TAX TRAINERS
WANT LIGHT ON
CORPORATIONS
Large Ones Said to Have
Escaped Levy on War
Profits.

Information in the hands Of the
Ways and Means Committee to the ef-
feet that certain large corporations
practically escaped taxation on their
war. profits during the last year is
about TO be tested by the records of'the
Treasury Department. The committee
has called upon the Treasury to sub
init full statement showing the
amount OF taxes these corporations
paid, together with the amount they
will have to pay under the plan de
manded by Secretary McAdoo for a
straight 50 per cent tax on war
profits and no increase In the excess
profits rates.
Among the corporations whose tax
records are to be scrutinized in
response to the committees request
are the Standard OIL. American To-
bacco. Utah Copper and Ford Auto
mobile.
A majority Of the COMMITTEES, led by
Chairman Kitchin. contends that the
excess proflts rates should be in
CREASED to 30. 50 and 50 per cent. In
order to catch the war profiteers.
Their information is to the effect that
under the plan proposed by the Treas
ury the corporations named will fare
better than they would under the COM
mittee plan. for the reason that their
profts have been at a steady ratio
and not much greater now than they
were during the prewar period.
The committee wants to know what
these corporations paid on their last
years profits. what they would pay
under the Treasury plan and what
they would pay, under the rates pro.
posed by the committee. Wien the in.
formation is received the COMMITTEES
will again attempt TO settle the con.
troversy with the department.

sunday, september p, is to be
Blue Triangle Sunday throughout all
Maryland, and every minister in the

perintendent will be asked to tell
their congregations and schools on
that day what great work is done by
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation both in France and ohter war
ridden countries and in the United
States.
The idea of observing a Blue Tri-
angle Sunday originated with Miss
Florence E. Wilbur, who recently
came to Baltimore to organize the
state in readiness for the big drive
for war relief funds which will take
place in September and will be par
ticipated in by the Young Women
Christian Association, the Young
Mems Christian Association. the War
Camp Community Service and the
american Library Association.
Miss Wilbur in a few days will
send out letters to every minister and
every Sunday School superintendent,
calling attention TO the wonderful
work of the y. W. c. A. and asking
them TO make it the subject of either
sermon or a talk.
The Y. W. C. A. is maintaining a
corps of workers in Europe and in
this country is mobilizing the women
and girls, so that the positions made
vacant when the next draft calls
