TAXING AWAY JOBS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Here and there we find evidence of a change to more
realistic thinking toward unemployment and profits. A few
labor leaders are working to aid management in conducting
profitable businesses, rather than trying to appropriate all
profits for the benefit of labor. A few labor leaders and
government officials are beginning to recognize the im
portance of JOBS, and are thinking of ways and means to
create them.
Two methods of increasing employment are plainly
marked. One is to encourage private industry to expand
production. The other is to provide public works paid from
the common treasury.
For nearly two decades we have been told of the "evils"
of the capitalistic' system. Big business has been assailed,
simply because it is big.' Foes of capitalism and free enter
prise have succeeded in convincing many people that profits
are wicked and should be seized by taxation or controlled
by legislation. Organized labor, "during years of struggle to
obtain its fair share from profits it produces, has not yet
fully realized that jobs cannot be maintained under a capital
istic system when an excessive share is demanded; that
a realistic attitude must include fair division between both
management and labor.
Fre Enterprise Has Many
; Some of our popular attitudes antagonistic to free enter
prise may be traced back to management abuses and excess
profit-taking. But aiding and abetting is a socialistic theory
opposed to free enterprise and capitalism and encouraging
totalitarian powers in which all people would become subject
to the welfare state. Thus we find a strong school of thought
that all earnings and wages, other than an amount sufficient
to cover bare necessities of life, should be seized by the
government and then returned through such channels as
might be selected by those in authority usually guided in
their decisions by political expediency. Thus they would
control jobs through public works and legislative controls
ovee business and industry, preserving and perpetuating
authority by economic domination.
We have long been traveling the socialistic path, but hope
atilKmay be found, in recent expressions and actions, that
we may be nearing a turning point. .
Jobs Are Best Economic Security 1
Leon Keyserling, acting chairman of the President's coun
cil of economic advisers, is quoted ia recent news items
stressing the necessity of increasing industrial production
at the average rate of 2Vi to 3 percent annually to provide
employment for the nation's workers. While the economic
council has definitely pointed its studies along the socialistic
path, until one of the nation's foremost economists resigned
in protest to distortion of data, the fact that.it emphasizes
the need for jobs is significant.
' Given the fact that jobs are needed at a certain progres
sive rate, the next step is to determine the method by which
the desired result may be achieved. As. previously stated,
one way is by encouraging free enterprise and the other is
through public works.
Must Remove Shackles
If we are to follow the
shackles must be removed and
employment. '
We cannot expect industrial expnnsion, while we simul'
taneously discourage profit-taking and penalize bigness
We can't expect free enterprise to do the job while we cotv
tintie "soak the rich" policies of taxation.
In the first place, big taxpayers those who pay $100,000
or more per year contribute only about one and one-fourth
billion dollars annually to the nation's tax income. But little
taxpayers with incomes up to $7,000 contribute around
10 billion dollars. Much of the big taxpayer's tax is passed
on. to the little taxpayer in
business. So who is getting hurt?
By a more realistic federal
' granting exemption for money invested in job-creating
projects, eliminating pyramiding of personal income taxes
by permitting a taxpayer to pay separately on earnings from
each of several corporations in which he might be interested,
we could quickly solve much
Here in Oregon, where
needs introduction of utilization processes, not only to cre
ate more jobs but also to conserve a great resource, thou
sands of new jobs could be created if existing taxation
policies were changed and cooperation between labor and
management achieved.

Let the teletype take It from
here:
"Up the Wilhelmstrasso, post the

where the Kaiser's legions and la
ter the Nazi hordes used to march,
came the blue-shirted youths. . . .

marched, through rain and sun,

obviously army-disciplined in their

All week I .have been trying to
write something for Memorial day.
But whatever I have written has
gone into the fire. All because of
an article in a national magazine
recently about the "forgotten m?n"
women, too in the veterans
hospitals where mental cases are
cared for.
In the article, full tribute was
paid to the Gray Ladies, the Ked
Cross, the townspeople in the com
munities near the NP hospitals.
Then case after case was described
where a man received no lattars
from relatives ... no call ... no
little packages. It told of one man
who had a good chance to recover,
but loneliness and disappointment
overcame him. He gave up the
fight to get well . . . now he is one
of those whom we honor on Decor

