Those attending the lecture in the
Board of Trade course Wednesday
evening, given by D. S. Palkes Cad
man of Brooklyn, N. Y, left amply
repaid. The speaker was introduced
by Rev M. G. Folsom, and took for
his subject "The Mission of The Re
public" He opened by saying that il
the conference Of Washington accom-
plished nothing else othen than to
enable us to understand humanity it
will have accomplished wonders. If
it takes up the tangled threads left
by the world conflict and weave them
it will have done well. He spoke Of
the passing of Egypt, Assyria and the
Orient and it's great men and went on
to Greece and her great men, her ora
tors and philosophers; to Rome and
her wonders and leaders. Coming
down to our own nation he told of
attending the ter-centenial at Ply
mouth. He said that the Puritans did
not come here to establish a republic
for they were nonarchist. Then came
the men of the 18th century, Wash
nigton and Alexander Hamilton. The
lives of these men are proof that we
as a nation, were destined as ims-
sionaries. He said that he would in
terpret America not by her people, but
by her great men of which Lincoln
was perhaps the apex. If we, as q
nation, fail in our duty some ether
nation will take our place, for the
Lord has said that the mission shall
be accomplished. He uestioned wieth-
er the United States was not sacri-
ficing quality to quantity in regard
to her inhabitants. Then he went on
and told of some of the great men of
today; to President Harding and Sec.
Hughes. When the latter began his
speech opening the conference, we
were in the shadow of death and
when he closed, the dawn had broken.
DIR. Cadman injected frequent sallies
Of scintillating wit causing many a

I (c) As this is the Country of all
the people, all the people should have
some part in supporting the govern
ment. and certain part of the reven-
ues may justly be raised by means Of
the tariff and other consumption
taxes.
| (d) While recognizing that the
first consideration in any scheme of
taxation is the raising of revenue, its
collateral effects must not be lost sight
of and in so far as practicable, the
taxes should be so levied as to tend
to the distribution of wealth in the
hands of the many and not its con-
centration in the hands Of the few.
Taxes can only be paid from two
sources-net income and capital.
Under the Excess Profits Tax the
corporation has first an allowance of
s., 900 and per cent on the invested
capital (Sec. 3l2) then the rate is 20
per cent up to 20 per cent on the in
vested capital and 40 per cent of the
net income above that figure. Eight
per cent and $4,000 exemption on net
profit and then only 20 per cent up to
20 per cent on the capital does not
seem to be an excessive burden.
Arguments for the repeal of the tax
are as follows:
First: It is heavy burden on busi-
ness. This is answered in paragraph
above.
Second: The amount of invested
capital can not be determined and the
law was unavoidable. The answer is
! that the law has been in effect since
1917 and invested capital is now fairly
we'll determined and when once it is
determined the adjustment each year
proper remedy is not it's abolition, but
is comparatively simple matter. The
the improvement of its administra-
tion.
Third: The amount of revenue from
this source is diminishing. This might
be an argument for increasing the
Fourth: The tax is passed on in
aggravated form to the consumer and
adds as much as % per cent to the
H. c. L.. Please note it is the cor
porations, who pay the tax, and not
the public, who are asking for its re-
peal; that is sufficient.
Fifth: That it excites hostility be-
cause the details of the corporate bus
mess have to be set forth. This works
for good every way. It will put a
curb on false statements to stock.
holders and to the public and tends
to the establishment of sound and ade-
quate methods of accounting.
! The arguments for retaining the
tax are:
First: We need the money. It is
one of the largest sources of revenue
the Government has.
Second: It is based on net income
the correct principle. Every dol
lar collected by this tax comes from
profits after liberal allowance has
been made for dividends and expan-
sion of capital.
| Third: The tax is progressive and
the higher rate 40 per cent does not
apply until after the corporation has
20 per cent on it's invested capital.
The Sales Tax as set forth by it's
friends is purely consumption tax.
The theory is that all will be passed
on to the ultimate consumer. You
know how much you can add to the
price of your grain or cattle or dairy
products. AS much of the farmers
