Alaska Newspapers, 1411 GOOD TAX SUGGESTIONS The national tax conference of the Associated State Chambers of Commerce has approached the tax problem of the nation in a sensible and realistic way Realizing full well the necessity for increased tax payments in order to maintain a solvent state, the conference anncunced itself as favoring such a move but further advocated the immediate “elimination of every unnecessary government expense.” The conference does not spare industry taxation proposals. It declares for “the highest pos- sible taxes for business, industry and the people as a whole,” but goes on, wisely to say that such taxation should be “consistent with the preservation of enter- nrise in a strong and healthy condition” to meet the tax burden of the future which, naturally enough, will continue to be great. The maintenance of the morale of the people also must be considered, the chambers declare, indicating that a too-depressing tax load would not be sound economy It is most significant to know- that this group warns against any tax group porgram which is de- signed, not for the raising of revenue, but for the centering of control in Washington. The recommen- dations “favor the elimination of every tax bill and of any and all provisions therein, aimed not for government revenue but for control of business and individuals.” Washinglon |answer: saying: Mr, Go-Round e (Continued trom rage Une) the future.” He is_what Louey Howt: was to Franklin Roosevelt, and if his young protege makes it this week, to Paul | impression So sensible a consideration of this most important national problem will do much toward bringing about a solution which, while it will not be easy to accom- plish, will preserve the solvency and the economy of of America. il Service Reform Ci (Washington Post) The Civil Service Commission’s self-discipline in response to criticism is a healthy portent. It evidences within the commission an honest devotion to the principles of fair play and an awareness that past procedures have proved seriously defective. So many miscarriages of justice had grown out of the com- mission’s investigative practices, indeed, that reform was vitally needed. It has now been announced that there will be some pérsonnel changes in the investi- gations division and that a new Loyalty Rating Board will be established to pass upon the cases of job applicants charged with disloyalty. The equity and effectiveness of the new system will depend very largely upon the character and wisdom of the Loyalty Rating Board. If the members of the board feel that derogatory information con- cerning an applicant is of such a character as to reflect seriously on his loyalty, they will prepare a detailed summary of it and present it to him in, Hoover Republican Senators, talking with | nominate , got the distinct | fifth that he was slated be Secretary of State in the Dewey first show of hands. Cabinet, but the Governor’s friends in Hoover last winter, writing. The applicant will be allowed to reply in writing and also, if he chooses, to appear before the board, with or without counsel, and to request persons to testify in his behalf. Beyond this there will be the right, which already exi of appeal to the com- mission’s Board of Appeals and Review. This revised procedure fails to meet one important demand made by certain critics of the CSC: the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses from whom investigators secured injurious testimony. As we have said before, we do not consider it administratively feasible to do this. Obviously, however, the denial of this right, fundamental to all trial procedures, imposes on the commission—and in particular, under the new arrdngement, upon the Loyalty Rating Board -an obligation to take special care in safeguarding | 'the rights of accused persons. function, in our judgment, should be to throw right into the trash basket all of the hea gossipy al- legations brought to it by investigators in lieu of real evidence. This will produce two beneficial results: it will force the investigators to carry on their work more carefully and conscientiously; and it will curtail the groundless accusation of wholly innocent persons in which the CSC has too often carelessly engaged. Only in very rare instances should it be necessary for a case to go beyond the Loyalty Rating Board. It is an obvious defect of the revised CSC pro- cedure that the new board will not consider charges of immorality as well as of disloyalty. These are no less liable to be made out of malice or bigotry and no less likely to be blown up into spurious significance by callow or narrow-minded investigators. Immorality is, in any case, a charge exceedingly difficult to define and one best ignored entirely by the Civil Service Commission save when supporting evidence is so gross and flagrant, as to involve an open public scandal. Obviously, when any job applicait is found guilty of this charge by the Federal Government as an em- ployer, his reputation is severely injured. In these cases, and in cases involving loyalty to the United States, the Government must guard the rights of individuals with the utmost care against prejudice, is a fine old for Two Shetland ponie: Republican conventions their ballot * to and Landon all made it on 1864 * * * The board’s prime' candidate by the i 7 + Coolidge, Hoover ket prices on large quantities in the Chicago * So did Lincoln 8 Willkie’s nomination Are eating as well as ever this year Lockwood will go a large share of | the credit. “Destiny,” says Lock wood, “waits on no man,” explain- | ing the necessity for Dewey to run now. “By 1948, an Eisenhower will come out of the war.
