YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
By HENDERSON LANHAM
ECONOMY AND TAX RELIEF—In theory everyone is in favor
of economy in Government. In practice, however, Congress is find
ing it hard. Forty per cent of the appropriations bills have been
completed by the House, with a saving of only a few millions dol
lars. The other 60 per cent will include bills appropriating money
for the armed services, for veterans and for the payment of in
terest on the national debt. It will be very difficult to cut any of
these items without crippling our army, navy and air force. As a
result of the cuts already made by the President, the army an
nounced this morning that 50 army camps, forts and installations
are being abandoned. Already Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia has been
abandoned, and the new cut will eliminate Camp McClellan, at
Anniston, Ala. This morning I received a letter from a mother of
a son in the air forces saying that her son had written her that all
extra pay for Hying time had been eliminated and promotions of
officers stopped. The boy says, and rightly, that it will mean that
ambitious and capable officers will leave the service. If we cut
any more from the budget for the armed forces, it will mean, in
evitably. more cuts in personnel and equipment. To me this seems
extremely dangerous in view of the crisis in our foreign affairs.
All this is said to show just how difficult it is, until peace is re
stored to the world, to make any sizable cut in our annual budget.
BUDGET MUST BE BALANCED BEFORE TAX CUTS—Sound fi
nancing demands that the Federal budget be balanced before taxes
are cut. This is one reason a majority of the Democrats in the
House on yesterday voted against the cut of 20 per cent in income
taxes. Another reason for the negative vote was that we felt that
whatever savings could be made in expenditures, should be applied
on the national debt of $260,000,000,000. Besides, the tremendous
tax cut, which would amount to over $5,000,000,000 would mean that
much more money to compete for goods and gadgets forcing prices
still higher in the giddy spiral of inflation.
Even if this were the proper time to cut taxes, we felt that it
was not the proper way to cut them. We believe that exemptions
should have been raised, so that the people with lower incomes,
who are finding it ever more difficult to live on these incomes,
would have had much needed relief.
SENATE WILL NOT PASS BILL NOW—Sen. Harry Byrd, the man
most insistent on economy in Government, says, that the Con
gress had put the cart before the horse in trying to cut taxes, be
' fore it has been determined what amount will be necessary to car
i ry on the business of the Government in the next fiscal year. No
doubt the Senate will not act on tax reduction until the budget for
the year is determined. If the Senate did pass the bill now in its
present form, the President would probably veto it.
PROPOSES TAX RELIEF FOR MARRIED PEOPLE—During the
I week I introduced a bill in Congress to force the Internal Revenue
Department to give the married people of Georgia, the same right
to divide their income between them for tax purposes, as is done
in those states having what is known as the Community Property
1 Law. This is fair, and ought to be done. It would result in a big
I saving for married people in Georgia.
TAXATION OF CO-OPERATIVES—Mr. Nelson T. Stephens, sec
■ retary of the Cedartown Chamber of Commerce, one of our good
citizens, always interested in public questions, wrote me inquiring
what was being done toward taxing co-operatives. Thinking oth
ers might be interested, I am answering his question in my report.
The feeling here seems to be, and I agree, that in the case of farm
ers co-operatives, that is, those associations formed by farmers
and others for the purpose of selling their farm and dairy prod- ■
ucts more systematically and profitably, such organizations should
not be subject to the income tax. They are nothing more than part
nerships, which are not taxed. The farmers get all the proceeds
of the sale of their products, less the actual cost of handling and
selling them. At the same time, it is recognized that there are oth
er co-operatives that are taking advantage oi the law exempting
them from income taxation. The remedy seems to be, not to tax
all co-operatives, but to better define the word co-operatives, so as
to prevent bogus associations from taking advantage of the law.
CONTROLS ON RUBBER AND SUGAR CONTINUED—The House
passed and sent to the Senate during the past week, bills to regu
late the supply and prices of crude rubber, to encourage the de
velopment of the synthetic rubber industry in the U. S. and to ef
fectively control the distribution of crude rubber and to control
the price and distribution of sugar until Oct. 31, 1947. This was
done to protect the housewife from excessive sugar prices, and to
assure her an adequate supply, which would have been gobbled up
by the big commercial users if controls had been discontinued.
