cost of equipment, machinery and
buildings as they are wearing out,
without taxing them on the funds
set aside for replacement. Now,
this concept is somewhat compli-
Gated, but it is expressed very
simply in the fact that there is d
stated life for given piece OF
business property, machine, a
building, or a retail fixture that
is used in the business. The stated
life, that is, the number of years
of life expectancy, will govern the
percentage of cost that is written
off, or deprecated, each year
The reason we have needed re-
form of our depreciation practices
is that the old tables which have
been used by the Treasury De-
partment for a good many years
have become completely unreal
istic They have been based on
business practices of years by, and
they have not reflected the very
quick pace of economic and technO-
logical changes which have char
acterizeG every form of American
Business. Farming is good eX-
ample. Years ago man might
have had only one piece of major
machinery on his farm, a tractor,
and that would have lasted him
many, many years with good care
and maintenance. Today a farmer
not only has many kinds of equip
ment but it becomes obsolete very
quickly. A new kind of hay baler
may be introduced which saves
labor or bales hay faster than the
farmers present machine. In such
cases the time within which any
given piece of machinery may be-
come obsolete is shorter and the
depreciation rate should be greater
We nave accomplished this re-
suit to some degree by the action
of the government this week
hope that Secretary of the Treas
ury Dillon is right when he says
that the new guidclines and pro-
cedures for determining deprecia-
ton on machinery and equipment
used by American business con-
stitutes a fundamental reform in
the tax treatment of depreciation
which will provide major stim-
ulus to economic growth.
The Republican., 1962-07-19

Federal Government would at
tempt to regulate the salary of
every business firm which re-
ceives a Federal contract.
AS we are all aware, the Gov
ernment has attempted to regulate
income through the graduated in
come tax, and it could also re-
duce to more or less common
denomination the salaries of en-
ployees in thousands of companies
If it pursues to a logical end the
above policy outlined by Mr.. Bell.
Because the Federal Govern
ment operates in almost every
metropolis and hamlet of the land
there are very few areas of our
economy which are not touched
by Washington. For example, the
Government owns S122 billion of
military weapons, equipment and
supplies; it has SIS billion of farm
commodities and stockpiled strd-
tegic materials; it owns about 7G8
million acres of land Il out of
every 3 acres in the country; and
it owns 421 1850 buildings with
nearly 25 billion square feet OF
floor space in the United States.
And yet, why do we have SUCH
a big Government? Maurice STAINS.
one of the nations outstanding
economists, has stated: The more
we ask Government to take over
our problems and with them a
larger share of our incomes to fl
nance their handling. the more the
Government will grow. And the
more it grows and taxes climb, the
less freedom of choice will re-
main for us in our personal and
community affairs"

Big Government: Whose Fault?

O'9 SNhO9O dAiAs
More alarming proof has recent
ly come to light which vindicate5
the real concern of many of us
that the Federal Government has
attained awesome power over the
nations economy-and is seeking
increased controls. The latest rev.
elation occurred when Budget
Director David Bell declared dur
ing Congressional hearing that
the Administration is studying ways
to put ceilings on the salaries paid
top executives and experts of de-
fense firms which do business
with the Federal Government
Mr.. Bell suggested that some
private research and development
salaries above S25,000 would be
controlled through an administra-
tive order from the Government
or those companies which refused
to comply with the order would
be denied contracts. The Budget
Director conceded that many de-
fense and space firms would have
no alternative but to accept the
salary scales or fold up shop"
In other words, the Administra-
ton appears to be annoyed be-
cause certain executives, in its
opinion, are making too much
money and feels that it is the
duty of the Government to control
these wages. One possible exten-
sion of this policy is that the
