MACARTHUR Western News Service Sacramento (WNS)—The Citizen's Committee for Old Age Pensions, operated by George McLain, is a business which attempts to influence legislation and not a “charitable organization” and as such, must pay the state unemployment tax. This was the effect of a decision announced recently in the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board following a hearing at which McLain, the old age pension advocate and promoter of Proposition No. 4, claimed his organization was 'charitable,' and therefore should escape the taxes. During the hearing, it was bought out through McLain's testimony that the organization was formed for "service to the old people who could come and have their pension rights and benefits explained to them." $5 Per Year The membership fee at first, he testified, was a penny a day, but later was increased to $5.00 per year. Some of the activities, according to the testimony, were to handle the welfare problems of the members and the "handling of appeals to the state welfare board from decisions of the county departments." "In connection with this activ... out the state, which meetings we opened with a prayer and a sultate to the flag, after which a basket collection was taken." The decision said that in addition to the welfare workers, the radio script writer and speaker for the meetings, the petitioner has on its staff the editor of monthly publication, a public director, a man in charge of making, and "maitains a staff to answer the correspondence received by the organization, amounting to an average of about 400 letters a day." "Petitioner's chairman," said the decision, "receives a salary of approximately $1,700 per year, which is less than that paid some of the other staff members. He also acts as general agent for a life insurance company, but states that devotes only about 15 minutes a day to this latter activity. "During the sessions of the California legislature, petitioner chairman spends most of his time in Sacramento as legislative representative of the organization. "In his testimony, he stated that he was not attempting to influence legislation, but that he did intently view members of the legislature for the purpose of explaining..."

During the sessions of theonia legislature, petitioner's man spends most of his time paramento as legislative representative of the organization. This testimony, he stated he did not attempt to influence, but that he did inter-members of the legislature the purpose of explaining literature, and to organizing and directing the volunteer staff of old people who addressed and stuffed the envelopes containing the campaign literature. "The campaign for Proposition No. 4 was entirely financed by petitioner, and cost approximately $190,000." In explaining its reason for its decision, the appeals board pointed out the unemployment insurstantial part of its activities the from exemption which has a substantial part f its activities the "carrying on of propaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation." After citing several decisions against other organizations which attempted to escape the unemployment tax, the board said: "The petitioner was not organized exclusively for charitable or educational purposes and was not operated exclusively for such purposes, and further hold that during the periods in question, a substantial part of petitioners activities consisted of attempts to influence legislation." We have no cliff dwellers today—but still plenty of bluffers. WASHINGTON AS SEEN By Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS You know, if you want to appreciate this country, you don't even have to leave it; you can just talk about leaving it for a short time. The Capitol doctor tells you to get all sorts of inoculations, depending on the countries you expect to visit, and he gives you various pills and powders, for the conditions you'll have to meet. The bank looks up, for you, regulations about the money you may have with you, of the countries you visit. You'd better take soap, and toilet paper, and this and that, you're told. It won't be the same there, is the unmous opinion. Well, why won't it be the same Is there some magic, that in America people can travel around when and where they want? cross state lines, farther apart national lines abroad, with emptying their pockets, and playing the money they have? not to worry about the water, the milk, and the sanitation? buy soap and toilet paper, and thousand other things the people abroad never had, and some them never saw? The United States as 7 percent the world's population; but have, on recent figures, 86 percent of the refrigerators; 83 percent all the automobiles; 81 percent the bathtubs; 79 percent of the radios; 76 percent of the vaccine cleaners and 78½ per cent of insurance, but I don't know if it is face values, or the number insured, probably both. So, I was interested in a stentment the V.F.W. put out a while back. About Russia. Nation, Russia, according to all red-hots, who want us to do the comrades, just so those promoters don't have to go back and live there themselves.

For a pack of cigarettes the average employee would work 9 minutes in the U.S. (less, according to me) and in Russia, he'd work over 2 hours. For a quart of milk, he'd work here 10 minutes, and in Russia 1 hour and 18 minutes, with the germs thrown in, no cargo. For a pair of shoes, the rade works 13 days, compared to the American worker's 1 day, and I can certify for observation on the spot, that shoes are scarce, and of inferior quality. Three hours would get you a shirt in America; 2 months in the workers' Paradise. A winter coat would take 25 weeks work, and they'd be limited to the bureaucrats (oh, they have theme there too), as against 75 hours here. A car? Broth-er, 40 weeks in the U.S. you should live so long in the U.S.S.R. I rise to remark that it might be a good idea to send some of the fellow-travelers over there for a time. It might be worth the cost. The trouble is, they know it now—they simply want to take over the U.S. from the inside, and if you watch the trend of legislation, you sometimes wonder if they are not getting away with it. I think it's about time for us to stand up and say America is the strong country, the free country, with the know-how, and the opportunity, and it's our country—not Russia.