Congress Chat
HARRIS, ELLSWORTH, M. C.
4th District, Oragon
The House of Representatives
has just about completed action
upon all important bills reported
by committees. The only legisla
tion in this category upon which
the House has not yet acted is
the bill to continue rent controls
for six months under certain con
ditions. The ways and means com
mittee is still working on a tax
bill. Several public health bills are
still in committee as is the bill for
aid to medical education and the
general Federal-aid to education
bill. Some of these bills may be
ready for floor action during the
ncxt'two or three weeks, but until
Ihey are there will be little acti
vity on the part of the House.
Last year Congress passed the
basic legislation designed to put
(he recommendations of the Hoo
ver commission into effect. The
President was given authority to
reorganize the executive branch of
the government, ine principle re
striction placed on his authority
was that as he completed reorgan
ization plans they were to be sub
mitted to Congress. I'nder the
terms of the basic act Congress
has 60 days in which to look the
plans over. If either the Hourse or
the Senate disapproves a plan, it
is rejected and the President may
offer a new one or not, just as
he sees fit. Plans which are not re
jected within the 60-day period
automatically go into effect. In
March the President sent 21 plans
to Congress. The 60-day time limit
has now expired. Five of the plans
were killed by the Senate. None
was rejected by the House. Six
teen are now in effect.
Commenting upon the Senate ac
tion in rejecting some of the plans,
Senaior Butler of Nebraska declar
ed the President himself caused

any kind of hospital for that mat
ter. But have known what a joy
it was to welcome visitors to my
bedside when I was recovering
from illnesses or operations. I
have not known what it was like
to lie lonely and "forgotten" and
neglected. I just can't bear to
think that could happen to a vet
eran who gave so much to keep
this country safe and free!
It seems to me our first duty is
to the living ... I say it as a
Gold Star mother. If only Uiere
were soma way that the relatives
of such "forgotten" men might be
contacted made to aa? Of course
I should like so much to think that
patients in the Roseburg hospital
do not know such loneliness, such
neglect on the part of relatives.
Then there are the veterans who
do not need hospitalization who
ask only a chance to support a
wife and perhaps a baby, too. I
have heard such veterans speak
with bitter disillusionment about
the promises they read and heard
while they were still in the service.
It is a fine thing to lift a for
eign family out of misery and give
it a fresh start in what seems a
bit of heavan on earth America!
But what about the vilirml
among ut wha natd obi?
phrases. The Senator pointed out .
that while pretending to put the
Hoover Commission plans into ef
fect. Truman really submitted :
plans which were designed to con-!
centrate power in his own hands j
rather than to accomplish ceo
nomy. '
'Reorganization plans numbered
22. 23. 24, and 25 were submitted
to Congress by the President on
May 9th. These plans will go into
effect July 8th unless rejected by
either the House or the Senate.
In June 1949, nearly a year ago,
Congress passed the Public Hous
ing Act. The essential purpose of
this legislation was to provide low
rent housing, at government ex
pense. The proponents said an em
ergency existed which private
builders could not meet people
had to have houses right now, ran
the argument, so the government
must get busy and build them. A
year has passed. Not one house
or housing unit has yet been built
or even started tinder that law.
Meanwhile in the same period of
time people have built nearly one
million houses for themselves.

Air Transport Essential
To Lumber Industry Area
EMPIRE Our attention has
been called to a project for the es
tablishment of commercial air
transport in Roseburg.
We wish to add our voice in
strong approval of this develop
ment. Our Douglas county inter
ests require frequent trips to your
city and air transport would have
considerable use by ourselves dur
ing each year.
We are also interested in develop
ing a water market for the small
mills in your area and have equip
ped ourselves to handle such busi
ness efficiently and in volume.
This will increase our prospective
need lor quick access to Koseburg,
and our customers will have cor
respondingly quick access to Coos
Bay when the need arises.
May we also add that considera
tions of steady mill operation de
mand fast service in parts supply.
We have found air service to Coos
Bay extremely valuable in this re
gard and believe it to be essential
to every lumber producing area in
these days when high costs compel
steady operation in the mainten
ance of competitive position.
Any aid that we can give in the
promotion of this project will be
gladly extended upon your re
quest. - ,

Auto Industry
Sets New Record
DETROIT (JP) The auto- indus
try has completed the biggest pro
duction monin in its history with
sales sun booming.
Unotficial estimates put the May
car and truck output at slightly
more than 700,000 units. The previ
ous high mark was 663,000 set in
August last year.
Industry sources generally expect
three-quarrters of a million cars
and trucks to roll from the assem
bly lines in June. If the June pro
gram is realized the industry will
come to the mid-year point with
a total output of more than 3,600,000
vemcles.
Most industry executives also be
lieve they will reacn tne hali-way
mark in 1950 with no indication of
a taoerine off in th heoviaut r,A,u
car demand since motor vehicles
entered tha m,t nrnHi,iinn
The car makers' appraisal of the
iiiarr.ei is suosiantiany more posi
tive than it was in the early weeks
ui uie year.
At that time most industry heads
were reluctant to predict what
might be expected beyond the
year's first half. Now most of them
say they see no let up in demand
for new cars during the remainder
of this year. Some, like Harry J.
Klinger, general manager of Pon
tiac motors, say heavy demand
for popular makes of cars is likely
to continue into 1951.
Industry executives also cite a
large population shift from cities
to suburban areas, with a conse
quent increase in the need for
cars.
