AMERICANS FACE

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.
