Corporation Income
ak Is Attacked

The tentative normal corporation in
come tax that has been agreed on is
coming in for good deal Of scoring.
1t provides for tax of IL per cent on
proflts If distributed and 18 per cent if
retained. Representative Joseph ".
Fordney. Of Michigan, ranking Repub-
lican member of the committee, holds
that the alternative rate will have a
regrettable effect on banks, as it will
tend to restrict the accumulation of
surpluses and undivided profits, and
Will thus be temptation to unsound
banking and contribute toward re-
strlction Of banking credits
Sound banking prompts the accumu-
latlon Of certain amount of undivid-
ed profits to meet loss emergencies.
such as the compulsory charging off of
assets. such as notes that the bank
examiner may rule are not collectible.
Now, IT bank sets aside undivided
profits it will have to pay 18 per cent
on them, whereas if the sum segregated
tor that purpose were paid out in divi-
dends to the shareholders it would cost
the bank only II per cent.
The same considerations apply to sur
pluses, and the tendency will be not to
enlarge them. thus reducing the banks
ABILITY to accommodate customers, since
1T may not lend to any individual or
corporation more than 10 per cent Of
its capital stock and surplus. The nro-
posed measure is alse held to be in tho
nature Of check on business expan-
sion and to be very oppressive to small
and struggling concerns
