The Presidents Commission saw
that, although the cost of training
all our young men would be great
1t would be less than the bill for
two weeks of World War III. Thev
say we would be spending to save.

from destruction. They saw the
plan would give us $500 900 men
who could be modified inside a
year-and who would be vastly
more effective than unframed men
even against the kind of war which
would be fought in the Atomic Age
They say, too. that we can edu-
cate and protect our youth while
they are in training and that. far
from being undemOcratic, the ex-
perience would be a lesson in de-
mocracy.

Washington Letter
HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD
J. \, Jones

Washington, D. c., February
One of the live issues facing the
Government for many months has
reYOlved around pending legisla-
tiOn to create universal military
training. 1t has been one of many
measures to keep the Nation from
being unprepared to face another
war.
The latest suggestion that has
been dropped out of political skies
is the statement of Senator Taft
that the United States shall set uu
the largest air force power in the
World and keep it ready for any
future emergency.
OF course, the Marshall Plan
holds the floor and the probabilities
are that Congress will pass it with
in a few weeks with notifications
as to the amount of money to be set
apart for European relief.
The Administration and Con-
gress are agreed that iron walls
must be raised against the Com
munist mOvement that has spread
out from Russia, and which every
body in the National Capital
knows is challenge to the resto-
ration of World peace and the end
of wars.
President Truman has made a
flat statement that "if the guerilla
menace should increase as a result
Of greater outside assistance that
a new situation will be created
which would have to be dealt with
in the light of circumstances pre-
vailing at that time" In any case.
the President reported, additional
military funds will be given
Greece and Turkey. Secretary
Marshall has already fOreshadowed
a request for funds estimated at
twO-hundred-milliOn dollars.
This is another straw which
shows which way the wind is blow
ing.
Coming back to the question of
universal military training, it may
be assumed that the legislation will
uOt pass the present Congress.
That doesn't affect the fact that
some measures, aside from the
Marshall Plan, will be taken by the
American Government to meet any
Russian or Communist movement.
And that means that our Govern
ment is going to maintain it's posi-
ton as the greatest military power
in the World. With the atom bomb
ready for defense, it would not be
at all strange to find some measure
like that of Senator Taft's whipped
into shape-just to help make sure.
Your correspondent in Washing
ton does not hesitate to assure the
people of this country that the Uni
ted States will not be caught nap
ping in case there are any military
movements against us by Russia
and its puppet partners.

THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY in

Milford chronicle., 1948-02-27

PRIOR TO WORLD WAR II our State
and local governments collected in taxes
about twice as much as the Federal govern
ment. Today the Federal government COL
lects about four times the amount collected
oy al OF our State and local governments
During the fiscal year 1947 Federal taxes
were about S45 Billion as compared to State
ana local taxes aggTegating about $11 Bill
ion. In this connection one point must not
be overlooked, namely, that State and local
taxes are certain to increase substantially
and rapidly during the next few years. That
certainty grows out Of the necessity for new
construction Of roads, schools, sewers, water
supply and other facilities which are essen
tai to take care of the extraordinary
growth IN our population in recent years.
In many instances, because of wartime
shortages, local communities have been nm
able to expand their facilities normally and
hence they will have to undertake a more
than normal expansion in the immediate fu-
tufe. Every dollar collected in Federal taxes
is a dollar taken away from the potential
sources OF State and local revenue.
To sum up, unless there is a substantial
reduction in Federal taxes, the total tax bur
den will increase during the q, years ipnrne-
diately ahead because Of the Inevitable in
crease IN other taxes. If that situation is
allowed to develop we may be very soon in a.
position where very slight drop in our ma
tlOnal income would bring disastrous results
Hence, the problem which confronts the
Congress today is far more important than
the proposed immediate and deserved relief
to the taxpayer, and it is certainly far more
impOrtanat than election year political man
euvers 1t is to be hOped-even though the
experience Of the past year makes such a
hope rather Observation-Disclosures Mr.. Trr-

rate of corporate taxes is SO per cent, and it
is urged that this be dropped initially to 80
per cent, and then progressively downward
as lower Federal OutgO and higher income
may permit. 1t feels strongly that double
taXatiOn-Once when the corporation pays a
tax on it's earnings and, secondly, when the
individual pays taxes on his dividends
should be repealed.
Finally, the Committee recommends that
all excise taxes save those on alcoholic bever-
ages, tobacco and gasoline should be elimi-
mated,
The Committee emphasizes certain other
proposals which, as it says, "might be over
looked because they do not involve much
gain or less of government revenue" The
most important of these is its advocacy of
income averaging for both individuals and
businesses. Under the present method, a
taxpayer whose income varies from year to
year pays larger income tax than one whose
income is stable even though, over a period
OF five years or so, their total receipts are
Identical. In other words, man with an
uneven income, such as a farmer or a pro-
fesslonal worker, is penalized as compared
with the man who received an undertaking
annual salary. The cure, the Committee
thinks, lies in averaging incomes over a con-
siderable period OF time and lengthening the
period for which business losses can be car
ried forward
The Committee realizes that its projected
program may be subject to much change. It
is based, for example, on as assumed national
income of $22O,OOO, 100000, and is designed
to produce $33,OOO,OOO,O0O in Federal reve-
nues-$30 0O0,OO0,OOO for expenditures and
S3,OO0,O00,000 for costs. It is offered purely
in an attempt to create a tax system which
Will help the most to stabilize the economy.

But perhaps the real interest of
the day was in the sons and grand

the sale. His top five sons averaged
more than $1,000 but still left plenty
of room for the commercial cattle

many of them in the $500 to $1,000
class. At least IA head of the bulls
in the offering sold for more than
$1,000.
Although the crowd was large at
the sale, it was still noticeable that
it was not in sufficient market for
the large number offered, and the
last 80 to 40 head of bulls through
the ring did not help to boost the
good average of 1884 on the offering.

This group of Is heifers and 35 bulls
went begging for buyers. Good
range bulls, bulls that would stand
well up in class in an ordinary sale,
were hard put to find buyers at any

cattlemen were aware that bulls of
