side. Opening quotations, which
ranged from sc decline TO &c ad-
vance with May s1.12 to S1.12A and
July $I.OiL to si.Oih, were followed
by a moderate general setback and
then something OF a rally.
Later the weakness became more
pronounced as a result Of lower pre-
miums for red winter grades here.

REDUCTIONS IN

made UP Of the private property Of the
individual citizens-of all the people
and anything that unnecessarily takes
away from the accumulated property
necessarily injuriously affects the peo-
pie as a whole"
Discussing the proposed adjustment
OF the tax on business profits, Mr.. Mel
Ion suggests no specific rates, but calls
attention that tho repeal of the excess
profits tax made necessary an increase
Of 2B per cent In the corporation in
come tax n that this. with the cap
ital stock tax, makes the total levy on
corporations approximately fifteen per
cent.
When we remefber. he writes, "that
h great bulk OF the business Of the
country. both large and small. is car
ried or under corporate form and that
the net income must largely be distrib-
uted in dividends and that these divi.
dends are then in turn subject to sur
tax. In the hands of persons receiv-
ing them, It is at once seer that the
resulting taxation to persons engaged
in productive business IS very heavy,
for instance a stakeholder subject to
surtax at 10 per cent really pays about
~ S1AN vi AA3 NAaGAlAsF hAlAAt a
stakeholder subject 10 q so per cent
surtax would be taxed about S. per
cent on such profits"
Declaring that there were two "chief
obJections" TO tho present high state
tax rates. running UP to % per cent on
the total value of estates. MI. Mellon
says much OF what he has said re
spectiug h high sirtaxes applies
equally to the estate taxes. Another
objection he sets forth is that in many
instances. a forced liquidation of es-
tates to obtain tn Unnecessary money to
pay the taxes. result in loss to the es.
tate as wei as to every one else who
IS interested in these properties. es-
peciaIly II at the same time they de.

Referring to the often repeated
statement that the tax laws need
sinplincation. Mr.. Mellon declares
that tho greatest simplifcation that
can be made is in the reduction of the
rates"

asserts. there vas not much diff
Guilty in the administration of the law
even though the system was entirely
new and the organization administer
ing it. unfarsiliar with the operation
OF such a law. The completely Of the
law so far as It concerns the income

high rates which make every point
that arises involve substantial
amounts OF money. and which mean
that each possible question is contest

eminent and result in delay in the
collection Of the revenue. irritation and
annoyance and expense on the part of
lie taxpayer and costly litigation.
With Tolerate rates. very much Of this
difficulty would disappear.
