E. Coyle, general manager of the Chevrolet Division, emphasiz ed that the program is being un dertaken to furnish some employ ment to 40,000 of its workers and thus keep them off relief. The company hopes to provide a mini mum of two days employment per week for these 40,000 workers, he added. “Due to the shortage of bodies, the majority of our assembly plants will of course be idle,” said Mr. Coyle. “This means that, instead of flowing through the plants in accordance with the normal routine, the parts manu factured under this part-time op eration plan must be stored until assembly is resumed. “We hope to operate the manu facturing plants a minimum of two days a week. In those de partments where it is possible to do so, additional days will be add ed to’the schedule. Considerations of expense and inconvenience will be secondary to the one main is sue, which is to relieve the pres ent situation by providing as many hours of work to as many employees as we possibly can.” Sailor—Say, cook, there’s some thing wrong with these hot dogs. Cook—Well, don’t tell it bo me, I’m only the cook, not a veterin arian. , So Very Hard Customer—Give me some of that prepared monQaceticacidester of salicylicacid. Druggist — Do you mean as pirin?

IN WASHINGTON (continued from page 3) to realize how much they are pay ng. Only a comparatively few peo ple would be able to sit down and figure their total tax bill on the basis of direct and hidden taxes paid for all forms of government, [f a great number did this, the wave of public resentment would bring quickly a new era of lower taxes, economy in government and the end of needless expenditures. On the basis of estimates of Federal tax revenue for the fiscal year 1937, every man, woman and :hild will pay an average of 145.00 in Federal taxes. In 1931, drey paid an average of only ibout twenty dollars. Per capita figures on state, county and local taxes are incomplete, but it is indicated that with Federal taxes, the total is in the vicinity of 5100. For a family of five, this means a total tax bill of $500. Obviously, this tax burden is too ?reat and it is carried because our people do not realize its weight on the family budget. Of course, there are times when taxes cannot be immediately re luced without the curtailment of widespread governmental activi ties. We are passing through such times at present. However, it is not too early to plan for normal conditions. Conferences of Federal and state tax experts with the view to drawing the lines for sources of taxation, to the end that one unit of govern ment will not invade the tax field of another, are sorely need ed. The basis for such conferences is already at hand. Four years ago a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Com mittee, headed by the able Repre sentative Fred M- Vinson, of Kentucky, made an exhaustive in quiry into the subject of double taxation. Its factual preliminary report offers a startling indict ment of existing conditions. In its review of the atuation, the Vinson subcommittee offered the following questions which, in its opinion, should be discussed and solved: "First, which taxes are most adaptable for the use of the Fed eral government and which are most adaptable for the use of the state government? “Second, what taxes may be properly imposed by both State and Federal governments without serious objection from the stand point of equity? “Third, what means should be adopted to set forth a model tax system for the whole country. "Fourth, what means can be adopted to bring into practical operation a model system of tax ation.” There is reason to believe that farmers and workers in many sections are bearing the brunt of the existing multiplicity of tax levies. Certainly important ques tions are presented. Have high taxes on certain commodities— tobacco is a case in point—had the effect of reducing the price the farmers receive for their products? Have these taxes been a factor in the widespread re placement of workers by machines due to the narrow margins of profit and intense business com petition? Is the Federal govern ment endeavoring to aid farmers, business men, workers and unem ployed on the one hand and re tarding the effort on the other by high taxes? These questions and others certainly deserve at least serious question on the part of our tax authorities and econo mists. Now is the proper time for such consideration, so that when eoonomic recovery is com plete, add conditions are normal, them can be a readjustment of the'tax situation.

ROOKING AT Washington (continued from front page) with General Motors and in con flict with other labor groups, de mands that the President take sides with him, against the A. F. of L. as well as the industry he is fighting. MAY HURT LABOR CAUSE Undoubtedly, the people of the United States are sympathetic in their general attitude toward labor and convinced that the income of the worker and farmer must be increased. This does not mean, however, that the voters of this country are willing to leave the final decision in regard to labor questions to lahor organizations. There must be some authoritative voice to represent the mass of our citizens. Generally, the idea is that the President represents all the people of the country, not on ly the organized labor groups, and that in any approach toward a set tlement of a strike that he will l*ok out' for the best interest of the nation as a whole. Labor leaders, such as Mr. Lewis, can make no more serious mistake than to assume the right to de mand either governmental or pop ular support as a matter of course. SLOAN MISSES BALL With newspaper men and the public generally scoring a “bon er” for John L. Lewis, the way ’ ... t*7 JH 1^-. - — - tai■ ■ canon rromtses jnipi son inventor. seemed open for General Motors to make some progress toward winning public support. However, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the motor company, muffed the play completely and exhibited strategy of the rankest kind, re fusing to attend a conference to which he had been invited by Sec retary Perkins. His action was taken because the workers con tinue “to hold our plants unlaw fully” and thus no parley could be held. The President, commenting on this, expressed his disappointment and called Mr. Sloan’s refusal a “very unfortunate decision.” Thus the White House balanced the scales and maintained an impar tial attitude toward the strike, which apparently had been shaken a bit by his earlier comment on the Lewis statement. The latter, leaving a conference, was asked whether there had been any ref erence to what the President had said but, without disclosing what went on in the White House, smiled and replied, "You know there reallv comes a time. . . ” PUBLIC REACTION The public reaction to the sit down strike, in which strikers re main in plants without working, has hardly been apparent. How ever, the tactics of the C. I. O. were likely to react against the strikers, especially if A. F. of L. workers commenced a battle for the “right to work.” In other words, by a policy of conciliation the General Motors Corporation, it seems to us, had a chance to win public favor, which is what will decide the labor' questions involved. So long as its officials flout all efforts to confer on the issue and indirectly rebuff the Government, regardless of the reason assigned, there is little prospect of winning public sup port among the mass of Ameri cans. LEGISLATION AHEAD The public interest in labor questions becomes serious when a strike in a few key plants can tie up large-scale industries and im peril national recovery. The lon ger the impasse remains the greater pressure will be for some legislation permitting govern ment agencies to intervene, con duct hearings, make decisions and put an end to the economic war fare.

RUNCIMAN’5 VISIT The visit of Walter Runciman, Britain^ president of the Board of Trade, led to general discus sion of the prospects of a recipro cal trading treaty between Eng land and the United States. At least, so much has been admitted. Whether the visit of the British leader involved other world af fairs, affecting this country, is a subject of much speculation. A guess has been heard that one of the objects of Runciman’s visit was to secure economic conces sions from this country to Ger many in order to relieve internal pressure on Hitler and thus en courage him not to start a war. The situation in Germany is bad, with the people living under con ditions comparable to war-time restrictions and there are some who believe that Hitler will soon have to “deliver” or the people will give him trouble. If he is unable to come through satisfac torily, the experts fear he will hazard a war. HULL’S POLICIES GAIN This is pure speculation, how ever, so far as the White House and Runciman’s visit is concern ed. Few people believe that the trip was made solely for a con versation about reciprocal trade treaties, although Importance of such an It seems probable that governments will soon in earnest to formulate profitable concessions to their commerce. Generally, agreed that the end is and that it should be on the basis of the Secretary Hull has been with other powers, is beginning to be that political peace must upon an economic peace Mr. Hull’s work is tending move trade obstructions an to normal world NOTICE North Carolina, Alleglhany County.
