There's serious doubt, too, whether its economy features are practical. The measure includes two amendments the GOP house leaders say will mean a $1,000,000,000 saving in the year starting July 1. Democratic Chairman Clarence Cannon of the appropriations committee calls the claim "extravagant and preposterous." Here's what the amendments do: One places a top limit on the amount-thvarious departments and agencies may spend on salaries, travel, communications. last-minu- te . e Bureaucrats in Russia r If bureaucracy is a bad thing, as most Americans are brought up to believe, we have at least the comfort of knowing we have no monopoly on it. Russia, from all accounts, has a bureaucracy so numerous that the like has not been seen: This is pointed out by Craig Thompson in his new book. The Police State; What You Want to Know about the Soviet Union." Every new factory requires the assignment of government supervisors, and the production of more paper work. If bureaucracy stifles initiative and cripples activity, the United States need fear little industrially . from the Russians. All this personnel has to be supported. This means, as Thompson points out, that any quantity of new factories will not solve the Russian economic situation. To carry on the present type of governmental structure, prices will have to stay high and wages must remain low. non-producti- ve Laziness and Progress The ants solved their social and political problems a million years ago, and now all they have to do is work all of the time. It's about the same with. the bees. They're not so infernally busy as the ants, and they take some time off; but they don't seem to enjoy life. They are sadly exploited, too, by a race of lazy giants called men, who seize most of the fruits of their labors and give little in return. Does all this deflate the importance of thrift and industry? Not necessarily, but it shows the fallacy of sending man to the study of such inferior creatures as the ants and the bees, which are exemplary in their energy but a little short on thought. Physical laziness, 'on the other hand, is the beginning, of wisdom. From it, surprisingly enough, comes progress. The best way to cultivate a neighbor is to leave the dirt alone. The other change prohibit federal cent of 90 of job vacancies per ing after July 1, The aim, of course, is to reduce gradually (and painlessly) total government personnel. A saving of $400,000,-00- 0 is forecast. Admittedly this is a way of cutting down without making the lawmakers wince too much. A vacancy doesn't scream out in protest as does a discharged employe. Federal officials estimate 200,000 workers would eventually be eliminated from the payroll by this device. Some observers fear this indiscriminate method of effecting reductions might gravely impair the efficiency of some departments. Nevertheless this plan is not without some merit,- when you consider the need for economy and the politician's reluctance to authorise outright firings. Senator Douglas of Illinois, a careful student of federal economy, suggested the idea some months ago. There's far less to.be said for the other limitation. An arbitrary limit on salaries may actually compel discharges in some vacancies deagencies before money-savin- g on A or travel velop. ceiling printing may be too liberal in one department and too severe in another. Any agency's expenses have to be viewed as part of a whole and related to the agency's general purposes. The decision to reduce specific outlays is the job of congress, which alone can take responsibility for the overall functioning of a department. This amendment passes the buck. Possibly, though, proposals of this character are the best we can look for in a congress that applies great lung power and little action to the economy problem.

I long, folks. ft ft -- One serious handicap of doctors is admitted by the chairman of th board of the American Medical Association, Dr. Louis Pauer. They don't vote. Last year, he told a luncheon meeting in New York City, one midwestern state recorded only 35 self-impos- ed per cent of the doctors as registering to vote. Even this meager showing was worsened at election time, when only 23 per cent actually voted. Physicians i are busy people, with longer working hours than most. Yet they, too, should find time for the duties of citizenship. With so many functions devolving upon the government nowadays, voting has ceased to be a perfunctory job which could be omitted dccasionally with no serious consequences. Voting is one of the most important tasks for everyone. Tra-la-la-la-- la. Merry-go-Rou- nd , Tax Fraud Case of Gambler Mysteriously Stymied; Gambling Thrives In North Carolina WASHINGTON A lot of mystery surrounds case oi a big eastern gambler the income-ta- x that of Vaughn Cannon, the king of Buncombe county, North Carolina. Most people don't realize that North Carolina, despite its record for progressive schools and more churchgoers than most states, also has a thriving gambling racket and has done little to clean it up. Center of the gambling business is Asheville in the western part of the state, and Its big-sh- ot boss, Vaughn Cannon, now to have high- - up friends not only in Northappears Carolina but in Washington. More than one year ago, U. S. tax agents lapped a lien of $1,451,000 on Cannon's property in North Carolina and 'sent a recommendation to Washigton that he be prosecuted