REPLIES TO CRITICS.

Wiekershnm Defends Corporation
Tax Amendment of Tariff Bill.
Attorney General Wickersham has ad-
dressed letter 70 several firms of pub
lie accountants who recently criticised the
corporation tax amendment 10 the tariff
bill, which he framed. IN which he points
out that their criticisms are not only IN
Just. but have no foundation in fact.
The chief point Of attack by the critics
was what they called the impossibility
of a corporation making a true account
Of It's profits as required by the pro-
posed law, because the government
measures its work by the government
fiscal year. while most business houses
follow the calendar year.
In reply TO this criticism Mr.. Wicker
sham calls attention 70 the fact that
the proposed law does not mention prof
it's" the proposed tax being levied upon
the net income OF the corporation. He
further argues that while it may cause
the corporations considerable inconven-
fence. il is absurd to say that it is i'm
possible for any business house that
keeps a proper set of books TO do so.
