LEssEnINe TAX BURDENS

England has already reduced the
excess profits tax from so to 40 per
cent, and our own congress would do
well to consider whether it is wise
to discourage business enterprise by
oppressive taxes on profits and in
cidentally curtail production and
business enterprise and expansion.
The war is over and it is the bust
ness of the government to assist as
rapidly as possible in restoring nor
NAL conditions. Primarily the excess
profits tax was intended to increase
the revenue of the government and
get back from it's own over-expendi-
lures on emergency purchases por-
ton of the extraordinary outlay.
England has already instituted
policies of reform in taxation which
will do much to relieve the pressure
upon her industries and business
enterprises. We on this side of the
Atlantic must adopt the same coure
or suffer a slowing down of business
enterprise and encouragement Of
business initiative.

SOLDIERS FINDING JOBS

A generally healthy condition in
Ithis country in regard to employ
ment for labor is shown in the lat
est review of trade conditions by
the federal reserve board.
Apprehension felt few months age
over the situation arising out of the
return of the soldiers from overseas
is now found to have been groundless
and unnecessary. All the talk of w0
men keeping mems jobs and of sur.
plus of idle men had not much
foundation in fact. Instead Of great
surplus of labor, we still have need
for additional labor.
And one of the most gratifying state
ments contained in the reserve
boards statement is that the return
ing soldieds are being absorbed
promptly into civilian industry.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
the continued prosperity of the coun-
try, and even the expansion of bus
mes switch has taken place, could not
have been foreseen six months ago,
and conditions as responsible in no
small measure for the ease with
which soldiers coming home have
been absorbed into industry.
And credit should also be given to
those agencies which worked to
place the discharged soldier in a
civilian position. On the whole, a
mighty fine spirit has been shown
by American business men, who have
shown their patriotism in this way
as well as during the war. There need
be little fear that the remaining
soldiers to be demobilized will be
provided with jobs.
