Ci, under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879. Every afternoon, Monday through Friday How To Lessen The Tax Borden At various times, proposals have been made for plac ing reasonable limits on the amount of taxes that can be levied on the American people by the Federal Govern ment: The best of these was introduced last September by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed of Illinois, ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee. It tßkes the form of a “Joint Resolution Proposing an Amend ment, to the Constitution of the United States Relative to Taxes on Incomes, Inheritances and Gifts.” To become Irw, it must be approved by a two-thirds vote of both Houses, and then ratified by three-fourths of the states. Th,e heart of Mr, Reed’s proposal is to fix the maxi mum total rate of all taxes, duties and excises on income at 25 per cent. There are but two exceptions, both of which are Obviously necessary in these discordant times. First, Dy a three-fourths majority, Congress may raise the max imum.rate to 40 per cent for periods, either successive or otherwise, not exceeding one year each. Second, in the B ven t' of a war which creates a national emergency so grave as to necessitate such action to avoid national dis aster*‘Congress could entirely suspend the limitation on taxation, also by a three-fourths vote. All of this would to businesses as well as individuals. Mr. Reed’s amendment would also deprive Congress of the power to impose death and gift taxes, leaving this means of taxation exclusively to the states where compe tition would tend to keep the rates within reasonable bounds. The only way to cut the cost of government is to take some of the money away from the bureaucrats and de-., partment heads and all the rest of the power-hungry poli ticians. And that can be effectively done only when the basic law of the land makes taxation beyond a certain level impossible. Mr. Reed’s carefully conceived proposal would achieve this, and at the same time take care of a emergency. It is difficult to see how anyone who honestly favors efficient, economical government could logically oppose it. ’ Excessive taxation c sin destroy a nation from within. We are at the danger point now. Reed Amendment is an excellent solution to bur gravest domestic’ problem. BABYLON, N. Y. EAGLE: “It may be that the admin istration looks upon the war in Korea, with its 100,000 American casualties, and 8,000 Americans murdered, as a triumph in foreign policy, but it will be hard to convince the American people that this is true.” I ? LEWISTON, PA., SENTINEL: “The American public is yitaUy concerned over the low ethical standard indicated by thip scandals in the RFC, the Bureau of Internal Rev enue and the Department of Justice. We do not feel that it taKes an ethics professpr or a student of the Bible to knowi&at acceptftace by an official of gifts for specific favors is wrong, that using a government position to fur- wn private financial interest or his business in terest-tff his friends’ or campaign contributors’ interest 4s wrong.” Frederick OTHMAN teJEfW ' ■ ' ■ • - *•" 11 -JA I WASHINGTON.—I think I’d bet tor tell you about my Indian boy. Victor Chumpltaz. and his war ft • With the North Koreans. It has left him a little confused. •: - Victor, you may remember, is the 2*-year-old Inca Mrs. O brought Up from Peru to help us operate our- rundown acres in Fairfax County, Va. He has been a won der; his only complaint is that we pay him too much and don’t give him enough work to do. j He’d hardly arrived before he & /received greetings from the draft 5 f board. What, demanded Victor, was f this? I explained that we had a war on our hands in North Korea. Victor said where was that? He also said he personally had no J interest In shooting any China- T could 'see his point. So we checked with the draft board. anttcß sent along a document for n Victor to sign. This said, in effect, that in trade for being exempted am the Army, he renounced any since he was taking full advantage of life in the United States, he owed it a little something. He said if our government wanted him to help'fight a war way off some where, the government doUbtlea? knew what it was doing. Victor tore up that insulting document. Soon thereafter he received a card Say ing he was classified 1-A by the draft board. This he carried with pride. Now he worked still harder, if that were possible. I even had trouble making him take his day of rest. He said he didn’t have time. He wanted to get the place all fancied up before he went off to war. So the other day the draft board called him lor his physical. Victor put on his new necktie with an American flag embroidered on it and headed for Fairfax. All day, long, with time out for lunch, u»a docs thumped him and peered dowß his throat. They asked him ques tions and they even gave him a list of printed hems to answer with pen and ft*. Viator told me about it that night. His health seemed to be good, he said' But those people handed him questions printed in English and how could he answer them when he couldn't even read them? You’ve guessed it. He received still another notick saying that be was unacceptable to the Army. Nearly broke hR him, but tow be asoi miM ..VSLy . K \l These Days THE PRESIDENCY The office of President has changed so radically that a gen eration has grown up which seems to have lost altogether the sense of a division of our government in to three independent branches, with checks and balances, as care fully provided in the Constitution. This is startlingly interesting be cause it shows how swiftly the atti tude of a nation can change. When Roosevelt demanded “blank check” appropriations from Congress, and got them, he weakened one of the most important Congressional func tions, namely, control of the money of the nation. Mr. Roosevelt made the budget, and Congress blindly approved on the theory that there was a more or less constant emer gency. Two wars and a depression have left their impression upon the upcoming generations who have, not been grounded in the history, nature and purport of our consti tutional system. The Presidency has come to have an exaggerated significance in the minds of many Americans combin ing the functions of an elected prime minister and an hereditary king. The assumption seems to be that the President "leads” the na tion, although the leadership prin ciple was so repugnant to the founders of this country that the Constitution set up checks upon his authority, many of which can ha’va no other explanation than an unwillingness to extend to any man vast and unrestrained powers. Most Presidents have accepted constitutional restraints as the rule of the road; a few, like An drew Jackson and perhaps Abra ham Lincoln, found the restraints difficult in the circumstance of their times. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s temperament was such that he brooked little interference, and his political ingenuity was such that he evolved procedures to subordi nate both Congress and the courts to his will. However, he never altogether succeeded. Harry Tuunau has none of Roosevelt’s astuteness nor does h* command equal respect, with the result ths,t he has been in a constant quarrel with Congress, including the members of his own, pa,rty. , Nevertheless, the Dower andJuk: cum bent U not exalted at an* rate, it is assumed that his office gives him an authority which often is. not his at ad but rightly belong* to Congress or the judiciary. The mpst glaring example of Mr. Truman's extra-constitutional activity is, of course, the frightful and costly Korean War. A study ot the time-table of the first 48 hours of our participation in that situation will show that the United States initiated the action taken and that therefore the United Na tions “police action” was an after thought. ' This is only important because, according to the Constitution, Con gross alone is authorized to decide whether the United States goes to war or not. Congress, in the Tru man pattern, gives its, approval by voting funds. Nothing in the Con stitution authorizes this devious procedure. We may become involved in wars in Burma, Malaya, French Indo china, Iran and Turkey in the near future without an act of Congress despite the Constitution. ‘ “ Similarly,.at Teheran and Yalta, decisions were taken of the broad est historic Import, altering the qiap of the world, rearranging the nationalities of millions of human beings, placing upon the American people huge obligations and liabi lities; yet none of it was done by normal Constitutional methods! No treaties were prepared which were duly ratified by the Senate, as is provided for in the Constitution. i-All this was taken in the Pres idential stride, with little protest by the people who 'had grown ac customed to a less restrained Pres idency, which could, in time, be come an unrestrained Presidency. Another example of the flouting qf Congress was the appointment of Dr. Philip Jessup to his Import tant position on the American del egation to the United Nations Gen eral Assembly session in Paris af ter the Senate had rejected him Ikr the post. A technicality made a recess appointment possible! but the intent of the senatorial action was so clear that a restrained Pres ident would not have employed it.

