The very newest proposal lis to
tax profits on businesses.
This idea contemplates a tax
of 5 per cent on all profits in ex-
cess of 8 per cent. In other
words, if a man makes a profit
of $4,000 on a business of $780,
600, $4,000 of this is exempt. He
is taxed on the remaining $780,
600, the 5 per cent tax amount
ing to $1,000. Thus he receives
as his actual profit $4,000, in
stead of $4,000. Uncle Sam
pocketing the other $1,000. The
total collected will be $200,000,-
