McGovern Needed: hope for profit. NAM Leader Presses for Tax Reform The president of the Association of Manufacturers urged corporate and in dividual tax reform as a means of stirring a sluggish national economy. IN AN ADDRESS to the an nual conference of Intermoun-tai- n Industry Wednesday night at the Hotel Utah, John W. McGovern' said that "hope for profit," the prime force in motivating business, had been withering over the years in a squeeze between a high federal income tax rate structure on one hand and a monopolistic labor movement on the other. Na-tion- al IN CALLING for tax reform, McGovern outlined the provisions of the Herlong Baker bill which would reduce all tax rates in five annual steps. At the end of the period, the maximum rate paid by individual or corporation would be 47 per cent Mr. TURNING TO the position of labor in the economy, Mr. McGovern said: The solution (to the wage price problem) must be one which will remove the governmental favoritism which now accords the unions a sheltered monopoly position, but which does not impair the rights of employes to organize and bargain. QUA LIFTING HIS position, he said that monopolistic policy by some labor unions prevents full employment by forcing prices up and purchases down. And by forcing profits down or eliminating them, employers cannot expand. This policy opens the way to foreign imports, especially during strikes, and experience has shown that once foreign competitors receive orders from an American industrys customers there is a good chance that they will continue to serve the customers they have gained. MR McGOVERN, retiring president of the United States Rubber Co., is on a series of speaking engagements in the West. He joined U.S. Rubber some 40 years ago. Royden G. Derrick, president of the Utah Manufacturers Assn., which sponsored the dinner meeting, reviewed the state of Utahs economic health. The diagnosis: Good.
