Reported Smashed
ay "a A.sexso.sa sssss

LA PAZ. Bolivia. June e.
Bolivia announced yesterday that
loyal soldiers and civilians had
smashed an attempt by revolu-
tionaries TO capture the town O!
villazon on the Argentine border
The attack came amid reports
that extreme rightist and leftisi
groups had formed a coalition Ia
overthrow the government oil
President Enrique Hertzog and
acting President Mamerto Uric
lagoitia.
The Ministry of Inferior said
the rebels attacked frontier sta
tions and police headquarters In
Villazon. 375 miles southeast oi
La Paz. early Saturday. One
soldier was reported seriousl,
wounded.
The Ministers OF Interior said
the attack was organized at Ia
Quiaca on the Argentine side o!
the border by elements OF the
National Revolutionary Movemen,
tMNR) and other political ex-
lies"
The MNR. which had been led
by assassinated President Gual-
berto Villaroel. was branded as
pro-Nazi by the American State
Department In 1916.
A government source said the
attack on Villazon was belived to
be related to the outbreak OF
violence among striking tin miners
last week in which 80 persons
were killed and 81 injured.
The strike and disorders also
were blamed on the MNR by the
Bolivian government.

INHERITANCE TAXES

Despite the fact that inheritance taxes at dan
gerous almost cQnfiscatoy high level there those who
demand they be boosted to such high rate virtually to
prevent from passing property to his children
Within reasonable limits and for tax-revenue purposes
only there should be inheritance taxes. However, the
primary purpose of further increasing inheritance taxes
to wipe out and cherished right to lave
possessions to children it should be opposed with all
the vigor command
The effort to passing ones property at death
is communstcinspired Here in America have always
recognized the right of any citizen to bequeah his goods
and chattels to whomsoever he desires AS matter of fact
until recently always has been popuary considered that
selrespectng citizen has definite obligation provide
for his family after death.
The billions of dollars of life force
American lives the billions of dollars deposit in Ameri
Savings Banks and the further billions invested in
bonds eloquent testimonials the fact that
Americans do provide for those members of their
families who may survive them. Further in this
of reckless governmental spending it is proof positive that
the American people themselves continue to be thrifty and
to have thought for the morrow.
Therefore when those in high places refuse to admit
that such family obligations exist and contemplate taking
steps to prevent passing property to families
they agitang something that not accordance with
the wishes of the vast majority of the American people
Were to raise inheritance taxes to the confscaory
level we simply would be apng Communism and Fascsm,
for both OF these dctaoria economies that the fa
my unit and the family religion must be destroyed because
they the states greatest enemy.
1t not be denied that isolated instances cited
OF undeservng persons falling heir to huge nhertance
Occasionally we hear of neerdowells payboys and play
girls squandering their nhertances foolish
living These publcized in the public press
magned far beyond their real importance They are few
in comparison with the many many unpublicized deserv
ing benefciaries of inherited property who in their
rights have contributed and contributing greatly to the
general welfare
Yesy~by all means,~l have Inheritance taxes~and
heavy at that they need for tarevenue pur-
poses But let resist with all strength any attempt
to levy heavy inheritance taxes designed solely pre-
vent our passing on our savings he product of sweat
and to to children. That would be un-American and

TAX DRAWBACKS

Ray Palmer of the Barnesve Enterprise says that when
the idea of withholding income taxes from wages and
salaries advanced by Beardsey Rum it seemed good
except for the fact that it made every employer col
lector This is nuisance and imposition. With some
concerns the cost of keeping records making
ports probably into big figures
Time and experience have revealed additional flaws
in the withholding tax idea
AS it stands it is hidden tax in that the worker is
not always conscious that he is paying taxes hidden
is always a bad tax.
If the worker had to plank down his tax once
year quarterly, he would be lot conscious of
the fact that big government is taking big chunk of his
regular earnings This might make lot persons
cerned about the spendingsn Washington.
We have always had the feeling too that the withhold
ing tax contributing to industrial strife The worker may
feel that his not large enough and he strikes

