INCOME TAX TIME
It seems that income tax time
comes too early each year, and
I that time is here again. A new
Farmer's Income Tux Guide is
available from the County
Agent’s office. This guide cl is-1

able.

was drinking coffee in

In the forthcoming session of
Congress, it seems almost obvi-
ous that some action will have
to be taken on the matter of
unions.

situation which >
could easily
mislead.
• • *
Of course,
thu.-o who hold
to tiiis belief
point to the de-
feat of the so-
called “right c. W. Harder
t i work" measures in many
states. Yet, it would appear to
be quite fallacious to bace all
actions on these results.
* * *
There are many Indications
that the public does want, and
will demand, a better system of
union control. Perhaps the “right
to work” measures were defeat-
ed because the opposition did a
better job of selling the idea to
the voting public that these mea-
sures were really to break up
unions.
* * *
It is doubtful that as long as
the nation has big business en-
terprises operated by manage-
ment groups that often arc not
owners, that the nation can do
without unions. Yet acceptance,
apparently, by the public, that
unionism is necessary, does not
mean the public is satisfied with
the present set up.
* * *
For example, recently, 93fJ, of
the nationwide membership of
the National Federation of In-
dependent Business voted for
greater regulation of picketing.
* * *
The overwhelming majority of
'T' N .:!on:.l t» hruii ri .f Imlrprndunt Builr.esi
By C WILSON HARDER,
the members of this organiza-
tion have also gone on record
previously as recommending
that unions be plac J under the
jurisdiction of anti trust laws,
inasmuch ns a labor monopoly
can be as disastrous to the na-
tion as a commodity monopoly.
• * *
In addition, the findings c-r-
stanlly being brought to light by
the Senate labor Investigating
committee under Sen. John Mc-
Clellan, are making an impres-
sion on the public.
* * *
But it is also interesting to
note, that despite all the ex-
pressed sentiment, and all th"
findings bung reported, there
is not an outcry for an old fash-
ioned “Witch hunt” in labor field
that would destroy unions.
* * a
Yet, by the aamc token, this
forthcoming Congress will prob-
ably make a major mistake if it
Interprets this public restraint
as acceptance of the prevailing
situation.
* * *
Rather, there arc all indica-
tions that remedial action is ex-
pected out of Congress to regu-
late unions so that vast segments
of the economy will no longer be
controlled by the whim of some
labor boss.
* • *
There Is a frank recognition
that the pendulum has swung ton
far in one way iu labor matters,
yet there does not seem a desire
to swing it back to the other ex-
treme.
e • •
On the other hand, the public
temper is getting quite short
over the misabuse of power by
some labor leaders.
* * *
And this ia something the
forthcoming Congress is expect-
ed to do something about, ac-
cording to all indications re-
ceived.
