WASHINGTON AND SMALL BUSINESS In what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken of Main Street sentiments on taxaticn prob lems, the National Federation of Independent Business has completed and sent to the White House, Congressional Commit tee’s, Treasury Dept, and other governmental agencies a 240 page report. * * * The district chairmen of the Federa-j ation were asked to on .the ten ports of the President’s proposed tax c. W. Harder program, and Invited to additional comments. see Approximately 1,000 of the total number of district chair men replied. Each of them are engaged in independent busi ness or professional practice covering the entire field of commercial activity from man ufacturing. wholesaling, retail ing and services. The returns from 50 states and the District of Columbia were about in ratio to their populations. o*o 54.9% expressed favor of the proposed tax incentive pro gram which would provide for s different method of deprecia tion write-offs to encourage business to expand. * * * Yet only 22.3% were in favor of the proposal to levy a with holding tax against interest and dividends, and only 18.4% favored the repeal of the pro vision that now permits the first $50 in income from divi dends and interest to be tax free, and the additional credit of 4% on divdend income in ex cess of $50. National Federation of Independent Rusineas ISON HARDER In volunteered comments, there is expressed considerable and often quite bitter resent ment over U. S. policy on for eign matters. 71.9% voted for the proposal to compel U. S. firms with foreign plants to pay U. S. taxes on the undis tributed earnings of these plants. And likewise, by a ma jority of 57.6% the president’s proposal that such tax be de ferred on U. S. plants operat ing in so-called “under-devel- . voted o o o While 54.2% voted against the president’s proposal to change the ruling on capital gains from the sale of depreciable property by having the profit computed on such a- sale on the- actual original price rather than the depreciated value, 93.4% are in favor of the Pres ident’s recommendations to tax cooperatives. • * • Although by thpe survey was tabulated. Congress had al ready voted a one year exten sion of present corporation and excise tax rates, only 39.3% favored such a move. o o o Of the ten tax proposals, half were favored, the other half not favored. OOO- While the Federation Is not committed on these votes, as It requires a vote by the full national membership of the or ganisation, it is quite probable that these district chairmen, closely in touch with the inde pendent business sentiments in all parts of the country, voted in much the same way a full membership ballot would turn out. But one thing seems ob vious. There will not be much employment supplying expan sion of the nation’s vast inde pendent business complex until there are substantial reforms in the crazy-quilt tax laws. Snapshots: The Young and History iH :%■ ' -• : ■ 'y-' ••‘x ’ : • -y i ■ ? ?:;•!<? . > ' ■ | # Wl m When we are very young, we “look up” at world around us. Every thing is BIG—even people. We are impressed with the size of things— and the bigger a person or a building or an object appear, the more important we think they are in the scheme of things. As we grow older, we learn that size is important, true enough, but often size has little to do with determining the value of a particular item at hand. We begin to learn the word “history” and to realise that small and simple things may have great value because of what they represent, or be- cause they have become a symbol of a great era or a great move ment. In the photo above, a young lady explains a bit of history to a very young boy. Behind them is Savannah, Georgia’s City Exchange Bell, believed to be the oldest in Georgia. It was cast In 1802 and hung in cupola of the City Exchange from 1804 until the building was rased.
