During 1920-21 LaGuardia, as a member of the city administration, did a little juggling with taxpayers’ funds on his own account. La- Guardia ran up a bill on telegrams of a personal and political character amounting ot $848.70. It was dis- covered later that payment for this private bill was charged up to the city. Comptroller Craig, who was far from friendly with LaGuardia, distlosed this incident to fellow poli- ticlans on January 9, 1921. This disclosure sent LaGuardia into a rage. He set up a howl that Craig had acted out of spite and that he had not really intended to make the | SOCIALIST PARTY ENDORSES THE TAMMANY TAX PROGRAM BY MILTON HOWARD 4 baad yearly water bill in New York is $25,000,000. That means that every family in New York City pays $10 every year for water. They pay it either directly in taxes, or indi- rectly through rents. And since this is a capitalist democracy where everybody shares taxes “equally,” the millionaire Wall Street banker on Park Avenue with a duplex apartment of 18 rooms pays no more nor less than the family of a jobless worker paying $8 a week, perhaps, for some rat-ridden hole in a tenement. Now, under the new Untermeyer Tammany tax program a 50 per cent increase in the water rate will go into effect. That means a $12,000,000 increase in the rent bill of the hun- dreds of workers’ families, since it is a foregone conclusion that the landlords will simply pass the in- creased water rate along to the tenants. Higher rents—and the beginning of more taxes on the workers—that’s what the Untermayer tax program means. * 6 «6 The Socialist candidate for Mayor, Aug : vation | as its special counsel in a case against ment. shes “ oo ye geet the Citizens Water Supply Company | reactionary and the more experi-| 5° wowtown. | enced leaders looked upon the can-|% “YR | didacy as a blunder.

Many years ago LaGuardia aired the same views that Roosevelt is mouthing today. Both of them favor low wages and the conquest of foreign markets which would lead to a new imperialist was. Almost directly after the last World War LaGuardia, speaking at the Church of the As- cension in Manhattan on America’s future, said: “We must give thought to the seeking of new markets to dispose of the vast quantities of merchan- dise which we produce; to keep in- dustries running, to keep wages comfortable with living, , . .” And after these phrases LaGuardia helped to vote down the petition of millions of postal workers who sought to make living more bearable under the profit em for themselves and their fami oa STUDY of LaGuardia’s record reveals him to be a capable and valuable servant of finance capital. He is a cagey and dangerous foe of the American working class, The current campaign, up to elec- tion day, will find LaGuardia boldly attacking Tammany’s crooked opera- tions. In their counter-attacks Tam- many spokesmen will show that Republicans in the Fusion camp are also guilty of crime in office. The Socialist leaders will join in these attacks and counter-attacks. But amid the din, the three capitalist parties will find their chance to slur over the many vital issues affecting the working masses. The Communist Party which has ruthlessly exposed and will con- tinue to expose graft, bribery and favoritism in office (all of this at the expense of the working class) alone offers a comprehensive pro- gram for the workers and those allied to the toiling masses. The Communist Party offers a cohesive line of immediate action for unem- ployment relief, for social insurance, for a fight against eviction, against a higher transit fare, against higher rents, against sky-rocketing profits of the public utilities, and against the lowering of the living standard under the NRA, It is the duty of all workers to mobilize themselves and their families solidly behind the Communist Party program.

