Many changes were made in the
wording Of the definition OF invested
capital IN the Kitchin bill. The pro-
vision that there should be included in
invested capital actual cash value OF
tangible property other than cash, bona
fide paid in for stock or shares, at the
time of such payment, but In no case
to exceed the par value OF the original
stock or shares specifically issued there
for" was amended by adding an ex-
ception that when II Is satisfactorily
demonstrated to the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue that the actual cash
value is above par value OF the stocks
or shares
Also instead OF defining "lnadmiss,-
BILE" assets the Finance Committee wrote
into the bill the provision that all asse "a
except ordinary inadmissible assets
should be included In invested capital
for Determining the proper amount of
tax. The provision was added that In
admissible assets which were not SO ac-
counted In the pre-war years but are
accounted so now may be included as
inadmissible assets In the pre-war years
FOR determining the war excess profits
taxes
The provision that consolidated re-
turns could not be made was struck
from the K!tchln bill and the Finance
Committee added n provision that in
the case of the same ownership OF vari-
Gus corporations con solidated tax re-
turns would be permissible
The committee slightly amended Its
own action Of yesterday in consolidating
the war profits and excess profits tax,
but the amendment was purely one of
phraseo!ogy, not affecting In the least
the rates put in by the committee.
Before leaving the subject OF business
profits altogether and taking up the es-
tates tax the committee will have before
It proposal which apparently Is favored
by majority OF the committee, to pro-
vide for the inclusion OF partnerships
and individuals engaged in business
within the scope OF the war excess profits
tax.
According TO Senator Simmons (NC).
chairman OF the Finance Committee. in
vestigatlon has disclosed that the taxes
put on corporations would not be born.
by partnerships and that the arrange
ment was not entirely fair. The same is
true Of individuals Senator Simmons
said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Senate
Finance Committee to-day about COM
pleted its revision OF the war and ex-
cess profits sections OF the Kitchin tax
bill and greatly enlarged the scope Of the
so-called relief clause" This part OF
the bill 10 designed to relieve such cor
porations as do not conform with repre-
sentative concerns in the same line OF
business from the strict Interpretation OF
invested capital TO arrive at the proper
tax"
In the corporations benefited by the
relief clause the invested capital IL fxed
at the figure which bears the same ratio
to the net income for the taxable year
as the average invested capital and net
income of a representative concern In the
same business bear to each other.
Extension of Relief Clause.
The extension OF the relief clause to
cover more ground and be fairer and
more equitable was phrased thus:
I'D. Where the Commissioner Is
unable satisfactorily to determine the
invested capital as provided in Section
1926.
W. Ill tue case VI Aoieish eo'
poration.
"(3). Where a mixed aggregation Of
tangible property and intangible prop
erty has been paid in for stock or for
stock and bonds and the Commissioner
Is unable satisfactorily to determine
the respective values of the several
classes OF property at the end OF pay
ment or to distinguish the classes OF
property paid in for stock and for
bonds respectively.
go. Where as compared with rep
sentative corporations engaged In
like or similar trade or business the
corporation would (under Section $3.50
be placed in a position OF substantial
inequality because of the time or man
ner of its organization or because
the actual value OF its assets on March
/, 1913. was substantially in excess
OF the amount at which such assets
would be valued for the purpose Of
computing It's invested capital under
the provisions OF Section 326:
"(5). Where the invested capital 10
materially disproportionate to the net
income as compared with representa-
tive corporations engaged in a like
or similar trade or business because:
"A. The capital employed. although
a material income producing factor.
is very small or Is In large part bor-
rowed:
"B. There are excluded from the
invested capital as computed under
the provisions OF Section 326 In
tangible assets OF recognized and
substantial value built up or developed
by the corporation;
&C. The net income for the taxable
year represents the earnings OF capt.
tai unproductively invested through
a period OF years:

"Playthings" is three act dra-
ma by Sidney Toler and tho unani'
nous verdict wherever 1t has been
shown is that II is one Of the mast
daringly sensational plays ever pro-
duced on the stage. It &c 4 powerful
indictment of parents who allow
their daughters to grow up In is
norance Of the truths and dangers
Of the world. The play has been
commended in the strongest terms
by some Of the most prominent cler-
gymen of the country and pronounc-
ed one that every mother and every
daughter should ceretainly see.
The virile and vital, or charmisg
and sympathetic characters OF
"Playhtings" are Of the sort with
which the members Of the Rotation
Stock Players are sure to do their
most excellent work. The author
might well have had them with
their various abilities in mind when
he wrote the play and created the
types Of men and women about
which its action moves.
