Eleven jurisdictions telght states,

Ten states and one territory now

holes, erOsions and evasions in the
tax laws cost the federal government
So billion year and have stripped
our progressive tax structure of some
attributes of equity" AFL-CIO Re-
search Director Stanley H. Ruttenberg
told the Conference on Taxation of
the National Tax Association here.
The result has been that an increas-
ingly unfair tax burden has been
placed on low and middle income fami-
lies" he said, while tax avoidance
for the wealthy has been legalized or
ignored"
Ruttenberg described types of 'loop-
holes, erosions and evasions" in some
detail. He cited unreported income, cut
rates for special types of income, the
capital gains, split income and de-
probation provisions, and depletion
allowances working to the advan-
tage of the wealthy individual or cor
poration.
''Erosions have reduced the amount
OF income reported for income tax pur-
poses" he concluded. 'Loopholes have
been inserted that permit the wealthy
to reduce the amount of taxes they
pay. Evasions seem to be the order of
the sometimes legal, sometimes
illegal.
"This attitude toward the payment
of federal taxes has resulted in reduc-
ing the progressive character of our
tax structure.
The continued whiting away at
the tax base by the wealthy, high-in-
come taxpayers makes a mockery out |
of what most tax experts were once |
proud to call the effective and pro-
gressive federal tax structure of the

NEW YORK-Post-electi analysts
here view labor's political action in
the Empire State as having succeeded
in increasing voter registration sub
stantially. Beyond that, labor's role is
difficult to assess.
Impartial political observers, friend
ly to labor, questioned whether labor
registration activity was matched ade-
quately with prediction educational
campaign on the issues. One cOmmen-
tator said:
Where trade union political action
has been effective in the past it has
been on bread and butter issues, pri-
marily because of economic insecurity.
Trade unions were able then to per
suade their members because they had
the right candidate and the right issue.
1t would be worth examining whether
organized labor has learned to be ef-
fective on any other basis except the
issue of economic insecurity
ISSUES PERTINENT TO LABOR
Issues which this observer felt merit
ed trade union attention were tax in
equalities against working people,
housing, resources use and above all,
he emphasized, greater participation
in local government.

Department of Labor will hold a public
hearing in Washington on December 5
to determine prevailing minimum
wage rates under the Walsh-Healey
Public Contract Act for the flour and

ness done by the government with

Elsewhere Eisenhower's refusal to
use the government to develop river
resources was a factor in the defeats
of Congressman Dewey Short (R-Mo)
and the Presidents golfing partner,
Dan Thornton, who ran for the Senate
in Colorado
Five days before Seaton's speech,
Associated Press reported from Wash
ingtOn that cabinet officials had start
ed reviewing the Presidents power
policies, in the light of these defeats.
On the day Seaton spoke, Evelyn
Cooper, National Hells Canyon Asso-
citation attorney said Interior was con-
sidering a federal dam on the Snake
river, downstream from Hells Canyon.
This would be a sharp policy reversal.
But Seaton, top spokesman for ad-
ministration power policy, tore such
rumors into shreds with his denuncia-
tion of comprehensive river planning
and his reliance on partnership"
NOTE: A check of the
votes for Congressman in Yellow
stone and Big Horn counties, the
two counties who have most to gain
by construction of Yellowtail Dam,
conclusively prove that Cong. Flares
turn-coat opposition to Yellowtail
and the Presidents subsequent veto
of the right-of-way funds bill for the
project were major factors in Flares
defeat November 6. Flare won the
Second District by about 1000 votes
in 1854. This year he lost it by dp-
proximately $500. In 1854 he carried
Yellowstone and Big Horn counties
with a margin of 1869 votes. This
year his total margin in the two
counties was only 1,716 votes-or
net loss of more than 1850 votes
enough to assure Sen. Leroy Ander-
son berth in the 85th Congress.

ton of industrial growth in small
cities. In some New York state urban
areas, there is program of planned
Stagnation by a combination of big
companies and real estate lobbies
