up this location which had long
limits prepared this for de

and though it was later sold to

in the future by making plans that

PENALTY OR GREED

We have all heard many discussions,
continuing over lengthy period of time,
concerning the gravity of the railroad stu
alton.
This was highlighted, in black headlines,
when major railroad, the New York, New
Haven and Hartford went into bankruptcy.
1t could no longer stand the huge operating
losses it had been sustaining.
This was an extreme case-but other
railroads are in a dire predicament The
reasons for that are varied. Excessive gov
eminent regulation is one. Another is the
competition from carriers whose rights-Of-
way are the highways, airways and water
ways, and hence indirectly subsidized
Still another-and very important one
is excessive state and local taxation.
j. A. Livingston, the well known fnan-
cial writer, dealt with this in a recent col
umn. According to him, the New York Cen
trail lost 1888 million in the first five months
of this year, while paying state and local
taxes "of more than $50 million year,
more than half of which goes to New York
State whose turnpikes compete directly
with the Central for business" And the
Pennsylvania Railroad, which lost S18.3 mil
lion during those same five months, pays
some $50 million year in property taxes
The states and municipalities are greedy
for tax revenue. But there is small future
in policy of excessive taxation which, long
enough continued, will dry up the sources
of that tax revenue. This is really case of
killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
Our lawmakers, both state and federal, can
take the lions share of the credit for doing
the killing because of their failure to cor
rect destructive legislation and taxation.

THE TYRANNY OF TAXATION


The House Ways and Means Committee
has tentatively vetoed cancellation of pro-
vision of several years standing which
makes the first $50 of dividend income ex-
empt from the individual income tax, and
provides a four per cent tax credit on any
remainder of such income. 1t also has APP
proved plan for a withholding tax of 16-
2/3 per cent on dividends and interest pay
ments.
Many authorities continue to doubt the
wisdom of the withholding scheme. 1t would
inevitably involve great deal of expensive
bookkeeping and record-keeping, and would
work hardship on large numbers of peo-
pie in small income brackets. At least there
seems to be majority agreement that the
dividend exclusion and credit provisions
should be retained-and there are cogent
arguments in favor of them being increased.
The reason for this is that dividend in
come is the only form of income subject to
double federal income taxation. Profits are
first taxed at the So per cent corporation
rate, and any remainder distributed to the
owners is then taxed at the Individual in
come tax rates. ranging from a bottom of
20 per cent to high of 81 per cent. The
existing law simply provides modicum of
relief from this manifestly unjust situation.
Supporters of cancellation of the credit
have said that the law as 1t now stands is
of principle benefit to wealthy stockholders.
President Keith Funston of the New York
Stock Exchange pulled the rug from under
that argument in recent statement More
than half of all shareOwners have total an
nual income Of less than $780, and at least
3 million small-income people are relieved
of all double taxation by the $50 exclusion.
The many, not just the few, get the bene
fits. Regardless of numbers, double taxa
ton of income represents a principle that
can have but one end-injustice and OPP

Too Late to Change 1t Now

The only surprising thing about
Fairfax County's plea for a different
route for the Dulles Airport sewer line
is its repetition at this late date. County
officials long have expressed their pref
erence for route down the Occoquan
Creek valley, where it would serve
southern parts Of the county and avoid
pollution of the creek-main source of
Alexandria's water supply. But, after
weighing all considerations, Congress
decreed that the interceptor sewer
should follow the shore of the Potomac
River, where adjacent Maryland as we'll
as Virginia areas could be served and
where it could provide a safeguard
against pollution of WashingtonS water
supply. We think this plan was fully
justified. And certainly, with nearly
$500,000 already spent on preliminary
engineering work, it would be absurd
to switch routes now.
Engineer Commissioner Clarke is
right, however, in stating that even

Fighting Flyer

The Air Force has picked its
toughest "boy" to be Chief of Staff, and
this is as it should be.
When President Ktsnnedy nominated
General Curtis E. Leh1ay for this top
command he was not reaching out for
a chair-borne gener al or a military
diplomat. He was picking a do-it-
yourself flyer, whose 80 yearS-pluS in
the air service have been marked by
consistent pattern CT energy, action
and accomplishment.
The stories of General LeMayS
bruSqueneSS and toughneSS are many
and colorful. They an be documented.
But these qualities have been only
incidental to his dedicated passion for
making the Air Force a constantly
better and stronger fighting outfit.
World War II gave hdm a worthy stage
and the formation. procedures and
bombing techniqueS which contributed
so much to victory in Europe were
largely the product Of LeMay planning
and personal expert mentation. In the
vaSter area of the Pacific, he did the
same thing with. tligger planes and
their more devastating capacity for
destruction. For almost decade, from
194S to 1857, he was tIoss of the Strategic
Air Command. It Is hardly an exagger-
alton to say that when he took COM
mand he picked up the outfit and shook
it by the neck, and! in the years that
followed he drove 1T tireleSsly toward
his own concept OF what the Nation
needed to deliver "rtassive retaliation"
Since 1857, General LeMay has been
relatively calm anol non-controversial
as Vice Chief Of Staff There has been
some speculation that that would be
the end of the line flor "Old Iron Pants
not because he doesn't have what it
takes to be Number One, but because
he might rub some brass, civilian or
military, the wrong; way. Now he is
being moved up, and this is good-good

Keeping Pace

In its consideration Of new Govern
ment buildings in Southwest Washing
ton, Congress ha deferred action several
times during the last few years on the
so-called Federal Office Building No. S.
And juStifiably so. For until recently
there was no urgency as to the new
building, either as to its specific use or
as to its relation to the pace Of the
Southwest redeVelopment program.
Now this situation has changed on
both scores. 1Che purpose Of the new
structure, as cfflcially set forth, is to
relieve the pres sing offlce-space demand
facing military agencies, particularly
the Navy. AS an added incentive, the
transfer of hundreds of military en-
ployeS from the various temporary
office shackS which now deface central
Washington would permit many of
these eyesore,S to be torn down. So
many of the tempos are occupied by
military agencies that there is Scant
chance of progress in this direction, as
experience has shown, unless major new
construction takes place.
The MOST compelling reason for
action, however, is that construction Is
schedules to begin this year on the
Tenth Street 1dall, Of which office build
ing No. S will be an integral part. AS
such, the details of it's design, especially
regarding underground parking, must be
planned along with the mall itself, unless
unnecessary wastes are to occur. It
would be desirable if construction could
take place simultaneously. At the very
least, however, the two should be
planned together, and permission to do
so is all that the General Services
Administration now is seeking from the
House and Senate Public Works Com
mitteeS. We, hope that Senator Jen-
ningS Randolph and Representative
Robert E. Jones, the chairmen of the two
subcommittee in charge Of Government
buildings, wifi indorSe this project with
the promptnetss and understanding that
have marked. their handling of the pro-
gram in the past.

faith" proceeding toward the ending Of
racial discrimination in public schools.
In sense, the proposal sponsored
by Senator Bush. Connecticut Repub-
lican, seems to have been a red herring"
drawn across the path to eventual
approval of the basic legislation itself.
There was wide agreement on the
Senate floor, for example, that the
amendment would not in any case be
accepted in the House and that inclu-
sion of it probably would lead to chain
of events forecloEing enactment of any
school aid bill In the other chamber
Furthermore, even Senator Bush and
some others supporting the restriction
conceded that they still would vote
against passage Tof the bill-with or
without the amendment.
The principles of desegregation has
been established and, though painfully
in some cases, there is no doubt that
it will become n nationwide in due time
