The Reds always. have Introduction in Congress last week of identical bills authorizing the Administration te proceed with its proposal: for partnership development of Trinity River Project power, removed the last barrier of any reasonable dimension to that sensible, tax-saving plan. The bills, offered by Congressman James B. Charles S. Gubser, differ from previous measures: only in a provision giving the federal government the right to take over the power facilities at their depreciated cost in the unlikely-event that such action should be dictated-by exigencies arising in the San Lais project operation. With that concession granted—a concession readily agreed to by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which would build the power facilities—only the badly ideological opposition of such dedicated federal ownership advocates as Senator Clair Engle remains in the way of a measure that would save the federal government an immediate $60 million in construction costs, would channel $175 million into the Central Valley Project; and would provide $145 million in federal, state and local taxes, over a 50-year period. _If the public ownership zealots persist in their opposition now, they must do so with their true socialistic faces bared to the taxpaying public. dently—tthat Congress at last will be guided by the taxpayers’ welfare and get things moving on the Trinity.

Unions failing to comply would lose income tax exemption and certified bargaining status. Barden’s proposal is titled “The Labor Bill of Rights Act of 1959,” and is labeled as “a bill to wrest control of these unions from gangsters, hoodlums and racketeers; and to restore to the workers the right to control the affairs of their unions.” j Another Barden measure would crack down on secondary boycott, hot cargo and blackmail picketing abuses. ; set: 2 On the money front, the Herlong-Baker bill ‘in the House puts into words what a lot of thoughtful economists have been thinking.

The arguments, pro and con, specific unification plans are proposed, always remain in the realm of pure theory.

From Washington, Senator — the much heralded federal highway program is creaking badly and may break down completely unless new funds are raisesd. The Senator says he will support the eral gasoline taxes -in order to prop up the project. i In Sacramento, State Senator Richard Richards indicated the other day that a one-cent increase in state gas taxes was just ar6und the corner when he said he would ask an interim committee to study the request for such-an increase _ made by some 40 counties. And the Governor has proposed a two per cent severance tax on oil, asking the oil industry to “accept its share of the cost of government” just like “the consumer” — although obviously the consumer would pay this tax, too, in the long run. oN.
