TAX REVISION It has long been the opinion of busi- ness leaders and economists that revision of the federal tax system is esseritial to the eventual achievement of sound _pros- perity. Now that belief is making head- way in the high places of government. Motivating cause is the business recession which, in the view of all the experts, was largely the result of our .chaotie « fiscal policy. Ee Secretary Morgenthan's fecent ut terances marked: vhat miamiy, Hope to be a new and more realis tic “ippioach to the problems of taxdtion.--Mr-— Morgenthau advocated balancing *ttte’ budget by re- ducing expenditures for relief, highways, public works and agriculture. He further advocated broadening the tax base. And he intimated that there must be revision of certain special taxes which are worrie- some and detrimental to businéss and in- vestment. At the opening of the special session of Corgress, the President likewise touch- ed on the gravity of the tax problem and the need for revision. As Representative O’Connor, Chair- man of the important House Rules Com- mittee, said. a ‘few days before the special session opened, Congress should grant tax relief at once, instead of waiting. for the regular session: He added: “If the Ways and Means Committee came in with a tax biM changing the capital gains and cor- porate surplus taxes, the reaction would be tremendous. The psychological effect would be tremendous. I’m going to do all I can to build up that idea.” The entire tax structure needs ex- amination and change. And it is probable, as Representative O’Connor says, that the best place to begin is with the capital gains and corporate surplus lévies. These two taxes, more than any others, prevent investment, reduce the incentive for capi- tal to take risks, and make it impossible for many industries to build up surplus re- serves and to expand their plants out of earnings. As a consequencé, these two taxes have been directly responsible for a substantial share of the collapse in the se- curity market and the general drop in business, Congress should overhaul the income and other taxes. Above all, it should broaden the tax base, which would not only increase federal revenue, but would give millions of citizens a new sense of re- sporisibility for the operation of their gov- ernment. If the preserrt administration, with its top-heavy Congressional majority, will really make a serious start toward tax reform, it will perform the greatest possible service to the country, and to the resurrection of our lost recovery. A RIDER OF 1848 As a change from the almost iio- notonous present day accounts of record- breaking airplane flights, the story of an old-time exploit on horseback is refresh- ing by way ®f contrast. Such a story was recently tol@ in the New York Herald- Tribune, ang deals with the famisus ride of Felix Xa¥ier Aubry, who covered the 800 miles between Santa Fe and Inde- pendence in less than six days. : This happened in September, 1848, when settlements in the Southwest were few and far between. Aubry had already made the trip in eight days, and bet $1,- 000 that he could make it in six. With relay horses stationed. along the route, he started alone. At one relay point he found no mount, but its keeper killed and sealped by Indians, so with his famish- ed horse he pressed on. Toward the end of another leg of the trip his horse gave out and he trudged 20’ tnles on foot to the next stop. fannie With little to eat and orily two hotirs’ | sleep except what he could catch while in | the saddle, ‘he finally reached Independ- ence'a few hours ahead of schedule, more dead than alive. Upon arrival Aubry had bet. A great man commonly disappoints those who visit him. They are on the other people; in fact, he sometimes laughs, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN vy FLEMING STREET METHODIST, CHURCH Rev.
