The New Deal is currently manifesting heart-breaking
solicitude for the little fellows in the business world. If motivated by something more than fear for 1940, this is laudable,
if belated. But if it is the type of New Deal “cooperation
with big business, the little fellows may devoutely pray to be
delivered from their “‘friends.”’ ae
Small business has every reason to be skeptical of this
sudden New Deal interest. And this skepticism will not be
opoly Committee which involved economic theories which
are Greek to the small business man.
The little fellow knows that the New Deal long since
could have bettred his lot by revision of the intricate Federal
“tax structure. He knows that the President has consistently
refused ‘to take the lead in this. He also knows that even at
this late day the President has done nothing more than to
“consent” reluctantly to tax revision when pressure from
business and the Congress made any other course impossible.
Business men, big and little, are not opposed 'to an equitable corporation tax. They have become familiar with it; they
find it relatively simple and easy to compute. But they are
heavily burdened when on top of the corporation income tax
‘they are required to compute and file returns on an undistributed profits tax, a capital stock tax, an excess profits tax,
an unemployment compensation tax, and old age pension insurance tax and various sales and nuisance excises and other
Jevies, Federal, state and local.
Because of the complicated Federal tax requirements,
the heads of large corporations find it necessary to keep lawyers and accountants at their elbows and consult them on
nearly every management decision.
Many medium-sized corporations spend more money on
pay in taxes.
The real “‘little fellows’ can’t afford all of this extra highpriced help. They have to do their own wrestling with the
multitude of tax problems and returns — and that doesn’t
business. pie hy
gations which get nowhere. They are demanding the removal
of obvious handicaps NOW !—Contributed.
Plain Arithmetic
only the ridicule of New Dealers who prate incessantly but
vaguely of economic security, it was the objective of many
Americans to save as much.as $1,000 for a rainy day. Some
measure of their success may be found in statistics which show
that the avings banks today have 45,000,000 depositors and
that the average balance is $550.
: The ambition of a sizeable, if smaller, number of the
thrifty was to accumulate life savings that could be safely invested to assure an annual income of $1,000 for old age.
This goal was within the reach of the mechanic, the farmer, the business man and the professional man in 1920 if he
had, through a lifetime of toil, been able to save about $1 7,300. That amount, invested in government bonds, would have
produced an income of $1,000 a year. _
But today at the present. rate of return, the saver would
have to have $43,000 to invest in Government bonds to produce the $1,000 income. e
Why is it just 2/4 times as hard today for the thrifty to
provide a nest egg for old age as it was in 1920? The answer
is obvious: New Deal borrowing of billions in conjunction
with policies which have paralyzed enterprise and dried up the
demand of ponies for new capital has eliminated competion
in the money market and has driven the interest rate down to
@ point where some Government issues yield less than onetenth of one per cent.—Contributed.

“SCOOP” THURMAN
. AT THE STATE CAPITOL
At last the budget is out of the
WAY, approved ‘by both houses and
iby the time this paper goes to press
it will undoubtedly have been signed by the governor. The total decrease in the budget as originally
presented by ‘the
governor amounts
to approximately
$15,000,000. With
the budget out of
the iway it is likeA ly that the ad=. journment can now
f be set for either
f June 15 or 17.
Joint rules of
e ; the Senate and
A. G. Thurman Assembly require
. two weeks to finish up the business
budget, This ‘week the. various revenue measures are being heard in the
lower house. Undoubtedly the eco.
for cutting down the budget will op‘pose some of the revenue measures
in an endeavor to keep down taxes.
Several bills affecting the rural
area and which if they had passed
. ;would have lbeen injurious to the
. Sixth Assembly District in particular
were defeated on the floor of the
. assembly last week. Your representative opposed these measures in the
debate on the floor. Among these bills
was one by Assemblyman Dills, a
school teacher from Southern California. This ‘bill proposed a board of
three members ;to be appointed by
the governor to set-up a voluntary
wage scale for agriculture. Your assemblyman took the lead in the fight
against this bill with the statement
that until the farmer could be guaranteed a price for his product it was
inconsistent to pass a llaw which
would set up any such ‘board to declaims against the contractor. The
bill lost by a vote of 40 to 265.
Still another bill which would have
added to the tax burden of the state
and counties, A. B. 1151 by Atkinson was defeated actually three times last week due to reconsiderations.
This ‘bill would have amended the
school code. It would have granted
teachers who were absent for five
school months or less due to illness,
to ‘be paid ifull pay for the first six
days of their absence and at the rate
of $3,00 per day thereafter. On none
of the roll call did the bill receive
more than 25 favorable votes.
A bill sponsored iby the Farm Bureau ‘which would permit farmers to
slaughter animals from their own
herd and sell to retailers was passed
iby the lower house last week. Your
representative supported this bill
which was introduced by Assemblyman Schwallish of Richmond. ‘The
bill was opposed by the large city

termine the wage scale the farmer
should pay. Other assemblymen including Seth Millington of Gridley
Sacramento
opposed the bill during the debate.
The bill lost by a vote of 21 ayes to
44 nays.
Last Friday another bill affecting
the rural counties was defeated. Assemblyman Charles Weber of Stockton, a civil engineer, endeavored to
pass bill in the lower house requiring counties to employ engineers instead of county surveyors. The various rural representatives opposed
the bill with the result that it lost
by the following vote: ayes 19, nays
