Political Approach to Tax Cutting

thought which holds that a
tax cut Is periodically neces-
Sary to prevent too great q
drain on the economy by
taxes within a given period.
The American people. on
the other hand, aren't wor-
rying today about how the
tax totals might theoretically
become too big a slice of a
prosperous economy. What
they want to see first is a
prosperous economy achieved.
They then can worry about
whether too much money is
being taken out for taxes.
The real concern today is
how to stimulate an economy
in which profits have been
squeezed by skyrocketing
wage costs that have won the
approval of an administra-
ton dependent for political
support on the votes and
cam align contributions
furnished by union labor. The
real issue isn't being faced
whether monopoly power on
the wage-coSt side is ever 60
ing to be broken up just as
monopoly power on the
management side is forbid
den by law.
To promise tax cuts "across
the board" in 1868 to indi-
viduals will spur consumer
spending and bring back
fears Of initiation. To give the
proposed tax cuts to a few
businesses next year will not
save those really in trouble
today.
The President has not
come to grips with the i'm
mediate situation. He is TAX
ing a big risk politically, too.
He may get the surprise of
his life in the November elec-
tions. 1t is customary for the
people to vote against the
party in power when an
economic recession is on -
and there are signs that the
forecast by the stock market
Of continued recession is
more likely to turn out to be
true than the optimistic
statements Of a big recovery

Thus in three States the

There is no law forbidding
such responsibility. But this
kind Of thing, carried to its
ultimate logic, would even
tually mean handing over
this country to the mercies
of a disorderly form of multi

which no responsible major

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Kennedy still
shows no awarenesS Of the
serious plight Of the Ameri-
can economy today. At his
news conference yesterday he
made no mention of the con-
tinuing demands Of labor
union leaders who seek to in
crease wage costs. Nor did he
indicate any change in the
administrations policy in
forcing a profit squeeze" by
condemning price increases
that are designed to take care
Of such labor costs. This
dilemma, however, has been
the basic cause of the stock
markets recent collapse.
Mr.. Kennedy chose instead
to regard the markets fall as
merely the natural result Of
the overpricing Of securities
and the ending of an era Of
initiation. He thinks it's all
just speculative and - like
President Hoover in 1929 -
he Is arguing that conditions
are fundamentally sound.
The President doesn't
seem to have made up his
mind Just when a general
tax cut that might be help
full to economic progress
should be made. For he
talked vaguely at his news
conference about postponing
action on such a measure
till the session Of Congress
which begins next January.
He said the bill could be
made retroactive so it would
take effect on the first of
next year. But it's difficult
to do this, as the whole Ma
ton Of taxpayers will find it
hard to estimate their taxes
while Congress is debating a
change in rates. Also, the
President has tied into the
same measure what he calls
"offsetting" tax reforms to
close "loopholeS" and cut
down loss Of tax revenue.
The President admits the net
tax reductions will not be
large. This will mean long
debate and delay.
Maybe Mr.. Kennedy
thinks that Congress, which
is to get the text of his tax
proposals at the end of this
summer, will be under such
pressure from thee people
that an extra session may
have to be called after the
congressional elections in
November to enact the bill.
But these tactics could
boom erang. The people
would be voting then on an
expectation instead of a con-
crete piece Of legislation. Is
this fair to the people?
Aren't they entitled to know
in advance what their taxes
will be for the year ahead,
and to have a chance to
voice approval or disapproval
at the polls? Practical poll
tics may dictate the answer
that it is better to keep the
people guessing and let them
hope they may get more than
they really will. To tell them
exactly how little they will
when they have
been led to expect more-is
not supposed to be a wise
strategy a few weeks before
an election.
The whole approach is po-
litical. The administration
isn't really anxious to grant
any tax cut. It doesn't &C
tually plan to let the corpora

Presidents Talk of Delaying Reduction

tion-tax rate go down very
much, If at all. The sop to
the industrial world is sup
posed to be in the form of
two tax benefits. One, which
will not be enacted by law but
by revising existing Treasury
regulations. would permit
certain industries to shorten
the period on which deprecia-
ton rates are computed. The
other would be a law giving
to certain industries an 8 per
cent investment credit. But
this applies only to new ma
chinery and equipment. It
doesn't cover the whole prob
lem of modernization which
confronts companies in the
heavy-goods industries. This
proposal has been before
Congress for many months
now. 1t has awakened little
enthusiasm and a great deal
of opposition. For it really
doesn't solve the problem of
depreciation rules which for
many years have been in
need of a general overhaul
ing.
The bandying about of
such figures as a tax credit
of $1.3 billion for new ma
chinery and a tax saving Of
$1.2 billion through the new
depreciation rules and per-
hapS another 5000 million in
various reductions Of special
taxes - such as those on
transportation-will give the
impression that a substantial
tax cut is being recommended
by the President. In an econ
omy which is supposed to
have a gross national output
estimated at somewhere be-
tween $3.50 and $565 billion
this year, these are relatively
trivial tax reductions.

about the possibility Of an So
billion surplus in the Federal
budget if the economy were
to operate at full capacity.

Precious Cliffs Of Perfume and Gold Based on Lore

The Bible relates that the first gifts the Christ Child re- ceived from the Three Wise Men were gold, frankincense and myrrh. That is the way the story is related in the Book of Matthew.
 To the modern world there is no mystery about the value of a gift of gold. Yet in ancient times, this precious metal was only possessed by kinds and very rich men. Thus, the gift was especially precious = one fit for King.
 The other gifts were rare and precious as well. However in today's world, little is known of these substances even though they are still in use.
 Since St. Matthew says that the Three Wise Men were from the east, it is assumed that the gold they brought with them for the infant Jesus came from the mines of Indian Mysore.
 Frankincense, or olibanum, is a resin obtained from the bark of trees which grow on bare rock in the mountains of southern Asia and northeast Africa. Once upon a time it was used as a medicine. Today it is principally used as incense in Catholic churches, Indian and Chinese temples.
 Myrrh is a gum resin also ob- tained from the bark of trees which grow in Africa and Ara bia. Since early times it has been used as a base for perfume and incense-and is still SO us- ed commercially today.
 Thus it is the same today as it was in Biblical times when gifts of gold or perfume are made to loved ones. The gold

away from the austerity and sombre chants of the Church and reached it's popularity and magnificence.
 But then came the Purians in the 17th Century who stern ly forbade joyous celebrations at Christmas, and the singing of carols went into decline.
 It wasn't until the 18th Cen tury before the singing of car ols again came into open public popularity. And this was only made possible through the illic- it printing and singing of car ols in the privacy of the homes of the people who loved them dearly.

In Ger many, the tree had long been a part of the Christmas festiv- ities, and when the Prince changed addresses from Ger may to Buckingham Palace, he brought his German custom of the decorated Christmas tree with him. The idea took" be- came popular in England and and was transplanted to the United States.
 Actually, the first commer- cial Christmas card is credited to an Englishman named Henry Cole in 1843.
 Cole never intended that his idea be commercialized. All he wanted to do was create mo- vel way of saying Merry Christmas" to his friends. Thus he designed card, commis- stoned a British Royal Aca- demy artist by the name of John Calcott Horsley to exc cute the work. It was a simple card depicting a typical fam fly of that time gathered to- gether at a holiday dinner.
 At the conclusion of the work, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" were added, thousand copies Autographed and later hand colored.
 He sent out his cards to his friends and little dreamed that he had created Christmas tradition. They were an imme- diate success-and have con tinued to be successful.
