Pass Some Of It!

The 81st Congress- which convened JAM 3, hasn't pass
ed a single piece of major legislation.
It's true that the first part of the session was devoted
to reorganization of the House and Senate but think 1t
appropriate to quote part of editorial last Nov 22
There is a strong inclination the part of Truman
supporters to count their legislative eggs before they've
Matched.
"AIany of them assume that the Congress will Jump
at the chance to into law the program the President
advocated during his campaign.
''In doing so they're making bad mistake They are
dscounng-or completely forgetting-the forces in Con-
gress opposed to various portions of the Truman program
"Were predicting that Congress will toss the Pres
idents legislation plans into the ash Far from it.
"Were merely saying that it would be foolish for the
voters who put the Democrats in power to ignore the real
tiles of legislative procedure ignore the anticiv ber
ties block in Congessto ignore the need for reminding
some the lawmakers they have mandate from the people,
at is a reasonably clear mandate and the Democratic
voters should not permit it to become clouded.
"And it won't become clouded if the folks back home
keep reminding the and women who elected that
the do nothing for the people attitude of the SOh Congress
caused many political heads to roll.
None Of big legislative eggs has been hatched.
Some of them haven't been put in the incubator.
So we suggest that the folks back home start telling
their senators and congressman that they want quick pass
age of the Truman Fair Deal measures.
Letters postcards teegrams petitions and telephone
calls are standard equipment for such task Use them!

Other Side Tells Story

Big business and many of the small special interest
groups have been taking full advantage of the time that has
elapsed since Congress went into session nearly 2 months
ago They have really been turning the heat in Wash
ingtOn.
If you believed of the stories their lobbyists
telling, then the election Of Nov meant nothing. The
voters didn't vote for change, Truman didn't really win.
The Republicans weren't really defeated
Unfortunately they've been able to sell some of their
nonsense largely because of the silence of those who put
the Democrats back in control of Congress.
incidentally, Congressional committee could per-
form valuable public service by investigating the activities
and expendtures-o the lobbyists. And those who claim
they represent small business shouldn't be skipped
either)
It's time for those who spoke oudest at the polls last
November begin speaking agandirecty to the and
women they sent to Washington to represent them.
It's time for them TO tell aganin communications to
senators and congressmenthe story they told at the
polls Nov. 2.

The Most Startling Announcement of l949

The British Tory party Conservative has announced
that if wins the election in 1850 pledges itself not to
repeal the National Health Insurance plan adopted by the
British Labor Party.
Incidentally the British Tories have pledged themselves
not to repeal the Labor Party action in establishing public
ownership of the Bank of England public ownership of the
Electric and Gas industries and public ownership of the
Transportation Industries
The British Tories fought the National Health Insur-
plan bitterly and now admit that it should not be re-
pealed Before this announcement understood that
the Health Insurance plan would be the main issue of the
1850 campaign.
DIR. Gallup has predicted Tory victory in 1850 On
what issue DR.. Gallup?

Soaking The Poor

Is it right to tax poor at rate of 3,425 percent
greater than millionaire? That's the sales tax for you!
Born during the depression when incomes low, the
sales tax has like the proverba bay tree At
time 81 states used this highly unjust tax although 10
of the progressive states have dropped it, West Vr
gna raised 81 of state by sales tax
Michigan over half and Washington just under half
This niqutous tax is recognized by reputable
lists the most unfair way to raise 1t is called
'Tegressve tax and with good The sales tax is
particularly vicious because bears heaviest those
least able pay and lowers their standard of living 1t bears
least heavy the WeOdo and does not debaSe their v
ing standards
For example, study made before the by the Gen
eral Welfare League shows that whereas poor
ing 81 600 less paid tax of $822 per 81 000 millionaire
paid tax of only 24c per 81 900.
Figured percentage basis, the poor mans tax
1926 percent greater than the mionares tax! If that
isn't soaking the poor, what would you call it?

The Public Wunts Action

Late reports from Washington ID. c., say that mail
from the folks back home is swampng the members of
gress for the first time this session The people demand
ing action They asking why it takes long to carry
out the presidents program They want to know what is
stopping immediate repeal of the Taft-IIartley Law.
Maybe after ALL the lobbyists will fail to block repeal
of the vicious TatIartey Law Maybe the doubecross
we have feared will not Off There's dim chance that
the Democrats will make real effort to keep their platform
pledge.
Meanwhile, militant and progressive Labor organiza-
tons not taking any chances. They making their
plans to organize in their phases of jurisdiction every city
in the land The Ieamsters are taking the lead.
If the Taft-Hartley Law is not repealed, we will be
ready when the next election day rolls around we hope If
prepared many of the who are respon
sble for anti-Labor legislation will be left at home

Public Roads Administration ap-
preparation of Sl,500,000.
These roads," continued the For
ester, ARE important in opening up
National Forest land for home sites,
which will be especially needed by
pulp mill workers when that indus
try is established"
Charles G. Burdick, Assistant Re-
gional Forester, calls attention to
the fact that the Forest Service
will not build the logging roads
needed to get lumber to the pulp
mills; the industry will build those.
Some of the extra appropriation
would be used to rebuild some 70
miles of road in the Kenai and
Chugach Forest regions - roads
which will be links in the general
highway system.
The road-planning goes hand-in-
hand with plans for land use, ac-
cording to Heintzleman, who mem
toned the large Kenai recreation
area for which the site already has
been selected.
The roads are built by P.R.A.,
that agency and the Forest Service
being jointly interested in securing
the appropriation.
Engineer Dean believes that
car-ferry system for Southeast AL
aska looks logical from what he
has seen.
Accompanied by Burdick, who
met Dean at Ketchikan and SHOW

u. 5. AID IN
China fight

NEW YORK, July 5.-lR-Chiang
Kai-shek appealed for United
States aid in combating the spread
CT Communism in China, in an IN
tsrview reported by Clyde Farms
worth, Scripps-Howerd staff writ
er.
The interview vas obta,ned at
Taipeh. Formosa, with the 62-year-
old Generalissimo combining nearly
all his punishable comments to
written answers to questions sub
mitted in advance, Farnsworth said.
Chang retired from the Presi-
dency of China last January, but
kept his leadership of the Kuom-
intang party. He declared in ans
wer to one question that regardless
of whether he holds any political
office he could never give up my
revolutionary leadership of the
Chinese people as long as indepen-
sdence and freedom is yet to be
achieved
The question with reference to
American aid was: How can China
win this new war or resistance?
What help does she require? Can
the National government survive
without foreign help? Do you ex-
poet a third world WARP"
To this Chang answered in part.
The first step, it seems to me, is
for the United States to reactivate
its policy Of giving moral support
to the Chinese government in its
fight against Communism"
