TAX REFORM NOW

In all the talk we have heard about the
perils of the creeping tor galloping) imitation
and how to stop it, one solution cuts through
the fiscal murk like the beam of lighthouse
on a stormy night.
Smother initiation with growth"
This is the thoroughly logical and COM
pletely non-partisan recommendation of
Democratic Representative A. S. Herlong,
Jr, of Florida, and Republican Representa-
tive Howard H. Baker, of Tennessee, and
who have presented their formula in identi-
cal House bills, "to reform Federal tax rates
and methods to accord with the economics of
progress.
To put it bluntly they urge tax reform
to eliminate road blocks to business expan-
sion and job creation-and beginning nOsC.
HR 5000 and HR 3001 call for coordinated
reductions in individual and corporate in
come tax rates over five year period from
January /, 1859. The first bracket rate would
be reduced from 20 to Is per cent and the
top bracket rate from 81 per cent down to AZ
per cent with consistent compression in rates
in the intervening brackets. The So per cent
corporate income tax rate would be cue one
per cent year for five years.
The bills also provide for more realistic
depreciation rules to bring the tax write-off
of plant and equipment closer to the facts of
obsolescence, for tax-free transfer of capital
ny AulNluudlS anu IcuuCtlOli VI IdAcS Ou cS-
tates and gifts.
Capital is the source of all economic
progress declare the authors. 1T has be-
come increasingly obvious that the present
Federal tax structure stunts economic growth
since it both prohibits adequate capital &C
emulation and destroys capital once accu-
mulated. -. We can't fight imitation by keep
ing the tax brakes on economic growth"
1t should be equally obvious that more
rapid and consistent economic growth would
provide increasingly greater revenues to the
Government under the gradually declining
tax rates. Hence, the sooner we get action
on this legislation the better. AS Messfs.
Herlong and Baker have said: :" this
legislation should have priority over COM
peting claims of all other Government poll
cies and programs"
1t is high time for tax reform which will
mean "a rebirth of the American genius for
the starting and development of business.

cent bullish on the stock market.
My main reason for being 40 per
cent bullish is because / believe
that the next World War will be
between Russia and Germany
and with her allies, Germany would
finally win. Wall Street believes
that this would be the end of Com
munism for arother 40 years. AL
though the United States would be
in such war, we would not bomb
Russia unless Russia bombed us
but would be content to keep the
Germans well supplied with atomic
or hydrogen bombs and anything
else they might need. We cannot
forget Germany's hideous and bar
barious crimes under the Hitler
regime; but have the German peo-
pie ever "double-crossed" us as
have the Russians? have this
Berlin affair in mind when saying
l am 40 per cent bullish.
l am more than ever convinced,
since my recent visit to Africa, that
the above is the Berlin program.
This is why England retired grad
ually from India. And Great Britain
is now in the process of turning
seized Germany territory in Africa
over to the native tribes, with her
fingers crossed as to what the final
results will be. Charles DeGaulle
and Great Britain will be glad to
aid Germany when she strikes. Re-
publicans and Democrats in Wash
ington should stop fighting between
themselves; but watch Berlin and
trust President Eisenhower, who
knows Europe better than any of
them.

cases-wth the selection of Los Angeles as the site
of the 1860 Democratic convention. Strangely
enough, and rightly wrongly, the site chosen al
ways figures in speculation about prospective

For example, it has assumed that Adlai Steven

George Washington's
Birthday, 1853
Dear Friends:
Not this early in the year can
you look out in your yard ara find
daffodils peeping out of the ground.
but this is true this year with US.
Ours are planted on the south side
of our house and they are up
about Il OF an inch. We truly
didn't expect to see any this year,
believing that our ornery little
puppy, Duchess, uprooted them all
last fall.
We've had some sunny spring
like days lately and it has put us
all in the mood for winter to be
on its way. In December we nail
ed bird feeder to the top of our
patio fence and it has been such
fun watching them come for their
seeds. AS long as we've been in
the Air Force (eight years. we
have never lived in a developed
area. We've always moved into a
brand new apartment. duplex, or
rented house and twice have owned
our home but always we've lived
without TREES. You don't realize
how much you miss full grown
trees until you're without them
that long. We had to induce birds
to visit us someway and the bird
feeder has done the trick.
/ miss the scenery of the east
so much. Kansas is not colorful
state like our Delaware. Yester-
day I went to see the movie "The
Hanging Tree" and above all |
enjoyed seeing the woods, the wild
flowers and the mountain side.

