AT CROSS PURPOSES,

Governmental agencies are seem
ingly operating with two widely oil.
vergent ends in view. Under the di-
rection of the attorney general tre-
mendous campaign is being prosecut-
ed against large profits. The margin
of doing business should be close, &C
cording to the investigators and in
spectors. People are urged to cut
out" the middle man in order that
there should be less profit on the COM
modties that they purchase.
On the other hand the government
is badly in need of money. 1t is spend
ing money faster than it is collecting
it. One of the chief sources of income
OF the government comes from the OK
cess profits tax. 1t amounts to bill
lions of dollars. Now ii there are no
excess profits. if the margin OF doing
business is reduced to the point where
the profits amount to practically moth
ing what is going to take the place
of this revenue? Will the government
add to our difficulties by still further
imitation of credit through the issu-
ance of bonds? That would be max
ng matters worse. 1t would add an
other burden to the cost of living and
still further encourage speculation
an extravaganza. The great expense
and debt incurred in the world war
cannot be met without a tremendous
tax burden. The people cannot bear
this burden unless they are prosper
ing.
