To Repeal a Bad Tax

It is not easy to convince Congress that
any District tax should be repealed The
tendency always is in the other direction But
the bill which Representative Mcmillan of South
Carolina has introduced for repeal of the local
personal property tax is deserving of early
passage. This is a bad tax from every view
point-including the Tax Collectors.
1t is bad tax because it has not been, and
probably cannot be- enforced equitably. Any
effort to enforce it as it should be enforced If
1t is to remain on the books would cost far
more than the $270,000 which haphazard appli-
cation of the tax nets the District today
Lacking an adequate enforcement staff, Tax
Collector Pearson must depend almost entirely
on the taxpayers own estimates of their per-
sonal property worth. Experience has shown
that this method encourages evasion and
leads to inequities In some cases the collectors
Office has guessed what the tax should be-
There is reason to believe that many residents
knowing about the lax enforcement, are avoid
ing payment of any personal property taxes
at all.
The District Commissioners have tried in
vain in past years to have the tax abolished
Invariably the proposal has encountered apathy
or antagonism of the soak-the- District advo-
Gates at the Capitol. Recently Commissioner
Donohue urged the Senate District Committee
to repeal the tax so that the Tax Collectors staff
could concentrate on more productive tax
collecting assignments. The Mcmillan bill is
designed to strengthen the Districts tax system,
not weaken it. No tax as incapable of fair
enforcement as the Districts levy on tangible
personal property should remain part of that
system.

Questions Eisenhower Proorum

President Eisenhower's state-of the
Union message appears to present
powerful program directed toward han
ding the affairs Of our Nation In
many aspects Of approach, it obviously
Is in antithesis to the methods applied
by his predecessor. The new order to
halt construction to q minimum of
activity, the proposed dissolution of
innumerable Federal agencies, thus
curtailing employment and creating q
new army Of thousands Of unemployed;
the lifting Of price controls, the order
for a more stringent loyalty" probe,
taking on proportions of a veritable
purge: the withdrawal of the 7th Fleet
from Formosa-the outline. step by
step, establishes a firm. militaristic
formula. both on the domestic and
foreign scenes.
The result Of the past 20 years of
Democratic programming and admin
tstration is now history. Despite the
propaganda cries Of acknowledgement"
"disloyalty" and corruption" with the
temporary exeunt of the New Deal
from the, spotlight, the record is OBJ
vious and these facts are self evident:
Cd An about war had been averted
sans benefit OF "get-tough" policy. (2)
Unemployment in the United States
has been at an all-time low. 80 De-
spite the distaste for the word "infla-
tion," the standard of living, for the
greatest number Of people. has been
higher than ever before-one of the
greatest weapons we have to combat
communism.
There is q basic hypothesis. I be-
lieve, that can be agreed upon by both
Republicans and Democrats alike: the
members Of both parties have at heart,
as their sincere intent and purpose. the
desire to serve the continued good and
welfare Of the people Of the United
States. Starting with this as an orig
inal premise, it now remains to be seen
which working program will best i'm
plement the achievement Of this mu-
tually desired goal

'Sonnpon Sam Proud Of Hawaiian Blood

Because Sam King Is an unrepentant
Taft man, President Eisenhower gets
extra points for lasseing him with the
big lei
Mr.. Kings rival, Randolph Crossley
was backed by the most powerful figure
OF the big sugar and pineapple interests,
Walter F. Dillingham;. In selecting Sam,
Gen. Eisenhower dared to pick out a
coconut-juice liberal squatting among
Bourbon Republicans.
Mr.. King has the Japanese, the most
prolific race of the islands, ready to
support him. The japanese have loyal
hearts and indelible memories.
When the Nisei, Hawaii-born Jap
anese, were being locked up in 1912
after the massacre of Pearl Harbor.
Sam King put himself between them
and the fury Of the crowd. With three
gold stripes Of naval commander on his
cuffs, he could afford to be outspoken.
He saved Hawaii's japanese from get
ting the dose that Henry Morgenthau
sold Roosevelt for Germany.
BY nicknaming him "Sampan SAM"
his enemies thought they had buried
Sam in Japanese kimono that would
last a lifetime. Actually they were
only providing the resurgent Republic
cans with progressive bellwether.
When Mr.. Truman made his threat
to send Hawaii an off-island governor,
Mr.. King became hero for his equal
rights" plea.
Mr.. King walks into Office with the
Communist stevedore leaders of Hawaii
on trial. He needs more than his nat
ural gentility to clean out the Commu-
nists from Hawaii's docks and orchards,
to even out island and mainland wages,
and to win statehood for the melting
pot of the Pacific.

Blockade Advocated

prevent our Government from exam
lining the cargo of any shipment which
she might have for Red China. II 1t
should contain any war materials,
then, Of course, we should prevent the
delivery Of such merchandise.
We know that England is socialistic
and has practiced some Of the policies

any other nation to go through our
blockade and deliver weapons of war

Complaint From the Gallery

On February 4, attended matinee
at Shubert Theater and climbed up the
rs steps to the gallery. Then climbed
down the 80 steps to my seat in the
front Of the gallery, which is most
difficult place to reach and get out of
in hurry. Heretofore always have
left by the emergency exits which is
quicker and much easier on elderly
persons than climbing again the 80
steps to the top of the gallery and
going down the IS steps to the street
floor
My seat was on the right aisle so I
went to the emergency exit on the right
side Of the gallery, as many others did
also. was astoniShed to find the exit
bolted and it was impossible to slide the
bolt to open it. It appeared to have been
locked the whole afternoon. Then. with
others, I went over to the exit on the
left. but the usher came down and
locked that door and refused to let
any one out that way.
have been attending plays in this
city since 1898. Physically the hearts
of elderly people are not as resilient as
they once were, so why penalize them
by making them climb up the SO steps
to the top Of the gallery again, when
by going down the emergency exits
they could be on the street sooner
without any strain on their hearts?
