Laugh Of Week;
No Price Gouging

Chicago UPAJ- There's abso-
lutely, positively, no truth to the
charges that business is price
gouging and building up excessive
inventories. Who says SO? The bus
inessmen themselves.
The Chicago Journal of Com
merce, ever enterprising, made "a
comprehensive survey of wide
cross-section of business" polling
1863 leading corporations. Said the
Journal:
american corporations are not
price-gouging. The prices of the
things they buy have gone up fast
er than the price tags they put on
the things they sell. In short, the
survey shows that corporations
have done exactly the opposite of
what the enemies of the American
business system have charged"
That explains, of course, how
corporations have managed to
make such fantastic profits, some
even showing amazing percentage
increases on decreased sales.
(In Philadelphia, Charles f.
Wilson, president of Genera |
Motors, declared that wages ought
to be boosted in line with profits
from improved technology but that
such increases should not bring
higher prices. Speaking on ma
tion-wide broadcast, Wilson said
at is fair, logical and reasonable
to maintain the purchasing power
of an hours work in terms of
goods and services the employe
must purchase in his daily living.")

Railroads Give Up
On Sticking US
For Hauling Mail

Washington (LPA)-Comes next
January, the nations railroads are
going to stop sticking Uncle Sam
twice for hauling the mail. A stip-
ulation to that effect was entered
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission Nov. 8.
Ever since 1916 the railroads
have been charging Uncle Sam for
hauling a carload of mail to it's
destination, and then charging him
exactly the same rate for return
of the railroad car, empty.
No other customer of the rail-
roads has been stuck that way. All
other customers pay a one-way
rate, and even that one-way rate
is under the rate charged Uncle
Sam for the outgoing trip.
The ICC of course must agree to
the stipulation. At the hearing
Nov. 8 the railroads introduced
their exhibits, and the Post Office
department it's exhibits, and then
the hearing was adjourned to Nov.
20, when the argument will be over
new rates for hauling the mail.
Final decision is up to the ICC, and
it is possible that the new one-way
rate set by the ICC may approxi-
mate the present round-trip rate.
Estimates as to the extra cost
to 1.-THE government of the round
trip provision range from $30,000,-
900 to $100,000,00O a year. Legis-
lation to repeal that provision was
introduced in the Senate last year
bysiSen. Hubert H. Humphrey I'd,
Mimi. and was fought by the rail-
roads at hearings on the measure.
The Senate Post Office and Civil
Service Committee decided the
matter needed further study"
The committee asked the Post
master General, General Account
ing Office and the General Services
Administration to make the study.
They did, and all recommended
elimination of the "round trip" pro-
vision.
The results of the study were
published last month. Shortly
thereafter the railroads capitulate-
ed, and notified the Post Office De-
partment that they would agree to
eliminate the provision Jan. 1, 1861.

URGES GREATER ROLE FOR
UNIONS IN GREECE

Athens (LPA)-A greater role
for the unions in Greek reconstruc-
ton has been urged by George
Philip Delaney, of the American
Federation of Labor. Delaney, in
Athens to consult with the Mar
shall Plan mission on labor policy,
said he hoped his visit would lead
to increased participation of Greek
labor in the planning of Greek re-
construction.
Recent changes in structure, said
Delaney, will bring the Greek
trade union movement into line
with those methods which have
been found most fruitful by all the
leading democratic labor move
ments of the world"

