UTAH, TUESDAY, Editorial .... - Redistribution Law TTfinrv H Weimarm. executive manager of . the National Association of Credit Men, , charges flatly that the new tax bill now before be-fore Congress is a redistribution-of-wealth measure. ' k , He does not say that it is intended to be such. He volunteers no opinion as to mo-tive. mo-tive. He merely points out its effect. And his interpretation is supported by studies made by the Chamber of Commerce of the United . States, which appear to show that already the tax structure has achieved.' indirectly in-directly iand curtly what Congress indignantly indig-nantly refused to do openly at President Roosevelt's request: It has placed jk less- than-$25,000 ceiling upon individual in-- in-- comes. ,' The tax structure, says the chamber, permits per-mits a slowly rising net income7 after taxes until, at $100,000 of gross income, the in-jdividual in-jdividual is permitted to retain $03,400. At that point the net income remaining after taxes begins to decrease again until the "fortunate" recipient of an annual in come of $5,000,000 actually has to pay $5,- 045.750 in taxes! The proposed bill continues all the vicious practices of the existing system, ana adds to their burden. Says Mr. Heimann : "(It) continues to place most of the burden bur-den on the middle class, largely liquidates incentive 'for business through an added corporate-tax and avoids all reference to a general sales tax. "Those who .argue for a redistribution of wealth will una such a plan much to their liking. There is still plenty of wealth in the nation, but its redistribution is being speed ily acomplished in a thousand and one in visible, indefensible and insidious ways. "If we want to stop that, then let us at least try to insist that those who favor redistribution redis-tribution shall extend it to include an equitable equit-able distribution of the tax load of the American people. Here is something that needs a just and equitable redistribution, but the new tax bill accomplishes nothing of the sort. The Chamber of Commerce arid Mr. Heimann Hei-mann are, of course, special pleaders. They plead for retention of the capitalist system, lor preservation of the profit motive, for the right of a man or woman to be rewarded for energy, initiative, imagination, dating, the character to save and the courage to invest, They strike a responsive chord. The Washington - Merry-Co- A Daily Picture of What's Coins on In National Affairs Round tew. s. Alias ea active set?) happened Voluntary Retirement This is a twice-told tale. I 'it once before, sa long ago that we can not remember the agency concerned. Another government agency actually is going out of business of its own volition, releasing its personnel, closing its offices,1 ceasing1 to exist with the finality of a private corporation corpora-tion whose work is completed. The agency concerned is the Steel Recovery Recov-ery Corporation. There was a time when it had 549 employes. It was expected that it might expend as much as $300,000,000. Now its doors are closed, as of Dec. SI, and it has spent only about $3,000,000. What do you think of that? Soft, Swirling Snow flakes The National War Labor Board has decided de-cided that a snowstorm is a Caprice of Nature. Na-ture. This decision, written by Wayne L. More, a public member, shows imagination by avoiding the more customary expression, "an act of God." The decision holds that when such a Caprice Ca-price of Nature creates an emergency in which sawmill workers have to shovel snow in order to get -to their machines, they must be paid their regular skilled labor rates if they are able to complete the shoveling in less than a day. but may be (employed at common laborers' wages if they "shovel more than one day. We can't decide whether to enjoy most the Caprice of Nature phrase, the exercise in logic, or the introduction which some OWI poet put onto the news release, which begins: "Soft, swirling snowflakes' falling in the green pine forest of the Great Northwest North-west have often caught the fancy of the poet and the painter ..." WASHINGTON There won't 1 be a railroad strike on. December 50th you can bank on that. The operating prothernooas nave au w trump cards in this dispute, and four out of five leaders of these unions decided at secret parleys in Washington that they would come to some agreement agree-ment on a wage settlement before December 30th, the day set for the rail strike. The fifth leader. A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, tipped off presidential aavisers that .his union would not strike, wmcn maices k unanimous. . i However, most of the brotherhood leaders were determined that President Roosevelt shouldn't get the credit for settling the strike. This, more than anything else, held un an agreementthe fact that rail union heads want the public to think they worked out a settlement with the operators, with out ceing ouizea xnio h oy we wniie nouse. Because of his close friendship with the presl dent. Whitney is considered a lone wolf by other brotherhood leaders. Inside fact is that the train men chief tried to get his colleagues to agree to a three-point settlement caning for overtime pay after 40 hours, vacation pay and expenses away from home but the others wouldn't go ror it. The only union leaded who sided with Whit ney in the parleys at the White House was Al- vanley Johnston, chief of the locomotive engineers The showdown came when Whitney proposed that the president 'become an arwtrator - or me ois-pute. ois-pute. Johnston was the only other labor spokes man to back him up. MEDIATION BOARD IGNORED The other three brotherhood leaders H. W. Fraser of the conductors, D. B. Robertson of the firemen and enginemen, and Tom Cashen of the switchmen told Roosevelt very Diunuy tnat tney wouldn't agree to the Whitney compromise and that they Would prefer to see the case turned back to the national mediation board, where, they insisted it belonged. There was more behind this 8-2 vote against the president becoming an arbitrator than appear ed on the surface, or than the president himself knew about. In addition to being incensed by what they call White House "dramatics" in the dispute, the brotherhood chiefs are burned up about kn alleged "run around" given William M. Leiser son, chairman of the national mediation "board. They had wanted him to handle negotiations. Inside fact is that Leiseraon wasn't inform ed about the cancellation of a board meeting in Chicago on the rail wage case, slated