"A Newspaper Function Is To Tell The Truth, Not To Run Things"
CONGRESS MUST NOT FAIL
Congress is now working on a measure which wilt have
much to do with determining t he fu ure welfare of every
citizen of this country--and of the country itself. That
measure is the new tax bill.
This bill, as/he New York Times points out in a fine
editorial, "must not only raise a large amount of revenue.
It must raise that revenue in such a way as to safeguard
our economy fro,m the price dislocations intlerent in a re-
armament progra n
"In the case of irtdividua]Ancome taxes, the desired ob-
jectives call for hig+her rates and a broadening of the tax
base so as to include a large nu mber of those citizens now
exempt, who will receive a major portion of the govern-
ment's increased contribution to purchasing power
through higher wages and increased employment. On the
score of excess profits taxes the main question is to devise
basis of taxation that will really hit excess profits, and
those normal profits, already subject to large taxes
,vhich arc essential to the proper maintenance of industry.
The Treasury's suggestibn of a single formula for cal cu-
lating ex3css profits, based on average rate of return on
invested c a,pital, would not accomplish this."
In any time. the power to tax is the power to destroy.
In these disordered times, that power, if misused, can be
infinitely more destructive. If we tax the profits out of
business, it will mean, in the long run, that we tax busi-
ness out of business. It will mean that industry will no
longer have the financial nourishment essential to keeping
it alive. It will mean the collapse of our productive ca-
pacity.
The job of Congress is,to raise revenue, wiVhout endan-
gering the very life of productive industry. The Nation
expects Cor gress not to fail.

When we celebrate this July Fourth let us rededicate our lves to

freedom so that we shall be willing to defend it with our lives, our for-
tunes and our sacred honor. To resolve to do less is but to invite disas-

Cooperative Association recently said this: Farmers can-
not raise defense food at low prices in the face of shortage
of help and rising costs. Far.mers should be patriotic, but
patriotism does not consist of letting labor leaders tie uo
munitions, arms and suoply industries, and expect to get
continually hig,her wages and shorter hours.
Agriculture, in short, can't be expected to make all
sacrifices. They must be shared by other groups. If gen-
erat price levels continue to rise, due to higher labor and
other costs,':price of farm produced goods must follow the
trend.
