Governor Dewey of New York, with considerable | State and ! support, favors a gradual segregation of Federal taxes which would give the Federal govern- ment exclusive right to levy income taxes and speci- | fied excise taxes, but the State governments would have exclusive rights to levy other excise taxes. For many years, tax experts have been urging reforms in our system which would eliminate such Feedral-State conflicts or overlapping. In the search for more tax money, too often both governments tap the same sources. Taxes by the Federal already are the highest they some in Alaska urge adoption Territorial income tax. Dewey suggests government on incomes have ever been, yet of an overlapping the Federal that government withdraw from the field of taxing alcoholic beverages, | In| inheritances, gasoline, luxuries and amusements return the States would abandon the personal and corporate income field to the Federal government Certainly something should be done to attempt to eliminate the evils of the existing uncoordinated nijce increases (for example, coal and electrical Was passe tax systems. HIGH COMPLIMENT TO “CAP” General Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff, paid a high compliment and a deserved one to one of Alaska’s builders when he paused during a speech at Fair- banks on his inspection of Alaska military posts to pay tribute to Captain Austin E. Lathrop. General Ike described Lathrop as representative of a man who “had faith in an idea and a place.” “Alaskans are enjoying many conveniences today which they would not now enjoy if he had not been living for the future,” Eisenhower stated. If all of the men who made good in Alaska had the faith in the Territory which Cap Lathrop has expressed in his investments for the future, Alaska's It Happened in Georgia (Washington Post) Mass jail breaks occur in all parts of the country and convicts trying to escape are often killed or wounded. But the attempted escape of 27 Negro coni- victs from a prison near Brunswick, resulting in the death or wounding of 13 Negroes cannot be dis- | missed as just another planned escape followed by swift retribution. In the first place it happened in a State that has acquired an unenviable reputation for mistreatment of its prison population—a reputation that Georgia has Leen trying to live down by im- |4 proving her penal institutions., There are certain | features of his particular case, moreover, indicating | that it was not an ordinary jail break, but a panicky stampede of prisoners facing punishment for allegedly | refusing to work cn a road job. Whether the warden was intoxicated, whether the guards opened fire with | intent to kill are questions that call for answers, | Clearly a searching impartial probe is required to determine the original causes of the cutbreak and place responsibility for its tragic outcome A coroner’s investigation of the shootings at which five members of the local chanter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were present ha ready been held and a grand jury | investigation is scheduled to begin soon. Here proof, if proof were needed, that Negroes, even thcse iwho are social outcasts, are no longer without strong defenders to see that their rights are respected in a State where racial prejudices are strong and the political machinery for maintenance of law and order conspicuously defective. Progress toward the goal of equal justice under | the law is slow, but it does appear that progress is | being made. Striking evidence of public awareness of the problem is afforded by the widespread publicity given to these Georgia shootings and the insistence upon a thoroughgoing investigation. When the facts | are known, Georgia will be answerable to an aroused public demand for justice on the basis of those findings regardless of where the onus may fall Wages and Prices is (New York Times) On many occasions in the past, high Administra- | tion officials have recommended wage increases while insisting that no price changes should take place. It has often appeared that they believed that such wage increases could be completely insulated from the price structure. In his Midyear Economic Report, | however, President Truman admits that the recent | wage increases have affected the price level. He points{ |out: With the wage adjustments already made | and those still needed in special wage areas, it follows that the patterns of workable price relations ultimately arrived at will be on a somewhat higher price level than would other- wise have come about. | | The President also suggests that wage increases should not be “made on a basis which forces price increases or PREVENTS PRICE REDUCTIONS needed to assure sale of increasing supplies.” (Our capitals.) | While recent wage increases have necessitated some equipment), in most instances they have been ab- sorbed within the prevailing price structure . The net | effect has been to prevent price reductions which | otherwise would have been possible. Higher wages, | therefore, have meant higher prices despite the many reassurances to the contrary. There is no fixed relationship between wages and prices. But a major upward adjustment in the | wage structure such as we have witnessed since 1939 ,mue: necessarily have a permanent impact upon the price level. These wage increases have meant sub- stantial higher unit labor costs because productivity | has increased much less rapidly and in some instances | has actually declined. At the same time, they have meant substantially higher consumer incomes, which | have made D ble the sale of goods and services at the higher prices required to cover higher costs. This | substantial increase in wage rates represents one of the important reasons why a return to the pre-war | settled as to Indian rights. ° —~AUGUST 12 L] Vivian Dubnick Pearl Peterson Harry D.
