Britain's Tax Burden
Cincinnati Enouirerl


 Great Britain. well as the United States is on while the revision is substantial reduction in merica, it is merely re-shuffe of the burden in the British Isles The war impoverished Britain to extent not yet entirely clear to most people either side of the Atlantic And the unremtting tax burden there is reflection of the fearful drain of war continuing long after the fighting stopped.
 An American with wife and two children, under the new tax program, does not pay any appreciable tax until his annual income reaches nearly $30O0 At that point he pays about s100 year British tax payer with similar income pays five times as much and even more if his income derives from investment rather than the earnings of his labor With S10000 of net income an American will be paying $l,360 a wear income tax. His opposite number in Britain will be paving anywhere from $3260 to s4O00 year out of his S10000, depending the source of his income
 In the very high brackets the comparison still holds To take the extreme case-which we find it somewhat difficult to visualize personally-of S1000 GOO income the American taxpayers must part with s76e GOO of this while the Brton with that fabulous income will pay S1,452, 52,600-assuming his income is from investments That is outright socalistc con- fiscation plus It stems from policy aimed at emi- mating large estates At all income levels above $50O0O a wear the British is than 100 per cent, in the case of 'unearned" income.
 Obviously, comparison of income taxes alone is not full picture of tax burdens. But when account is taken of excses and other the disparity of tax burdens in the two countries is still greater Thus although we have been complaining increasingly of the tax burden in this country and properly, We see by British experience that our relative position is fortunate

CONGRESSMAN BREAKS
 PLEDGE

Run-out Cox One interesting gentleman who walked out at the last minute on the Housing Bill was Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia
 Cox is a key man on the Rules Committee, claims to have great influence. Before the vote came off, Cox sent a telegram to his home district promising to support the Housing Bill.
 You may assure all interested that I will do everything in my power to see that a rule is granted promptly for House consideration, '' Cox wired Hudson Malone, Direct or of the Albany, Ga, Housing Authority.
 ''The Bill will have my strongest support with the hope that it will be passed before adjournment"
 But just before the vote came, Cox got up and ducked out of the Rules Committee. News of his run-out, of course, did not get back to his home voters.

major factor in my decision to leave the Office of Education has been my dissatisfaction and deep concern over the rate at which the political administration of the Federal Security Agency is taking over I cannot look with complacency upon rapidly develop ing trends to subject the profres- sional bureau that is the Office of Education to increasing controls on the part of numerous persons planted in the structural organiza- tion at levels between the Com missioner of Education and the Ad- ninistrator of the Federal Security Agency
 Nor can I be pieased,' continued Norton, with the extent to which administrative decisions have been made and subsequent executive or ders arbitrarily issued without ade- quate opportunity for democratic discussion of the principles in- volved."

cause of her ability but because of her amazing frankness.
 Called before the Republican, dominated Interstate Commerce Committee Miss Hennock, appoint ed as a Democrat. told the Sena- tors:
 I'm against you and I always have been. I have done my best to collect money for Roosevelt and have probably taken lot of good Republican money away from what you wanted to collect"
 Do you know anything about radio?" asked one Republican Sen ator.
 "Only that I have raised a lot of money for radio programs for Roosevelt" replied Miss Hennock.
 Senator Brewster of Maine want ed to know what Miss Hennock thought of Mary Martin of Maine, who last year was considered as a possible appointee to the EGG.
 T didn't know her." replied the lady Democrat from New York. But I think that women haven't had nearly the recognition they de- i served since they got suffrage. If they have brains and ability they should not be penalized merely be- cause they wear skirt"
 The amazed Senators, taken back by Miss Hennock's frankness, ask ed many questions, all of them courteous and friendly. When the hearing was over, the prospective EGG commissioner tol6 tte som mittee:,
 You're much too nice. I hope you don't confirm me and that you will call me back here every week" :" 1 But they didn't, they confirmed her right away.
 Note-The EGG is composed of a certain number of Democrats and a certain number of Republicans so that Miss Hennock's political utilization as a Democrat was not held against her by the Republi- cans.

PREPAREDNESS WEEK

With the Republican National Convention ana Che Louis -Walcott fight past and no longer draw ng attention Juneauites may now get busy and pre- pare for the Fourth July celebration which starts this weekend.
 There will be hundreds of visitors in Juneau for the celebration, Navy from an American craft and also from a Canadian boat well as steamers in port with their tourists.
 The big thing for Juneau is selecting a queen. Each ticket purchased the automobile to be awarded at midnight on the fifth of July will entite the holder to cast vote for the favorite in the queen contest
 Various organizations are already busy building their floats for the parade and other groups have nearly completed their plans for their displays on wheels Prize money for floats is an incentive this year as the awards larger than in previous years
 Many Juneauites have been employed for some time preparing the for the elaborate fireworks which are to be better this year than last and last year the display the best ever seen in Juneau.
 Incidentally the air show to be given during the celebration is to be larger and undoubtedly more exciting than the last year There will be Is P-5ls of the 64th Fighter Squadron in the show.
 It looks like big time for three days and the revenue derived from the sale of tickets the car which is also used for vote for queen, goes into the celebration fund.

publicans on the Rules Commit tee voted thumbs down.
 Naturally they tried to keep their names secret. However, here is the rollcall of the six men who flout- ed the mill of the majority of Congress and wouldn't even let 400 other Congressman vote:
 Leo Allen of Illinois, Chair man of the Rules Committee; James Wadsworth of New York, who while voting with the real estate interests on this, simul- taneously demanded that young men be drafted; Edgar Cheno- weth of Colorado; Ross Ridley Of Oklahoma, whose law firm represented some of the big natural gas companies, while he authored rate-increase bill fer the gas companies; Forest Harness of Indiana; and Rob- ert Rich of Pennsylvania.
 Two Democrats present voted fol the Housing Bill: Howard Smith of Virginia and Adolph Sabatt of Illinois
 That was how the Taft Housing Bill containing the hopes of mil lions was buried.

POLITICS IN EDUCA- TION OFFICE

Education Blowup-The U. s. Of- flee of Education, which for long years under Roosevelt was kept out of partisan politics, is now headed for a blowup.

 Ewing was former Chairman of the Democratic National Com mittee and is an all-out Truman man Another resignation in the offing is that of Education Com missioner John Stakeholder him. self.

World Grain Prospects
(New York Times


 If preliminary reports from the great grain produc ing countries proves correct it may be feasible in the year ahead to end substantially reduce bread ra- tionng in Western Europe Both official and private estimates agree that prospects of grain surplus have not been so promising since 1889. roundup by Dr. Jls Hrsch and Mrs. Edith Hirsch, agricultural ex- perts for industry for example, suggests that ex- portable grain crops from the United States Canada Argentina and Uruguay, Australia and a few other countries may exceed the enormous total of 920000, GOO bushels further accumulation is said to be taking place in Russia.
 Many factors enter this rosy picture, some of them not completely encouraging. It is admitted that conditions everywhere must remain at least as gooc they appear to be today. Favorable weather must be taken for granted Political economic consdera tions might limit exports from countries But if all goes well it should be possible to drop bread rationng altogether in Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the Scandinavian coun tries and reduce it sharply in France and Italy.
 No such morale building news has been heard in Europe since the end of the Food and recovery march only in step, People must eat to work. Hungry people make poor citizens, for hunger opens their minds to communism and it's lusory promises. If Europe is well fed it will work itself with help, through most of its past and present troubles.
