Genuine regret was expressed by
high Treasury officials, bankers,
brokers. business men and others at
the recent sale of the little lunch
room, which was forced by the III
health of Mr. Ford. Probably no
lunchroom in the United States had
a more democratic list of patrons than
Ford and Graham's. IT was n daily

Treasury Mchdoo or some millionaire
banker or broker sitting alongside of

taken occasion to eat at this little
place. which soon became famous for

NEW TAX BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
Mcleod Plan Repeats Excess
Profits Levy, Assesses Cor
p0ration Incomes IS p. c.

Representing the Ideas OF Cndir-
man Fordney OF the Ways and
Means Committee, respecting the
Republican program for revision OF
internal taxes, Congressman Clar-
ence j. Mcleod, the twenty-five
year-old member from Michigan, in
troduced a bill in the House today
repeating the excess profits tax and
providing a flat tax of Is per cent
to be levied on all corporation
profits.
CUTS OUT $1,000 EXEMPTION.
Besides simplifying all corporation
income taxes. II eliminates the $1,000
exemption now allowed on corpora
ton earnings and eliminates also
tax exemptions and allowances for
railroads.
The bill was introduced after it
had received the Endorsement Of
Chairman Fordney. being intended to
pave the way for taxation revision in
the lower House after March 4. next.
Treasury experts estimate that
$4,000, 900 additional revenue can be
secured by taxes gained from corpor-
atoms now making under $4,000" de-
cIared Congressman Mcleod. "Mr.
Fordney has made a detailed study OF
statistics relative to this bill and he
is of the opinion that IT will provide
more revenue for the Government
than under the present internal reve-
nue. taxation law.
NO ACTION THIS SESSION.
II do not expect action on this bill
during the present session. but it will
serve the purpose OF putting before
the House the new taxation program
which Chairman Fordney believes Is,
the best remedy for existing condi-
tions.
Under this bill the obnoxious eX-
cess profits tax will be repealed. The
corporation income tax will be so SIM
pie that it will be unnecessary to
call in tax experts and lawyers to
make out tax returns.
"The productivity of the present in
tcrnal revenue act is constantly dimin-
fishing, and its yield is too uncertain
TO permit 1t being relied upon as a
definite means Of producing a given
amount of revenue said Mcleod.
Its complexity is so difficult of
demonstration that the time con-
sumed by the Treasury Department
in arriving at a final determination OF
the majority of the excess profit re-
turns Is far too great and creates an
uncertainty in the business world
which !. harmful, and should not
CAlSt. uHu tIldt many VI Tic "
turns for 1917 have not vet been
finally closed. 1t unjustly intimates
that any profit of a corporation above
5 per cent is excessive"
PROMOTES EXTRAVAGANCE.
THE administration of the provis-
ions for determining the tax by refer
ence to representative concerns in
those cases in which invested capital
cannot be satisfactorily determined is
proving an utter failure. 1t has en-
couraged extravaganza in business
management, as it created the idea
that as from 60 to 80 per cent of the
expenditure would be in reality borne
by the Government, almost any eX-
penditure was warranted.
Chairman Fordney is highly dis
satisfied with the present internal
revenue act" said Mcleod. HE says,
and with authority. that it requires
so much information and data from
the taxpayer that a feeling of hos
tility in his mind against the tax very
readily arises, all of which further
complexities it's administration"
