. Seized in Raid.

Undismsyed by one failure to OBJ

said to have been seized by the gov
ernment after the 5000, 900 bond
thefts in New York, T. Morris Wam-
pier, counsel for Norman s. Bowles
and D. w. Sullivan, who are charg-
ed with conspiracy. made another
attempt yesterday. He filed re-
plevin suit against the clerk OF the
District Supreme Court to recover
the papers.
Justice Gould refused wampler's
original demand for the papers in
Criminal Court on Monday. after he
had filed fve separate motions to
quash the indictments against his
clients. The court ordered the doc
uments impounded with Clerk
Beach.
These papers, wampler contends,
are the private and personal prop
erty of his clients, who, as co-part-
ners. composed the brokerage firm
of Sullivan and Company. which
after the two partners were charged
with participating in the huge bond
peculations- Most Of the papers, 1t

CHANGES IN TAX
METHOD URGED
Roper Says Excess Profits
And Income Laws Work
Hardships.
HITS THE WEAK POINTS
Says Peace Conditions Make
War Revenue Methods
Out of Date.

A severe arraignment Of the
present income and excess profits
tax laws and the methods by which
the taxes are computed was made
by Daniel c. Roper, former Internal
Revenue Commissioner. in a state
ment issued here yesterday. He
charges that the administration OF
the tax laws works relentless harm
upon the taxpayer.
The income tax law has appeal
ed to the people as equitably found
ed on the fundamentals of placing
the burden on those best able to
pay" Mr.. Roper said. The present
tax law. II equitably administered.
is beyond doubt the most equitable
tax law yet devised. The develop
ment of this law. however, is so
new that its proper application has
been missed.
Terms Inexaet.
The term excess profits is in
exact and confusing. We borrowed
it during the war from the English
! system. 1t .presupposes the existence
of abnormal or improper earnings.
Such profits could be recognized
under war conditions. but are very
hard to identify in times of peace,
when equal commercial opportuni-
ty and the free operation of supply
and demand have been reestablished.
The excess profits tax. with its
uniform treatment of all kinds of
business. ignored entirely the va
riable elements of risk, enterprise
and initiative. In framing the law
of February "a, 1919, Congress en-
deavored to avoid the very disaster
that Is now impending by the So
called relief provisions 1 refer es-
pecially to the section providing that
in case a taxpayer sustains net
less for the taxable year beginning
after October l, 1918, and ending
prior to January 1, 1920. such net
loss may be deducted from the in
come of the preceding year.
Conditions Changed.
This provision was enacted in
expectation OF the condition we now
confront. Unfortunately the period
has occurred after the conclusion of
the period specified by law. The re.
suit is no provision to take care OF
the tremendous shrinkages that
have taken place since January l..
1890.
This deficiency of the law should
have the prompt attention of Con-
gress so that the income taxpayers
affected may file claims for credit
against the financial mstallment of
1919 taxes, which falls due on De-
cember Is.
Every consideration of logic and
justice requires that this provision
should be made psrmanent feature
of the law"

There exists in marine affairs al

There has been a serious lessen.

The Admiral also asks the CO.

adds:
"Our attention has been called to
the lack of discipline on shore
among some of the officers and sea-
men of vessels touching at foreign
ports. This situation is resulting in
some vessels becoming delayed with
consequent expense, or having to
sail short handed. 1t should be
