas-
cism and has been fighting both for the last 25 years, 1t believes one is
Just as dangerous as the other. We regret the United States Chamber
OF Commerce can't go all the way with us in fighting these subversive
influences.
We also regret that the United States Chamber of Commerce doesn't

the United States into its confidence and frankly revealed where it
gets its money.
AS this is written, I'VE have before is a tantalzing little pamphlet
entitled Adventures in Thinking" It's "A story of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States of America"
On page nine we discover that for the fiscal year ending July 1,
1914, this very comfortable sun had increased to 81 Its 89. Presum-
However, here is the interesting point. Most of this money comes
from associate members" To be more exact: Tn 1913, they contributed
about rs per cent! The names of those associate members have never
been made public, although, during the last 25 years, they have put upp
millions of dollars for the Chambers propaganda activities.

a representative of LABOR. Why not? Is the Chamber ashamed of the
men who support it?
Or is the Chamber afraid that if it reveals the names of these "asso-

in Washington-that the United States Chamber of Commerce is the
organ of Big Business and that it Goes practically nothing for Small

THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX
NO. 2O4O.

Tax experts agree that the personal income tax, properly graduated,
is the best kind of tax.
1t took a long, hard battle to establish the income tax in the United
States, and it finally required a amendment to the constitution,
adopted in 1913, to settle the question.
The best feature of the graduated income tax is that it places the
burden of taxes on those best able to pay. This is a basic democratic aim.
There was a time when almost n o wage earners eve had to pay
or bother with the income tax. 1t was, actually, a tax n the Weu-todo.
Of course, wage earners paid plenty of indirect taxes, through taxes
on tobacco, iquer, amusements, and import duties and excise taxes,
but few O, them realized that they were paying as much as 2O% of their
income to the government.
Now that government expenditures have skyrocketed due to the
cost of the war and the postwar necessities of the nation, the income
tax hits all who arm a living. Since it is deducted from their regular
pay checks, the workers feel it every pay day, and knowing just how
big a chunk it takes out Of their earnings.
Economist believe that any tax that cuts down OF the amount of
goods and services that can be bought is a bad tax. The minute goods
boceme PLENTIFUL, with the return of high levels of civilian production,
any restriction or consumption straits u OF the road to depression.
That's why labor is 81 insitent that income tax exemptinos should
be higher, rates o people in the lower brackets should be cut and that
the rates n people in middle and upper income brackets should be
kept high Only if the mass O. the people can buy all the products that
we can manufacture, do we have a chance of avoiding depression and
dsaster-The Montana Labor News.

LOOKING AHEAD
By Leon De Cuux

AS the cat eating the canary said
to the mouse: Don't take alarm,
be patient, I'll get around to you"
The guzzling and lip-smacking Of
the profiteers resounds through the
land today.
Their congressional cooks pre-
pared the feast for them by slaugh-
tering the Price Control Act.
The cooking of the banquet took
a little time. The heat had to be
turned on, the gravy prepared.
But now the lid has ben lifted
on price anG profits, and the fat
boys are letting out their belts for
a regular orgy.
THERE IS, however, a skeleton
at the feast. 1t ruffles the COM
posure of the profiteers, but doesn't
interfere with their appetites.
They don't quite like the lean
and hungry look on the face of
labor. AS Shakespeare said, "Such
men r dangerous"-particularly
when they've been robbed.
The rich man of the Biblical
feast at least let the poor man eat
the crumbs that fell from his table.
But the profiteers' press of today
has only this advice to offer to
labor:
BE patient, wait awhile, don't
ask for higher wages. Just work
harder, tighten your belt, and if

The Department OF Commerce estimates that the total debt of the
United States, public n private, rose to $500 400 900 900 by the end
of 1945. 1t rose S5 4000 600, 900 in the one year, 1945, completing

OF course, the value" or price of a country is ure theory as
there is no possible buyer Or way to sell. But the fact that the debt is
how equal to the computed national wealth in 1929 is plain evidence
shat neither prices nor wages can be allowed to sink to prewar levels
without disaster. The interest o the Federal Government debt alone
now amounts to $4,000 900 more every year than the entire cost of
the u S Government for the year 1927. The Governments interest bill
for 1945-Roosevelts last year-was 1851 600 900, against S689, OOO-

amounts of bonds, and some is paid to insurance companies and banks

PRICELESS WAR SECRETS
GOING TO lNDUSTRIALISTS
FOR "SONG"

