Washington Post

Washington Post
 Representative Martin. the House Speaker-to-be. predicts that the first item the Republican legis- latiye agenda will be 6 20 per cent cut in income taxes right across the board The step will be 10 cut down Government spending, and MT. Martin adds that bureau heads would be wise to begin prun ing their outlays right now,
 We heartily ndorse Republican plans for sealing public expenditures and thus preparing the way for substantial reduction n taxes. But MI. Martins pro- gram. which calls first fer cut in revenues and subsequent trimming of outlays is the very reverse of sound budgetary practice. The logical order of procedure would be first Scrutinize the spending plans of Government agencies in order to determine how much could be saved and thereafter to decide whether the contemplated savings warranted immedi- ate reduction in taxes Mir Martins approach creates suspicion that his primary concern is to curry with the rank and file of taxpayers by sweeping and inoiscriminate reduction of their tax bills
 Judged merely a political maneuver. however, appears unwise the Republicans to make specific premises of relief al this iuncture. The presi- dential election is years away. In the meantime much may happen to change the economic outlook and force a revision of spending programs In any case there immediately pressing need for re- duction of personal income taxes, since consumer incomes are now record height If the Republicans
 are sincerely resolved to balance the budget and pos sbly acquire surplus for purposes of debt reduction, the quickest way of achieving that end would be to maintain taxes at present levels long as business IS booming and employment at maximum peacetime levels
 Tax cutting would be much more appreciated by taxpaying voters if deferred until the peak of the boom IS past and the public more conscious of the burdensomeness of high tax rates To cut individual taxes al once moreover would release more funds for consumer use and add the inflationary presSures that at work. inc emphasis should be paced on economy in spending, therefore, rather nan on tax relief For u Government outlaws are .educed, tax reductions will follow in due course.
 Republicans are laying up a lot of unnecessary trouble for themselves by promising to reduce taxes before they have had opportunity to review the spend- ing plans Of Government agencies and decide where 10 cut and how much to cut Reduction of total gov ernmental costs to levels that will permit of heavy reduction total taxes-individual corporate and eX else taxes-is objective worth striving for But the methods employed to reach that goal should be care fully chosen Mir. Martin talks as if every Government bureau faced a in its appropriations-an attitude of mind that is conducive to selective pruning of expenditures On the contrary it is likely to result in an ndiscrimnate kind of economy that may inter fere with the execution of essential Government unc tions while permitting unnecessary activities to con-

GENTLEMEN FROM NORTH

On Sept 10, l945, this column told how the Coxe Lumber Com pany Of Wadesboro, N C., had criminal charges brought against it by the OPA for grading lum- Der; also how Senatorial nominee Clyde Hoey of North Carolina in- tervened on behalf of the Coxe Lumber Company and helped to get the criminal charges dropped
 Senator Hoey acted as attorney Ter the lumber Company shortly after he had been nominated for the Senate. tantamount to election in North Carolina Had he acted after becoming Senator, he himself would have been subject to criminal prosecution. Whether due to Hoey's influence or other factors, the Jus tice Department finally dropped the criminal charges against the CoXe Lumber Company-much to the disgust of the OPA.
 Senator Hoey, former Cover nor of North Carolina, happens to be the brother-in-la law of O. Max Gardner also a former Governor ci North Carolina, now leaving his pest of Undersecretary of the Treasury to become Ambassador to Great Britain.

INSPECTION OF BOOKS

5. Publication Of Books Is already practiced by 40 out of fl CIO un- ions.

ley did not show up for trial, Judge
Scott declared:
TITS too easy for people to put
up 50 on this charge and then forget
all about it. What's the use of hav-
ing a law that's not going to be
enforced. I can stand on the street
corners every day and see the pedes-
trian laws being winked at right and
left.
"It should be made harder fol-
people to break these laws. I'm all
for raising the collateral to IS, and
what is more, every jaywalker con-
viction I make will result in SIS
fine, unless there are extenuating
circumstances.
He ordered an attachment to
bring Medley into court to face the
