Church Exemptions

Your January 5 account Of
the Episcopal clergymen who
thought churches should be
taxed gave me an idea.
I wonder If some tax ex-
pert could work out q con-
Stitutional tax on churches,
businesses, schools and COL
leges. ct al, whereby exemp-
tionS could be given for
each non-white communicate
member, employe, or student
(similar to dependent exemp-
tions on our income tax.
When the ratio Of white
to non-white reached. say,
1925, the above institutions
or organizations would au-
tomatically become exempt
from the tax.
Let those who wish to re-
main segregated pay for the
privilege. I feel sure that
enough will fall. in line to
disprove the old fallacy that
the color Of ones skin is in
some way the measure Of
that individual.
I am not in favor Of
legislation compelling the
taking In, or employment Of.
minority groups regardless Of
their abilities, nor am I in
favor Of minority groups in
sisting on anything other
than equal opportunity. In
other words, I will give any
one a break II I think he
deserves 1t, but he must be
able to produce after he gets
that break. I shouldn't be
bound by legislation to keep
him on II he doesn't.
1t seems TO me that a tax
such as l have outlined above
would be a simple way Of
insuring that minority groups
get the breaks, and at the
same time guarantee the in
stitution, organization and
others the right Of choice.

Political Polls

The Sunday Star of jan
uary 8 reported a new pub
lie opinion poll conducted in
Virginia's Tenth District for
Augustus c. johnson to iden-
tify the mistakes he made
which caused his loss last
November to Congressman
Broyhill. Mr.. Johnson's ad-
mission that because of this
new poll he will change his
tactics when he runs in 1864
in the interest, as he puts
1t, Of political expediency"
is both amusing and tragic.
It is amusing TO see some
one seeking political office
trying so hard to reduce the
winning OF an election to a
scientific formula. First Mr..
johnson hired a high-priced
professional pollster TO take
a poll which. we are told.
showed Mr.. Broyhill could be
beaten. Then, after being de-
feated by Mr.. Broyhill's big
gest victory margin in an off
year election, Mr.. johnson
re-hired the pollster to make
another survey TO find out
what went wrong with the
first one This apparent OBJ
session with reducing public
opinion TO abstract formulas
must be a manifestation OF
Mr.. Johnson's training as a
mathematician!
II is tragic TO see a man
seeking public office place
such slavish reliance on polls
to determine what the people
want, Such a person is de-
void OF conviction. To him
the poll OF the moment reigns
supreme. He is afraid 10
speak out on issues without
first taking a poll for he
fears 10 say or do anything
which a substantial number
OF voters might not like. He
is a puppet dangling on the
string Of political expediency.
He lacks the moral courage
and ability TO apply In
dependent judgment to issues
facing the electorate.

A BOOK FOR TODAY
An Economist Dedicated to Mankind
By DONALD MIMI

volved, Woytinsky began
with subjective predictions
about the political climate of
the postwar years. This is the
mark of the truly great tech
nician. He not only recog-
nizes the boundaries Of his
discipline but is sensitive to
development outside those
boundaries that will affect
what happens within them.
And If this sensitivity in
wolves non-empirical percep-
tions, so be it.
BUT THE READER will
find out about - or rather
guess at - Woytinsky's use
of such perceptions almost
exclusively by reading be-
tween the lines. Perhaps this
is the measure of the differ
ence between him and his ad-
mirerS.
Woytinsky was a humani-
tartan. His contributions to
the techniques Of estimating
unemployment insurance
costs were enormous, but he
never viewed the problem as
essentially or exclusively
technical. There is no for
mula," he wrote. that shows
the optimum level Of the un-
employment-insurance funds
and how they should be used
to serve most effectively the
goals Of social policy and
general welfare"
Virtually all the contribu-
tors to 80 Much Alive" en-
phasize the depth and pro-
fundity of Woytinsky's feel
ing for the good Of the hui
man race and his determine
ton to use his vast skills in
the service of us all. 80

the layman of explaining

D. c. Revenue Sources

Instead Of enacting pro-
posals which would make it
attractive for former District
residents and other subur-
baniteS to move into the
District Of Columbia, the
officials and some members
of Congress are thinking in
terms Of measures which
would result in more District
residents fleeing into nearby
Maryland and Virginia. Re-
Gently the Commissioners
announced a series of pro-
posed increases in realty
and income taxes for fiscal
1864. This announcement
came shortly after I had re-
ceived a notice from the
D. C. finance office that
beginning July l, 1868, the
assessment on the land
where my home is located
will be doubled.
1t also was announced re-
Gently that the new FBI
building will oust 100
merchants from the site it
will occupy. What will happen
to these District taxpayers
and where will they go-to
the suburbs? This brings to
mind those merchants and
residents on Capitol Hill
whose property was taken by
the Federal Government to
build a memorial or an an
mex to the Congressional
Library. Many of those tax
paying residents were forced
to flee to the suburbs; many
merchants were forced to
close their businesses COM
pletely. Washington, in it's
financial plight, needs more
taX-paying merchants and
residents - not more me-
MORALS and Government
buildings taking up blocks of
revenue-producing land.
The faireSt solution to
raise more revenue for the
District would be to impose
a so-called working tax on
all suburbanites who earn
their livelihood in Washing
ton. Other cities in the
United States have such an
assessment on non-reSidents.
Also, 1t is high time that the
Federal Government should
bear its fair share of the
cost Of running the Nations
Capital. The Federal Gov
ernment occupies almost As
per cent of the land in Wash
ington, yet its annual Fed
eral payment to the city is a
mere drop in the bucket
less than Is per cent Of the
total budget. An additional 9
per cent Of tax-exempt land
is occupied by foreign gov
ernments.

