HOWARD C. BARROWS Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year-in Salt Lake County (in advance) ...."....................... _...........$1.50 Oustside of Salt Lake County, per year..•...............................................$2.00 . ~ERIOUS As the UNDERTAKING new year opens, ~tatisticians, experts and house- ;wives agree on one fact. The eost of living is rising ominously. Cries for inflation controls grow louder. The "easy" way of paying for war by painless borrowing is beginning to hurt. ~he best possible inflation control is taxation. This control has not been appled effectively. An additional inflation control is direct sale of war bonds to the people. The banks should receive much of the credit for successfully putting tens of billions of dollars worth of these bonds into the hands of the public. Their efforts have helped immeasurably to stem the trend toward forced sav~ngs and resultant restrictions ;which the Treasury has been reluctant to impose. The Treasury hopes to raise the present figure of 23 million workers now investing an average of 8% of their pay in savings bonds, U a figure of at least 30 million ;workers setting aside an average of at least 10% of their earnings every pay day. This means in the words of a spokesman for the National City Bank of New York, that: "The bankey, by virtue of his position in the community, has a special responsibility for takng off his _coat and getting down to work to make the financing a suc~ess." However, no voluntary war bond program can possibly be a success unless the American people evidence a willingness to turn from a scramble for disappearing luxuries and put their money in\o a serious undertaking. That undertaking is :winning the war, and at the same time saving the economic !SYStem by which we all live. :tJNSUNG WORKERS Recent news reels contained a propaganda picture of one of the government's great socialized power plants. An l.minformed person gaining his impression from the explanatory remarks, would be justified in assuming that government power projects were principally l'esponsible for furnishing power to our war industries. Such is not the case. Without the private electric industry, which furnishes upwards of 90 per cent of the power for :American industries, the great majority of our war industries would come to :,- a standstill overnight. The private, electric industry has no official spoh.esman. Its ;Inmdreds of;, operating companies furnishing ' power for the nation are like the mmions of small farmers :who furnish the bulk of the food for the nation, unheard of and unsung. Every time a governmentowned power plant turns juice into a war industry, the news is flashed from Washington all ~ver the COUJltry. But nothin~ is said about the fact that when America's power demands pyramided overnight, American privately-owned power companies performed a miracle of interconnecting their various systems, which had long been planned for just such an emergency. This was done in the day's work, without a dime's cost to the taxpayer-instead millions were returned to the Federal Treasury in war taxes. The socialized Federal power plants have tax exemptions which are inexcusable when every industry and every individual should be sharing the war tax load. The private electric industry is doing things the American way-paying its way, paying its taxes, and meeting an emergency with initiative and ingenuity. LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE Efforts are being made to bring about the repeal of the punitive chain store tax law in Tex~s. Like other class legislation of its kind, it is not desgned for any purpose other than impairment of chain store efficiency on the theory of limiting competition. The voters of Utah recently repealed a similar law. And significantly, the independent merchants of Utah formed no organized opposition to its repeal. They had learned from experience that pru1itive laws benefit no one in the long run. Special chain store tax laws are punitive. 'rhey are a penalty tax against a single group. ..Wherever they are in force, they represent a precedent that may at the whim of a disgruntled minority be used as a background for an attack on another group. Spokesmen in agriculture, industry, universities, and public life have warned that this type of taxation is a direct threat to free enterprise. And th~y did not mean the free enterprise of of "bigness" alone. They meant all enterprise, from the one-man grocery store to the largest corporation. A side from the issue of principle, chain store taxes are indefensible from the standpoint of revenue. Punitive chain store taxes in 1941 yielded only a trifling amount in proportion to all taxes . Of total tax yield in states having punitive chain store taxes, the latter accounted for only 0.43 % of reve nue. This is infinitesimal compared with 30.9% from Federal, state and local property taxes, and mo~ than 25% from income taxes. See us for commercial printing. MIDVALE GARAGE ARNOLD C.