for tax fraud. Since then nothing has happened. The case has gathered dust Why remains a mystery- I FALSE RUMORS One reason why was reported to be powerful Congressman Bob Doughton of North Carolina. However, this columnist is convinced this report Is untrue. Apparently, the rumor got started because Doughton is a director of the Northwestern Bank of North Wilkesboro, N. C which has loaned the big gambler up to $60,000 for the purchase of "music machines." Congressman Doughton, when queried, said that he was a director of the Northwestern bank but that he had not intervened with the treasury department to hold up Cannon's income-ta- x case; in fact, had never heard of the matter Lamar Caudle, assistant attorney general of the justice department's tax division, who comes from western North Carolina, also has been getting blamed for delays in the Cannon tax case. Actually,- Caudle has a reputation for letting the chips fall where they may; in addition to which inquiry disclosed that .the justice department had not received the Cannon case. It is still in the hands oi the treasury despite the fact that it received the case on March 14, 1949. - WHY PROBE GAMBLING? Meanwhile Cannon has already received a $3,000 fine and two-yesuspended sentence from the superior court of Asheville for operating gambling joints and being in possession of gambling devices. Meanwhile also. Cannon enjoys a neat little scheme whereby he is palsy-walwith local police authorities. This, incidentally, is one of the big points behind the crime probe of Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. Kefauver, who is not a prudish person, is concerned about the big payoffs that go to local police and judges for gamblers' protection. When police take money from one group, they will also take it from another, and our whole system of law enforcement is undermined. In Asheville, a local police judge, Sam Cathey, is also the registered agent for gambler Vaughn Cannon. Cannon's property, valued at up to $200,000 in Bunpombe couty, is registered "by Sam Cathey, Agent," the same police judge who sits on gambling cases in Asheville. In addition, Marshall J. West, the Asheville city jailer and a member of the city police force, has also been on Vaughn Cannon's payroll. He drew a salary of $150 a month from the big gambler as a building supervisor at the same time he drew a salary from the city as an enforcement officer. slot-machi- - ne I ar sy How city officials can serve two masters at the same time; one interested in law enforcement, the other interested in non-la- w enforcement is difficult to understand. But anyway they seem to get away with it in Asheville, N. C. I TWO BACHELOR SPEAKERS Good old GQP Congressman Rich of Pennsylvania was worried the other day, as usual, over government spending. In one of his regular economy speeches, he told congress that its members were piling up debts that their children and their children's children would have to pay. Then turning dramatically to Speaker Sam Rayburn and Joe Martin, the Republican Rich said: 'And that goes for your children and your grandchildren." ; There was one important point Congressmman Rich overlooked, however. Both Sam Rayburn and Joe Martin are bachelors. MCCARTHY JITTERS Senator McCarthy recently received a letter from Nilkanth "Chavre of Foster, Ohio, who wrote: "The following will show you what alarming confusion you have ' created. I was buying some garden tools at Sears, Roebuck and accidentally picked up a hammer and a sickle at the same time. Knowing them to be emblems on a Russian flag, I quickly let them go thinking such an act might be construed as, communistic by you." NEW TAX BILL As everybody expected election year, the tax bill which the House ways and means committee will unveil about June 1 will be kind and generous to the big political contributors who are expected to sugar the campaign kitties of both parties this fall. Instead of repealing $650,000,000 in excise taxes and providing for $1,000,000,000 of new tax revenue as recommended by President Truman the final tax bill will transpose these figures. In other words, excise taxes will be repealed to the tune of $1,000,000,000 while increased revenues to offset this loss will be roughly 000 just the opposite of what the president requested. Committee members privately admit that the legislation will be a "deficit" bill. To escape this ugly label In the press, the committee reto make it appear port may be window-dresse- d that the deficit can be offset by closing loopholes. Regardless of what the report may say, however, real fact is that closing loopholes won't capture more than $150,000,000 from tax evaders. Other provisions for added revenues likely to be approved by the ways and means committee are: CORPORATION INCOME TAXES A boost of around $265,000,000 derived from a 2 per cent boost (from 38 to 40 per cent) on corporations making more than $119,000 a year. STOCK DIVIDENDS A proposed 10 per cent withholding tax on dividends is expected to add another $150,000,000. However, this will not be new revenue, biit rather a new way of insuring the collection of obligated taxes often evaded. BACK TAXES BY INSURANCE COMPANIES $90,000,000. This also does not represent new revenue, but an old debt that will be collected by tightening the tax laws. er, . in-thi- s tax-evasi- on Once News Now History ' railroad be permitted May 21, 1940 Col.
