The Controversy on Tax Reduction
A special session is called in December will the GOP leadbe content with passing enabling legislation to proIvideFership
for stop-gap relief for Europe or will they insist on taking
up other legislation? Taxes, for, instance. Everyone believes
in tax reduction, Democrats as well as Republicans, but here's
Everybody is able to give
pleasure in some way. One
person may do it by coming
into a room, another by going
out.
The girl who pops the
question should have to go
and question pop.
The miser deprives himself
of everything for fear that
some day he may be deprived
of something.
Airplanes can now be had
on the hire system. Or should
it be on the higher system?

time to get up?
the argument at this time:
Republicans say there is no justification for wartime taxes in peacetime and that present taxes are a n unreasonable burden; that present
revenue is high enough that taxes can be cut and leave enough over to
pay some on the national debt; that present level of taxes is inflationary encouraging farmers and business to hold goods off the market in
anticipation of tax cuts tp allow them to retain a bigger margin of profits.
Democrats argue it is more important now to create a surplus to
apply on the national debt; that unpredictable foreign obligations
k
may require a substantial increase in governmental expenditures
and that a tax reduction would be inflationary in that it would
increase spending power and add to the demand for scarce goods
by leaving more money Wpeople's pockets.
DEPARTMENT
Whether or not the issue comes before a special session, tax reduction definitely will be one of the major controversial issues before the 1 DOGS, CATS, PETS, ETC.

PAUL MALLON
Unions Control Labor Board
HE UNIONS are railing the new National Labor Relations board as
T
a tyrannical oppressor, designing to enslave them—but actually they
have control of the board.
A fair summation of the setup there would list three of the five
members likely to be very pro-labor on a showdown. Union margin would
be three to two. Leaning on the labor side in basic background are Paul
Herzog, the old chairman; John Houston of the old board, and Abe
Murdock. Another holdover, James J. Reynold, and a new man, J. Copeland Gray, are classified as likely to be the minority of two.
The Republicans are suspicious of the kind of enforcement into
which their new reform law might trend. They are saying little
or nothing about this, being quite satisfied with initial steps taken,
but their fear is well grounded and real. It is merely in abeyance
to ascertain if it is justified.
Yet if anything is done to enslave any unions, it will be done by a
facially apparent pro-union board.
A tighter question, however, is how well the legally well-endowed new
general counsel, Robert Denham, performs. He has enough law behind
him apparently, has supervision directly over district offices of the board,
and will initiate and follow through on all the prosecuting of cases.
