UTAH FRIDAY, MAY 24. 1946 Sees Lewis' Royalty Demand a Super-Tax on .American Public Complete plans for the 77th annual commencement of the University of Utah were announced last week by Dr. A. Ray Olpin. More than 350 senior students wHl be graduated at this year's Washington-The royalty tax demanded by John L. Lewis "would pyramid into a mu1ti-billion dollar sales tax on the American public/' Ira Mosher, chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers, charged before a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee last week. Urging that Congress smash Lewis' "attempt to usurp its exclusive right to tax the people,'' Mr Mosher sajd the time has come to settle this question once and tor all Hby outlawing forever "any private levy on the many for the benefit of the few.'' The Real Issue The manufacturers' head warned Congress not to lose sight of the real issue-the power to tax"and that is the issue, no matter how thin you sllce it or try to perfume it." Pointiing out the dangers of allowing the principle of a royalty tax to become public policy through failure to recognize the issue, Mr Mosher said: "Nothing succeeds like success, and once this principle is established as a national policy there can be no stopping. 11 The success of any union demand automatically becomes th~ basis for the 'gimmes' by every other union. The second and third round would up the ante again and again. The force of competition among unions would inevitably make their demands pyramid. They have to do as well or better than the next one to stay in business.'' Ten Objections Mr Mosher listed these speci~ fie objections to the principle of a royalty tax on production: ment exercises on Tuesday, June Washington's Wiseacres By J. E. Jones The Office of Price Administration has been a national irritant ever since it was created by executive order of President Roosevelt seven months before we entered the war. By January, 1942, responsibility for rationing was delegated to the OPA. Under the theory that a few officials in Washington could improve upon the way the people of the country live, the OPA went into action. It whipped into shape theoretical programs to regulate the prices of nearly everything the typical American Jamily buys, eats, wears, and uses, and saddled it onto 8,000,000 different services and commodities in all levels from the producer to the consumer. Price controlled goods were ordered to be bought and sold by 3,000,000 establishments, including 189,000 manufacturers, 93,000 wholesale, 1,700,00 retail, and 288,00 service businesses; plus rent regulations. Two-thirds of our total population walked the chalk-line laid down by Chester Bowles and his administrators. Some people liked it, more peo· pie accepted it, and everybody obeyed, in hopes that it might be and probably was the right thing to do. \Vashington Wiseacres are still cracking their whip, and they are continuing to issue new rules, orders and regulations to shorten up food on America's dining tables so that more food will be shipred to the starving people in fortign lands. A few days ago Secretary of Agriculture Anderson made a radio address in which he announced higher price ceilings on grains. In the course of his remarks he said: "There is every indication that the world food shortage will continue through this year and at least until the 1947 harvest . . . In order to avert another famine, they must have grain shipped to them during the coming fall, winter and spring." Now you can believe that if you want to, but a more cap· able authority on world food crisis is Herbert Hoover who recently returned from his round-the-world food mission. He has reported that the major part of the crisis will be reached in a very few months, when the crops are gathered in foreign lands. Herbe1t Hoover knows more about food than all the "brass hats" in the OPA and in the de- 4, will be Dr. William E. Rappard, internationally known educator and st.atesman, and Professor of Economics at the University o! Geneva, Switzerland. The BaccaJ.aureate Sennon on Sunday, June 2, will be delivered by Dr. Robert D. Steele, President o! WesLrnlnister College, Salt Lake City. Commencement week activities will begin on Saturday, June 1, when newly elected members of Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi, honor societies, will be initiated at ceremonies in the Union buila- .- -:. - . -. ing. Newly elected members of Phi Beta Kappa will be initiated on Sunday, June 2. at 2:30 p. m. Bacoalaureate services will be held in Kingsbury Hall at 4:15 p. m., to be followed by a reception for graduates and their families given by President and Mrs Olpin at their home at 1259 East S<?uth Temple !rom 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Senior class day exercises and alumni reunions will be held on Monday. Reunions will be held by the classes of 1896, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1926, 1930, 1931, 1938 and 1941. In addition the Emeritus club, composed of those who graduated over 50 years' ago will hold its reunion and welcome the graduates of 1896 into the club. The annual a1umn1 meeting is scheduled at 8:00 P. m., Monday evening. President Olpin and LeRoy D. Thatcher, Chairman of the Board of Regen1s, will lead the Commencement Procession from the Park building to Kingsbury hall at 9:45 Tuesday morning, At the conclusion of Dr. Rappard's address, the graduates will receive their diplomas. Final event wil1 be the 60th Annual Alumni banquet and ball at the Union build· ing, Tuesday at 630 p. m. Two hundred thousand prospective buyers will have to continue to wait for their new autos because of steel production lost in the first month of the coal strike alone, Pittsburgh plants re- port. The same amount of steel production lost also would have produced 3,000,000 refrige.oo.tors. partments of government. He has accepted the suggestion of President Truman and will go to South America as emissary for the president, to ''enlist the aid of the people in the other Americas in the effort to feed the starving of other lands." Mr Hoover does not agree with the pessimists that the world food shortage will continue until the 1947 harvest. The reason is: Hoover knows just exactly what the conditions are and he also knows what he is talking about. That much cannot be said of Washington 's Wiseacres in various branches of the Federal government. ----"I meant you to matl 1l, M1u Bigham, when l said to take .a letter to Jon~s & Co. in Cbica~o P' Careful Plans Would Produce Better Homes Graduate Speakers Named lor B.

Ninety-nine per cent o! newlybuilt homes could have been at least twenty per cent better if they had been more thoughtfully and intelligently planned, in the opinion of Elizabeth Gordon, editor of House Beautiful magazine. In line with the 11 Better Your Home--Bettel' Your Living" campaign of the magazine, which is designed to raise the American standard of living by encouraging the spending of more money on .the home instead of on non-essentials, Miiss Gordon states in the May issue of House Beautiful: "We have not required that new houses be markedly better than old houses. We have been content if the new house had a few superficial clinches of improvement that were popular at the time the house was built; a door chime instead of a doorbell, a colored bath instead ·of a white one, a cedar closet, a dish washer." Asserting that better houses won't come until Am.erkans envision them, she declares that in the matter of dreaming up better homes, Americans have not done a very good job. Without the burdon of extra cost, the appearance and usefulness of new homes could have been improved twenty per cent through thoughtful and intelligent planning, Miss Gordon believes. ....That is another way of saying that a lot of people failed to get the greatest good out of their money because they !ailed to dream big enough dreams,'' she asserts. 1 ' The less you have to spend, the more you should emulate the best. Only the rich can afford to make mistakes, or dream little dreams."' According to American Business this country's annual betting bill is well over 6 billion dollars. It transfers the power to tax: from Congress to the individuals; it puts an unnecessary and unwarranted burdon on the public; 'it is a highly inflationary merrygo-round; it is contrary to the public policy laid down by COngress in passing the anti-Petrillo bill; it would have the effect of a privately imposed sales tax; It would result in such a con- • centration of wea1th and political power as to threaten the government itself; it makes real collective ba-rgaining impossible~ it invites management-un"ion collusion detrimental to the public interest; it would give unions thelife or death power over all business; it would be nothing more than "speci~l privilege" accorded to one group and contrary to thepublic interest.
