AMERICANS FACE E IS f Continued From Psge One) by taxation, Dr. Erb stated, and said that the -people of this country must be prepared for sharp increase in taxes. Eng land's Income tax begins at 25 percent on the lowest incomes and increases to 97VJ percent on the highest. "There are only about 100 people left to all Eng land with a net income of 120, 000 or more a year. The mil lionaire is a thing of the past," he said. The remainder of the cost of the war is financed by excise taxes and the sale of bonds. Dr. Erb said, and pointed out that even under this extreme taxation people have money left to buy bonds because they are permitted to buy only necessi ties. "America's main problem will be to increase production," Dr. Erb continued. Labor Awakening Discussing the labor situation. Dr. Erb said he war beginning to feel more cheerful about la bor problems and believed that the average laboring man was awakening to a real sense of public responsibility. He said he believed that it would be unwise to entirely prohibit the right to strike, even in defense in dustries, but that unions should be forced to mediate their dif ferences with employers and that they should be prevented from calling strategic, political or jurisdictional strikes for the present. Dr. Erb added that in his opinion unions should be regulated by the federal gov ernment along the lines of reg istration, auditing of accounts and elections. Inflation Problem Inflation is another of our main economic problems, the speaker said, and added that a good taxation set-up, preferably a graduated income tax alons the English plan, was the best manner of controlling inflation. This, combined with defense borrowing in the shape of bonds, not only has a desirable stabilizing effect during the crises but carries this effect over into the post-war period. The speaker ended his talk on a cheerful note, saying "This nation can meet its problems and still maintain Its demo cratic ideals and institution ' Dr. Erb opened his talk by praising the work of the League of Women Voters. He read a recent editorial from the New York Times which commended the New York league for its work. . Dr. Erb was Introduced by Mrs. Leonard Carpenter, presi dent of the Jackson county branch. corns i ilkUl ?Ttsvsj mtawr- u mi-wtf: nnthain do.