WAR SUBMISSIONS of them
are being handed to American in
dustry or a platter.
And these secrets, worth millions
of dollars to manufactures, are
being gobbled up at prices as low
as 10 cents a platter.
The hitherto closely guarded
knoW-how of wartime production
and invention is being disclosed by
the Department of Commerce at
the rate of 500 reports a week. B
The curtain is being lifted on
enemy secrets, as we'll as the great
pool of techniques developed dur
ing the war by u own armed
forces and the Office of Scientific
Management and Development.
Immediately after the Nazis sur
rendered, teams Of American ex-
perts began probing into German
industrial methods, which in some
instances were far ahead of our
own. They have returned with in
formation that will save American
industry years of research.
The larger United States indus
tries have been aware of the avail
ability of the data and have been
keeping close watch on the Depart
ment of Commerce releases.
In fact, much of the information
has ben gathered by technicians,
researchers and scientists loaned to
the government by the bigger man
u%facturing companies. Naturally,
these concerns are in fine position
to get in on the ground floor.
More than 200 manufacturers
and researchers call on the Depart
ment daily for help in tracking
down information.
An incidental sidelight is the
disclosure that the Soviet Unions
foreign trade organization, Amtorg,
is the Departments best customer
in the sale of war secrets. Amtorg
it is said, buys a copy of every re-
port issued by the Department.

DRIVE AGAINST TAX
CHEATERS BOOST
UNCLE SANS INCOME

The drive against income tax
aVaders which the Treasury launch
ed more than a year ago with a
great fanfare is bringing in back
axes on undisclosed profits at a
ate exceeding the total income tax
collection for the year 1910.
In reporting that fact, the Treas
Try said, the campaign is really
Just getting into it's stride, having
been held back by a "manpower
shortage" More than IA, 900 audit
)rs, accountants, lawyers and in
Iestigators hired last fall, the
Treasury said, have now had ade-
luate training and will soon be
turned loose on tax dodgers.
During the first two months of
this fiscal year, starting July l, the
internal Revenue Bureau recover
ed $500 million in additional rev.
enue,, and by the end of this year
the figure is expected to reach So
billions. Most of this money is
coming in "voluntarily''-that is.
from tax dodgers who wish to es-
cape criminal prosecution.
While major attention is to be
given persons with large incomes,
the Treasury said it is not over
looking the little fellows" In
vestlgators are examining the tax
returns of taxi drivers and others
even Waiters-who obtain a part
OF their income from tips"

MOST ATTENTION has ben di-
rected to meat lately. But the meat
trust was only the vanguard of the
p%rofiteers army.
When Truman finally surrender
ed to their offensive, lifting meat
controls and promising a speedy
end to other price controls, stocks
of all kinds (not only those of the
packers) shot upward at a record
rate.
The profiteers won their victory
over the American people through
a gigantic hold-up.
Not only did they create an arti-
fetal shortage of meat, to destroy
the meager remnants of price con-
troll, but they also withheld huge
amounts of other goods from the
market.

More About Profits of Industry

In his radio talk On Monday night, President Truman W. optimistic
about the business outlook. He emphasized increased employment and
production. He might have reminded some of his critics of the mounting
profits of Big Business. Here IRE a few examples taken from the finan-
cal pages of last week:
For the first sever months of this year net earnings of the private
owned electric power companies in this country were 80 per cent
higher than for the same months a year ago.
The Industrial Rayon Corporation reports an increase in earnings
per common share from SO cents a year ago to $4O8 this year. That's
about a 400 per cent boost.
Gimbel Brothers, owners OF a number of big department stores in
various parts oft the country admit al increase of 355 per cent in their
profits for the last year. This showing can be duplicated by practically
every concern in the same line of business.
In the face of these and similar figures, business men continue to
shout: Labor takes au!'
One newspaper writer, commenting on the swanky season at New
port, says: "They arr lousy with money" It's unnecessary to say he
wasn't referring to workers. He was writing about the idel rich and the
war profiteers. Labor.
