Wouldn’t you welcome it just to see tion, but it is expected that it will at
least intensify the congressional bat
tles which have been flaring during
the past year.
Each congressman is being sought
out by local labor organizations in an
effort by labor to put an end to legis
lation which it thinks is harmful to
its interests. On the other hand, non
labor groups and fanners are asking
their congressmen for still stronger
curbs on labor. Fanners are seeking
a better price break from their con
gressmen while consumers are asking
for an end to food price rises. It is
1 being made clear to congressmen
that the conflicts which they must
weigh on a national scale when in
Washington are going on with equal
fervor among th,e people who voted
for them.
But reports coming back to this city
indicate that the majority of con
gressmen will return with the feeling
that the majority of people think la
bor has been mollycoddled too much,
that the majority want food prices
stabilized but at the same time want

These people, who keep hearing
about the surplus purchasing power
which must be drained off by bond
purchases and taxes, are pouring out
their troubles to their eongressmen,
are complaining about their
taxes and cost of living, and are
ing for relief. /
When the congress returns
Washington in September, it will be
asked to enact further taxes. With
the complaints of these unorganized
groups still- clear in their minds, they
will be hesitant to agree to any fur
ther income taxes. But they probably
will listen, more favorably, to plans
for a national sales tax which would
put the extra tax burden on those
who are purchasing the most goods.
In agreeing to this, it is also likely
that they will consider raising pres
ent income tax exemptions to help
solve the financial problems of those
from the lowest income groups whose
Incomes have noi been increased by
the war but whose living costs have
soared.