SNYDER Asks 1870 Tax On Excess
Profits: Ducks On Refroucfivify

washington (LPA) - Secretary
Of the Treasury John B. Snyder
has asked the House Ways and
Means committee to approve a "a
percent tax on excess corporation
profits.
Appearing before the committee
Nov. Is, Snyder declared such q
tax should be applied to profits
exceeding rs percent of a corpor-
atoms average profits in the three
best years in the l946-49 period
or on it's Invested capital" which
ever base is the easier on the COM
pany.
Although Snyder read a prepar-
ed statement which was master
ly presentation of many aspects OF
the case for an excess profits tax
ne proved once more that he is just
a conservative banker at heart
after the Congressman began ask
ing questions. (Snyder was bank
er in st. Louis before entering the
cabinet.)
The Secretary testified the day
after President Truman in a letter
to Ways and Means Chairman Bot
Doughton of North Carolina urged
an excess profits tax retroactive
to July l, 1850. Snyder, however
refused to endorse the retroactive
date and is known to dislike it
Under questioning he also showed
himself as something less than 9
Fair Deal advocate or other aspects
of the tax.
Feeling is growing that there
won't be any excess profits taH
passed by the 1ame duck" session
of the 81st Congress which con
venes Nov. 81. And it's no GER
tainty that the 82nd Congress will
enact the kind Of tax labor anC
liberal groups have demanded
However, the tax-writing commit
tees of the 81st are obligated by
the tax law passed in September to
report excess profit tax bills foi
Congressional consideration.
Snyder said the administrations
proposal would yield about $4 ,000,-
100000 for fiscal 1861, which be-
gan last July /. However, he urged
that Congress place no termination
date on a tax program which will
endure for a number of years. He
also indicated that his excess pro-
fit proposals were only a fore-run-
ner of still .stiffer proposals to
come when the defense program
gets rolling.
Here is how the profit tax would
be figured: A corporation with sub
stantial defense profits would first
have to decide whether to use the
1946-49 "base period" or its invest
ed capital (money invested in the
business plus retained earnings")
as tax basis.
Say the base period is decided
upon, and 1947-48-49 are found to
be the most profitable postwar
years. Say the average profits in
those years is $10,000,000. Take rs
percent of that sum, which is ST.
100000. All annual profits in ex-
cess Of this latter figure would be
subject to an excess-profits tax of
70 percent (while the normal
profits would be subject to a regu-
lar corporate income tax of AS per-
cent?
Or say invested capital is decid-
ed upon. Snyder said that corpora
tions that earn "a low rate Of re-
turn on capital, or that have been
recently organized or that "failed
to participate in the general pros

Steel Must Go Up. But That's Not
InfIofion, Ben Foirless Declares

He boasted of Big Steels cur
rent expansion program which will
be completed by 1852. By then, he
said, new expansion programs
would be under way. Fairless was
openly defending himself against
charges hurled at the steel indus
try that it's reluctance to expand
delayed World War ii production
and that the present shortages are
due to its reluctance to start post
war expansion soon enough.

Unemployment Compensation Law
Should Be Expanded

Montpelier, VT. (LPA) - Yer
mont's unemployment compensation
law should be changed so that
workers in firms having one OF
more employees would be covered
instead of eight or more as at pre-
sent. That was the recommendation
of the Advisory Council of the
State Unemployment Compensa-
ton Commission. II estimated that
the proposed change would increase
the number of covered workers by
22.l percent, raising the total to
6,429. The number of employers
affected would be increased from
1875 to 7423.

Price War Cuts
Coffee Prices

Portland, Oregon UPA)-When
one shop advertised below-cost
prices on coffee, price war start
ed here. Independents and some
chain food markets cut prices on
some nationally advertised brands
to 65 cents.
The merchants groups rushed to
District Attorney John b. McCourt
demanding he enforce the state
anti-price discrimination law, but
when McCourt asked which groc-
ers would testify they are being
damaged by the price-cutting, Rob
ert Green, executive secretary of
the Oregon Food Merchants Asso-
citation, said no one would testify
He said that was because the en-
suing publicity could drive custom
ers to the violator.
When Green offered to testify
however, on the evils of loss-lead-
er selling, McCourt explained Green
would have to qualify as an expert
in the economics of loss-leader sell
ing before he could testify. And
even then, McCourt said, Green
couldn't be both an expert witness
and the complainant in the case.
And on top of that, McCourt point
ed out, such a court case would be
hard to win, because the jurors
would be consumers, and in sym
pathy with price-cutting.
(In Denver, a chain-letter cam
paign against coffee buying has
driven prices DOWN.
