From this they claimed deductions
of S6S,s09, ,644,6 and only paid
taxes on net income of SO, 0,730, $780,

staggering war profits of the prof
teers disappeared when the tax
gatherer came around
On this amount they only paid war
taxes and excess-profts taxes Of S.
142, ,445.769. or less than 20 per cent of
their net income.
You will note that manufacturing
corporations led the procession in
gross incomes. The treasury report
shows that this class of corporations
reported gross income Of $40, Az, ,716,-
$50. Their net incomes was about one
sixth-or so they reported and they
paid total tax of s1,326, ,960, ,4S0.
Wholesale and retail trade corpora
tions came next in the gross amount
|of income reported. For them the
figures show s1s,SO4,255,e1s, but after
making the deductions claimed their
total net income was only s1,4S1,-

aggregating ss2As47, 3s6. Andrew j.