so MUCH ALIVE, The Life
and Work Of vladimir S.
WOytinsky, edited by Emma
S. Woytinsky. Frontispiece
portrait, charts, graphs,
272 PIP. vanguard Press,
So
vladimir Woytinsky's
posthumously published au-
photography, stormy Pas
sage" was one of - perhaps
the - most interesting work
Of the genre to appear in
1861. Woytinsky told his
readers relatively little of his
interior life and not much
more about his career as one
Of the worlds foremost econ
omists and a pioneer econom-
ic statistician.
But he told much about
his political life, from his
participation in the Russian
Revolution Of 1905, to his
part in the overthrow Of the
Car and his subsequent op-
position to Lenin, to his
years in his last adopted
home, the United States.
80 Much Alive" its sub
title Notwithstanding, has
relatively little to do with
his life. but a great deal to
do with his professional ac-
complishments. 1t consists Of
a series of essays, some mere
ly brief tributes, others COM
paratively complex economic
expositions, contributed by a
number Of Woytinsky's col
leagues and by his wife. Most
of the contributors are econ
omists. and taken in sum
the essays offer a layman's
perspective Of this mans as
tonishing achievements.
WOYTINSKY, WHO WAS
BORN in 1885 in st. Peters,
burg and died in Washing
ton in 1860, began his first
book on economics when he
was II years old. 1t was pub
lished in 1906 with an intro
duction by one of Russia's
most distinguished econo-
miStS.
He came to world atten-
ton with the publication in
1925 Of the German language
edition Of the first volume of
an enormous statistical COM
pendium. Die Welt in Zah-
len" "The World in Fig
ures~.
Statistics and mathemat-
les we're one OF his special
fields. and he was a pioneer
in the use OF mathematical
models In the study Of eco
Monies. At the same time, he
was aware Of the limitations
Of these models, and indeed
II is possible TO say that un-
der certain conditions he dis
tinctly mistrusted them.
George Garvey, adviser 10
the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, tells us that Woy-
tinsky was zone OF the few
United States economists who
had correctly gagged the
forces OF expansion generat-
ed by the (World) war CID
effort and their significance
for the road that the post
war United States economy
was TO take. &c. He was not
alone In offering an alter
native 10 the gloomy fore
casts Cof depression, but he
was the only one 10 present
publicly a well-arRued and
closely documented case for
optimism"
Mr.. Garvey's explanation
Of Woytinsky's success is
curious. II implies. but does
not say. that for all the
skilled economic analysis in

under the heading of Crime and Punishment Chapter Q"
states:
"Ten days after he was shot by a homicidal band Of es-
capped convicts, Mr.. Harold Cooper of st. Croix died of two
gunshot wounds. as
Five days before his death, MI. Otis Felix, Commissioner
Of Public Safety, issued this public statement: W. have no
apology to make for our department" He went further along
this unbelievable road, sayinb: Tt is the opinion of the Com
missioner Of Public Safety that the men Of this department
should be highly commended by the entire community in
stead of being ridiculed'
1.-THE Chamber is not inclined to ridicule. We are pro-
foundry concerned over Public Safety, and we make bold to
disagree with the Commissioner that there should be high
commentator. Let us quietly cite the record:
Last Spring, ST, Croix experienced a wave Of lawlessness,
culnainateing in the road-block shoot EN- up of Mr.. jobs Ras
mussen.
Then, the Chamber sent an urgent cable to Governor
Paiewonsky, appealing for better police protection. The Gov
ernors did not reply.
Soon after, a group of convicts escaped from Frederiksted
Fort. They terrorized the island, and inflicted a ferocious
beating upon Mr.. Don SCHNEIDER. subsequently,, the gang
was r~ecaptured. s
AT that very time. the Chamber had Mr., Felix as its
guest speaker at its monthly meeting. MI. Felix said
then that he was authorized by the Governor to institute a
top to bottom reorganization Of the department Notably. the
Chamber membership leaned over backward to support Mr..
Felix at that time. and to avoid criticism.
Since then, we have welcomed the appointments of Mr..
