BROW* Member o f Cotogrewr, Seventh Ohio District *U the history of this e the pest 'week will probably rsnk second in jnw portance to that o f December 7, t941i which marked America's entry into the war. Certainly, no other week in history has seen more drastic changes in the domestic economy of opr coon* try. Monday of last week brought both the registration of all men bet tween the ages of 45 and 66, and the delivery'of the President’s message to Congress, establishing a new American economy for the wayperiod, at least. Tuesday brought the* "price freezing” order from Price Adminis­ trator Henderson (predicted here tyro weeks ago), placing rlgid eontrols upi- on all commodity prices. Thursday brought action by the Naval Affairs Committee of the House killing' the Vinson-SmithBill and for thepresent, at least, ending controversy Within Congress Over the repeal of the 40- hour week provision of the Wage® and Hours Act. c o u e t m e m The,reactions in Congress to< the Resident’s message have been mixed and varied, As is usual withvso many - o f the President’s programs, there': is a general agreements* to the worthi­ ness of thd objective announced,-but a considerable difference of opinion as to the methods -to be followed in reaching such-an objective. A ll agree as to the necessity of taking proper action to prevent inflation, but there are those who feel that the President’s program, as outlined, contains certain flaws, And that final results will de­ pend almost entirely upon how the various proposals are carried into ef­ fect. Some of the criticismsof the Presi­ dent’s message include;' Failure to mentionr.the necessity fob reductipn.of expenditures-in-the non-military,- or civil, divisions* anA agencies o f the Federal Government: Failure to out­ line * definite tax program to .’act.as an inflation brake, and to bear equally Upon all classes. Evident willingness to demand sacrifices from the farmers of the country, while failing to place ! definite ceilings on Wages-and salaries although recommending limiUtionon total-met incomesat $25,O0ftper year. Of course, all the above objections are not beingmade by the same per­ sons. , For instance, those- who wish more definiteness from the President regarding taxes insist that inflation cannot be-prevented .unless the new tax program reaches down in the fow- er dncome brackctr, inasmuch as it is in such brackets that the greatest in­ crease in incomes’ can be found. Firm i leaders are pointing out that while the net incomes of farmers have been increased in the past year or so, that such increases ”do not, in any way compare with ,those given industrial labor, and that farm prices have-not as yet actually reached parity. Many insist that tbe tiliers » f .the soil shoui l not be required to make any sacri­ fices that are not also required of la­ te r and of all other American citizens. Other critics insist that the Preai- .dent’s proposal to stabilize wages through reference of wage disputes to the War Labor Board wilt result in continued wage increases, either „by action of the Labor Board:or through mutual agreements between-labor or­ ganisations and employers holding war contracts. Suchcritics argue that commodity prices and war production costs- cannot be stabilized if wages are permitted to increase. Thoee who object to limiting net incomes to $25,- ' POOper year insist that such limita­ t io n is not necessary i f heavy surtaxes and excess profit taxes are levied; that the total amount of revenue de­ rived from aucha limitation Will mean but little; and that wtth limitatiett is contrary to our system of govern­ ment andeasily leads to abuses. They point out that if a limitation of $25,- 009 can he placed this year, such limit can be fixed at $10,000 hexfc year; $2,- 500 or less the year following, and so on until a completely socialised state results; although they admit auch $28,000 limitation now hue greatpop* ular appeal.

The result wa* 19 favorable to 23 against. While farm­ ers were busy with corn planting, many were in town Saturday after­ noon that, would-not* vote either for or against it. Various-reasons were given, the generalanswer to inquiry being they did not want to be on rec- ord as having:a part in the referen- dfim'and they were against the-idea of regimentation. . .
