Revenue BilI's Definition of
Invested Capital Con-
sidered Faulty
Increase in Values .
Not Provided For
awRequires One Company
to Pay More Than Other
ON Same Income
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Aug. Notwith-
standing determined efforts to change
the definition OF invested capital in the
new revenue bill, it remains the same
as in the present law.
An effort will be made to amend the
definition when the bill is before the
House for consideration, but there
seems to be little chance of success, a.
though fiscal authorities consider it a
very crude definition and productive Of
much injustice.
Roughly, the present definition Of in
vested capital is that it consists of cash
paid III for capital stock, the actual
cash value of tangible property so paid
in and surplus or undivided profits
actually used in the business.
The chief fault found with this def
milton is that unrcalized profits or
gains due to the increased valuation Of
the original capital investment cannot
be counted as capital until they are re-
allied in the form Of cash.
1t affects chiefly companies of long
standing whose properties have greatly
increased in value and far out of pro-
portion to the original capital stock
Having extensive properties, but being
with small capitalization, they are en-
titled to but small deductions before
The war profits or the excess profits
tax provisions.
Old Firm Pays Most
Here is an illustration:
Say company was incorporated with
cash capital of 100000 fifty years
ago and bought 10000 acres of coal
lands at $40 an acre Under the excess
profits provision it is entitled to de
ducton of profits before computing
taxes thereon of $4,000 plus per cent,
or 81 900. An adjacent company began
business alongside the-Qther five years
ago and paid 81 ,O00,0 for 10 700 acres
of coal land, the amount Of it's capital
stock beng $l,000,000. It's per cent
and $4,000 deduction amounts to $685.
coo. yet the volume of business of the
two companies may be the same and
their profits equal.
Suppose the profits arc 100000 each.
The4 aoldera company will then pay in
come taxes on $4,000 and the newer
company on $4,000.
Both companies are really worth the
same amount, but because the capital
of the one represents present cash
values of coal land and the capital Of
the other represents the cash values
OF fifty years ago plus the increased
value. one must pay very much large r
taxes than the other on current busi-
ness activities, though both pay the
same real estate taxes
Difference of $53,600
In the case of the older company
cited above, if it's profits now are about
the same or less than they were be-
fore the war; it would fall largely
under the 70 per cent rate Of the ex-
cess profits alternative and pay taxes
amounting to $59,550, whereas the other
company would pay 35 per cent on
$1,000; that is, SIS $50, as against the
older company's $59,55O.
There arc probably hundreds of
mining. lumber and real estate cor
porations that thus arc Disseminated
against by the capital definition

An inve stigation is being conduct
ed today by Principal Jensen at the
high school tending to disclose who
the party or parties are who have been
disposing Intoxicating liquor to some
of the high school boys. At recent
affairs given by the high school 1t has
been regretted that i few OF those
boys who seem to have no conception
OF the fitness OF things nor OF their
own welfare have appeared upon the
scerc OF festivities slightly inebriat-
ed. These boys are all under age
and someone is going TO get it in the
license or otherwise for this kind OF
work il he don't cut it out. The boys
are remaining silent upon the propo-
sition. which as a matter OF fact is cx-
pectcd of every true American boy
in similar position. tut that does not
make it any the less desirable that the
people furnishing these boys with in
toxicants should be apprehended and
given the limit. /, is nothing bu,

WHEAT SMUT

One-fourt of Mason Valley wheat
crop last year was damaged and unfit
for milling purpose due to wheat
smut. Because OF the nature OF this
plant disease the smut will spread
and cause greater food loss this year
unless means are taken to CONTROL
it. Every farmer sowing wheat should
SOW clean wheat in clean ground.
Smutty wheat may be made clean by
treating with either OF the following
solutions recommended by the De-
partment OF Agriculture and Extens-
ion Service:
=, 'Formalin may be secured from any
reliable druggist. Make up the solu-
ton by mixing one pint of formalin
| 40 per cent solution OF formaldehyde)
to 40 gallons Of water. Put the grain
to be treated in sacks, about bushel
to- sack. then dip each sack into the
barrel containing the solution and al
low it to remain from to 10 minutes
so as to make sure that all the grains
thoroughly wet. Then lift the sack
and aloow the solution to drain out,
after which pile the sacks of treated
grain together and cover with bag
ging or canvas, or pour the treadcd
grain in a pile ont upon clean floor
and cover with bags or canvas from
II to "a hours. Finally spread the
grain thinly over clean floor to dry
The object OF covering the grain for
such long period after treatment is
to prevent the formalin from evapor-
ating. so that it will keep in contact
with the grains long enough to kill
the smut spores.
After this treatment the grain
should be dried as rapidly as possible
to prevent sprouting. When thorough
" dry the grain should be put in clean
bins or sacks. so as not to Re again
exposed to the disease. Sack and
bins may be disinfected by washing
with a formalin solution, using one