Though It meant the loss of “yotes at home for him to do so, he sup ported Truman i>p Civil Rights, re fused to join Southern filibusters. Therefore, the Negro vote should be with him.

Here is his complete public record; \ On March 93, 1950, Taft admitted to the New York Times, Herkld Tribune, "BAWMWre SUn ahd A*b ciated Press that he had pfivately encouraged McCarthy, had even arranged a meeting between the Wisconsin Senator and a possible informant had urged McCarthy “If one case didn’t work out to bring up another.” On Aug. 21, 1951, Taft began pull ing in Ids horns. He told a Port land, Me., audience that "The Re publicans haven't endorsed McCar thy’s charges—except those they agree with.” One month later, Taft packed a wgy even further. He told Spencer R. McColloch of the St. Louis Post- Dispatch that McCarthy’s methods were “perfectly reckess" and the coptent of hi* charges “Bunk ” Qp Oct. 22. 1951, Taft told the press |hat McCarthy had “over stated” his charges, and ad<fed; “The strength of communists in government appareptly reached a peak at Yalta and is now declin ing.” By Nov. 8,1951, McCarthy had be gun pressuring Taft to reverse himself. On that date, he announc ed that the Ohioan would support McCarthy for re-election. Finally, on Jan. 21, 1952, Taft completed the full cycle and issued his statement that McCarthy's charges had been “fully justified."

C-355: Bryce R!, aged 32, was brought up in an excellent home. “Bruce married 5 years ago and chose a lovely wife,” his worried mother explained. “He has a good position and they are buying a home.

His wife has diverted much of her attention to their youngster. So Bruce subconsciously feels that be obtains perhaps no more than si>% of her former ardor and admiration. After childbirth, a woman is phy sically less thrilling in marital re lations, so unless she consciously adds more coquetry, ber husband will feel vaguely, disappointed in her. Besides, husbands and wives nor mally grow sowewhat brotherly and sisterly in their attitude tow ard each other. They may still be affectionate and, fwti of each other, but lack some of those former “stage Right” reaction* of breathlessness, pulse pounding, palpitation of the heart, goose pimples and tremor of the hands. Any strange woman who is even half-way good looking, however, can resurrect these exciting emo tions in a man, for they represent the novelty or “stage fright” phe nomenon. And a strange man can do the same for wives. IN LOVE WITH LOVE Bruce is not In love with this di vorcee, but is in love with lovel He feels so thrilled to think he has recaptured his earlier zest and “stage fright” reactions, that hp doesn’t want to let his paramour get away from him.

She must fight fire with fire. Her husband really loves her far more than he does the divorcee though he doesn't consciously real ize that fact and his actions don't show it. But it is true. Bruce's wife might have prevent ed this disaster by injecting more novelty and variety into their mari tal relations. A yawning wife certainly doesn’t add to her husband’s erotic enthu siasm, and If he is already fearful of his sex vigor, she thus further frightens him.
