Federal Income Tax Is Now 50 Years Old

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - This is the birthday month of the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the graduated income tax amendment. The tax is 50 years old. You wouldn’t believe how lightly tiie income tax flicked the pocketbook in the first years after President Woodrow Wilson began to collect it. President Kennedy is the ninth in that office to be confronted with the income tax riddle. Die correct answer is a distribution of the tax burden or of tax deductions fair and satisfactory to all hands. It can’t be done. Like it or not, the graduated income tax is here to stay. It has a sinister past. It has been described as a tax system based on the fair proposition of ability to pay. But it was proposed originally by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto as a tax for the redistribution of wealth. By reason of its graduated rates close to the level of confiscation, the income tax has become in the United States a technique for wealth distribution. Hney Long’s Strategy Die late Sen. Huey P. Long came to Washington more than 30 years ago, braying his campaign slogan: Every man a king! Redistribution of wealth was basic in Huey’s political strategy. He was selling something for nothtag and in exchange he got votes. Huey might have been elected president if he had lived. FDR .was in the White House and he sought to check Huey with some New Deal wealth distribution. Long’s redistribution of wealth ballyhoo was gaining such a following that it was almost in a mood of panic that FDR sent his own tax revision program to Congress in June, 1935. Die business community was shocked and frightened but during the remaining years in office, FDR stood firm for the tax philosophy that sh&k>the tycoons. fimnedy now is withdrawing somewhat from the redistribution ot wealth idea in taxation. He is saying now what the business community tried to tell FDR in 1935 and thereafter: Diat confiscatory tax rates in the upper brackets- would discourage initiative and, discourage the use of risk

capital and, in short, put a brake on the economy. How Rates Increased _ In the first year of the income tax, 1913, a married person with two dependents and a $5,000 net income paid $lO. At SB,OOO the bite was S4O, rising to S6O on the SIO,OOO family; $260 on $25,000; $2,510 on $100,000; $25,010 on $500,000. Times have changed. Wars and the welfare state boosted taxes over the years until the $5,000 family was paying $577. Die tax ranged from there to $411,224 on $500,000. A 1942 revenue law boosted the bite on $500,000 to $443,000 and the trend through all brackets continued up except for one Eisenhower administration tax cut. '’Ke record over the years as compiled by the Internal Revenue Service shows income taxes generally rising sharply under Democratic administrations and declining under Republicans—not merely declining for the rich folks, but for the little guys, too. For example-’ The famfly man with $5,000 net who paid Democrat Woodrow Wilson $lO back there in 1913, paid only $3 to Herbert Hoover’s Republican tax collectors in 1929. The 1913 tax of S4O on SB,OOO was down to sl4. But the SIOO,OOO family tax was up from $2,510 to $14,846 in 1929. The $500,000 family was up from $25,010 to $110,846. Kark Marx’s redistribution of wealth was here to stay.

Sterilising Jars Most of us have been taught to sterilize jars and jelly glasses and battles by boiling. An easier method is to wash, rinse, and drain the containers, then put them into a cold oven and set at 250 degrees. Sterilize them at this temperature for 10 minutes, turn off the gas, and leave the containers in the oven until you need them. They will stay hot for a long time. Kitchen Work Space Provide more working space in your kitchen by fitting your range with a top made from 3/16-inch tempered hardboard. Put handling holes in two of the corners, and then enamel it to suit the kitchen decor. Add some rubber feet if your range top has projections that would prevent the hardboard top from lying flat.

Controversial Bills Appear To Be Doomed By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — With the legislative session nearly half over, many controversial bills appeared today to be doomed to defeat. Most of these measures will die in committees, but a few may perish on the floors of the Senate or House. Death seems to be in store for two divergent labor bills. One would repeal the “right to work’’ law and the other would abolish the agency shop which forces employers to collect union dues. The Republican majority lawmakers also are certain to slaughter a Democratic gerrymander measure which would shuffle congressional district county membership to the detriment of the GOP A rocky road likewise appears to be in store for the measure to authorize shooting of the mourning dove, although such bunting is legal in 27 states. It’s dollars to doughnuts that Governor Welsh’s pet bill to finance the Indiana port, two bridges over the Ohio River and the Monroe Reservoir with a tax increase from 3 to 6 cents per pack of cigarettes will go down the drain. However, a cigarette tax hike may be utilized to help balance the budget in the dying days of the General Assembly in all likelihood. There appears to be no probability that the legislators will abolish capital punishment. Oblivion also seems to loom for a measure that would enable the governor to serve two successive terms in 12 years. Democratic Gov. Henry F. Schricker was the only man ever elected twice as governor, but four years intervened between his two terms. Other dead bills, according to legislative observers, would: —Create stiff regulations for changes of judges in civil cases, which is being fought by a big lobby of insurance companies and lawyers who practice in counties adjoining big-city counties. —The so - called “Liberty Amendment’’ for repeal of the federal income, inheritance and gift taxes and to prevent the Washington authorities from competing with private business. —Hike the minimum wage to $1.25 an hour with time and onehalf for labor over 40 hours a week. —Let cities and towns impose a surtax on the gross income levy only after a referendum. —A possible future bill to legalize pari-mutuel betting on horse races. —Any huge increase in the appropriations for the four state, universities and colleges.

