BUSINESS INTERESTS
Want ACTION ON TAXES
By I. A. FLEMING.

Corporations and business interests
generally are especially anxious Tor

moment of the new tax measure. in
ALL its varied phases. income, added

Five months of the calendar year
have practically passed. 1t Is natu-
rally difiicult to adjust business. costs.
etc. to an unknown tax basis. and Tor
this reason the sooner the taxes are
known the better.
Financial interests also agree that
1t would be the better way to have
out of the way. and that delay would
be of no advantage. other than. per
haps, to few lawmakers in hotly
contested districts and to speculation
in the stock market. neither being
considered of public import.
, The certainty of increased levies on
incomes, excess profits and specific
Injuries. as asked for by the Presi-
dent. puts many of the large divi-
dends of the day in doubt and was
responsible for a very serious shake
up on Wall street
1t is practically certain that many large
corporations could pay larger taxes
without endangering their dividend
payments, special reference being
made to certain corporations that are
having considerable trouble with la
,bor and are compelled to sell their
products at fixed prices.
Uncontrolled industries will suffer
in lesser degree, because they have
the privilege OF passing the burden
on to the consumer. who ultimately
must bear much of the tax.
With the spirit now prevalent in the
United States any added taxation, II

and fairness alike. utterly devoid OF
class legislative features. will be ac-
cepted without plant.

There is a place for every able. am

And practically all are fitted. both

Physical and mental requirements
vary widely In the many available oc-

qualifications Of the host Of work

before everyone the necessary data
