TAX REDUCTION BILL WOULD SAVE HOOSIERS 372.000,000 IN 1943 Savings to Indiana individual taxpayers in 1948 under proposed Federal income tax reduction legislation would reduce the total tax burden in Indiana by an amount about equal to that which would be saved taxpayers by repealing the Indiana gross income tax, the new cigarette tax. and all State government property and poll taxes. Congressional committee estimates place the total savings to Hoosiers under the tax reduction bill at more than $72,000,000. The gross income tax in Indiana fs yielding approximately $55 million annually, the new cigarette tax 5 revenue is estimated at $9 million, and property and poll taxes collected for State purposes are somewhat more than $6.5 million. The State Chamber Board of Directors, In a resolution adopted this week and sent to members of Congress and the President, urged enactment of individual tax reduction at this session, even though the cuts would not be effective until January 1, 1948. The resolution stressed the fact that advance knowledge of tax reduction will enable taxpayers better to make plans for operation of their affairs, and that if tax reduction is left to the next session, legislation probably could not be enacted for several months after the beginning of the year. The resolution also pointed out that Congressional and other tax experts were confident that income tax rates could be lowered and substantial reduction still be made in the Federal debt. It was added that .at the next session Congress should immediately begin deliberations on tax policy with a view to improving any legislation that might be enacted now. Statistics show that income taxpayers with incomes of less than $3,000 a year now must work about 17 days each year to earn enough to pay their taxes; those with incomes of $83,000 to $65,000 work 36 days to pay taxes; the next group, up to $lO,000. work 52 days; SIO,OOO to $25,000, 81 days; $25,000 to $30,000. 126 days; $50,000 to $250,000. 176 days; $250,000 and over. 230 days. Some 63% of the total tax reduction proposed in the present Congress would go to taxpayers with net incomes under $5.00” a year. Why, in view of these facts, have the national labor leaders and those in Indiana who profess such a great interest in the •'common man” not put forth any effort to do something constructive for their members by working for tax reduction, which is equivalent to an increase in their spendable income or their savings? Kosciusko County taxpayers would save an estimated $453.000 in 1948. if the reduction bill is passed. Hope for cancer cure? Absolutely yest Read the facts. See the article by Dr. Roscoe K.

The railroads have received 44 “rules” demands from the leaders of the operating unions . . . representing engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. They say they are seeking only changes in working conditions—NOT a wage increase. More Money For Less Work But what kind of rules are being asked for? Twenty-eight of them would compel railroads to pay more money for the same, or less work; 7 would require additional and unnecessary men to do the same work: the rest would bring about changes in operating practices at increased cost. For instance: The Union leaders demand additional train and engine crews on Diesel-pow-ered trains—one full crew for every power unit in the locomotive. A freight train hauled by a 4-unit Diesel would have to carry 4 engineers, 4 firemen, 4 conductors, and at least 8 brakemen, or a total of 20 men instead of 5. tf Made Work”-Sheer Waste The Union leaders demand that fulllength freight trains be cut to about half their length, even though such trains are most efficient for low-cost service to you. This rule would call for twice as many locomotives, would double the number of trains, and make accidents more likely. Additional equipment, yards, and other facilities required to take care of these short trains would cost hundreds of millions. What the Union leaders reaUy want is to make more jobs. The Union leaders demand that when a crew in one class of service perform incidental service of another class, they will be paid not less than a day’s pay for each class, even though all service is performed as a part of the same day’s

ductors and trainmen be reduced from 150 to 100 miles, which would have the effect of increasing their pay 50%. Such a run often takes only two or three hours! You Can't Afford This Waste Demands tike these are against the interests of the whole American people, w ho depend on railroad service for nearly everything they eat, wear and use. These rules would cost a billion dollars annually—a gigantic waste which neither the railroads nor the country can afford. Railroad workers are good citizens and good employes, with pride in their calling. Tiieir record during the war was outstanding. We do not believe they fully understand the “featherbed” rules which the Union leaders are demanding. We do not believe they understand the harmful results which these rules would have to the railroad industry, to the millions of men and women dependent on railroads for their livelihood, and to the shipping and consuming public. The great strength of America is in production—an honest day's work for an honest day’s pay. For only through greater production can we hope to stop the steady upward surge of living costs. Surely, if ever there was a time In our history when we needed to works not waste, this is it.
