DUPONT CO. MAY PAY
TWENTY MILLIONS AS TAX

One OF the largest excess-proflts
taxes in proportion to the invested
capital" to be paid by any OF the very
large industrial companies Of the
United States viii be that Of the +. l..
dupont dc NemOurs & Co. and its
subsidiary companies. II the income
account OF 1917 equals or surpasses
that OF 1916, which Is, altogether i'm
probable, as powder is being sold this
year at a much lower price than in
1916.
According 20 the manner In which
invested capital" is computed under
the new law, the dupont Company's
total tax on last years figures would
have been S3jO50,963.
AS the earnings Will be far less dur
ing the current year. It Is hardly likely
that the dupont Company's tax under
the new law will be any more than
Sis0OO,0O0 20 S2OOOO,OOO for 1917.
