WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-In the
Republican caucus on the Fordney tax
revision bill to fool the people. Pres
idcnt Harding's newly assumed lead
ership in legislation got severe jolt.
The recommendations of the Presi-
dent, Secretary Mellon and the major
ity of the Republicans on the Ways
and Means Committee that the repeal
of the excess profits taxes and the re-
duction of the higher surtaxes be made
retroactive to January l last, were de-
feated by Republican insurgents led
by Congressman Mann, former Repub-
lican floor leader, supported by Con-
gressmen from the western agricul-
tural states. 80
Excess profits taxes, as is well
known, are not paid by the corpora
ton but are passed on to the consum-
er. For this year they have been paid
by the consumer for seven months and
are now in the treasures of the cor
porations. If President Harding and
his Secretary Of the Treasury and the
reactionary Republicans in the House
tcould have their way in making the
bill retroactive with respect to these
taxes, the money. so collected could
have been passed out by the corpora
lions in dividends. " As, it is. assum-
ing that the bill passes in its present
form, they will be paid into the public
treasury. i,peny
Although, the insurgent members of
the Republican caucus won a victory
III compelling the collection of these
excess profits taxes this year, 81 Re-
publicans out of 1876 voted to let the
corporations retain these taxes, and
in this mahner repay the principal
contributors to the Republican fund, {

A story comes from New York that
a Scotchman recently landed there, af-
ter having been four years at sea,
went into a bar and called for a glass
OF whiskey. He was astounded on
learning that the United States was
"dry". There appears to be many in
this country who yearn for the same
ignorance possessed by that Scotch
man. %
