The actual working of the excess

Taking coal companies. for example
the secretary showed that the excess

from nothing to 81 per cent. But six

There are few, IL any, opportunities
for such inequalities in a fiat war

had prepared n tabulation of results
under the application OF the two

tax was found to be the, more prot

The difference between the two ar

seeks revenue from all sources the
other seeks to punish all profits One
method Ia theoretical. and is con-

other Is in accord with the practice of

reasonable profit. Excess profits can
not be determined as readily as war

The Taxes on Profit

1t Is good news that Secretary Nc

conference on the war revenue bill arm

and the house than by n surrender OF

Is to want the bill the secretary prefers
which Is much sounder in principle

Tor comparing the. statements OF Tn.
secretary and the chairman distinguish
es the taxes in these words.
by war profits tax we mean a tax
upon profits in excess of those realized
before the war. BY an excess profits
TAX we mean tax upon profits In
excess of given return upon capital
The theory of a war profits tax is to
TAX profits due to the war. The theory
or an excess profits tax is to tax
profits over and above given return
on capital.
The chalrman's distinction between
the taxes was given in these words:
Under tho TREASURY scheme the great
combination and firms In gentlemen S
agreements TO keep up certain sched-
ulc OF profits. whether times are dull
or brisk, would escape with a min
'mum OF taxation. Their profits would
be no great now than before the war
They would be subject to the mod
crate excess profits taxes. Whereas
the men who had a small business be :
fore the war. and had operated under
favorable conditions since, would pay
the high so per cent. war profits taxes

Will get those who prof1ted before the
war as we'll as those who are still

before or after the war. Neither will
the country see in tho chairman's
proposal any tax proceeds large
enough to compensate for the pro-
posal to punish profitecrs before the
war. Necessarily, they werc not war

as such. An excess profits tax on

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Il
What has moved the administration,
and Secretary Baker in particular. to
reverse itself totally on the army pro-
position and to plan now for maximum
participation OF, the greatest army. we
can train, Is not of so much moment.
Perhaps sharp home criticism helped.
Perhaps a new realization OF the peo-
Pies temper, combined with the ap-
proach OF fall elections, was a factor.
Perhaps the recommendations Of the
Versailles conference had something
to do with it. It Is recalled that on
June II the secretary Of war said he
would not actively oppose the new
draft recommendations Of General
Crowder; that on Juno IS he appeared
before the senate military affairs conn
mittee and fatty opposed the recon-
mendations: that on June az. as a re-
suit Of his Intervention, the committee
voted down the Fall amendment, en-
bodying the Crowder plan, and that on
Aug. the war secretary announced
another complete flop which placed
him squarely on the platform of the
provost marshal general.
