such a step is necessary to meet
social needs.
This expropriation and redistri

National Colorization Institute,
which already is in existence and
has been purchasing land for re.

days ago the institutc puichased

Puebla Del Maestre in tae Bada
joz area for redistribution among
his 530 tenants:
When the republic was estab
lished in 1931 there was wide
spread expropriation of lands
and provision was made for di
visiecn of .arge estates among
the peasants. At the end of the
civil war in 1930, when General
Franco established a government,
property whica had been ex
propriated under the republic
was returned to its owners.
Some of the big iung owne-s
have seen that wiiting on the
wall and have been disposing of
portions or all of their country
estates. This hag been due in
part to recognition . of the trend
of tae times to redistribute the
land and in part {o econocmic
necessity, the working of the big
plantation having ceased to be
sufficiently profitable,
Spain’s landed gentry has less
money these days, because rents
to tenants haven’t risen along
wih the cost of maintaining the
plantations, It’s against the law
to increase rents unless the
property is to be improved.
Then, too, large tracts of many
estates have been given over to
hunting and not only produce no
revenue but are costly to main.

can support that type of astate

Growing Opposition To |
'46 Business License ‘
Tax Reported In Council ‘
(Coptinued from page one.)
Councilman Seagraves will vote
for repeal because he was oppos~
ed to the plan Council adopted
for the 1946 Business Licens2
Ordinance when it was up last
December. Councilman Seagraves
advocated a raise in the tax of
hosiery mills wheie e is em
ployed and the tax eon such mills
was hiked from 100 to 150 per
ceni. The lax on coilon milis
was also increased considerably.
He favored a uniform increase
instead of the plan adopted.
A member of Council who dis
cussed the matter with a busi- "
ness man is said to'wave declared:
“It is understandable and perhaps
excusable for us to have refrained
from raising our own taxes while
we were increasing the taxes
of others, because we¢ did the
job at a tiresome and lengthy
meeting. But noy; tlal we know
that we made a mistake and that
with only one exception ‘not a
single business in which a Coun
eilman is engaged is aaving to
pay more taxes in 1946, while
cther citizens are being requir.
ed to pay more, we ought to be
glad to rectify our mistake and
if we don’t then we are guilty
of refusing to do what we are :
asking others 1o do. And we are |
telling the people w¢ need mora '
revenue for the City and that
all citizens ought {c be willing
{o carry an ‘increase in their
taxes.”
Incomplete List
There is no way to accurate- '
ly determine how many busi
nesses are being required to pay
more taxes this year unde- the
1946 License Ordinance and how
many are not being asked to pay
more,but an incomplete list of
those who have had their taxes
“upped” anywhere from fifty to
feur hund-ed percent would in
clude abattoirs, balzeries, cloth
ing stores, shoe stares, cotton
mills, hosiery mills, cotton seed
oil mills, furniture stores, hard
ware stores, wholesale 'grocery
stores, tive recapping plants,
‘newspapers, variety slores.,
~ Council expects to raise about
' $7,000 additional in revenue this
year {from the so-called “1946 In.
equity Tax” Ordinance. If.a flat
twenty percent increase in li
cense taxes had been imposed
the increase would be around
is9’ooo' it is estimeted, and it
would have been fairer. All bus
inessmen who %ave expressed
taemselves have said they would
not object to an increase that
“hit everyone alike, including
the Councilmen.” "

Thomas Walks Out 1
Until last night, when President
R. J. Thomas of the CIO-United
Automobile Workers walked out
on the wage talks, the department .‘
was confident Dewey would be '
successful. Today, the official ex

ed. ; {
Thomas announced he would not
return to the negotiations with @
GM officials “until there is some ‘
indication that GM wants to set- |
tle the strike.” |
On another labor front, a fact-|

hearings in the recent meat strike |
after hearing packing company
spokesmen demand that it make |
recommendations for price as well
as wage increases. The panel is
expected to report its findings this |
week-end. %
Meanwhile, the Treasury De- |
partment studied whether refunds |
of excess profits taxes under pres- '
ent laws nave any bearing on the ;
current strike situation. . Labor |
leaders have claimed that such re- !
funds, in effect, would enable cor- |
porations to “sit out” a strike with !
a minimum of financial loss. The |
Treasury promised a report tn:
Congress soon on the subject. i