Out in California where the state has shifted
strongly into the Democratic column a result OF
last falls elections the Democratic party will re-
inforce its chances of capturing huge block OF
electoral votes by staging the convention in Los
Angeles in 1860. There is also the possibility that
a California Democrat will wind up the ticket
in 1860
1t is argued, however, that Stevenson Johnson,
Edmund Brown (of California; and Senator Symlng~
ton of Missouri, would prefer western site to an
eastern one On the other hand it is said that Sen
ator Kennedy, Governor Meyner (of New Jersey
and other Fasteners would be perhaps, in more
advantageous position at eastern site.

ARE HIGHWAY FATALITIES
AVOIDABLE?

You can pick up a newspaper anywhere
in the United States, any day in the week,
and you will read about fatal highway acci-
dents. The accidents you read about will be
mostly local. unless the victims are of wide
Importance and even the local deaths will
get small space unless the people are espe-
cially prominent.
There was time, not so long ago, when
the killing of pedestrian by an automobile
was news. The crash of two speeding auto
mobiles, involving the death of two or three
persons, got the headlines. Today, however,
the public takes the highway fatalities as
matter of course, assumes that they are, in
part, unavoidable and, in almost every in
stance acquiesces in the verdict that nobody
is especially to blame.
In recent study of almost THOUSAND
drivers involved in fatal highway accidents,
highway officials found that only twenty
eight served time in jail and only ninety-five
paid fines. More than eighty-six per cent of
the drivers were not penalized by the courts
in any way.
study of the case histories creates the
impression that the penalties imposed by the
courts are seldom in reasonable proportion"
to the offenses, but the Bureau does not find
fault with the courts, saying that the failure
to infiict proper punishment is due to the diff
ficulty of obtaining evidence admissible to
court under the rules of evidence sufficient
to convict and, also perhaps, to the lack of a
criminal code designed to fit present-day
mOtor-vehicle accident cases.
In regard to many of the highway fatali-
ties, the public takes the view that they are
the result of the hazards of the road. While
there is basis for such a conclusion, in re-
gard to some accidents, the fact is that many
are caused by failure to follow regulations
set up for highway safety. The careful SUI
r,ovxiciou of thQ issuance of drivers licenses
rigid inspection and strict regulation of mo-
tor vehicles on the highways, and vigorous
enforcement of highway regulations will do
much 70 cut down the death toll on our high
ways.
The time to avoid many fatal accidents
is before they occur. Afterwards, it is too
late to do the victims any good.

After all the years of talk organization and en-

During World War II the question was often

WHITE HOUSE GUESTS

President Eisenhower has been criti
cised for what some observers believe to be
an increasing tendency to pick his persona
friends from the wealthy. While the CUES
list at White House dinners is not given out,
the names that have gotten into print are
chiefly of this group.
Any president, like anyone else, is at lib
erty to choose his friends. If Mr.. Eisenhowe,
resembles another military predecessor, Gen
eral Grant, in admiration of successful bus
mess men, he reveals trait possessed by
many Americans. 1t may, however, be OF
more than personal concern if, by taking his
intimates from one piece of cloth, he viii
end by getting only one side of today's issues.
The wisest practice was that of President
Theodore Roosevelt, who had an Unsuitable
curiosity about all sorts of human types and
all fields of knowledge. At his White House
table were to be found business men, cow
boys, professors, scientists, authors and per-
sons involved in almost every human activ-
it..
