Utah The LEADER 15, 1963 Thursday, April REPORTS FROM THE NATION'S CAPITOL BURTON STATES STAND ON REPEAL ACT IN TAFT-HARTLE- was not strong, and its battles had to be fought against overwhelming odds. Today, however, this has all changed, and later unionism now operates from a position of great strength throughout the country. If unionism continues to render valuable service to the working man, as well as to the nation as a whole, its ranks do not favor repeal of Section 14 'bi of the Act. I do not believe that Congress should take from the citizens of the individual states the right to have enacted ment I "right-to-work- laws " should they feel it in their own best interests to do so. The union movement in this country has been a prime facabout many tor in bringing needed anil desirable changes affecting the status of the American working man and the under which he conditions labors. The movement is to be saluted for the many worthy accomplishments it has achieved over the years. There was of our a time in the history country when the union move will grow correspondingly and its power will increase. It appears to me that nothing stands in the way of a vibrant, growin this ing labor movement country as long as it keeps its own house in order and fairly represents the interests of its members. I therefore fail to see why labor needs a "crutch" in the form of federal legislation compelling all workers to join its ranks. People will freely join a union if it provides a valuable service. This has been amply demonstrated in the past, and. I am sure, will continue to do so in the future. A labor union, like a political party, a social club, or any other group made up of free men, can" and should attract adherents to its membership rolls by virtue of its own values and programs. In my judgment, only an organization that has little to offer, that cannot stand or fall on its own merits, needs to gain its supporters by compulsion. Labor unionism, strong and growing as it is today, certainly is not an organization of this type and does not need to be supported by such methods. I believe a working man in a free country is entitled to join or not to join a labor union, as he may choose. I there- - total recent cut in Federal individual income taxes. The wage earner with $5,600 gross income received a net Federal tax reduction (1965 tax year compared with 19631 of for a man $142 (calculated with wife and two children).

Similar increases for the employer will in effect double the impact of the cost of the hospitalization and increased Social Security benefits provided by the proposed measure. In addition to the compulsory hospitalization benefits financed by the payroll tax, a voluntary "supplementary" insurance plan for doctor and other medical and. health costs is provided. These benefits are to be financed by a $3 per month payment by each beneficiary to be reten- of the tion of Section 14 b law so that states may protect the working man in his right to make this important decision. Taft-Hartle- y INSUFFICIENT TAX MONEY Rep. Laurence J. Burton today said he has received considerable mail from beconstituents complaining cause an insufficient amount of Federal income tax was withheld from their salaries during 1964, leaving them with either reduced refunds or an increased "amount of additional taxes due. "On April 15, many Utah taxpayers - - like their counterparts throughout the country - - will discover, if they have not already done so, that the 1964 tax cut was not as great as it seemed because of of Federal income g tax- extra This unplanned-fo- r tax bill is working a hardship es. many people.

Mr. Burton listed examples of the effect the unexpected tax burden will have on Utah families. "For example," he said, "a single person earning $5,200 a year, with standard deductions, will be required to pay $48.50 more this year than he would have under withholding rates applicable under the previous tax law. A married couple with standard deductions earning $7,800 would, instead of receiving a $11.20 refund, be required to pay an additional $56.00. A married couple earning $13,000 annually, with two dependents and standard deductions, will be required to pay an additional $104.00" ELECTRIC It's SO tries UTAH POWER LIGHT CO. & expensive: the the war in Viet Nam.

The Committee also wrote in coverage for the first time of all doctors, only currently professional group outside Social Security. Waiters, cab drivers and other service employees who receive cash tips would also be brought in under Social Security taxing requirements. Taxes they pay must be matched by their employers. The bill includes a greatly expanded medicare program for the needy and medically-needy- , under a revised Kerr-Mill- s Act.
