~ Civil Service Could Make
~ Civil § Could Mak
[ ecting Too Rigorous
ax Collecting Too Rig
| BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
,' NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Before U. 8. taxpay
ers, outraged by current scandals in the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, buy the proposition that the ap=-
pointment of all collectors be taken out of politics
" and put under civil service, they should take a
i closer look at what they might get.
' That's the advice of a fornmrer bureau official,
Frances Perkins, former Secretary of Labor and
~ now Civil Service Commissioner, states the case for
putting cellectors under her agency:
. “It is & source of pride that civil service employes
~ of the government are not charged with corruption,
dishonesty, and misfeasance in office. I believe
that the public will demand that collectors of in
ternal revenue be brought under civil service.”
There are 64 collectors scattered over the coun
try. Their job is briefly described as “the receipt
of returns, assessment and cocllection of taxes.” They
also audit returns of persons with incomes under
$7,000 and are supposed to furnish the public with
all tax information.” .
Within that simple statement of duties, however,
individual collectors exercise great authority call«
ing for a lot of judgment. When a taxpayer doesn’t
have ready cash to lay on the line the day his tax
is due, the collector can make arrangenrents to get
the tax in small, periodic payments, he can file suit,
he can attach or grab a man’s home or firm, and
he can levy fines.
CAN DEMAND PROOF OF DEDUCTIONS
In the zuditing of smaller returns he also has au=~
thority to demand they be revised or that the tax
paver furnish written proof of such things as doctor
bills, stolen property or interest payments. It can
be seen that it is within the authority of the col
lector to add to the already oppressive size of the
income tax, an oppressive and harsh method of
collecting it.
The former bureau official disagrees with Mrs,
Perkins, making this point: “The civil servant al
ways shys away from using his judgnrent. His goal
in life is to do everything by the book. And the
closer he adheres to the book, the better he thinks
he's doing.”
One of the big reasons for setting up the present
decentralized system with politically appointed col
lectors was to adapt the painful business of paying
taxes as much as possible to the special problems
of a state or community.
Payment of a tax is a citizen’s most touchy asso
ciation with his government. It's to the advantage
of both the government and citizen to make this
' association as non-irritating and humane as possi
ble.
By and large, the present system has been work«
ing. Income tax collecting over the years has been
one of Uncle Sam’s more efficient humanized func
tions. Collectors have adapted the process to com
munity and personal needs. With the exception of
the current irregularities, the system has worked
fairly well.
In her plea to make collectors part of the civil
service system, Commissioner Perkins says that
they “would come into the government through the
rigid process of examination, investigation and be
fired according to specifie rules and regulations.”
RIGID REGULATIONS WORK BOTH WAYS
She puts her finger on just what the former bu
reau official fears, The collector would come in
under rigid regulations and administer the law the
same way. One day late with your tax and you
would have your house or business attached. If you
happened to nrisplace a doctor bill or receipt for in
terest pavment, boom, that's the end of getting a de~
duction.
To pacify the public, they’'d set up a rigid system
of appeals which would end up making it simpler
to give up your home or be fined.
Miss Perkins says the civil service collector would
. be fired according to rules. That’s a joke. It’s prac
tically impossible to fire a government stenographer
when it is discovered she can't type.
Firing a man at the level of collector by the rules
just wouldn’t be done unless he happened to mur
der the Cammissioner of Internal Revenue-——per
haps.
So, if you got a collector through the civil service
system who was a real turkey, you'd be stuck with
that turkey practically until ke died.
It's the claim of the former bureau official that
the current trouble is not inherent in the Bureau's
system of appointing collectors. He says it’s in the
| political machine whcih appointed dishonest men to
¢ the posts and then failed to police their activities.
f The meaning of the word (Protestant) is to stand
’ for something, to witness for the truth, not to be
| mmere “protestants.” — Dr, Clarence C. Stoughton,
| president, Wittenberg College.

No Place For Defeatists #
; . X
On West's Anfi-Red Team
In this time of trial for the free nations, the
courage and vision of a small band of men hag sup
plied the driving power behind great projects con
ceived for the gecurity and well-being of liberty
loving people. :
Yet over many of these projects hangs an air of
unreality. The European defense army, revived
German military units, the Schuman plan for the
pooling of European coal and steel output, the po
litical federation of the continent, are at varied dis
tances from their goal of completion. Even the bril
liant economic recovery attained under the Mar
shall Plan is beginning to appear a temporary
thing.
