Moy an Employer Interfere With

The owner OF a cotton mill
opened q store where his employees
could buy their necessities. Pretty
soon somebody else started mar
ket right across the street. The mill
owner was SO angry at this COM
petition that he forbade his en-
ployees to have any social contacts
with the owner of the market or his
family. Afraid for their jobs, the
mill workers obeyed the order.
Finally, the market owner brought
a damage suit against the mill own
Grand the court granted his claim.
The judge said; 1T is the legal
right Of every man to enjoy social
relations with his friends and neigh
bors. He Is entitled to visit them
and have them visit him. The free
and unhampered exercise of this
right Is necessary to his happiness,

Is the City Responsible

A man was walking home one

grassy strip between sidewalk and
curb. Unfortunately, the city had
a water meter there, half-hidden in
the grass and covered with only
flimsy piece of wood. The man

and fell to the ground. Injured, he
sued the city for damages. The
city argued that the man should
have stayed on the sidewalk" but
the court disagreed and allowed
the claim. The judge said that
pedestrians have perfect right
to walk on that strip if they feel
like 1t. and therefore the city is
responsible for keeping 1t In safe

MOSHE SHAPIRO

The son of a Polish rabbi,
Moshe Shapiro, Israel's Minister
of immigration and Minister Of
Interior, was born in Grodno, Po-
land in 1902. At the age of IL, he
was attracted to a small group of
B'nai Zion (Sons of Zion), who
collected funds for ''Keren Haye-
sod" Up alestine Foundation
Fund of the Zionist Organization) i.
Destined for the Rabbinate
from an early age, Shapiro later
travelled throughout Poland, Lii
thuania, and Germany to solidify
the Zionist movements in those
countries. Following training at
the Rabbinical Seminary in Ber-
lin, Shapiro realized that he was
called on to serve the Zionist
Movement and not to be a rabbi.
Shapiro came to Palestine in 1925
and played an important role in
strengthening the Hapoel Hamiz-
rachi, religious-labor youth
movement. In 1885, Shapiro was
elected to the Jewish Agency
Executive as one of three alter
nate members. He was appointed
a full member Of the Executive
in 1915.
Mild-mannered and even-tem-
pered, Shapira's ready smile has
won many followers, He spends
much time studying the Talmud.

Tax Bill Won't Stop
lnflationary Trend

The price initiation that we are having
comes primarily from an excess of pur-
chasing power in relation to the amount
of goods available for civilian consump.
tion. The professed purpose of the new tax
bill is to syphon off purchasing power from
everybody by higher income taxes, and
30 to reduce the demand for goods.
As one can See by looking at the adjoin-
ing table, the bill increases by only rela-
lively small amounts the taxes of the
overwhelming majority of the people,
those in the lower income brackets. The
bulk of the purchasing power lies in these
lower income groups, because there are
so many more people in them.
A married man with two children earn
ing $1,000 year would have So a year
more tax to pay. His ''take home income"
after taxes would be reduced less than
one-third Of one per cent. A married man
with two children earning $4,000 a year
would have $50 more tax to pay. His take
home income" would be reduced less than
one per cent. A married man with two
children earning $4,000 year would have
his taxes increased dollar week. Tax

increases of this relatively small size will
not conceivably drain off enough of the
excess purchasing power to stop infla.
tionary price rises.
In the high income brackets, however,
the tax increases are extremely steep.
They reduce the take home income" by
heavy percentages. The increased taxes
in those brackets will not have an ap-
preciable effect in retarding initiation,
however, because family with an income
after taxes of 20 or 30 or 40 thousand
dollars year will probably continue to
buy as much meat, for example, after the
tax increase as it did before. But with
sharply higher taxes in the larger income
brackets there will be substantially smaller
funds for investment, much less risk cap
itaf" available to start those new business
ventures which increase overall produc-
ton and so tend to keep down prices and
raise the country's standard of living.
President Truman's council of economic
advisers recently stated that SO per cent
Of all income after federal taxes is re-
ceived by taxpayers with net incomes Of
less than $4,000. This is under the pres
ent law. Yet the new tax bill puts most
Of the burden of increased tax rates on
the individuals who already are paying
such high taxes that their combined in
comes after taxes constitute only small
proportion Of all national income. The
purpose Of this part of the bill is not to
raise revenue to retard initiation but to
level down incomes in the same pattern

The Proposed Tax
Bill Is Dishonest

BECAUSE Of poor job Of reporting and
Interpretation by the press services and
the Washington correspondents, the public
doesn't yet understand the real nature of
the tax bill that the administration jammed
through the lower house of congress
June %.
All tax bills are complicated and diff
cult. to understand. Probably when the
majority of the congressman cast their
votes they had little idea either of the
bills detailed provisions or of what its
economic consequences would be. The bill
was handled under CLOSED rule" which
means that no amendments of any kind
could be introduced from the floor, and de-
bate time was limited.
Although the measure was presented
by the administration as being something
to stop initiation" it would accomplish
little along that line. Actually, If the bill
is passed in its present form by the SEN
ate, its net effect will be to stimulate in
stead of retard initiation. In other words,
1t is a phony, dishonest bill.
A group of Washington left-wing labor
union economists and propagandists were
the bills real authors. It is only fair to
conclude that their ultimate purpose, as
suming they understand the economic con-
sequences of the bill, is to change the
American economy into something COM
parable to the dismal socialism that now
exists in Great Britain.
The Star does not believe for a moment
that the rank and file members of labor
unions want any such thing. Most labor
union members, along with the overwhelm-
ing majority of the public, want the ira.

that England followed on its way to So
cialism.
BY its method Of taxing corporations
the bill would have extremely harmful
economic effects, not because of the
amount of the total tax on corporations
but because Of the manner by which q
corporations taxes would be computed.
The bill provides, in effect, that a cor
poration will hereafter have to pay an
excess profits" tax of 50 percent on such
earnings as are above three-fourths of the
average amount that that company earned
annually in three of the four years of
1916, 47, '48 and 40.
Thus corporation that earned a mil.
hon dollars year, for example, during
the late 1940s win hereafter have to pay
an excess profits" tax Of 81 percent on
any earnings above three quarters of a
million. Such tax rate will result, in
evitably, in corporations tolerating waste
full and inefficient practices. In effect,
81 percent of the incentive for striving for
maximum production at minimum cost il
eliminated. Companies that now are earn.
ing more than three-fourths as much as
they made previously will inevitably tend
to keep unnecessary employees on their pay
rolls, and the more severe the national
manpower shortage becomes the more this
will be true.
For the government to say that a bust.
ness must now pay an 81 per cent excess
profits" tax on all of its earnings above
three-fourths of its previous earnings is
