PROFITEERING AND TAXATION

Last week the Federal Trade Commission gave out
a report profteering which occupied conspicuous
place in the daily press The report not printed in
full because had enough to print it in
but probably 80 cent of the daily
read the headlines and passed up the rest.
The main part of the report we believe to be con-
tanned in the following paragraphs
"The commission has reason know that profteer-
necessities times evidence in the
for heavy production. Some of it is attributable to
inordinate greed and bare-faced fraud.
"In summarizing the information at hand certain
features appear which it is we'll to note
the case of basic metals in steel, when the
Government announced a fixed price, it made
high that it would insure and stimulate production.
This has resulted in giving wide range of profits.
Under the device Of COST plus margin of profit these
profits necessarily great in the of the low cost
mills. Thus while the market prevented from
ming away, it would done undoubtedly if it had
not been regulated by. fixed price, the stronger
factors in the industry further strengthened in their
position enriched by profits which without pre-
cedent."
In other words the government wants to stimulate
production and fixes the price, the result is that
low-cost make enormous profit. To reduce
the price would put several out of business and
thus curtail production, which would be disastrous.
The sensible thing to do, therefore, is to keep the
prices fixed promote production, and then add
cessprots tax to those which able to keep
costs down and thus make a very large profit.
This is President Wilson's position as we under
stand it.
