The Burtlcnsomc Excess Profits Tux


THE excess profits tax has few friends
in commercial life The business COM
munty condemns ii both burdcnsome
and unfair. with partisan politics having no
part i'll the feeling against it. One of the
strongest arguments used against the tax
Is that ii IS discriminutive, in that two
concerns OF the same size. in the same line
Of business and equally successful pay dis
similar amounts to the government because
their capitalization is in different forms
III his speech of acceptance, Governor Cox
pointed out the injustice of the tax and
recommended its repeal and the substitu-
ton therefor of n Small probably z
to l 1-2 per cent--on gross sales"
This proposal by the Democratic nominee
seems to have been quite generally ignored
In the discussion OF campaign issues. This
is due. perhaps, TO a feeling on the part of
campaign speakers that the proposal does
not carry very strong appeal to tho mass
OF voters especially the man with small
pay envelope. The latter is inclined TO re-
gard lightly the protests OF the business
element ut this form OF discrimnative tax
in the belief that IL does not touch him
In this he is mistaken. because il has been
plainly demonstrated that the excess profits
tax has been major source OF prohteer-
ing The wholesaler, the jobber and the re-
taller each protects himself by pyramiding
the tax and passing il on until 1t finally
rests on the consumer. The amount of the
tax being very uncertain all OF these bust
nesses take care Of themselves. and the con-
sumner is made to contribute. not only to
government expenses, but to a sort of in
surance against loss by any concern having
part In production or distribution. Gov
eminent authorities attribute % per cent
OF the present cost of the necessaries OF
life to pyramidcd business taxes.
Hence. some of the soundest students of
taxation contend that a tax on sales would
not only be more equitable, but decidedly
less burdensome to the consumer It's
frightfulncss- is chiefly in its visibility. II
added at the foot of each purchase, with
out being absorbed in the keenness Of COM
petition among dealers, as might occur I'm
practice. the purchaser would recognize it
as tax, although it might, and likely
would, be considerably less than under the
present system OF indirectly exacting 1t from
him. 1t has been argued and this con-
clusion seems TO be soundly based that this
sales tax payable by everybody in business
would undoubtedly be largely absorbed by
competition. and, even ii not so absorbed,
the pyramided tax would in no case amount
TO more than per cent, as against the 23
per cent now eXacted from consumers under
the pyramiding OF the excess profits tax
1t is TO be regretted that the proposal
OF Governor Cox is not receiving more con-
Sideration. both in discussions in the press
ana on the hustingS The next Congress
Will be impelled to undertake some reform
OF the present taxing system and It is only
by public discussion before the people that
1t can obtain enlightenment as to their
wishes in the matter
