War Profits Tax and Excess Profits
Tax-The Difference.

by a war profits tax we mean a tax
upon profits in excess of those realized
before the war
"By an excess profit tax we mean a
tax upon profits in excess of given re-
turn upon capital.
The theory of war profits tax is
to tax profits due TO the war.
The theory of an excess profit tax
is to tax profits over and above given
return on capital The excess profits
tax falls less heavily on big business
than on small business, because big
business il generally overcapitalized and
small businesses are often undercapi.
talized,
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 lover and gradu-
ated rates"
The above extract from Secretary Of
the Treasury MeAdoo's testimony before
the House ways and means committee
gives his differentiation between war
profits and excess profits taxes and ex-
plains his position in urging upon Con.
gress an excess profits tax with an alter
native war profits tax in the forthcoming
revenue legislation.
To the average citizen Secretary Nc
Adoos position seems we'll taken Most
small and local corporations are capital
lied at an actual valuation. Many Of
the very large corporations arc greatly
overcapitalized; the stock OF some Of
them has been repeatedly watered. With
only an excess profits tax corporation
earning 10 per cent on grossly watered
capital will pay the same tax as an.
other corporation not overcapitalized
earning 10 per ceht on the real, actual
valuation of the money and property
invested in its business The profits Of
the first oorpatlon might be 80 per
cent on it's actual valuation, and IL is
to cover such cases that a war profits
tax is urged
AS many Of these large corporations
are engaged in government work and
drawing huge sums from the United
States, il seems particularly just that
they should pay taxes ON the same actu.
al basis as corporations not over.cap-
italized. A tax that taxes equally a 10
per cent profit on unwatered capital is
not equal and uniform and scarcely Just.

ed the following regarding the work Of
former members of the scientific staff
of the biological survey, United States
department of agriculture.
AS you may have heard five or eleven
times already, this is scientific war
Whenever any annoyance or an actual
menace to the army is discovered, scien-
tifc steps are taken to annihilate the
pest.
Even the cootie is doomed Il is
said that the research work is in charge
of an officer to be designated as a cooten-
ant But this story is about rats.
"The rat, figuratiyely, is about to be
trapped A year or so ago there was
mana member of the biological survey
who had great success IN exterminat-
ing the prairie dogs out in Kansas and
Colorado. When America came into the
war, somebody in the war department
suggested that maybe this scientific ex-
terminator Of prairie dogs was so good
at the job he might be able to solve the
rat problem in the trenches. So they
ordered him over here to give the rats
critical and microscopic look.
He came over and went up front and
studied the rodent He studied it by and
large, hither and yon, here and there,
and through and through. He found out
what it liked for supper, and its favor.
lite flower and How it cared gor it's young
And he doped out way to lessen its
rayages il not actually to exterminate
II.
He found out, too, that not all the
rat trouble is at the front. A large
part of it is at the base ports, where
the rats get into the big storehouses,
and cause damage to the food and cloth
ing waiting to go to the front Often
the rats 60 right along up with the food
and clothing
"The rat specialist made his report
and recommended that some men be
sent to assist him II is said that his
request has been granted and that sue
cessful barrage against the rat already
has been laid down"

Looking Ahead in the Poultry Business

Looking Ahead In the Poultry Business.
The time has arrived for you to plan
for your fresh winter egg supply. Pull
lets are going to be very high and
scarce, and if you have to purchase any,
it should be done right away
The next question is the capacity Of
your hen house. 1t does not pay to
crowd them, it stops egg production and
disease is more apt to be prevalent; nei-
Their does it pay to have too few birds,
especially in this cold climate The house
should contain enough birds so that their
animal heat viii keep them comforta-
BILE at night Heavy breeds should have
four square feet per bird, in focks up to
20 birds; and three and one-half square
feet for hocks varying from 20 to $50;
three square feet per bird in flocks of 200
or more. For the lighter birds, three and
one-half square feet, three square feet.
and two and one-haf square feet, re-
spectivey, would be a fair proportion.
Your county agent or the extension
service Of the University of Vermont and
state agricultural college can cell you
where You can purchase the pullets or
hens; also about how TO Gull these birds.
