Steel Corporation Head Presents Op-
timistic Outlook on Business
Conditions.

New York-Following his practise
Of years, Ebert H. Gary, chairman OF
the board of the United States Steel
corporation, has issued his forecast OF
American business conditions for the
next II months, looking forward" as
he expressed it, "by looking backward
20 years."
Commerce, he believes, is bound to
take the upward trend, but IF we dc
not have prosperity this year it will
be because of agitation and laws, no
matter what their altruistic guise,
which are directed against the gen.
eral welfare"
The nations business, he concludes.
can weather the present burden of
taxation, but to add more taxes would
be to put "the future in doubt"

SURVEY SHOWS FEDERAL TAXES
HIGHER THAN IN 1919

Republican claims that Federal tax.
alton has decreased under the Harding
administration are challenged by the
statements Of the National Industrial
Conference Board, representing large
number of American manufacturers.
This organization contends that in
stead of reduction of taxes there has
been an increase compared with 1919.
- In the United STATES Federal taxes
alone totaled 4;925,ooo,ooo in 1919
and in 1921 reached total of $780,
100000, which appeared to be de-.
crease Of 11.2 per cent. The report of
the conference contends, however, that
inasmuch As the 1921 dollar had pur-
chasing power of 269 per cent less
than the 1919 dollar, Federal taxes in
1921 were actually Is per cent higher
than in 1919,
The National Industrial Conference
was not concerned in this report with
partisan politics, so it did not take the
trouble to point out that a Democratic
administration was in power in 1919.
The Harding administration came into
control of tho Government in 1921 n
