But to the extent that such forced distribution of corporate income are not recaptured in their entirety through taxes they simply add to the already greatly swollen stream of national income and purchasing power They have therefore precisely tho opposite effect of that which MT Hartman had in mind in his recommenda- tions for high tax rates
 In the second place such policy, even if it were otherwise defensble is particularly open to ques- ton under present circumstances when the cash posi- ton of many industries has been weakened by the interruption of production schedules of labor disturbances the narrower profits margins that nave resulted from the Administrations unfortunate policies in the field of price and and finally the in- creased costs involved in inventory replacement
 But the basic objection to this revival in essence of revenue measure brought out in the Thires goes good deal deeper than this It poses the question whether management policies should accommodate themselves to the momentary needs of the Treasury, or whether fiscal policies should be evolved on the asslllnptons that t the decisions of business man. agement are based generally sound judgment, and that 2D management is and should be- responsible for such policies to it's stockholders rather than to the Treasury Department We find it difficult to believe that any sensible person would hesitate to reject the first of these alternatives and with it the whole fiscal concept which implicit in the penazing of corpora tions for building up what they regard as adequate reserves.

Reason and Prejudice
lCincinnati EnuuirerD


 The power to is mans alone, of all the living things which make up the earth's population. He is the only creature which marshal a series facts study them and arrive at certain conclusions based on such study. This ability to reason makes man the only animal whch--so far as we know-can look into the future with any degree of accuracy or, for that matter, can look into the future at all.
 It is strange when they are blessed with so great a gift that many humans fail to exercise it fully. In every walk of life find individuals who direct certain phases of their existence not through processes of reason, but from pure prejudice.
 Sometimes these individuals highly successful, but usually they not happy They seem to be carrying eternally, chips their shoulders. They ready to fight fancied grievances at the drop of hat.
 One finds such persons-h every niche of society. They are digging dtches and sitting in the halls of Congress; they newspapers and tenant farms they drive lmousines and broken down alopes Their datrbes break out in beer saloons and in the rooms where international conferences sitting.
 Certain causes demand such leadership and could arrive nowhere without blind unreasonng devo tion-such as Hitler had-from large numbers of leaders and followers But clear, cool reasoning must be the buwark of happy, contented citizenry. The unreasoning zealot may gain certain fame. Some of them acquire wealth and position. But the manor woman-who is really great Is the who is willing to all sides of any controversy and to arrive at conclusions to which his reasoning processes and not his loves or hates. lead him.

FEDERAL TAXES

 No one, perhaps will quarrel with this as gen. eralzaticn But there exceptions to every rule, and conspicuous exception to this one, it seems to us is to be found in Section l02 of the Revenue Act which is in effect thinly disguised version of the Undisributed Profits Tax of recent and unhappy memory This is the section of the law which imposes a heavy suftaX unreasonable accumulations of surplus The Treasury has served notice on business that it plans to apply this section with new vgor.

HOW THE COP INVESTIGATES

Republicans in the New Congress already have promised to "investi- gate, investigate, investigate but it looks as if some of their investi- gations would be stolen from probes already made by the Democrats,
 One backstage maneuver already has been pulled by the Republicans to steal four important reports by the House Merchant Marine Com mittee. in which the Democratic majority did some frank and un- merciful probing of fellow Demo- crats. Here are the inside facts as to what happened.
 Last week Democratic Merchant Marine Chairman Otis Bland Of Virginia called meeting of his Committee and placed before it four critical reports, as follows:
 l. The antiquated accounting sys- tenn of the Maritime Commission showed that over S1,000,000,000 Of the taxpayers money cannot be accounted fer.
 2 Tax manipuiations by large shipping companies, with Maritime Commission knowledge which would have robbed the Government of a huge tax bill but for the sharpe eye of young Democrat Rep. Henry Jackson of Washington As a re- suit. the Treasury will collect S40,- 100000.
 3. Excessive trade-ins allowed by the Commission to the United Stat es and Grace Lines on the purchase of new vessels will cost the tax payers many millions. Chairman Bland has forced the Commission to take steps to recover overpay- ments
 4. An overall report on the Con- mjttee's work for the year.

