Conn. Newspaper An'n THCBSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, IMS The Why Of High Taxes Contemplating the almost lievably heavy taxes imposed by all levels of state and is natural to ask: How was it ever possible to load such burdens upon the people? In theory this would be a baffling question to answer, but alter a little practical observation the answer presents itself. Take almost any public question that Involves the expenditure of money. On which side is the aggressive, enthusiastic, articulate Interest? On the side of the people who will be compelled to pay the taxes to support whatever program is proposed? Almost never. The drums are beaten by those who expect to profit, in one way or another including prestige- from the expenditure of public funds.

The tax-spenders are noisy and vehement. They make themselves heard. They push and promote until they drive their program through almost by the sheer force of their outcry. The taxpayers are silent, bewildered, seemingly indifferent. They appear to take an almost fatalistic attitude toward the taxes that are being prepared for them.

In a sense, a citizen is not overtaxed merely to pay for the mistakes of his government. He is overtaxed to pay for his own mistakes as well. He is taxed for the letter he failed to write to his legislator, for the hearing he did not attend, for the taxpayers' or trade association he declined to join when that association was fighting to protect him from unnecessary taxes. When the citizen grumbles futilely about unnecessary taxes, he accuses no one but himself. When he begins to act in union with others who feel a sense of the responsibility of citizenship, he will gain not only decidedly Coddling Serpents Behind the current drive of the 1 C.I.O.

against allegedly pro-Communist unions, which is yet to achieve complete results, is some interesting history. The C.I.O., claiming a membership of more than 8,000,000, la 14 years old. It came into being when John Lewis quarreled with the parent organization, the A.F. over whether labor should be organized vertically (by industries) or horizontally (by crafts within an industry). Eight unions followed Lewis and the all-industry union came into being, a device now attacked by many as a stronger monopoly than any ever organized by business.

The new C.I.O, needed vigorous organizing work. Communists had organizing drive and skill. They led the sit-down strikes and provoked violence. Initially Lewis accepted (horn completely that at a mass meeting he addressed in Mexico City in 1938 red flags were flourished. But in 1940 he repudiated Roosevelt and resigned the C.I.O.

presidency. Years elapsed before the new C.I.O leaders began quarreling with the communists who had by that time risen to great power and influence. Now the C.I.O has come to the belated realization that the Communists are persistently anti- American and will, if allowed to go on, American labor movement. Some sec in the ouster of the radicals a trend toward closer cooperation between labor and management. With labor having a constantly increasing stake in business as a going concern, labor can scarcely harbor people like Hnrry Bridges who has said that a)l management must be eliminated and enterprises run dictatorially.

That Is a state of affairs which ultimately eliminates labor unions, too. 7,000 rubles. 1 That's about in filthy capitalist money (Moscow exchange). Entries will be judged by the art department of Moscow's Wg "Univcrmug' department stBfre. Decision to hold this contest followed press criticism last December of the quality of neckties offered for sale in Moscow stores.

the power of the press, even in Sovietland! It would be easy to crack wise and point out that the press started hollering for better neckties away last Christmas. It would be easy to ask why those snail-paced Kremlin bureaucrats took until now to do something about it. But let's keep politics out of this. It is not whether designers are limited by contest rules. or if they can submit a necktie of any color Just so long as it is red.

It Is to be hoped that some profit-minded, capitalist-hearted traitor to'true art doesn't bob up with a hand-painted four-in-hand bearing a portrait of Uncle Joe. And a bow tie with Stalin's picture on one wing and Lenin's on the other! In a one-ballot town ilke Moscow, what other designs could win? Now that, Tovarich, would be a dirty, soup-stained shame. It would be an egg-spotted shame if they had some eggs. And they would have eggs, and indoor plumbing, and a two-party ballot and loud neckties like ours if it wasn't for this drab fact: In Moscow there are too many drab pictures of Uncle Joe and hanging around.

New Ties For Moscow Demands of the Moscow male for better neckties are being met. It says so in a Moscow dispatch and that is good, Tovarich. It proves something big and basic and important. Life may be drab in the Soviet Union these days, but when neckties become drab, too, then even the totalitariat there's a nice word cannot afford to Ignore public opinion. So the ministry of internal trade and ministry of light industry got together and announced a necktie contest, with 10 prizes for the best four-ln- hands and five prizes for the best bow ties.
