that he begin, on June 1, his prev

resignation, Mr.. White asked for a
few days to think over the boards

Citing the tremendous pressure of
routine administrative activity and
its toll upon his health, Mr.. White
said: 81 have been warned again

me a favor.
For some time game wardens,

getting rid of unlicensed dogs.
Yesterday our pet, a mOngrel, but
a family friend and a licensed ami

our neighbor's backyard when two
of the wardens appeared on the
scene and approached the dog, one
with a gun in hand. The dog, sens
ing trouble, tried to got away, but
the expert shot, after four attempts
finally crippled the animal to sucl
an extent that they managed Il
get him, although he did craw
over to our garage. When / wa

Tax Hurts "Big Boys"
IN WASHINGTON


WYHAT about the tax picture
" insofar as this 8lst con-
gresS is concerned? This re-
porter has attempted to get an
overall picture of what is like
ly to happen, and if we are any
judge, President Truman's call for
a tax increase is not going to hurt
average Individual taxpayers and
neither will it hurt small business
men in the Home Towns Of the
country.
The Big Boys, Of course, win
be hurt Il the administration
tax measure goes through, with
emphasis on corporate taxes.
and some media are telling
the country that business win
be "penaIized'' by the admins
tratiOn tax proposals. The facts
are that the tax on the first
$3.50, 900 Of net income will show
a substantial reduction under
the Presidents program and
the corporate tax increase will
not show until the first million
dollars Of net income is
reached in the income bracket.
For instance, the present tax on
corporations provides that a cor
porate net income of $4,000 pays
approximately So, in taxes. Un.
der the Truman proposal this bust
ness corporation would pay $1,000
The corporation with a $50,000 mel
iEcome now pays $4,000 while un
der the administration proposal the
tax would be $4,000; $50. 900 ne
corporation income now pays $22.
800 while the proposed rate woulC
cut it to SIS. 800: a 100000 corpo
rate net income now pays $38. 90
and the new rate would cut it t
$29, 500; 100000 now pays $76,O
and the Truman bill would slas
that to $64,5O0; the $250.OO incom
now pays $4,000 and the Truma
bill would cut that to $82, 900: tn
$5Oo,0OO corporate net income no

The economic laws of life are catching up with

BABSON Discusses Mr.. Truman'S prosperity"

In the face of bureaucratic waste and inefticency
and demands for greater bureaucratic control to
create more waste businessmen are getting dis
couraged With the President wanting to embark
upon steel-makng, regardless of the consequences
to jobs and savings of millions involved business
men rightly question the Presidents business acu-
men.
GIVE FREEDOMsA CHANCE
Perhaps there are no longer men left%with the
competitive spirit. Perhaps all Americans are fast
becoming bunch of eeches unwilling to exert the
individual energy necessary to keep this country
great 1 cannot believe this. I am old-fashiOned
enough to believe in America and in those creative
principles which have made her great. I think Mr..
Truman needs to develop a similar faith in our
country He needs to add a fifth freedom to the
now famous fOur-namely: FREEDOM OF ENTER
PRISE.
The fruits of freedom will ripen only if the social
climate is conducive to good growth The human
organism may have the experience, knowledge, and
necessary inheritance to develop into full-blOwn
free man. But, how humans these assets and
their savings depends envirOnmental factors
which alone develop industry, perseverance, com
petitiveness, and sef-reliance In short the human
organism must be adequately conditioned and mo-
tivated to "gt up and git" This is a lesson in ele-
mentary psychology of human relations which
President Truman Overooks.
GOVERNMENTS TRUE FUNCTION
If Mr. Truman is sincere in his desire to fulfill
his campaign promises, he will try to remedy his
gross misunderstanding of business functions. He
will realize the Importance of the competitive spirit
and the profit motive in a healthy and free national
economy Government is justified in preventing
monopoles and assuring that business is carried or
honestly; but otherwise politics and business dc
not mix to make prosperity.
