Government Pamphlets
Symbol of Tax Waste

which big brothers and sisters
down in Washington will do the
thinking for everybody, includ-
ing the thought that it's unwise
to buy a dishpan that is too
large for the sink.
Triply Expensive
Government publishing costs
taxpayers in three ways, the
least of which is the cost of
printing, partly set off by
charges. The salaries of the
experts gathering and writing
material are substantial and
Government competition with
private publishers reduces their
profits and hence tax collections.
Government publications some-
times go off in different direc-
tons. For instance, there's
Getting Work Done with Fewer
People" prepared for Govern
ment supervisors but offered to
the public. This may suggest
the Government is trying to
create unemployment. But there
are also pamphlets on THE Way
to a Job in Government" Ca
.reer Service Opportunities in the
United States Department of
Agriculture" Working for the
United States of America" and
How to Get and Hold the Right
job" If all that fails there is
still "Some Questions and An
swers on Where and How to Buy
a Farm"
There's a booklet on how to
tailor a woman's suit at home
and. lest tailors and department
stores protest, there's another on
how to shop for one.
There's also a ascent item on
I"Our American Government -
What Is It?-How Does 1t Func-
tion?' Partly by printing books

Tax BORROWING
Shows Little
Change Here

Increased borrowing for tax
purposes. which seems to have
been experienced in other cities,
apparently has not been felt
here to any extent. a survey
among Washington banks in
dicated today.
Leading Washington bankers
covered by the survey reported
tax borrowing this year ranged
from about the same as a year
ago to very slightly higher.
Most of the reported increases
were among professional people,
especially lawyers and doctors.
Bankers emphasized that
Washington does not have large
industrial corporations with wide
fluctuations in taxes. The
larger Washington companies
with highly stable incomes pro-
vide ahead for taxes and gen.
orally do not face any sudden
or unexpected tax liabilities,
they said.
Salaried persons, subject to
withholding taxes, do not do
much borrowing either, they re-
ported.

One way to cut the budget
would be to appropriate less for
printing Government pamphlets
and books.
We have that on the author
ity of President Eisenhower.
In the 1852 campaign, he read
from one of these pamphlets on
Tools for Food Preparation and
Dishwashing," that "dishpans
should be large enough to hold
the dishes but not too large for
the sink" He added that such
things "are symbol of the
shameful wasting of tax funds
that is going on in our Govern
ment."
The flow OF pamphlets and
books continues undated. Re-
cent publications include
Shrimp Tips from New Or
leans" at Is cents. and Semi
mole Music" at 81. And the
pamphlet on food preparation
and dishwashing keeps rolling
along. wasting taxpayers
money.
Congress to Blame
In fairness to the President,
Congress is largely responsible
for the flow of printed Govern
ment literature. Some of it is
printed at the direction of Con-
gresS itself, and Congress pro-
vides the money for all of it.
Considerable amounts of the
literary flow are vitality impor-
tant. such as copies and inter-
probation of laws and rulings,
directories of Government pu-
reaus and personnel, publiciz-
ing of Government statistics and
the printing of material that
could be gathered only by the
Government.
But many things published
seem unnecessary: some appear
to compete with private enter
lprises; some seem part of pro-
gram of big brotherism" ir

compared the third week before
Easter with the first week after
Easter last year.
While most merchants we're
unwilling to discuss individual
store results. it was learned that
comparisons with a year ago
varied widely. ranging from a
gain of as much as is per cent
for one large organization to
sales declines in others.
Baltimore area sales jumped
80 per cent above year ago
and downtown Baltimore sales
were up IL per cent. Sales for
the entire Fifth Reserve District
were IL per cent above a year
ago in the week.
Current Week Expected
To Bring Larger Gain
Reasons for the relatively
poor showing here were hard
to find. The current week ending
tomorrow should show a larger
gain. Ordinarily the week be-
fore Palm Sunday brings the
peak of Easter sales and this
will be compared with the Sec
ond week after Easter last year
Washington area department
store sales in the week ended
April 6 were up 8 per cent from
the previous week, while the
downtown portion was 8 per cent
higher.
In four weeks ended the same
date, area sales were down
per cent from a year ago, while
downtown sales were off 8 per
cent. For the year to date,
Washington area sales were

town portion was off 7 per

Baltimore area sales in the
four weeks were up 6 per cent
and for the year to date were

downtown sales were off 6 per

Fifth District sales in four weeks

One delegate to the association
prophesized that the loss of any
revenue by the county through
ia tax differential would prompt
the commissioners to raise the
present tax rate of $2.15 per
S100 assessed valuation, reported
to be already highest in the
State.
But another member quickly
replied that the county heads
are going to be forced to raise
the tax rate anyway to meet
school construction demands. He
said the tax differential would

to either incorporate or become
annexed to existing municipal
tiles.
Mayor Lawrence A. Yates Of
Cheverly reported State Senator
H. Winship Wheatley, Democrat
of Prince Georges, was unim-
pressed with the associations
complaint that town views too
often are ignored in decisions
made on coming Redistribution
cases within town boundaries.
The Mayor said the Senator
made the observation after read
ing the associations report that
the County Commissioners and
municipalities affected agreed in
81 per cent of coming decisions
in 1851. and in 83 per cent Of the
cases in 1856.
