questions regarding the desirabili-
ty of onefourth of our present ma
tional income being devoted to de-
fraying the costs of government.
They ask first whether the pre-
sent tax burden is necessary. Their
second very natural question is
how the tax burden affects the
economy. 1t is obvious that a tax
policy that unduly burdens one
sector or another of our economy
may be one of the major contrib
uting factors to a future depres-
sion.
go We cannot escape the con-
clusion that taxes should remain
high, certainly as long as the pre-
sent inflationary trends continue
and income and production con-
tinue at high level. And it fol-
lows that any shifting of the tax
burden to the low income groups
over period of time, therefore.
will result in decreased purchasing
power that will be reflected in a
falling of consumption and pro-
duction that will invite depression.
"'This shifting sanctioned by the
Seventy-ninth and Eightieth Con-
crosses has already reached dan
gerous proportions. The decline in
corporation income tax collections
of from $l5.5 billion in 1945 to $9.l
billion in 1947 has been accompan-
led by steadily rising prices.

Labor Opposes LeUies
Hittin9,LO7ver Incomes

Labor generally, and especially
insofar as the Alaska Territorial
Federation Of Labor is concerned,
is opposed to any tax which bur-
dens the lower income group"
Thomas J. Moore, Executive Sec
rotary of the AFT of l. said in re-
ply to questions regarding the tax
program now planned for Alaska
Mr.. Moore stated that he felt
Attorney General Ralph Rivers re-
view of tax bills to be introduced
in the special session of the Ter
ritorial Legislature pointed to
wen-balanced tax plan for Alas
ka. However," MIR. Moore said,
caution must be exercised. Under
no conditions will Labor in Alaska
sanction a sales tax or encourage
taxes on such items as amuse-
mentS, utility bills and on the doz-
ems of necessities so often taxed
out of all proportion to the income
of the group paying the bulk of
these nuisance taxes"
Quoting in part a recent release
prepared by the Workers Educa-
ton Bureau of America and writ
ten by Arthur A Elder, Consultant
to the American Federation of La
boris Committee On Taxation, Mr..
Moore made the following points:
"'Alarmists are all too ready to
point to the huge (nationaD tax
bill and declare that our economy
is going to the bow-woWs. Intelli-
gent members of organized Labor,
however, raise only two pertinent

portant fact is that while taxes on
corporations declined $6.4 billion
yearly, taxes on consumers in the
form of levies on sales, use and
gross receipts increased approxim-
ately So billion yearly. During the
same period the cost of living. in
dex rose from 1884 to 1885 while
corporation profits increased from
$50 billion to $16.9 billion after
taxes.
The two successive reductions
in the personal income tax which
chiefly benefited those in the up
per income tax brackets also COM
bined with the cut in corporation
income tax-to increase the pro-
portion Of total tax revenue Sc
cured from taxes on consump-
ton"
Mr.. Moore concluded by pointing
out that Mr.. Adler states, "'usual-
ly the substitute tax program is
not based on the ability to pay and
bears more heavily on the workers
than would a moderate increase
in real estate tax or a state Cor
territory imposed locally-sha
income tax that provides suitable
exemptions
Moore added that he had no
specific recommendations to make
until such time as the planned tax
bills were introduced and could be
studied by his and other Labor
and progressive organizations

Federal Court
Declares Boswell
Amendment
Unconstitutional

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 7. A three judge
Federal court which prefaced its
opinion by reminding a crowded
court room and Alabama's Solicit
or General, that if a Negro is good
enough to shoulder arms and fight
to defend his country on the field
of battle, then he is good enough
to vote, declared the Boswell
Amendment unconstitutional here
today.
The Boswell Amendment to the
constitution of the State of Ala
bama, regarded as the last barrier
to Negro voting in the South, re-
quired prospective registrants for
voting to be able to understand
and explain the state and federal
constitution to the satisfaction of
the County Board of Registrars.
In declaring the amendment un-
constitutional the court held that
the Boswell Amendment was pass
ed wholly for the purpose of dis
franchising Negro citizens.
The court permanently enjoined
the Mobile ounty Board Of Regis
trars from enforcing the require
ments of the two-year-old voter
qualification law Gin determining
the qualification of any citizen
who applies for registration as an
elector."