They will not. These taxes are only a blind behind which the real capitalist Tammany tax pro- gram can go forward without arous- ing the anger of the workers in the City. While all the noise is being made by the representatives of the Stock Exchange and the banks, the water tax is forgotten in the shuffle. And that is the whole purpose of the little game that is being played down at the City Hall. The program designed by Unter- meyer calls for permanent taxations of fifty per cent on water rates, effec- tive January Ist and a five cent tax on taxicab passengers. This will in- crease the city revenues by $20,500,000 annually, it is estimated. The program also includes tem- porary taxations (September 1, 1933 to February 28, 1934); a tax of 1% per cent on the gross income of all public utility companies in the city, from customers within the city. A tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent on | the value of all savings bank and life insurance company investments. A 5 per cent tax on gross income of all those buying or selling stock market securities and a stock transfer tax of 4 cents -per share transferred by residents of the city. This will bring about $25,000,000 to the city, Unter- meyer says. \ Notice that the supposed taxes against the rich are temporary, scheduled for only six months. The tax that falls with crushing force on the poor, the increased water tax is “permanent! All the taxes “against the rich” can be indefinitely delayed by fights in the courts—the water rates can go into effect im- mediately! The Tammany strategy here is very interesting. Half from the rich— $25,000,000—and half from the poor, rates etc, But the half to be taken from the poor is a permanent tax and can be easily and quickly collected, while the half from the rich is for only six months, and it is very doubtful if they can ever collect it! The fact that both Untermeyer and the bankers are fully aware that the rich man’s “half is, in reality, a very doubtful quantity, is a guar- antee that the City government will | filiates’*—from August Solomon, Mayoralty Candidate, Spreads Lie That New Taxes Hurt Wall Street; City Hits Poor Behind “Tax-On-Rich” Smoke-Sereen takes half of every taxi driver's tip under the Untermeyer program.

La Guardia, Fusion candidate for Mayor. The above are answers to letters from the International Labor Defense inviting the mayoralty candidates to @ symposium on “Which Party Fights for Negro Rights.” The Sacialist leaders join the Fu- sion Party in displaying all the shak- ing fear they have of speaking to workers on the same platform from which a Communist will expose them. The Fusion Party frankly states that they have no interest in the Negro masses, but the Socialists hide behind the curtain of “declining to participate in a Communist arranged symposium.” The Socialist Party 1s also openly stating that they will under no cir- cumstances speak with Communists anywhere, Tammany Hall has hot yet an- swered the I.L.D. invitation.

Neither Unier- meyer nor expect to use much of the revenue for the relief of the jobless and starving workers, When pressed to answer the ques- tion, Will the new revenue be used exclusively for relief, or will i be used to pay the loans to the bankers, Untermeyer replied: not to pay The implication of this statement is unmistakable. The new revenues derived from the water taxes are des- tined for the vaults of the banks of the Rockefeller-Morgan banks! The Socialist leaders accept the Tammany propaganda about Wall Street to provide for relief, are trying to lead the workers right into the trap Tammany has for them, The Communist Party alone in the coming elections demands a real tax on the rich to provide for relief—a 10 per cent capital levy on all for- tunes over one million’ dollars. The Communist Party demands that the one tenth of all the huge piled up fortunes in the Wall Street vaults be taken by the City for immediate unemployment relief. That would be & real tax on the rich to feed the jobless workers.

IV—Enrollment Now that the Communist Party has become a recognized Party in New York State 2s explained in the intreduction, it is necessary for all party members, revolutiorary work" ers and sympathetic workers to en- roll with the Party when they reg- ister, The reason for enrollment is that hereafter, in order for the Party candidates to be placed on the ballot, and in order to set up the election appsratus of the Party, like State Comm'ttees, County Committees and City Commiitees, it is necessary to hold primary elec- tions where the Pariy candidates are nominated and the Party elec- tion officials are elected by the enrolied voters of the Party. Primary elections are elections held about two months before every general election. The pur- pose of the primary election is to give the enrolled voters of the Party the right to nominate the candidates of the Party who are to run for office on the Party ticket at the general election, and also to | elect the officials of the party elec- tion committees. Only voters who are enrolled with the Party have the right to vote in the primary These Rules to Vote Communist in Elections |Law Requires All Sup This Does Not Mea: elections, | How to Enroll.

Since anyone rt ail, merely by putting a cross in the Communist Party’s circle, can become an enrolled Party voter, there is serious danger that reform- ‘st, ant!-working class and renegade | elements will attempt to obtain the | majority of the enrolled voters in | the Party, and in that way capture the whole elee*'on machinery of the Party and set up their own anti- working class candidates. This | danger can be overcome only by mass enro!lment in the Party of all honest rank and file workers.
