Nj W Byaa war profits tax we mean .
lssgS rpen profits in iexcess Of those re.
I1aiized 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-profts tax is
| to tax profits due to the war.
"The theory of an excess profits tax
IL to tax profits over and above a CIV
en- return on capital The excess-pro-
fits tax falls less heavily on big bust
ness than on small business, because
/ big business is generally overcapital-
lied and small businesses are often
undercapitalized.
"The war-profits tax would tax all
war profits at one high rate; the ex-
cess profits tax does, and for safety
must tax all excess profits at lower
and graduated rates"
The above extract from Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo's testimony
before the House Ways and Means
Committee gives his differentiation
between war-profits and excess-profits
taxes and explains his position in urg-
ing upon Congress an excess profits
tax, with an alternative war-profts
tax in the forthcoming revenue legis-
lation.
To the average citizen Secretary
McAdoo's position seems we'll taken.
Most small and local corporations are
capitalized at an actual valuation.
Many of the very large corporations
are greatly overcapitalized; the stock
Of some of them has been repeatedly
watered. With only an excess-profts
tax a corporation earning ten per
cent on grossly watered capital will
pay the same tax as another corpora
ton not overcapitalized earning 10 per
cent on the real, actual valuation Of
the money and property invested in its
business. The profits Of the first cor
poration might be 80 per cent on its
actual valuation, and it is TO cover
such cases that a war-profts tax is
urged.
AS many of these large corporations
are engaged in government work and
drawing huge sums from the United
States, it seems particularly just that
they should pay taxes on the same
actual basis as corporations not over
capitalized. A tax that taxes equally
a 10 per cent profit on watered capital
and a10 per cent profit on unwater-
ed capital Is not equal and uniform and
scarcely just.

Clarifying the Draft Rules.

Redistribution Of all men in
the draft age who come within
the next call will be the feature
of the new rules that have just
been issued from Washington.
In the first draft the exemptions
were alarmingly numerous. In
the next one there will be pract-
ically no exemptions except for
those who are absolutely untitled
from a physical standpoint. Ev-
cry man summoned before the
boards will be placed in one of
the four following classes:
(A) Acceptable for generalmil-
itary service.
(B) Acceptable for general mil
itary service after being cur
ed of remedial defect.
(C) Acceptable for special or
limited military service in
aspecifed capacity or occu-
patton.
(D) Rejected and exempted for
any military service.
This is simplicity itself, and it
means that the young manhood
of the Nation is to be utilized to
the limit. Itnot only makes the
matter clear, but it is perfectly
fair. 1t means that there can be
no unjust exemptions. In the
beginning there was confusion.
1t is possible that in some in
stances theremay have been some
favoritism, but under the new
rules it is difficult to see how any
eligible can escape service,
except by downright dis e
honesty of the eXaminin g
and exemption boards.
must be said for these boards
that, generally speaking, they
have performed a trying and
difficult duty with zeal and intel
ligence.
The Selective Military Service
law has been a real success, and
its imperfections are being cor
rected in a way that must be
gratifying to all who believe in
our democratic form of govern
ment. Philadelphia Inquirer.

And then as we cross the river
He will meet us one by one.
