President John G. Heller Vice President Chas. E. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer Is An Income Tax Fair? .1; 5 _ We received an interesting letter this, morning by a “shocked” reader who just couldn’t understand why we would say that the federal net income tax is the fairest tax we have. There might have been misunderstanding on this. What we meant was that a graduated net income tax is the fairest TYPE of tax, not that the present federal net income tax is necessarily so fair. Your feeling on this will be governed by two things: how much tax you pay, and your political philosophy. Most people are selfish enough to wish that they paid less taxes — regardless of how much tax they pay, or how mtfch they earn. This is normal, pre-Christian human nature. Now if you believe in any government at all — that is, if you are not an anarchist —- you believe that government is necessary. Corollary to this is paying for that government. We would all disagree on just how much* government is necessary, but this should not effect the question of HOW it should be paid for. Now, should everyone pay equally, regardless of how much they earn, or by how much they benefit from the system of ‘government? Curiously enough, the extreme left and right wings both believe that taxation should fall equally on individuals, rather than on the amount they earn. The extreme left feels that each individual should be earning the same as all others, and there should be no legal persons or corporations. The extreme rightist, of course, is merely trying to shift the burden of the cost of gevernment from corporations and the wealthy to sharing it equally with the poor. We favor a graduated net income because those who earn the most under our system then pay for that privilege, while those who by lack of initiative or education or training earn little, or who are out of work through no cause of their own, or who are too sick to work, — pay less in total and less in per cent of income. Few unselfish thinking people do not feel this way. We agree with press secretary Pierre Salinger when he says that administration economists feel that the balance of gold payments problem is far more serious than a deficit budget. He pointed out that Pres. Eisenhower in 1958 had proposed a budget for that year that would have been balanced by half a billion, but that a recession caused the budget to be out of balance some ten billion dollars. We favor a tax cut, and a deficit budget,Mo keep our economy pnOving foreward. But we favor a tax cut on the lower end, not the upper end of the tax picture. We favor bigger exemptions for the little taxpayer, not huge tax cuts for those who now pay 50% taxes — and earn $50,000 a year — even after taxes. We feel that as long as the little taxpayers, the millions of them, have plenty of money to spend, the big taxpayers will be able to figure some way of producing and selling enough to get the money from theml Editorial written by __ Dick Heller

U. S. Bishops Split In Council Debate

VATICAN CITY (UPD—U.S. bishops at the Ecumenical Council split three ways today in a vigorous debate over a proposal to grant ecclesiastical law-making powers to church groups like the U.S. National Catholic". Welfare Conference (NCWC). James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles vehehemently opposed the entire idea as a threat to papal supremacy. Joseph Cardinal Ritter of St. Louis indorsed it as an effective way to promote decentralization of authority in the Catholic Church. . Albert Cardinal Meyer of Chicago, speaking for**l2o of the approximately 160 U.S. bishops at the council, took a middle position. He said national conferences of bishops should have authority to adopt binding legislation on matters which have been delegated to them by the Pope for decision. Stresses Voluntary Aspect Cardinal Mclntyre, one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, said he favors national conferences of bishops only if they are completely voluntary’, like the NCWC at present, and have no power whatever to force any individual bishops to abide by their decisions. Cardinal**"'Ritter, one of the •most liberal U.S. prelates, told the council that “it is false”. to assert that the national conferences would amount to an intervening authority between the Popb »ahd Individual' bishops. — He said concerted action on the part of all the bishops of a country is an imperative necessity in these days, especially on social and moral problems-.

it stands. Before taking .up the controversial proposal concerning national conferences of bishops, the council fathers concluded debate on another hotly disputed section of the document which deals with retirement of bishops when they become too old to run their dioceses. As it now stands, the document merely exhorts bishops to retire at age 75 and promises them adequate financial pensions and full honors in retirement. Leo Cardinal Suenens of Belgium urged amendment of the document to make retirement mandatory at 75. He said no bishop can be expected to be a good judge of when he is too old to job. Critics have said they • feared the proposal to give lawmaking powers to national bodies of bishops, if approved, would undermine papal supremacy and subject local bishops to the will of the national body. The issue is contained in chapter three of the document on bishops and the government of dioceses. Many of the council fathers appeared ready to cut off discussions Monday on chapter two, which dealt with the role of co-adjutor and auxiliary bishop. It proposed that bishops might be retired at the age of 75. Chapter three proposes that national , hierarchies of bishops, united, in what are called “episcopal -conferences,” should have the power to make decisions and laws binding on all individual bishops. ———— — — Such episcopal conferences are relatively new in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. They have had only informal and unofficial recognition from the Vatican, and at time have been discouraged in official circles. Although 45 national and regional groups of bishops have formed conferences, over half of them in the last decade, they cannot make laws. Their decisions are only morally binding bn members. James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of LoS Angeles, regarded as a conservative, said last week that episcopal conferences with juridical status would cause “anxiety and danger." OVEREATING CAUSE GAS?

Grand Jury To Probe Columbia City Slaying COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. (UPI) —Prosecutor Edward J. Meyers, Jr., today planned to call a Whitley County grand jury to investigate the rifle slaying of Mrs. Florence K. Miller, 45, a farmwife - telephone operator whose daughter confessed Monday she killed her mother. The confession of Miss Linda Ann Miller, 20, a Fort Wayne optical firm office worker and errand girl, that she fired a rifle bullet into the back of her mother’s head as Mrs. Miller watched television in her farm--house living room, came a few hours before the funeral. Linda unfolded the story when her uncle, Orland Ormsby, ,visited her Monday morning in her Fort Wayne apartment and con- ' fronted her with his opinion 1 that “you have something on> your mind.” Ormsby telephoned pol i c ell when Linda responded by admit-■

ting the slaying and telling Orrpsby she had “entertained the idea before." ..Authorities quoted the girl as saying she resented, her mother’s domination of her even after she left home and went to work several weeks previously. She said she was required to come home weekends and work on the farm while three other children in the family received privileges. Linda also told authorities she wanted to buy a car. but her mother refused permission. The slaying occurred in a farmhouse featured in a recent monthly publication of the Whitley County REMC as a model farm. The girl said she left work at noon last Thursday, borrowed a car from an auto sales lot, parked on a country road out of sight of the Miller farmhouse, shot her mother with her father’s gun, sneaked back to the car and returned to Fort Wayne. Then she telephoned her employer and told him she had fallen downstairs and couldn’t return to work that day, took the car back to the lot, changed clothes in her apartment and calmly took a business course lesson before she was notified by relatives in a phone call that her mother had , been killed.

Earth Satellite Is Launched By Russia MOSCOW (UPD—The Soviet Union today announced it had launched an unmanned artificial earth satellite Monday and preliminary data showed it is operating close to its prescribed orbit. The official Soviet news agency Tass identified the satellite as Cosmos 21. “Scientific equipment ha s been installed in the sputnik to continue the exploration of outer space in conformity with the -» program announced by Tass on March 16,” the news agency said. Tass then said the Cosmos series of space vehicles was designed to study radiation and communication and prepare the way for further manned flights. Tass said Cosmos 21 was “put on an orbit close to the designed orbit.” It said the space vehicle initially completes a journey around the earth once every 88.5 minutes at a maximum distance from the earth of 142.1

miles and a minimum distance of 120.9 miles. The orbit’s angle to the plane of the equator is 64 degrees 50 minutes, Tass said. “The sputnik has radio systems for the exact measurement of the elements -of the orbit and radio telemetric instruments for transmitting to the earth data on the work of the scientific instruments on board,” it added.