tries. 1t did so by a sound fiscal
policy and the gold standard from
1896 to 1912. 1t believes now that,
if sound economic progress is to
be achieved, it can only be accom-
plished by constant increase in
production and the productivity of
the workman or farmer. 1t be-
lieves that such an increase can
only be brought about by liberty
of individual life, by liberty of
men to work at their chosen occu-
pations at fair wages, by the lib
erty of each businessman to run
his own business as he sees fit so
long as he does not interfere with
the rights of others to do the same.
1t believes in permitting an ade-
quate reward for hard work, abil-
ity, genius, and initiative. y
1t is, therefore, opposed to ex-
cessive taxation and to govern
ment interference with business
through price-fixing, wage-fix-
ing, rationing or government
competition.
THE Federal Government should
concern itself with laws and
executive action to prevent the
destruction of business freedom
through monopoly and unfair COM
petition. Furthermore, it , must
concern itself with the abolition of
all special privilege for employers
or employees and the maintenance
of equality between business and
labor in labor-management rela-
tions, as it has done through the
Taft-Hartley Law. That law should
be perfected and improved. Where
regulation is necessary to main
tain liberty or equality, it should
be done by definite laws, inter
preted by courts rather than by
the arbitrary discretion of govern
ment boards.

off, not wanting to comment on
this breach. But he admitted he
had heard many West Point men
say they wished they could have
seen their Galiffa pitted against
Bob Williams of the Fighting
Irish.
Galiffa was sterling per.
former all season, and Rolly re-
marked that Coach Blaik had
handled him perfectly. Then the
coach's son, Bob Blaik, was men,
toned. Rolly predicted:
Young Bob Blaik may turn
out to be the best quarterback
we've ever had. He's big and he
can throw and punt. He has
brains and he has developed
great confidence. A quarterback
must be sure of himself and the
10 other fellows have to be con-
fident of his ability. The SQUAD
goes for Bob, every man of them.
His father has leaned backwards
to keep from favoring him. But
ne won't be able to keep him
down next season."
Rolly said Army's schedule
will be tougher next fall. They
will play Stanford in California:
other big games will include
Navy, Penn and Michigan.
Rolly smiled about this years

on sound basis of fiscal secur-
ity by balanced budget and a
level of taxation which does not
deter business expansion as it
has done in Great Britain. 1t is
completely opposed to socialism
as destructive of liberty and
progress.
Liberty must be the guiding
principle of true progress in other
fields. Since primary and second
ary education are already the con-
Germ of state and local govern
ment controls should never be
concentrated at Washington, but
the Federal Government can assist,
particularly in making it possible
for the poorer states to give a
first-class education as proposed
in the aid-to-education bill.
WE should maintain free medi-
w cal profession and local control
of public health and medical care,
but the Federal Governments should
assist with advice and research
and by financial aid where prog
ress is checked by the taxing in
abilities of the states. The same
kind of aid should be given to help
states improve public welfare SER
vices and housing.
If we are going to have a gov
ernment in this country ruled by
free people, however, there mast
be as little interference as possible
with the right of local communi-
ties to run their own affairs, par
ticularly in these matters of edu-
cation, health, welfare and housing,
which can bring the Government
in contact with every family in the
land.
We should recognize also that
free government service ultimately
deprives the recipient of liberty as
we'll as initiative and self-reliance.
AS far as those who are unable to
provide a minimum decent stand
ard of living for their families, it
is perhaps better to lose some
liberty than to suffer extreme
hardship and poverty, but the
Federal Government should not be
interested in helping states give
free service to those able to earn
it for themselves.
If we can keep the under
lying strength of truly free
people, there is no limit to the
extent to which our economic
condition can be improved. But
an economy controlled by gov
ernment police methods offers
dead level of stagnation.
