Face the Facts

Division of property, creation OF
trusts and the like.
Not all of these things can be con-
trolled by law or by regulation" he
continued. land most of them lead to
unnatural and frequently harmful
economic results. TO reach the evil
the thing most necessary is the re-
duction of the surtax rates them
selves, in order to reduce the pres
sure for avoidance and maintain
the revenues derived from the sur
tax.
Until some such REIMBURSEMENT is
made the yield of the higher surfaces
will tend, in the ordinary course of
events, to drop toward the vanishing
point. The wise course is to reform
the surtaxes now while the system
still functions and at the same time
to close, SO far as possible. the gaps
hich now exist. On this basis the
revision can be made without loss Of

tial revival of BUSINESS. Prices OF
commodities have risen materially,
the volume of business has been
mounting to higher levels and labor
throughout the country is again
fully employed.
1.-The year is closing with bounti-
full crops" the report continues, "and
the severe depression in agriculture
has been relieved. Banking condi-
tons generally are sound, money
rates are reasonable, and there is
sufficient credit available to meet all
legitimate demands.
In the Treasury the year has seen
reduction in the gross debt "a
mounting to about $1,000, 900, 900,
balanced budget for the fiscal year
1922, showing a surplus of over
$3O0,000,000 above expenditures, and
substantial progress in the refunding
of the short-dated debt, which has
now been reduced to manageable
proportions. These developments are
all helpful, and afford the basis for
a revival Of business and industry
OH sound lines"
INV tiio ottudtlOh, HOWcNcT, r.
Mellon injects note of warning.
He says the restriction of immigra-
ton and the general resumption Of
industrial activity have resulted in
a scarcity of labor embarrassing to
some lines of business. He adds that
the railroads are suffering from un-
dermaintenance and inadequate e.
quipment. and are findir it difficult
to move commodities to meet the de-
mands of business. AS e consequence
farm products are selling too low at
the farm and too high at the distri-
buting centers.
The Secretary also declares that
the increase of 81 ,000,00O,OOO in the
gold holdings in. this country since
l919-192O has tendency to expand
credit and create an unnatural case
OF money for purposes of expansion
and credit. Then, too, he calls at
tentlon that the uncertain state in
Europe has impaired the corrective
forces which used to- operate in nor
MAI times and has SO reduced the
puylng power of foreign countries
as to destroy or endanger the for
eign markets for many American
products.
Enough forces are operating" he
continued, ito make us cautious in
estimating the prospects for the flu
ture and take care lest we build on
false basis. Business in this coun-
try can not progress indefinitely
without its foreign markets, and un
due expansion now, with rising costs
and artificial values, would newt.
ably SOW the seeds of reaction and
make more difficult the reestablish- :
mept of normal relationships abroad.
"The Treasury aims above all to
keep it's house in order in the. belief
that sound financial structure here
will in the long run afford the best
basis for extending needed assistance
to Europe and for q healthful reviv-
al of domestic business on construc- !
tive lines" - =

revenue, and, in the long run, with
material benefit to the revenues"
To support his argument that the
high surtaXes gradually are defeat
ing their own purpose" he calls at
tention that while net incomes of all
classes during the period from 1916
to 1920 increased from $6,29S, 577, 500
in 1916 to $23.735, 629,1S3 in 1920, and
the number of returns from 437,O36 in
1916 to 7,259,944 in 1920, the number
of returns of incomes over 100000
decreased during the same period
from 1896 in 1916 to 1886 in 1920,
and the amount of incomes over
100000 from 992,972,9S6 in 1916 to
S246,354,5S5 in 1920.
Illustrating the actual workings
under the provisions of the existing
law for the exchange of property
held for investment for other proper
ty Of a like kind without the real
ization of taxable income, Mr.. Mel
lon says a taxpayer who purchases
a bond for $1,000 which appreciates
in value may exchange that bond
for another of the value of $1,000,
together with 500 in cash, without
the realization of taxable income.
"This provision Of the act is being
widely abused" he adds.
Aside from his recommendations
for tax revisions. Mr.. Mellon deals
in his report with conditions gener-
ally over the country and with the
operations of the various divisions of
the Treasury. He sounds an opti-
mistic note as to the business out
look and reports substantial progress
both in the reduction of the public
debt and in economy in public ex-
penditures.
The past twelve months, he says,
have been marked by further liqui-
dation and recovery from depression,
