Congressmen know, as a recent Gallup poll attested, that ‘‘in the United States public sentiment is not only overwhelmingly opposed to government ownership of railroads, banks and electric power companies, but is even less in favor of the idea than a few years ago.” Despite that, the director of power utilization of the bu-. reau was recently quoted as dclaring: “the bureau should: now assume the responsibility for supplying, in so far as possible, all additional power needs wherever it has present and potential possibilities for the generation and transmission of the needed power.

MR. TRUMAN’S TAKE HOME PAY When President Truman returns to private life, he may find the sheriff auctioning off his Missouri home to’a host of i. creditors, according to the facts of a Collier's Magazine article by Jonathan Daniels, former White House press secretary. Income taxes take $47,000 of the president’s $75.000 salary—leaving him $28,000. That sum, plus expense allowance, is more than swallowed up by irreducible presidential exvenses. A term in office will put Mr. Truman $100,Q00 in debt. says Mr. Daniels. ; That situation is shamefully unfair to the president. And it is unfair to the nation that only-men with private fortunes, such as Roosevelt and Hoover, can actually afford to serve as chief executive. : It is curious to note, however, that Mr. Truman could get by if it weren’t for that tax gulp of 2-3s of his salary. Just as millions of his countrymen, likewise tax staggered, could look forward to paying for new homes, autos, pleasure trips and luxuries in the next few years—if the tax collectors would go easier on their take home pay. The war debt must be shouldered, to be sure. Yet war debt financing isn’t the major tax burden facing America. The real specter is a swollen, snow balling trend to unparalleled peace time extravagance by government. Federal non war spending has hit a record high—a 15 billion a year clip. New proposals for spending far beyond the nation’s ability to pay —extended social security, national compulsory health plans and other paternalistic ideas adding up to the financially impossible—clog legislative hoppers. Unless government makes a rightabout turn toward economy, in time none of us will be able to spread income over both taxes and living costs. [ In light of these circumstances, President Truman. whose ‘plight differs from the general only in degree, might lead most appropriately in initiating governmental economy.— i Contributed. : ' STRIKE BOUND SANTA It won't be the fault of ald Santa this year if he and his. ‘reindeer must travel light, without nearly enough of the long‘ed for new radios, refrigerators, electric irons, gay gadgets ‘to go around.