THE NEW YEAR

On the first day of 1947 let us all hope that Alaska doesn't go through another year like the one which ended yesterday. Indeed the first peacetime year after World War II proved more disastrous to the Territory than any of the war years.
 One skipping strike after another caused inn'Iner- able hardships business concerns and individuals alike shut down construction jobs hampered the efforts of our largest basic industry fishing The strikes boosted the cost of living in Alaska and caused travel congestion even worse than during the war years.
 Let's hope that the new year will bring an end to industrial strife which threatens to wreck the Terri tory.

Republican, wanted to carry them over until l947. He insisted they were only interim reports
 However, two fair-minded COP colleagues, Chris Herter of Massa- chusetts and Robert Hale of Maine, did not agree. And when they seemed likely to side with the Democrats for immediate accept ance of the reports, Weichel raised the point of mo quorum" This stymied the Committee.
 Two days later the group met again. Again Weichel opposed pub lication of the reports, and again he saw that he would not have the full backing of his Republican colleagues. Ten members were present-one short of a quorum but the proxy of Rep. Ellsworth Buck, New York Republican, was reported in favor of immediate re- lease of the reports. Weichel in- sisted that it not be honored.
 Meanwhile, Chairman Bland was seeking to reach Rep. Dick Welch, San Francisco Republican, who will be Committee Chairman next year. Although the meeting date had been set to meet Welch's con- venience, he left word with his secretary that he was not. to be disturbed--not even for a phone call from Bland
 So. because Welch refused to leave his office and walk few steps to the meeting, Weichel was able to make his point of mo quorum" stick Thus the four cri- tical reports prepared by Demo- crats will be brought out under the new Republican Congress.

5kIppER'5 STORY AF0GNAk WRECK;
 YAKOBI'5 RESCUE

Skipper-owner Ernie Burnett of the Afognak, beam trawler which was wrecked the night of December 23, two miles north of Point Gard ner, has arrived in Juneau to make his report to the Coast Guard to- day
 Burnett reported that during the night after the Afognak ran hard aground in cleft of the rocks, and after the Yakobi had removed the crew, the ship had slid back into the deep water at high tide. Only her mast sticks above water now, Burnett said.
 He has hopes that he may be able to raise tine Afognak. however, with the aid of power scows. He describes her as l0l feet long, with 95 tons rated capacity, and one of the sturdiest ships he has ever known.
 On the last northbound trip, af- ter leaving Seattle December ? with his fifth cargo of emergency sup plies for strike -bound Alaskan towns, Burnett reports that the Afcgnak weathered gale later re- ported to have reached 80 miles an hour velocity. We went right through it." he said
 The wreck occurrsd while the Afognak was southbound in Chat ham Strait, with good visibility. Burnett had turned the wheel over to a crew member and gone below; but the helmsman, unfamiliar with Point Gardner light. changed the given course in order to get in close enough to spot it.
 That blinker light is invisible from any point within two miles. and despite the perfect visibility the Afognak was run hard into the cleft of a reef The tide was going out and it was thought that the ship might be saved; but after the turn the pumps were unable to keep up with the water and the ship filled.
 ] Burnett was enthusiastic in his praise of the crew of the mail boat Yakobi. He reported that one un- identified craft, passing close by the stranded Afognak. had ignored it's signal; but the Yakobi, on the far side of the straits near Warm Springs Bay, acknowledged immed- lately. Skipper Martin Feist took grave risks in bringing his craft close to the scene, and Burnett had nothing but praise for the ac- tions of the crew of the rescue vessel
 The USCG Cutter Mclean from ketchikan arrived at the scene early the next morning, after the 1 Yakobi had taken off the crew and left Skipper and Mrs. Burnett and the helmsman at Warm Springs Bay. Burnett went across to the wreck in a borrowed troller and discovered that his ship had sunk during the night.
 She was one of the best ships I've ever had, and the first I've ever walked off" said Burnett. T sure hated to do it.''

He was with Boston in 1921, 1922,

Cardinals, Billy took over manager

Erie of the Central league in 1928.
The following year, he came to
Bluefield to open West Virginia