for the day following the president's dramatic summoning of union and operator representatives to the White House. He did not know about it until rail labor leaders tipped him off about the White House meeting, just as Leiserson was packing a Suitcase to leave for Chicago. Hours before. White House labor adviser An. na Rosenberg had phoned Whitney, long-distance to Cleveland, and told him about the White House meeting. Some time later, other brotherhood brother-hood leaders were told about the president's intention in-tention to call off the Chicago meeting and take over himself. While down on the White House, the irate brotherhood leaders are nonetheless agreed that there will be no strike. ROCKEFELLER FOR NEW REGIME Young Nelson Rockefeller is a son and heir of the wealthiest man in the U. S. A. His father's fortune is tied up in various Standard Oil companies. com-panies. One of these has had extremely fought treatment at the hands of Bolivia, which cancelled outright its concession in that country. Yet, in the present Bolivian revolution, young Rockefeller, as U. S. coordinator of La tin- American relations, has taken a stand in favor of the revolutionary government, despite the fact that, a member of the new Bolivian cabinet, Carlos Montenegro, is author of "Standard Oil's Gold Against Bolivia's Justice. Rockefeller takes this position despite the further fact that the state department frowns on the new Bolivian government; also despite the fact that the revolutionaries, according to their statements, are revolting against the tin barons of Bolivia who ordinarily would have a lot in common with Standard Oil millions. Inside the diplomatic corps, the Bolivian revo lution is considered one of the most significant in years and of deep-rooted Interest to the Am erican public. There are two reasons: 1. The Bolivian revolt may be the forerunner or omers in other Latin American countries, z. The u. S. government is split the state department taking an unfavorable position; the Rockefeller office and Vice President Wallace tak ing a lavorauie one. This Is the first time the state department has found itself with another government agency to counter-check its moves. UPRISING AGAINST TIN BARONS The state department claims that a gang of self-seeking anti-American opportunists have seized power in Bolivia. But the Rockefeller-Wal-lace group claim that this is a deep-rooted social economic uprising which springs from the manner in which Bolivia tin miners have been ground down by the big tin barons. He was not very successful. Last year, a Bolivian tin strike culminated in a disastrous shooting of many tin miners by government troops. And though President Penaranda was invited to Washington and pampered in the White House, he has just been kicked out by a revolution springing from thetin workers. -similar systems of peonage exist in other Latin I I j 1V. i--j -4 .

There was just one way to find out and that was by joining the ranks of the sick and wounded at an advance base. With the consent of the commanding medical officer, but unknown to anyone else, this marine, while at the front in the South Pacific, pretended serious lilness. Two days later he was in a hospital on the edge of Henderson field, Guadalcanal. A tag on his shirt marked him asa severe case of peptic ulcer. He received no special treatment. He was handled exactly as other evacuees were handled in the plane ambulances"; out of the combat area. He was loaded onto a transport plane with seventeen other sufferers and within a few hours was installed in a fully equipped base hospital with a staff of 400, each physician selected for pre-eminence in his field. After ravealing his identity, this inquisitive marine ma-rine received permission to stay a while and observe. In his own words, he saw 'a number num-ber of delicate surgical operations, a wide "variety; of fracture treatments,. Lifesized American countries, especially Peru.

S. air base has been one of the Army's worst-keot secrets. When Gen George C. Marshall's biennial re port was issued last summer, revealed that U. S. troops were then stationed in some 80 foreign countries and island possessions rOn a man accompanying tne re oort. ahowinsr where all these places were, the name of little Ascension stood out prominently in the South Atlantic. A legena indicated that U. S. troopa had been stationed , there since March 1842. Everything in the Marshall re port was supposed to be off the restricted list and on the record. but efforts to learn more about what went on at Ascension met with flat refusals, Ascension was suDoosed to be a very hush-hush operation and the Air Transport Command didn't want anything mid about it. Even though th Marshall report had lifted the no and even though anyone looklne. at a man could guess wnat ii was belnc used xor, sun even the simplest announceemnt about & tt. s. base on Ascension had tn ha kent "secret." Then, a few days ago, a lun cheon-club sneaker in Washing' ton, in full possession of all the facts, talked xreeiy aooui Ascension Ascen-sion and sald.it was all right for the story to be told, without at tribution. That's how it got out. The Air Transport Command is issuing a hand-out release about the island later in the month, to coincide with publication of magazine article which' tells all in greater detail. Debate Inevitable But this wont' be the end of the Ascension Island story. Being another one of these American built-paldfor - and maintained bases on British ttritory. it will become a topic for argument in deciding its post-war use. The strong nationalist point of view is that ail such bases, whereever built, should remain as American bases. U. S. - built military air bases at New f oundland, Bermuda and other points involved in tne swap of old destroyers to the British Brit-ish will remain under the American Amer-ican flagr during the 99-year lease, but cannot be used for commercial aircraft. Some of the leadtag commercial airline executives are of tne opin ion that this is unimportant ne cause most of these bases are not on what will be the commercial nost-war air routes. Ascension Is land, before the war. was certainly no ereat asset, except for minions of terns and sea turtles who went there to lay eggs. Its human popu lation numbered 300. mostly living in the one community of George Town. But it's an Important air base now, and it's no longer a secret, and what's to be done about it and the hundreds more like it, in the post-war by-and-by, is a free topic for debate.
