The Republicans And Taxes On the face of it, the proposal that the Republicans have tut forth for an income tax reduction looks like nothing nore than a vote-getting plan. In the bill that the House Republicans are planning on lutting before the House, there are three provisions. : The first of these will cut income taxes a full 30 per cent

or persons with incomes of less than $1,000. Now, could the

act that the biggest majority of the American Workers will

ie in this group have anything to do with the large cut; It ould he. , . ' - . The second will cut 20 per cent off of income taxes for hose with incomes from $1,000 to $302,000. This represents mother large portion of the voting public. The third will cut from 19 per cent to 10 per cent from he income taxes for those with incomes over $002,000. This roup, however, will probably vote Republican anyway, so no nge cut was needed to get their vote. It would be a lot better if the income tax was left as it iow is and cut it after another year. , " ,' That way, some of the public .debt could be retired, and hen, when and if, the budget is balanced, the reduced Fedral income wouldn't be too hard on the nation's financial ct-up. ; " . . . ... .. . However, the Republicans face an election in 1948, and

ie teraptation to cut taxes for the purpose of gaining votes too strong. Whether the bill will pass the Senate, or be

assed .over the probable presidential veto is another ques-

The idea is there.' In principal, the Republicans are say-

ng, "We tried to cut taxes, so vote tor us in 1948.

Will they get away with it? ; . ,

Earthquakes At Boulder Dam Made By Man

Checking on Spring

"in America, with the

educated electorate, the propor

tion of citizens who take , the trouble to vote is lower than in any other real democracy." So declares George H. Gallup, director of the American Institute

of Public Opinion, in The Reader's Digest for April. ;

Gen. Mac Arthur's Plan For Japan Genera of the Army MacArthyr embarrassed a lot of oople by calmly suggesting- that .the ' Japanese treaty be igned soon, that American troops depart, and that the Unit-

el Nations maintain thereafter the "mild controls" which he

Uutks would be needed. M?my officials and commentators ave been so busy Explaining wliy the United Nations could iot handle Greece that they must have been taken aback by he suggestion that it take over Japan. ..'

It is a splendid idea nevertheless. Our military occupa-

ion -should end as soon as possible, not as late as we can

tring it cut; and the principle of United Nations supervision, hough not heretofore contemplated with respect to enemy

atiuns, is so sound that no real argument can be advanced

gainst it. The State Department, which apparently did not know

bout Gen. MacArthur's statement until he made it, says that

s a practical and physical matter detailed work on the Japmese treaty cannot be begun until the German treaty is far

her along. There may be something to this, but if conditions .re really ripe for an end to the occupation it would be folly

o postpone the treaty work any longer than necessary. Meaniule there is something that the United Nations, in line with

k'ti. MacArthur's suggestion, might do. It could send a comuission to Japan to report on the beaten enemy's readiness

or a treaty. 1 Gen. MacArtlvur says that the. people are regenerated, i.hat the feudal-militaristic structure of Japanese society has ocn forever reformed, that the military purpose of occupation "to insure that Japan will follow the ways of peace and never again be a menace" has been accomplished. These judgments will gain strength when they rest on more than one individual's or one nation's opinion. There is no reason to delay the subjection of the occupation to the objective judgment of a U.N. commission, reporting for the world. The confirmation of his report by such a commission would be the highest possible tribute to Gen. MacArthur.

By contrast England's last general election had a voting participation 50 per cent greater. In Canada nearly twice as large a proportion cast ballots. Half of

the entire French population voted in their last national election. Even more depressing, Gallup says, is the smaller percentage of voting Americans today than 50 to 100 years ago. Gallup sees two reasons for this increasing lack of interest in the

ballot. The first is that . schools and colleges "fail to give students even a rudimentary knowledge of the workings of their govern

ment." Widespread ignorance

exists on such questions as the number of years in a Representative's term, the names of Sena- -

tors from one's own state and of the Representative from , one's

district. . i

The second reason for apathy

toward the vote "is the incredi

bly Jow plane on which most of

our campaigns are fought. Candidates take leave of - their good

manners, and run up and down

the countryside beating tomtoms and uttering sheer nonsense." . Greater public interest in elections would result, the author thinks, if candidates waged their campaigns on a dignified level. rnstead of calling their opponents names and making promises to every - special minority group, they should make clearly known

their views on controversial questions, for the public is more interested in Issues than in candidates. 1

force of all 4,000 is not more than

Soon after Boulder Dam was completed in 1936, three seismographs were set uy in that area as a precautionary measure to check the settlement of Lake Mead, t.he reservoir created by the. dam' on the Colorado River. Most of the earth tremors occurred within the first few years as the jlake began to fill. Since 1942 the: number has been low. Scientists have estimated that in this, time the lake basin has settled several inches, with respect to the. nearby mountains, Data collected so far at Lake

region, none or which threaten the dam or other important structures. The bureau pointed out that reservoir in the process of filling can cause small quakes only if the load is concentrated over a small area, and at the same time, the underlying rock is already fractured along definite fault lines. , Loading alone will not produce earthquakes, for the extra load of the reservoir water regardless of the size of the lake could not cause new faults. Forces, required to produce a severe earthquake are much greater than the load of any reservoir which man can make, and may occur regardless of reservoir loading, the bureau concluded.

Accident Damage Report Raised -From $25 To $50 INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 25 Increased automotive repair costs and stream-lined car designs are principal reasons for raising the traffic accident reporting law from a $25 minimum to $50, state police reported today. The revised law became effective March 14. Explaining the legislative change, Col. Robert Rossow, department htad, said the amendment to the 1939 motor vehicle act requires that 'the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury or death of any person or lOsaj property damage to an apparpnt extent of $50 or more shall, within 24 hours after such accident, forward a written report of such accident to the (state police) department." ' The $50 minimum, Colonel Rofsow pointed out,' would . include damage to all vehicles and other property damage. The law requires another occupant W file a report if the driver is physically incapacitated. Driving privileges may be revoked for failure to report an accident. "Repair of wrecked cars cost more than the' original ' accident reporting act was enacted," the

police superintendent asserted. "Labor and' parts are higher, and modern automobile construction often results in . ' extensive damage." - , . . . The statute change will cause an estimated reduction of 15 per

cent under the 69,000 accidents and 172.000 .. individual driver's and police reports recorded last year. The department's statistical staff can thus offer an expanded analytical service for police and saf?ty groups, Colonel Rossow explained. . ' . The records are used to guide accident prevention by concenI tration of enforcement, elimina- , tion of physical hazards and. promotion of public education.
