ABOUT AMERICAN AFFAIRS
Tabor City (N.C. Tribune Says:
There is a sort of puzzle going
round about excess profit taxes.
In Washington the Joint House
of Congress passed a three bil
lion dollar bill under the name
of Excess Profits—even though
it was a billion dollars less than
the amount requested by the
man in the White House. Bear
in mind that this bill grabs
profits from all sources it can
reasonably lay its hands on. Un
der the House Bill it is estimated
that only 18 per cent of ail non
financial corporations will be
subjected to excess profits tax
ation. Evidently there arc a lot
of corporations whose profits
are declining.
Fairfield (Iowa Ledger Says:
. . . On state and national lev
els, the people require two per
manently organized political
* 11 ijllff 1 ' Itf I M ill II
ae;
parties-—one for and the other
against certain paramount is
sues. By having legislative and
congressional elections every
two years, the sovereign people
are given the opportunity to ex
press their desires frequently.
In the case of coalition, the
voters have few, if any, ways of
knowing whether their desires
on paramount issues will be
respected.
Loudonville (Ohio) Times Says:
A proposal has been made to
set up 10 more holidays. That
does it! With the bite on us be
coming more and more severe
and 3 0 more holidays, even if a
fellow made a little money the
bank would be closed when he
wanted to deposit it.
The fellow who says he would
rather play the horses than cat—
usually ends up doing just that.

The if if
(liadfc J'/tacIcci
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
I Being the double victim this
week of an invisible bug and a ,
treacherous sheet of ice, my |
body reached the limit of en
durance just before time to[
make up this column. Aliow me, !
then, to substitute the work of
an editorialist much more cap
able than I, which particularly
is apt at this time.
I Taken from the Merchantville
(N. J.) Community News, an
editorial entitled: “Whaddaya
Mean, Rich Uncle?”
Publicists for government bu
reaus cannot be blamed for try
ing to inject some “color' into
their releases to make them
I readable. They should, however,
stick to facts. We find an article
from the Social Security office
, beginning with, “Uncle Sam
proved to be a veritable rich
I uncle to New Jersey in the fiscal
year of 1950.” Then follows the
report that the Federal Security
, Agency distributed $47,883,001
in the state during the year.
But it wasn’t ‘ rich old Uncle
Sam” who was handing out his
own money. What he did was
to pay beneficiaries out of the
i funds they had been saving—
1 and retaining a nice chunk of
| the whole for his own enjoy
ment.
The publicist in this case may
be a relic of Rooseveltism; a left
over from the era of acute Santa
; Clausing. It is hard to break
the practice of saying: “Look,
i dear people, what your generous
government is giving you (And
we hope you’ll show your grati
tude at the next election.)”
Uncle Sam is a swell guy,
collectively—when he includes
us who fill his purse. As a fig
ure representing the govern
ment, he is a person with little
i regard for the future, and he
will spend all we turn over to
him, more or less recklessly, if
we don’t keep strict tabs on him.
The publicist wiio wants us
to be grateful for having some
of our own money returned to
I us should remember that he
wouldn’t get his salary if we
evt r stopped buying bonds to
help finance Uncle Sam’s bu
reaus.