To say “these things take time” is not a sufficient
answer. No sensible individual minimizes the over=
whelming complexities of today’s foreign affairs.
Progress in any age is beset by obstacles, and some=
how they seem bigger and more plentiful in this
postwar era. But it isn't the hazards alone that ac
count for the present uncertainties.
A fog of defeatest inertia clouds the minds of
many men, including some in high places. They ap
pear fascinated by their difficulties. Their mental
energy is devoted to elaborate arguments why
things cannot or should not be done,
Most of those who feel thus bound against a
course of real action happen to be Europeans. That
is partly accidental, for Europe at the same time
has produced some of the most resourceful leaders
the free world can boast., Prime Minister Pleven
and Foreign Minister Schuman of France have par
. ticularly distinguished themselves with imaginative
proposals for strengthening the West.
But the heavy concentration of defeatists in
Europe also derives partly from the continent’s
long history of war and troubled borders.
Europeans who dwell upon the obstacles before
them’ believe this is a sign of their political wisdom
and maturity, They style themselves the only true
“realists.” The rest of us, especially the brash young
Americans, are novices who do not understand the
world, ‘
These men are more weary than they realize.
They have lost the resilience needed to cope with
nrodern life, They are evidently content to be mas
tered by their problems, rather than bent upon es
tablishing mastery over them. If this is maturity,
then maturity must be equated with virtual stag
nation. =
What the free world needs is none of this ma
turity but more Schumans, Plevens, Eisenhowers,
and the like. Men who recognize that defeat cannot
be countenanced, who believe that problems can be
solved, who are willing and eager to turn th'eir
minds boldly and inventively to the making of pos
itive solutions.
We have seen enough of the sterile spirit of res
ignation. The nran of flabby will, of timid purpose,
of easy alarm is not the free world’s symbol. Nor
should he be its guide and counsellor. On the speed
with which he is thrust off the stage may depend
the West's salvation in the fight against Russian
tyranny. ¥
Let's Not Descend To Reds’ Level
What can anyone say about the Eighth Army’s
report that the Chinese Reds have slain thousandg
of U. S. prisoners of war in the past year?
It is a shock, but it i 8 no surprise. We have long
since learned that Communists the world over are
not hampered by ordinary standards of behavior in
peace or war. The West’s notions of “morality” are
to the Reds evidence of foolish weakness. In their
political and military lexicon, anything goes. The
end justifies the means.
But there is one thing we must guard against.
Neither atrocity nor intemperate language nor bold
faced deceit at the council table must tempt us to
answer teh Communists in kind.
The way to deal with the Reds is not to go be
serk wit hour guns, or to shout threat and epithet
in the council hall. We can outface them bétter if
we offer them cold, controlled anger and situations
of ower which thoroughly frustrate their ruthless
intent and compel them to accept realities favorable
to us.
Modern Eastern literature is devoted exclusively
to present social, industrial and political revolu=-
tions. If these revolutions continue, Eastern books
will soon stop being literature.—~Mortimer J. Adler,
professor, University of Chicago.
The hot-rod influence in your country is not a
bad thing . . . . Americans are anxious to teach
their boys football and baseball . . . why not make
the sport of driving and the pride of doing it well
a major sport, too?—Robert Braunschweig, Swiss
automotive editor.
A reader who casts his eye on a line of scripture
and accepts what it “seems to mean” is dealing in
astrology or pre-Copernician astronomy rather than
in the present wonder of heavenly truth, — Dr,
George Buttrick, of Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church, Manhattan.
One might say that the typical experience of peo=
ple in the Middle Ages was of God’s nearness. Now
our dominant experience is of God's absence, of
His distance.—~W. H. Auden, poet.
Our troubles as people are caused by deviations
into civilization, which is a fraud perpetrated on
evolution, — Andrew Salter, psychologist, of New
York.

SWEET-TOOTHED FAMILY
COLUMBUS, O. — (AP) — A
honey of a family in distant Tas
mania is looking around for new
uses for the sweet stuff.
Harold R. Beer, who lives on the
island off the Southeast Austrialia
coast, raises bees and his family
uses about 60 pounds per year for
each of its five members. The
average American family uses one
and two~thirds pounds per person
per year.
In order to get further mileage
out of their corp, Beer recently
wrote the Ohio State University
extension service to get their book
let, “Honey and Honey Cookery.”
The hesperornis, a bird which
depended on water for its very
existence, once lived in what is
the state of Kansas.
