Excess Profit Tax
Repeal Is Urged By
William B. CoIver

WASHINGTON, Dew. 14.-Repc2!
of excess profits tax law was urged
today by William B. Colver, of the
federal trade commission, as one
means of forcing down living costs.
at seems quite clear" said Colver
in an interview, chat one of the
chief contributing causes to the high
cost of living is the excess profits
tax. Certainly it is both burden
and temptation to business.
"In the beginning the tax, as 1 I'M
derstand it, is not a revenue device
at all. During the war when il be-
came necessary to fix prices, it was
found that there was a VIDE range
in the cost of producing any given
commodity. One concern or a group
of concerns, it was found, could pro-
duce the commodity at a price which
often left no profit at all to other
concerns or which made it impos.
sible for them to operate. There
thus was a wide range between high
cost operation and low cost opera
ton. So long as the theory Of fixing
a single price was adhered to, It
was necessary to fix that price high
enough to bring into producl ion IT, >
needed output of high cost oper l.
ton. The excess profits tax was
proposed as a means wher .1y undue
profits which might accrue to low
cost operations could be brought
back into the treasury to provide
in part the money with which the
government could pay the high fixed
price.
"In the excess profits tax whel
a concern has reached beyond what
is considered TO be It's normal in
proftableness, the surplus IS par
TALLY taken from 1t by increasing
percentages. What follows7 Waste
and extravaganza; or any effort to
make as much profit with the e lcess
profits tax in operation as though
it were not in operation. That is
done by charging excess profit tax
charges to cost prices. 1t means
collection from all the people, when
the 60 per cent excess profits lax
rate has been reached, Of dollar,
unnecessarily, in order that 40 per
cent may be added to the Invisible
profit"

SE|ZE. . WH|SkEY STILL

With the discovery and seizure Sun. day of still and all the necessary ingredients for the making of. raisin brandy. another of the chief witnesses for the state in the deportation cases has proven himself not oAly a poten. tial but an actual criminal, according to the police. The still is said to be the property of Perfecto Cortes, who. with Dominic Cotero, possessor of notorious red notebook and another of the chief witnesses in the deporfa, tion trials, and Juan Robles, organizer for the I. ". W. across the line. has been one of the mainstays of the Wobblies throughout the, case. The seizure was made on upper o. h. street. !
 The seizure was made by J. "A. Kempton. chief of policef who made determined effort to arrest Cortes, but the latter was too willy and es capped into Mexico. Both city and fed efal warrants have been issued Against him, however, and such in. Formation has been sent along the border as will result in his immediate arrest should he attempt to return to the United States.
 The still and worm were warm when the capture was made, while more than pint of the brandy had already been fathered into a glass jug. There were several gallons of raisins and liquor in the still, which is believed to have been the source of "bootleg" for several days before the. seizure. =.
 Cotero, another states witness, is under bond on an appeal from. con viction here on g charge of ?beatfns a woman. and Robles is in jail sery. ing sentence for an attempt to snatch child from his wife with a threat to carry, it across into Mexico. This attempt. 1t, is said. was made after Robles had abandoned his wife and the infant for more than two years. :. rcFE .n a .5pa4

Seeking Site For
 Delinquent School

Announcement was made yester- day that definite decision concern ing the proposed juvenile home for the semi-delinquent children of Co chise county will be made today. when the final meeting of the com mittee in charge will be held. This committee. appointed by the War ren District Commercial club to as- sist the original location committed. consisting of A. c, Lockwood. judge or the superior court: I. C. E. Ad- ans. chairman of the board of coun- ty supervisors. and James McDon- aid. sheriff. Is composed of c. w. Allen, c. F. Philbrook. Frank Bled- soc and Thomas A. Egan.
 Accompanied by Adams, the com Warren and one at the Charles Thomas ranch. over the divide. and one of these three sites will be proposed to the state.
 The home for semi-delinQuent chill dren has been made obligatory for every county of Arizona by the state law, which also carries an sppro- priation of $6O.OOO for the necessary buildings and improvements. Until the activities of the local committees were made public. it was believed that Douglas was making the only definite attempt in the county to se- cure the appropriation. but 1t is now thought that Bisbee will make even stronger bid for it.

' Here to designate officially the route to be taken in the Fl Paso to Phoenix road race on November 9, members of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce met last night with mem bers of the W&4ren District Commer- cial club and the Warren District Auto club. The meeting was pre- sided over by J. R. Henderson, presi- dent of the Auto club.
 The visitors from Fl Paso were Robert E. Rinehart, referee of the race, who is handling the event for the automutiye trades and highways department of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce; Barry Cool, member of .the same department; c. H. Lester, member of-ehe highways committee of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce, and Robert J. Pritchard, member of the automotiye department and direc, tor of publicity for the race.
 The Bisbees representatives were Dr. N C. Rledsoe. who has been ap- pointed direct representative of the Fl Paso chamber of. commerce, and who. last night was placed in charge of all the checkers and timers be- tween Fl Pasb and Phoenix; J. c. Ryan. highway engineer; J. R. Hen derson. president of the ', arren dis tricti Auto clubs M. w. Powell, secre- tary of the Auto clab; Thomas A. Egan. secretary of the Warren District Commercial club, and J. J. Bowen, good roads booster, who has been act lively engaged in putting Bisbee on the race map. Thomas Maddock, state engineer, also was present.
 The first item of interest was a ,declaration by J. J. Bowen that Bis bee will assume the responsibility of seeing that the roads of Cochise county are in good shape for the race, which, 1t was pointed out, practically assures the committee in charge that no difficulty. will be experienced in passing through the county, and will also eliminate the necessity of ask ing other cities to cooperate in this important work.
 It was then announced that the committee in charge has decided defi, nitely upon the Lorsdburg route in preference to that through the Hach- ita cutoff. The route by way of Lordsburg will be about five miles

longer, but it is said that this ob- jection is overridden by the fact that the road Is much better. The object aimed at in holding the race is the fastest time per mile, and not for the speediest trip between Fl Paso and the Arizona capital.
 In discussing the bronze plaque which is to be awarded to the county through which the racers pass at the highest speed per mile, the visitors declared that, unless all signs fall, Cochise county will win it. This dec laration is said to be supported by bets in Fl Paso that 60 miles per hour will be made between this city and Douglas.
 Dr. BledSoe has all the necessary entry and registration blanks. He has announced that all entries must be made before Oct. 20, and applica- tions should be made either with him or with Thomas Egan, the secretary of the Warren District Commercial club.
 During the discussion both Ryan, the highway engineer for the county, and Maddock, the state engineer, gave assurance that the roads for the classic will be in as good shape as possible.
 The visitors will leave today for Tucson. whence thely will go to Flor ence and Phoenix. The party. of course, is motoring.
