TAX ON EXCESS PROFITS
10 Be MADE PERMANENT

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 1G.--Belief that
il is exceedingly probable that an ex-
cess profits tax, now imposed as a
war measure, will continue as a per-
manent part Of the American tax ,sys-
tenn was Xpressed by Professor T. S.
Adams, Of Yale University, in an adj
dress he delivered here today before
the National Tax Associations conven-
ton. This taxation OF excess profits
would be, in Prof. Adams opinion
an expression CT the principle that the
state and the community stand as
silent partners in every business enter
prise. Prof. Adams is now serving as
SPECIAL advisor on taxation to the
treasury department.
He strongly advocated the taxing of
come, the wisdom of which course has
been for many years the subject Of
considerable difference Of opinion by
tax authorizes and others Interested in
scientific taXations methods Professor
Adams admitted that opponents Of
this method of taxation were able to
present strong arguments in support
of their position which undoubtedly
were worthy of full consideration but
the fact remains, as he said that 1--WE
shall never have even an approximate
ly consistent scheme of taxation until
the necessity for separate business
taxation is recognized and imports
laid which are consciously designed
to express the fiscal obligations of
business as such.
