cation Company. He is well known in

WOULD ABOLISH TAX
ON EXCESS PROFITS
Otto H. Kahn Urges Levy on All
Purchases Above the Sum
of s..

Abolition OF the excess profit tax, which
he characterized as "freakish' and un-
sound, and substitution of a tax on all
purchases over 81. to be paid by the
purchaser. was advocated yesterday by
Otto III. Kahn, the banker, in an address
before the Association of Credit Men at
luncheon in the Robert Treat Hotel,
Newark, n. ]. Mr.. Kahn attributed the
high cost of living and industrial and
economic dislocation to the continued
operation Of the tax.
Il have always favored a progressive
income tax and would not advocate any
scheme of taxation which would spare
wealth. Mr. Kahn declared. THE upper
scale of our taxes is, however, so extreme
that it has defeated its own purpose by
driving capital into tax exempt securities
The result is that our investment market
has largely ceased to function, which fact
is in considerable part responsible for our
present strained money and credit posi-
tion.and is menace both to our domestic
and foreign trade"
Mr.. Kahn characterized as "a delusion"
peace treaty by Congress would set in
motion free flow of American credits
in Europe. He said the only hope for the
necessary financing of European industry
lay with private capital, and gave il as
his opinion that unless surtaxes were
removed private capital could not provide
the funds.
"If our income and excess profit taxes
had the effect of breaking the vicious
circle of price boosting and wage boost
ing, If these taxes had power to eliminate
or curb profiteering, much might be for
given them,' he continued. But expert
ence has proven that not only have they
no such power. but indeed they have
tended to intensity those evils. To deal
with these things measures of quite diff
ferent nature are required"
Discussing the tax he proposed. Mr.
Kahn said it had been employed success
fully during the civil war, and estimated
that it would produce from 81, 1000 to
81, 900. 100000 a year. according to whether
it were applied to wholesale as well as
retail transactions. In the event of 1t be-
ing applied only to retail business, Mr..
Kahn declared a scale could be put into
effect ranging from one per cent on small
purchases to ten per cent on large ones.
Mr.. Kahn gave it as his opinion that
such tax would permit abolition of the
income tax on incomes under $1,000 year.
