Speaking of Handouts. See How
Many Tuft Received!

After campaigning in Ohio for 13 weeks Senator Robert
A. Taft changes his strategy He has been pounding away
on "Statsm' and Socialism and the Welfare State Now
he is to devote himself to the "Handout State"
The senator is likely find he has made an unfortunate
shift.
Very few Americans have received as many handouts
as Senator Taft He born into very rich family From
the moment he first gmpsed the light of day he has re-
ceved one huge 'handout after another
The senator had to work single day. Food
clothing, housing servantsa were part of the huge
"handou bestowed on Senator Taft by his ndulgen family
When he wished to travel abroad attend prep
school and college, he didn't have to worry about the cost
His multi-millonaire family gave him ''handout.
After he had marched through law school, it wasn't
necessary for Bob Taft to start at the bottom His family
and relatives were there with the handouts
So it has been right down through the years Senator
Taft has received and bigger handouts than almost
any of his age 1t should be noted he wasn't re-
uured pay any Social Security any of these hand
outs" They all came free, gratis, for nothing"
Why even now, when he is running for reelection
year ahead of time he has begging committees operating all
the country soliciting Handouts" for the Taft cam
pagn fund
of Tory than he has been during his eleven years in
the Senate.
If he can help it, no. one will get any Handouts" in this
country except the children of rich Pensions for the
aged benefits for the unemployed adequate medical care for
the desperately ILL., decent housing support for the prices of
farm productsthose the handouts which arouse the
rage of Senator Robert A. Taft
The senator says he finds the people of Ohio troubled
about the size of the national debt and the spending of this
administration He doesn't explain that senator from
the Buckeye State he voted for that debt and far
know, for practically all the spending.
How did we get the debt? Certainly Harry Truman of
Missouri didn't impose it Uncle Sam borrowed money
to fight World War H. Did Senator Taft vote against any
of those loans?
Why we spending lot of money now? Because we
have interest those loans We have to take of
the boys who injured in the great We have to
provide and and air force to protect the
democraces of the West against Communism Senator Taft
not be bright but he certainly knows that the only
Uncle Sam make worthwhile savings in his expendi
lures is by cutting military costs. When did Senator Taft
make a move in that direction?
"Handout Taft is fighting for his political life. He has
just one chance to win. If the Democrats dummy

The workers of Ohio have duty to perform in 1850.
They must register and that every member of their fam

To Win Bottle Against Recession

1850. If worker in nation could receive l0cent
hourly wage increase SO billion would be added to
buying power nearly all of which would Immediately
spent for living necessities This would be enough to
verse the prospective downward trend of business the

in prospect for 1850 companies would hesitate to give
such increases unless earned by reducing costs.
Most American managements have seriously tried
cooperate with unions by submitting cost data and
ing union members of fair share in the savings that could
be made by joint effort to reduce costs.
Some amazing results could be accomplished workers
given week by week cost records they could the
results of their efforts and management agreed to share the
savings with them determining the just wage increase by
collective bargaining negotiations At least goal could be

Evasion

Students of Government have frequently pointed out
that of the weaknesses of tax system the
loophoe sometimes deliberately written into the laws by
Congress- that permit large corporations and wealthy nd
vduas to avoid at least part of the load they would
maly be expected to bear
Last week in Washington there indications that
Congress may take steps to correct this situation
Rep Anne j. Forand, the liberal Democrat from Rhode
Island made the statement that f every tax legally owed
the Government collected believe the budget could
be balanced without any tax increases"
Representative Forands statement carries weight since
he is of the leading members of the important House
Ways and Means Committee and knows what he is talking
about.
Trade unionists applaud his stand. Every tax dollar
that remains coected because of evaSonS adds unusy
to the load the rest of us must bear.
