WILL ASK CREDIT MEN TOFICHT EXCESS PROFITS
 AND TAX ON SALES

San Francisco, June 1.-The Ma tional Association of Credit Men will be asked in its annual convention here tomorrow to adopt g. resolution p1ac- ing it on record as opposed to both the excess profits tax and the tax on general sales.
 The report to that effect is to be presented by Roy G. Elliott, of Chica- go, chairman of the Committee on Federal Taxation In it the commit tee demands the repeal of the excess to the adoption of any form of gen eraI sales or turnover taxes.
 In lieu of these taxes, the com mittee proposed that the Association of Credit Men adopt a resolution re affirming it's belief that income taxa. ton should be the corner stone of our federal system of taxation"
 The committee recommended that the income tax be levied only on the income of individuals and not on cor porations as such.
 If, however, individuals permit their earnings from corporations to accumulate in the hands of the bus mess organizations and thus attempt to evade the individu ual income tax, the committee recommended that a tax should be imposed on the undis- tributed earnings of the corporations.
 The resolution puts the committee on record heartily in accord with the recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, that the issue of taX-free securities should be re- Stricted-
 In support of the resolution, the Committee on Federal Taxation arg Ued that the excess profits tax is discriminatory and harmful to Amer ican business and that sales or turn over tax would be an inequitable tax on business If it could not be shift ed. If the business interests were successful in shifting the sales tax en- tirely on to the consumers. the com mittee said, this would violate the
 ':nciple of taxation in accordance

SCHOOLS TEACH
 COMMUNISM

Riga, yune 17.-Most of the young CT generation of Russians are Bol- shevik, says Captain Merton c. Coop CT, of Jacksonville, Fla, the American flyer who was captured by Russians while serving in the Polish army and recently escaped from a, Moscow prt- son. He attributes this to the BOl- shevik educational system, under which Communism is taught in the schools.
 'oThe schools are all red,'' he said, land the educational program pres cribes that the first thing to be developed in the mind of the child prison, I saw, several times, children visit their parents, the latter being anti-BoIshevik. The children were reds and accepted their parents inn prisonment philosophically. wonder ing how they could go against the tenets they had been taught to ab- sorb in the classroom
 Vying with this system of educat- ing the children, said Captain Coop CT, is the wonderful propaganda sys- tenn by which the BolSheviki attempt to convert the adults.

Plaintiffs in Superior and Common Pleas court actions where automo- piles are involved must come into

 a Supreme court decision made pub

 decision canNe in connection with mem orandum declaring no error in | the City court award of S20O to the | Dewhirst Dairy Co. against the Con- necticut Co.
 This decision was made by Judge

OVERLAND STORY FOR JEW.
ISH MONITOR.

The readers Of the Jewish Moni-
tor will be interested to know that
Mr.. John WHY'S, President Of the
Willys-O Overland Co., Of Toledo, Ohio,
who is rated as one Of Americas
leading financiers and manufacturers
is of Jewish descent.
Mr.. WHY'S also owns the controll-
ing stock in number Of Americas
leading manufacturing plants allied
to the automobile industry despite
the fact that he is president Of one Of
the largest automobile concerns in
the world. During the recent financial
stringency Mr.. WHY'S is reported to
have adjusted his affairs to the new
program Of things quicker than most
any of Americas financiers. He was
one Of the first to realize that price
reductions were the "only way out"
Of the automobile industry and char
acteristic with his quick and accurate
judgment followed by prompt actor,
he placed very substantial reductions
on both of his cars, the Overland
and Willys-Knight, very early in the
battle. This was done despite the fact
that raw materials had not declined
sufficiently to justify such reduc-
ton. The foresightedness Of Mr..
WHY'S was shown in his willingness
to lose money over a period Of many
months to not only get his factory
down to a solid basis, but also for
the benefit of the entire automobile
industry.
Mr.. WHY'S has perfected an organ
ization at Toledo which is just as
capable as any other plant in the
country Of turning out the very low
est priced automobile that could
possibly has been to build car
at the lowest possible price, which
comes fully equipped and has easy
riding qualities, and all of the nice
ties and rehnements demanded by
the car owners of today. This policy
Of giving all the comfort possible in
an automobile at a little initial cost
instead Of sacrificing everything
possible to obtain a cheap" price, is
proving its correctness by the i'm
mense sales Of his Overland car. His
Willys-Knight stands out from some
365 other makes, as it has an entirely
different motor principle-the sleeve
valve which actually improves with
use. There are $4,000 Of these in US,
today-many have run 100000 miles
Another interesting thing to know
about Mr.. WHY'S is that he is one O
