For Good Printing Call Main 125
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-03-10

At. any rate, the Republicans
agreed unanimously to work for the
repeal of these wartime taxes. You
might be interested to know that
there are excise taxes on wrist
watches, on jewelry, on kitchen
stoves, on refrigerators, on railroad
transportation and air transportation,
on the electricity you use and on GER
tain other utilities, not to mention a
variety of other articles and COM
modities used by millions of people.
The Republican leadership pointed
out, in announcing the decision to
work for excise tax reduction, that
these taxes were passed under the
guise of wartime necessity. But the
war now has been over for more than
three years. Also, it was pointed out,
many of these taxes were levied by
the former Democratic Congress of
recent years as luxury" taxes, al
though many Of the items taxed are
far from luxury category in the mind
of the average man.
Last week the Truman admins
tration for the first time officially
recognized the decline in business
activity, which has been apparent to
many observers for the last two or
three months, when the Federal Re-
serve Bank issued orders easing in
stallment credit. Under the new order.
which had gone forth to all Federal
Reserve Banks, in an attempt to
stimulate business activity, those who
wish to make purchases on the in
stallment plan can now obtain 81
months credit. Previously, under
famous Regulation w on a purchase
of over one thousand dollars credit
could be obtained for only 10 months,
and for only Is months on purchases
of under one thousand dollars. The
new order also reduces from 20 per-
cent to Is percent the down payment
which must be made on purchases of
less than one Thousand dollars.
There is a great deal of criticism of
the 9Th Semi-annual Report of the
Atomic Energy Commission-a 213
page document released last week.
The report is illustrated with many
photographs and charts which give
information of the utmost value to

top" over the making public of this

The Bonus Drive

The small minority of elected Of
ficials in Washington, deeply con-
cerned about the condition of the
Federal finances and acutely aware of
the accommodating dangers of uncon-
trollable deficits and unchecked debts,
nevertheless, up to now, has con-
tinued valiantly to make its fight
for retrenchment and to regain fiscal
stability.
They have done this despite the
fact that public resistance to reck-
less spending appears to lessen as
the size, cost and waste Of the
Government operation increase. Dur
ing last year, for example, Senator
Byrd points out, more than 100000
new civilian employees have been
piled on the public pay roll. However,
if two things happen at the current
session of Congress this band of men
who, undismayed, have been battling
against heavy odds for sixteen years
will throw up the sponge and quit.
This will not be because they have
lost courage or gone soft or changed
their views. 1t will be because the
sheer futility of keeping up the fight
will have become so clear that it
would be silly to do so.
The first of these things concerns
the Hoover Commissions report on
reorganization of the executive
branch. Detached men who know
enough about this report intelligently
to discuss it are agreed on four
things: "a That it is the most COM
prehensive and thorough ever made by
a Government commission; 90 that
if its main recommendations are
adopted not only would efficiency of
Government be greatly enhanced but
about $3,00O,000,000 year would be
saved; CD that opposition from the
Federal iobholders and their political
sponsors is formidable and deter
mined; (4) that if the main features
of the report are not accepted by
Congress all hope Of ever getting the
Federal machine to manageable pro-
portions will disappear. Clearly, this
is the last chance.
The second thing Which would end
the fight for retrenchment concerns
the terans' bonus and pension bills,
introduced in the House at this ses-
sion. If the Hoover report fails, the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-03-10

prospect of averting national bank
ruptcy will certainly be decreased.
But if, on top Of that, the general
pension and bonus proposals-which,
according to Mr.. Harold A. Keats,
national commander of the American
Veterans of World War ii, were APP
proved by a 10-to-1 vote-should be
approved by the House this session,
why then, say the doughty advocates
of national solvency, it would, indeed
be kitty, bar the door" For the I'M
broken bonus and pension history in
this country shows that any general
bonus or pension bill getting that far
becomes a law within about three
years. Though Senates reject and
Presidents veto, the weight behind
forces enactment. There is not a
single known instance in which any
general bill of this kind has perma-
nently failed.
If and when the present bonus and
pension proposals meet success, the
cost to the government is estimated
at from $4O,OOO,OOO,OOO to $67, $780,
100000. What that will do to an al
ready overburdened fiscal structure
need not be described. Clear-headed
members of Congress shudder when
they think of it. No such bill will go
through this year. Though the House
may pass it, the Senate will not; or,
if it did, Mr.. Truman would veto it
just as Mr.. Coolidge vetoed one in
1924 and Mr.. Hoover vetoed one in
1881 and Mr.. Roosevelt vetoed one in
1895 and again in 1886. In each of
those instances the bill was finally
passed over the Presidents veto and
became law. If, say the forecasters,
the House passes the bill by an en-
Ephatic vote this session, it easily may
become law at the next session as
1850 is an election year. If not, then
1t IS sure to pass, regardless of a
veto, before the 1852 session ends.
That is the prospect.
When it is considered that already
eight states have voted bonuses
amounting to four times the total
state bonuses provided after World
War |; that in ten more states pro-
posals are pending which if approved
would bring the total state cash pay
ments to $2,SOO,OOO,OO0; that when
, the soldiers were mustered out they
received additional pay-and later
still We're voted terminal leave" pay
by Congress; that they received many
| additional advantages, such as insur-
ance policies, etc, under the so called
CT Bill of Rights-when all these
things are considered, the hope OF
members of Congress that this time
the demand for a Federal bonus
would not develop can be understood
The hope was bolstered by an en-.
lightened attitude taken by many SER
vice men who sought to identify the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-03-10


veterans interest with the national
interest, who pointed out that bonuses
eventually must be paid by the tax
payers, including veterans, and de-
clared the veteran ought to be "a
citizen first and veteran second"
1t now seems that that hope was
not well founded The demand for
Federal bonus on top of the state
bonuses and the CT privileges and
compensations has been made and
bonus history is expected to repeat
itself in a big way. Veteran Admins
tration expenditures are now running
close to $7,0O0,OO0,0OO a year, which
is seven times as much as in 1888,
when the late President Roosevelt
forced a reduction to less than $780,
100000 on the plea that the country
could not carry the load. In less than
two years the total was greater than
before, which shows the power of
the forces behind the bonus demands.
They are, of course, stronger now
than they were then. When the state
bonus drive has succeeded, they will
be in position to concentrate upon the
Federal bonus. The measure of it's
success will be the character of the
House action at this session.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn Beall

One very constructive action taken
by the Policy Committee of the Re-
publican Party in Congress in recent
days was that of agreeing to work
for a reduction in the wartime excise
taxes which are levied on numerous
products used in the home, or on the
farm.
These taxes are called luxury"
tax, so-called, on women's purses.
What makes a woman's handbag q
luxury? Are the pockets in mems
trousers considered as luxuries?
In this connection, we might add
that it seems that many New Dealers
think it is wrong for a man to have
anything left in his pocket when the
tax collector gets through reaching.
