Newspaper Page TextThe sheriff's office today re ported a wave of malicious mis chief, with summer homes and cabins as the targets, is prevail' ing in the county, the latest be ing a cabin south of Ashland. An investigation of the latest episode is now under way. Three Prospect juveniles . are held in the county jail following vandalism in a Woodruff Mead ows cabin last week. Previously a .similar case in the Eagle Point area was cleared up. According to the investigating officers the depredation!, are the work of boys who smash furni ture, dishes, kitchenware and windows with great thorough ness. Robbery is not figured as the motive. It's all done with "know-how" To win a war that's simple. You merely do the impossible. Hannibal crossed the uncross able Alps. Joshua took impreg nable Jericho. Blucher got to Waterloo when Napoleon knew he couldn't But when it comes to doing the super-dooper, the world has never seen anything to approach this nation's trick of fighting two wars at once on far sides of a reasonably large planet. Ona reason for this success. with one of the wars now won and the other well on the way is that our generals have been able to borrow largely from business and industry vast amounts of "know-how." They've borrowed tons and tons of gray matter. Our not uncom mon experience may illustrate. When Uncle Sam's armies " crashed into Germany, the gen erals knew what they wanted to do in the occupied: section through both military and civil agencies. But planning the nec essary organization embracing civilian specialists of every kind was something else. They asked for one of our experts. They knew he was pretty good, because he had done im portant organization planning for the War Production Board and the Petroleum Administra tion for War. In fact, one gov ernment agency or another has had him for a couple of years. Now he's in Germany head man on organization. Similarly our men with know-how have answered many another call executives, tech nicians, research specialists, transportation and business ad ministration experts. They've helped keep things rolling at Army posts, airfields, supply depots here and abroad. Both Hitler and Hirohito thought global warfare impos sible for America.They believed the planning and execution be yond any general or general staff. They overlooked Ameri ca's reserve of "know-how."

Babson Nor Hopeful for Reduction By Roger W. Babson Washington, D.-C, June 25 (Special Correspondence) The past week I have been trying to make an intelligent forecast of the prospects for reduced Fed eral taxes after Japan collapses, which should be within six months. This is a summary of my conclusions. EXCESS PROFITS TAXES CUT DIVIDEND RECEIPTS The average investor little realizes what tremendous sums corporations are penalized by ex cess profits taxes. In many cases these taxes amount to more than investors receive in dividends; in fact, sometimes double or per haps triple. If these were sud denly eliminated, after Japan col lapses, some companies could double or triple their dividends. Yet in all probability this will not happen, especially if com pany earnings fall off materi ally. I am sure that the excess pro fits taxes will not be cut off al together and corporations will be lucky if they are cut in half within a year after Japan col lapses. My present belief Is that these excess profits taxes will gradually be reduced as the earn ings of companies gradually de cline during the postwar period. The general purpose of such a tax program would be to keep corporation net earnings about where they are today without giving them the advantage of peace, but preventing them from being penalized by the falling off of war business. NORMAL TAXES DOUBLED SINCE WAR Normal corporation taxes be fore the war were 20 per cent. Then they were Jacked up to 40 per cent at which they are at present. My feeling is that there will be a compromise at 30 per cent and perhaps stabilization at this figure for some time. This would be a fair thing to do if the excess profits taxes are eliminated. These excess pro fits taxes are what are "causing the trouble and may be a real factor in causing unemployment. Congressmen should insist that these excess profits taxes are eliminated as soon as possible with a fair compromise on nor mal taxes. Some of the remaining New Dealers in the Administration are talking about the entire elimination of corporation taxes and putting all the tax burden on individuals after they receive their dividends. Their theory is that with the present high cor poration taxes the small investor is taxed on his careful savings the same as is the multimillion aire. Hence, they would let all dividends come through from the corporation without taxation and then tax these dividends as they are received by individuals. The small investor would then pay only, say a 20 per cent tax; while the millionaire would pay a 90 per cent tax. BALANCING BUDGET MEANS TAX NEEDED President Truman is an honest man. Furthermore, he is thrifty and sincerely hopes to balance the budget before he runs again for office in 1948. He can so balance the budget only by keep ing up taxation. Hence, I am not as optimistic as some of my friends in believing that there will be radical tax reductions after Japan collapses. "We should hope for the besi, but pre pare for the worst." At least this is my conclusion at the pre sent time. The only possible ex ception is. in the, case of corpora tions whose stock at market prices represents actual cash in vested. There may be exemp tions to the extent that the book values of corporations and the actual cash invested are repre sented in the assets. Finally, let it be remembered that although President Truman is both honest and thrifty, he has been well-trained in the school of politics. Although he may turn neither to the right nor to the left yet he may perform that acrobatic feat which the tight rope walker with the long pole performs at the circus. Instead of following any one pressure group or ignoring any other one pressure group, he will throw a few crumbs to each pressure group. This means when it comes to taxes that all forms of taxes excess profits, normal corporation, individual and so- I called "nuisance taxes" may all J be reduced proportionately "giv ing every dog a little bite.
