Tax Reform Or Harassment?

sons in the under-$1O, 900 annual com
pensation range.
The Treasury proposals basic inten=
tion can be simply explained. 1t would
change the established method Of tax
ing these payments, to the severe detri-
ment Of the recipients. At present, a
capital gains method Of taxation is en-
ployed. The new method, as suggested
by the Treasury, would inject new and
expensive complexities. Yet, according
to the Treasury's own estimates, it
would bring in only So million in addi-
tional revenue.
A spokesman for the Council of
Profit Sharing Industries says that
adoption Of the Treasury proposals
twill discourage the continuance Of ex-
listing profit sharing plans and the es-
tablishment Of new ones" Is that con-
sistent with the avowed administration
objective of stimulating the national
economy at home, and improving our
ability to compete abroad?

in any way.
1t might be well to remember that
President Charles DeGaulle is like the
communists in one important respect.
He respects only force, considers him
self a realist. His present anti-Ameri-
can foreign policy is based on his con-
viction that we have to support him and
take his insults, and will do just that.
A stern policy, in which we expected
definite cooperation for our own coop

DeGaulle more than appeasement and

much more DeGaulle can do to US, to

Negotiations for settlement have

to dispel the fear held for time that
these valuable facilities would be to-
tai loss, though a cynic might point out
that Brazil was sufficiently motivated
to bargain by the new federal statute
which forecloses any further U. S. aid
to foreign power guilty of uncompen-
stated appropriation. Whether it was
that law or BraziPs sense of justice
which was instrumental here remains
a moot question. But to dwell on the
point now would be ignoble

Unless the United States sold France
the tankers, the efficiency of the indie

not build such tankers at the present

the French bombers the range to en-

Of course, the United States Air

1t begins to look, in number of in
stances, as if so-called "tax reform" is
being used as an attractive argument
in favor of what amounts to more tax
harassment.
An example is found in Treasury
proposals to change the rules on the
taxation of distributions from pension
and profit sharing plans.
These plans have proven to be among
the most versatile and effective Of en-
ployee relations tools. They are force
behind greater and more efficient in
dustrial production-which, certainly,
is one of this nations primary needs
in this almost savagely competitive
world. The sums owing to an individ-
ual are built up over a long period Of
time-perhaps as much as 40 years.
Most retired employees prefer to take
their accumulations in a lump sum,
rather than in installments. And it is
important to note that, according to
recent survey, more than 80 per cent
of lump sum distributions were to per-

Some of the wounds inflicted by the

properties in Brazil may now be healed.
Brazil has at last acted responsibly and
honorably to bring this about.
1t will be recalled that in the last
four years Brazilian state governments
preempted, without compensation, 1872

ing pasture land in Kansas
where grass grows which is ex-
cel1ent for feeding cattle. The
cattle raisers of Texas buy a
railroad ticket to ship their
steers to the stockyards in Kan
sas City or Chicago to
be slaughtered and sold for beef.
They find that by giving these
steers a stopover In Kansas on
their way north to be fed on
a pasture like mine for two
months the steers increase
materially in weight and are
worth much more when they get
to market.
Sometimes such pasture land
will produce oil. Your real es-
tate agent will send you a map
showing what he has to offer for
sale and indicating what the
chances are that oil might bt
found on your pasture. Pasture
land varies In price from $75
to $3.50 an acre according to
the availability and quality Of
water for the cattle and also in
accordance with the possibility
of oil. I have never heard of
anyone taking losses on such
pasture land IL 1t was purchased

TRUSTEES HAVE THEIR
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES


Many readers Of this column
have put money In the hands OF
trustees Of banks or other
trustees in favor of their chill
dren and grandchildren. These
trustees have their advangages;
they are careful, honest, and
reasonable in their charges. On
the other hand, they naturally
do not like to buy forest or pas
ture land II 1t pays no income,
as their fees depend upon the
income from the estate. There
fore, although there are times
when certain non-dividend- pay
Ing stocks are really safer than
Dow-Jones gilt-edge stocks, yet
trustees refrain from buying
them because they yield no in
come to the trustees.
The trustees fees, however,
can be so arranged that both
the principal involved and the
income received will be recog-
nized. This Is both fairer, and
often safer in the long run, for
the beneficiaries. Never hesitate
to be liberal with the trustees
upon whom your children and
grandchildren are depending.
Therefore, whether you are TAX
ing care OF your own fund or
employing a trustee, I urge you
to have some Of the money in
vested In forest or pasture land.
Next week I will discuss real
estate; but this is something
entirely different from what I
am writing about this week.

Babson Park, Mass, June 6.
We have been taught since child
hood "not to put all our eggs
in one basket. That, however,
was when our parents knew MOTH
ing about stocks and bonds, but
even then made the mistake
sometimes of putting all their
savings In one bank. Well, the
investment future is Just as un-
certain now as 1t was fifty years
ago.
FOREST LANDS
Forest lands, like all other
investments, have advantages
and disadvantages. Trees grow
during weekends and holidays
as well as any other day Of the
year. These trees have no labor
unions and never argue about
"wages". Their value depends
upon various factors, such as
the state the forest land is IN
and also how near 1t Is to trans
portation to a cutting mill.
Hence, the price varies from
$1,000 an acre to $4,000 an
acre according to the location
and the length Of time for the
growth to mature.
Cutover land with spruce or
pine trees a foot or two high
may be the best investment for
young people, II It Is properly
located. However, such trees In
the north are not ready to be
cut or sold for fifty years. Then
too, we must not forget the fire
dangers or wind hazards.

TRANSFORMERS
Foirfux Teen-Agers
Taking to Theoter

Fairfax County's YWCA has
put together an old barn, Is
stage-struck teen-agers and a
lot of enthusiasm to come UP
with a summer stock theater.
For the last week the youths
have met each afternoon at
the barn off Franconia road
near Rose Hill to talk stage
talk and plan two productions.
The idea started a month ago
when Mrs. Rena B. Monte, the
YWCA director, and several
others decided they were tired
of hearing that teen-agers
these days are getting worse
and worse. Concerned with the
lack of summer jobs for the
youths, they asked at the high
schools If anyone was interested
in a barn theater, and got a
fantastic" response.
TITS a chance for these young
people to create and not have
someone give them things all
the time" explains Mrs. Monte.
The Meadow View SWIM
ming Club donated use of the
barn, Is teen-agers turned up
at the first meetings last week,
and the barn theater was in
business.
The "Y" hired Roger C.
Bergstrom, a drama teacher at
Alexandria's Hammond High
School to counsel the young
thespians. Right now, they're
working out the script for a
satire on movies that they plan
to present at the barn on July
IL.
