NATeunal REPRESENTATIVES - Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, W Alaska Newspapers, 1411 THE RESULTS SPEAK Various polls of public opinion have shown a steadily increasing popular approval of the Taft-Hart- ley law. Part of this swing, of course, is merely re- action” from the superheated attacks made on the new act by union leaders at the outset. They persuaded great many people notably union members and friends of unions—that the Taft-Harley enactment was "“a slave labor aet.” ‘Theé ridiculousness of this all ap- parent as time went on ‘afd union members found they had lost no basic rights, that their unions still were functioning and that, on the whole, industrial relations had improved Then, too, the act has proved itself The general public, after years of “being in the middle” on every industrial dispute and painfully accustomed to having its interests ignored every time anybody wanted an, thing, has appreciated the blessed relief from in terminable strikes, secondary boycotts, dragooning of labor The other day we saw a little illustrated booklet which summarized just what the Taft-Harley law has done, and what differences it has effected in employer- employee relationships. Very, very few read an act. If they are able to wade through the legislative terminology they may not be able to grasp ite implications and actual effect. Booklets such as the one we saw therefore are immensely helpful in promoting better understanding of the new labor code. In the long run, of course, the general public will gauge the worth of the act by its practical results And it is on the basis of concrete results that the Taft-Harley Act is mcreuslng steadily in popularity. gation became Tnes 'Wusl Be Cut 1thk-8(‘!l News) Historical records show that no nation can long e¢ndure and be prosperous and free, as high as 25 per cent of the national income. In view of this, let’s examine the tax take in Am- erica today. As of the present time, our Federal, State and local governmtnts are collecting around 56 billion dollars annuallv in taxes of all kinds, or ap- i the secret me wamlng,on fish.

Now, in the third year of peace, our Federal Government is collecting taxes in an amount about four times as high as the taxes collectcd by all our State and local government that for fiscal 1947 close to 45 billion dol a h around 11 billion dollars prior to the war PFederal tax rates and collections are holding uy stubbornly. A Presidential veto frustrated the 80th | Congress in its attempt to effect some remedy. There | seems to be little hope of reducing State and local | government taxes for the next few years, because of | tha extracrdinary population growth during the pr nd the resultant need for many new imyg ments ‘and lities, such as roads, schools, sewers water supp We must look to the Federal Go ernment for any substantial tax reduction. Today the Federal Government is collecting 36 per cent on incomes of $200,000 or over; 50.35 per cent on incomes as low as $18,000. These rates must be cut at least 25 per cent if we are to encourage the creation of venture capital, and the maximum pro- duction of goods, and are to maintain our Free Enter prise Svstem business has far less than a 50 per cent succeed; and that of established business d year out, ‘The aforegoing shows that the cards definite are “stacked” against both individual enterprisers corporatons.

Cux will be reduced to the level of those countries of the which we are now trying to support and revivify at our further expense. Though I am not one of the poor unfortunates in the high income brackets, I definitely have a selfish interest in advocating that taxes on high incomes be greatly reduced. I have no desire to live in a slave state, and that is exactly the goal to which the United States is heading if a halt is not made to reckless extravagant Federal Government spending. At this session of Congress, another tax reduction bill will be introduced and passed. Let's hope that the President, in the time that will have elapsed since his veto of the last tax relief bill, will have gained the wisdom to O. K. this one. None Too Snon (Cincinnati Enquumr The announcement that the Department of Jus- tice has tightened its control over aliens at present in the United States on temporary visitor permits sounds sensible. There has been altogether too much abuse of the privileges afforded by such permits: We observed editorially last week that the De- partment of Justice, which numbers among its other functions that of being responsible for visitors to our shores, does not seem to be getting the full cooperation of the State Department, which issues the visas. That is to say, our consular officers abroad are authorized by law to admit certain categories of individuals to which the Department of Justice can, and often does, object. We wondered therefore, why this department did not exercise some contrcl at the source. Our authorities overseas appear (o be unable to discriminate fully between applicants for visitors’ visas who have legitimate reasons for visiting this country and those who have not. Anyvone who watches a ship from a continental European port unload its visitors cannot fail to notice their general resemblance to the shady characters to be seen in the capitals of Europe conducting their shoddy black market transactions. Then there are the propagandists and discredited poli- ticians who can always find sponsors incapable of exercising their intelligence. The Department of Justice s clamp down.
