Patrolling The
Main Stem
By RICK MASON
INCOME: Tax reform will be
hot issue in the coming Congress.
The study covering the past de
cade tends to show that the rich
is steadily growing richer, while
the relatively poor is increasing in
numbers. In the mid-fifties the
top fifth of the population of the
nation controlled more than forty
per cent of its wealth while the
low income families of the bot
tom fifth split slightly more than
five per cent. The new tax pic
ture would involve a broad range
of measures but the important step
would be to close present loopholes
without putting new pressures or
the growing fortunes of the
wealth and at the same time les
sening the burden at the low wage
level. An article in the Congres
sional record states: “For all of
the nation’s much vaunted rich
hess and diversity it appears that
a comparative handful are in con
trol.” A labor observer replies:
“The time has come to reverse
| this unwholesome trend.” Mean
while the shrinking percentage of
income at the bottom is being split
between more people while a
broadening premium at the top
tend to enrich the rich.
THE STEMWINDER SAYS:
4< lf you’re in a rat race, better
check and see who’s winning.”
RECOVERY: The discomforts
of. localized paralysis should be
“old hat” to .yours truly as No
vember 17 marked the third time
we have been so stricken over four
decades. But this time striking
from the opposite side proved to
be slightly aggravating. Shock
Therapy at intervals of six days
proved to be highly effective treat
ment, which I was informed this
week is no longer necessary. The
encouragement of my bride (prob
ably out of fear) and the good
wishes and prayers of many
