TAXATION:
Cut Demanded

One figure in government, an
other important figure, once in,
now out, joined coincidentally
enough in demand for a cut in
federal spending and taxation.
THE GOVERNMENT FIGURE,
Virginia's Democratic Sen. Harry
Byrd, declared in Washington that
federal spending could be cut as
much as 10 billion dollars without
impairing government functions.
In Biloxi, Miss, James F.
Byrnes, former U. S. senator and
one-time secretary of state, sharp
ly criticized administration spend
ing and called for a cut in federal
taxes and public debt.
BYRD INSISTED that the spend
ing slash he urged could be brought
about by eliminating recent in
creases in more than 30 budget
items;' a two billion dollar cut in
"nonessential and deferable spend
ing through prompt and effective"
unification of the armed services.
Byrnes declared the nations
real trouble is debt and taxes.
We cannot cure it by more debt
and more taxes. We should devote
to cutting expenditures some of the
thought we are devoting to taxing
and borrowing"
These views would endear neith-
er gentleman to President Truman
who is always less polite to critics
of his spending policies.

the voyage of Captain Vancouver.

CHINA:
A New Try?

The situation in China appeared
to be thoroughly static, although
minor maneuvers would confuse
the casual observer. Chinese Redc
seemed easily in the saddle and
likely to remain there barring some
militant action from the West-a
wholly improbable occurrence.
THE UNITED STATES and the
United Nations had asked 30 coui,-
tries to join in a demand on Chi
nese Communists that u. S. Consul
Angus Ward be freed, and those
nations agreed. But there was little
said about what would be done if
the Reds declined to free the U. S.
consular official.
In another move, the ailing' Ii
Tsung-jen, acting president of the
practically defunct Nationalist re-
gime since Chang Kai-shek ire
tired" some months ago, might at
tempt to form third Chinese gov
eminent, independent of both the
Reds and Chang. Informed quar-
tiers in Hong Kong speculated to
some extent on the possibility of
such a maneuver.
FOREIGN OBSERVERS arriv-
ing in Hong Kong argued that it
was fair speculation that Ii might
attempt to form an anti-Commu-
INST, anti-Chiang organization and
&c tc the United States to seek sub
st2ntial material aid. According to
these sources, Ii was expected to
go to Washington soon to bolster
the aid pleas of his personal con-
tact man, Kan Chich-hou, who has
been there several months.
But wouldn't Lii be whistling up
drain pipe in any effort to involve
American cash in a China venture
which for all practical purposes
has been written off the Books?
If Chang, with the Nationalist
government behind him and sup
ported by extensive U. S. funds and
arms, couldn't stem the Red tide,
how could Ii believe he could con-
vince the U. S. that he could do it,
especially since he'd have 20 split
Chiang's forces and followers to
get any followers of his own?

Tax Showdown Due
IN WASHINGTON

IRON ALL INDICATIONS there
likely will be a showdown in
the next session of the 81st con-
gress over the taxing of patronage
dividends of farm cooperatives,
now exempt under section 101 Of
the internal revenue code.
The National Tax Equality asso-
citation and the National Association
of Business Men, a parent and
subsidiary organization which have
members of the same law firm as
officers, and which claim to repre-
sent small business, have been
waging unremitting warfare against
the farm co-opS and other tax eX-
empt organizations. They have
placed reams of testimony before
the small business and other COM
mittees of the congress.
There are some three million
small business firms strung
out through the country and
there are only something less
than 10000 farm co-opS, so this
reporter wonders why, if NTEA
and NAB are really representa-
tive Of small business and have
real case against the cO-ops,
they have not won this fight
long ago.
What muddies the waters is the
fact that the reports of these two
organizations filed with the con-
gress under the lobby law, show that
their main contributors of $500 or
more consist of big business firms
and large number of electric utili-
ties.
And insofar as their case against
the co-ops is concerned, whereas
NTEA claims the government is
losing almost a billion dollars an
nually in taxes, recent report of
the internal revenue bureau indi-
Gates the amount lost by the tax
exemption insofar as co-ops are
concerned is only something like
20 million dollars.
Fact is that this report shows
that farm co-ops which filed under
the code in 1916 paid nearly 81 mil
lion in all kinds of local taxes, plus
2.5 million corporation taxes, so
that they are not actually tax ex-
empt, only as to federal income
taxes. So it would be interesting
to know whether or not the hard
ware store, the farm implement
store, the feed store, the cannery
or any other small business in Win
amac, Indiana, or Defiance, Ohio,
or New Madrid, Missouri, or Enid,
Oklahoma, or any other home town
in any other state are actually in
this about fight to impose this tax
on the farm co-ops.
With the General Motors cor
pOration declaring an So divi-
dend on $40 par value stock
this year for its 436,0O stock
holders who split a grand total
of 1858 million dollars in divi-
dends after taxes, it appears to
this reporter that all this prop
uganda about our government
hurting the free enterprise sys-
tenn sounds pretty silly.

S p o r rs

urday night, in a brilliant $50
Victory over Miles College of
Birmingham, Alabama. The Tigers
last year came back from its game
with Miles with not only the sting
of a humilating defeat but also
with most of its first string men
either candidates for the first aid
station or the hospital.
The Tigers started their scoring
with the opening whistle when Will
lis Dillon with superb blocking by
his team mates ran the Miles kick
off back for 80 yards, while netting
a Is yard penalty. The brilliant run
by Dillon put the ball in position
for a Touchdown by Cooke with
the point added by toss over the
marker from Roberts to Peoples
giving the Tigers a TO lead.
Before the first period ended
Thompson again electrified the
crowd with a zigzagging 80 yards
return of a Miles punt and a sec
ond score.
The Tigers continued then scor-
ing in the second quarter with Roy
Hill and Peoples teaming up on a
30 yard pass which Peoples took
20 yards to score.
Another Tiger score followed
when Pugh blocked Miles point eff
fort which Skinner covered on pay
dirt.
Roberts and Hill followed by
teaming up for another touchdown
pass which was followed by an
other scoring pass from Roberts to
Twyner to complete the debacle of
the boys from Alabama.
Official of the game were: Black
burn, Smith, Hawkins and Bates.
A crowd of about $500 saw the
game from the all but finished first
section of the bleacher which when
completed will provide some 5000