Korea Is Important As Stepping Stone

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst The American-trained and equipped 650,000-man army of the Republic of Korea is the strongest anti-Communist military force remaining on the continent of Asia. It further is stated U.S. policy that “the independence of the Republic of Korea is vital to the peace of the world and it remains the unshakable policy of the U.S. government to help maintain that independence.” Strategically, Korea is an important stepping stone between Red China and Japan. For these reasons the pains being suffered by the Republic of Korea as it attempts to return from military to civilian government are worthy of attention and also some consternation. A Military Junta At the moment, the Republic of Korea, more popularly known as South Korea, is ruled by a military regime which seized power in a pre-dawn coup on May 16, 1961. It is headed by Gen. Park Chung-Hee who has promised presidential elections and a return to civilian rule by Aug. 15 of this year. A dangerous rift among Korean military men with opposing ideas about Korea’s political future came into the open in late January and was patched over only

New Hotels Spring Up In Washington By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — New hotels have been springing up in the capital recently in gay profusion, like buttercups. I don’t know why so many people decided almost simultaneously to build a hotel here, but I am glad they did for it has made the winter seem more bearable. Even under normal conditions, competition in the hotel business is rather intense. When you have five or six new ones opening virtually in concert, it gets to be a hit like a Roman holiday. In vying with each other for public attention, they have done about everything except feed bellhops to the lions. Each new hotel must make some sort of bid for distinction and this has led to a plethora of so-called “novel features.” In an earlier dispatch on this subject, I expressed concern lest some hotel builoer become so intent on providing “novel features” he would forget to provide any bedrooms. Thus far, that hasn’t happened, but the struggle for uniqueness among the hostile hostels has been awesome to behold. At the moment I am being awed, and maybe even overawed, by the debut of a new caravansary called the Madison. Its claim of distinction is based on something the management describes as “restrained elegance.” This, of course, sets it apart from the other new hotels, where the elegance is more or less unrestrained. Among the Madison’s novel features are heated towel racks. I assume they are what the management means in saying that the hotel is “opulent” without being “obtrusive.” If it had been striving for obtrusive opulence, it undoubtedly would have provided both hot and cold towel racks. It could even have gone a step further and put in some lukewarm towel racks. I wouldn’t attempt to judge the comparative opulence of the new hotels, but I will credit the Madison with putting out the most opulent press kit I have ever seen. An indexed brochure whose compartments are held together by a gold cord, it is about the size of the Mona Lisa and ranks in sheer tonnage with the federal budget. Among its contents is a booklet that advises guests of the hotel what they should wear when invited to the White House and how they should address the President and his wife. An invitation to the White House isn’t included with your room, however. So that leaves at least one novel feature available for the next new hotel. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Went ads — they get BIG results.

Iby the personal intervention of General Park. But the patchwork was thin and held out the prospect of more difficulties to come. Center of the most recent controversy was a retired brigadier general named Kim Chong Pil, who left the army early in January to become chairman of the organizing committee of the new Democratic Republican party. This is the party by which General Park and other members of the military government hope to replace their military uniforms with civilian attire and enter the new government as civilians. Opposition came from two powerful voices. One was retired marine corps Lt. Gen. Kim Dong-Ha. Another was the regime’s former prime minister, retired Lt. Gen. Song Yo-Chang. Denounce Party Leader Both denounced Kim Chong Pil as having a personal lust for power, and General Song also demanded that General Park give up his own plans tn se*k th* presidency. — Chong Pil, while never a member of the ruling junta, nevertheless was one. of the closest men to Park, and through control of Korea’s secret police, was rated the No. 2 man in the military regime. He also is married to Park’s niece. Aside from being one of Korea’s most feared men, he is credited with being the brains behind nearly all of the regime’s major programs. Rousing the ire of opponents both inside and outside the armed forces was the charge that Chong Pil had used the secret police to set up his own political machine and had placed his own men in party posts. Chong Pil pleaded he had been “misunderstood,” and when the chips were down General Park came to his rescue. . The military regime’s plans to restore civilian government may springMorm motives pure as the driven snow. But right now not many would bet on the success of their political opposition.

Problem Is Posed By Council Hall

By RAY MOSELEY United Press International VATICAN CITY (UPI) — Th Ecumenical Council fathers are going home, but they are leaving a reminder that they will be back. The reminder is the huge, resplendent council hall built within St. Peter’s Basilica for their deliberations. Five months of labor went into the creation of the hall which was only completed the evening before the council opened on Oct 11. To tear it down now and rebuild it before the council comes back next Sept. 8 would be a prohibitively expensive job. So the hail will stay at least another year, and possibly longer, depending on how long the council takes to complete its work. From a visitor’s standpoint, this can be either good or bad. The thousands of tourists and pilgrims who come to this huge church, particularly in the spring and summer months, will have an opportunity to get a first-hand

look ait an Ecumenical Council workshop, something available only about nee every 100 years. But they won’t be able to see the church itself as its builders meant it to be seen—and as a result many may fail to appreciate its awesome beauty. For visitors who plan to come to St Peter’s for Christmas or next Easter, the hall poses a particular problem. Normally 35,000 or more people crowd into the church on Easter Sunday morning for a mass officiated by the Pope. With the council hall there, far fewer will be able to get inside. The hall, composed primarily of two long banks of seats which face each other across the central aisle of the church, fills the great nave of St. Peter’s almost from the front door to the main altar. During the afternoons, when the council has not been in session, only the two side aisles and the transept have been open to visitors. When the council is meeting, with more than 2,000 fathers seat-

ed in their scarlet and Violet robes against a background of red and green velvet, the council hall is a magnificent spectacle—but one that is available to the public only through photographs, since council sessions are closed. When the fathers are not meeting the spectacle is rather drab. The banks of seats shut off light 1 and air from the side aisles, and ’ presents only its dreary backside to visitors as they enter the ’ statues—including Michelangelos : church and walk along the aisles. But most of the 45 altars, 390 “Pieta”—and countless delicate , mosaics are still visible. * I Household Scrapbook I . | By Roberta Lee ’ Loose Wallpaper If some of your wallpaper comes away from the wall, mix a thin ’ paste of flour and water which > can be picked up in a medicine ■ dropper.
