The secretary cites statistics to il
lustrate his point. He SHOWS that in
1919 the sum of SS0O,000,000 was col
lected in surtaxes. In 1920 this had
declined to S590,000,000; in 1921 to
$3.50 600 900 and the estimated surtaS
return for 1922 is placed by the Sec
rotary at only $3.50 GOO, 900 There di-
minishing returns from the surtax, in
spite of the fact that the rate has re-
manned the same prove, in the Secre-
tary's opinion, that in spite of every
thing the Internal Revenue bureau
can do, taxpayers are finding out each
year more ways to avoid the payment
of taxes. The secretary insists that
/ this constitutes the killing of the
/ goose that lays the golden eggs.
{ On large incomes the rates, in
Guiding surtax. amount to IS per cent
as a maximum - more than half 4
mans income. No man, the Secre-
I tary asserts, no matter how wealthy,
likes to see more than half. of his
years income taken away. He is urg-
I irfg. congress to fix a maximum rate of
about SO percent.
It may be recalled that during the
, war Baron Astor paid an income tax
of about 125 per cent, according to re-
ports then printed. That is. he had to
/ turn ov6r to the tax collectors every
( single cent he made during the year
and, in. addition, dig down into his
pocket and find 25 percent more. This
( arose from the fact that he was amen
able to both American and British in
come taxes, deriving income from both
countries.
n While such an arrangement is en-,
durable in time of war, it is illogical
in peace times, in the opinion of Sec
rotary Mellon and other advocates OF

By FREDERICK 5. HAsKIN


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IS. -
This winters session Of congress
promises to bring spirited contest
over certain aspects of federal taxa
ton. During the war period, when
the public understood that the coun-
try faced an emergency, less. attention
was paid to what might be called the
scientific equilibrium of taxation. The
public knew the government needed
money to keep up its vast war eXpen-
ditures and the taxes were paid, gen
orally without very much question.
With the war over and the people
showing a growing tendency to anal
we such matters, the various taxes
are coming in for close scrutiny TO
determine their fairnes and their rel
alive wisdom.
sThree vital points will be up for dis
cussion during this winters session
and, in all probability, there will be
| legislation on some if not all of them.
! They are: first, the question of sur
taxes; second, the tax exemption o.
municipal and state securities, and,
THIRD, the taXability of undivided sur
pluses. On every one of these ques-
4 tions, members of both houses are
divided, so the session promises to
produce some lively tax contests.
The question Of surtaXes is one in
volving the economic law of diminish
| ing returns. Another way of STATING
the matter is to say it involves kill
ing the goose that lays the golden
eggs.
Surtaxes are paid only by compar
atively wealthy people and by great
corporations. To become liable foi
surtaxes means that a large income
is being enjoyed. There are two
schools of thought on the ques
One is that the people and corpora
tions who are getting big incomes
should be taxed to the limit. The
opposing theory is that such taxation
is discrimination and will inevitably
defeat itself by provoking all manner
of legal evasions of taxes. This the
DRY is that a rich man or corporation
will nay a good round tax if he thinks
1t fair and the government will ge
much revenue out of such payments
but that if he thinks the tax is unfair
he will do everything he can to defea
it's purposes. Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon declares that the govern
ment will get a bigger revenue out o.
a moderate surtax than out of wha
may be regarded as an extortionatt
surtaX.
Many Ways to
Evade Surtax.
One of the highest officials of the
government recently boosted that hi
knew a hundred ways to evade the
surtaxes. This in all probability was
no exaggeration. 1t is possible, fol-
instance, for a rich man to hand hi.
property over to his heirs, thus di
viding it up into so many parts tha
no one of them will have to pay mucf
surtax. BY such method, the ag
gregate of the taxes on the seyera

federal government may not interfere
with the rights of states and cities to
declare their securities exempt from
taxation. Secretary Mellon has rec
commended to congress that the con-
stitution be amended so that the fed
eral government may interfere to the
extent of levying the income tax on
the incomes from such bonds.
About $1,000, 100000 of fresh secur-
tiles Of this class are issued by states
and cities every year, so the volume OF
tax free income is increasing rapidly.
Such tendency makes the people
who do not own such securities pay
higher rate as in effect they must
make up the share of revenue which
the holders of the tax exempt secur-
tiles avoid paying.
The third taxation problem is that
presented by undivided SURPRISES of
corporations. The supreme court of
the United States and the treasury de-
partment have held that distribution
of these SURPRISES which have been ac-
cumulated over a number of years, are
not directly subject to the income tax
| in given circumstances. This has pro-
voked much criticism. Representative
James A. Frear of Wisconsin is cham
pioning new legislation which clearly
will define such distributions as tax
able. He asserts that corporations
should not be permitted to divide sur
plus earnings in this way without
meeting the tax. The attitude of Sec
rotary Mellon and others is that cor
porations should be encouraged to ac-
cumulate SURPRISES as large accumula-
lions of capital are invaluable in Civ
ing solidity to business enterprises and
making expansion and development
possible. Varying political views are
involved in these tax controversies
and the various phases have cham
pions on eafh side. There are many
people who think it possible for con
gress to pass an act that will make
tax lodging impossible, either by in
dividuals or by corporations.
The controversy with its arguments
concerning the relative fairness of the
various taxes recalls an observation Of
a high official Of the treasury who was
hearing a case The attorney for the
taxpayer who wanted to get his tax
reduced said to the official: '"The tax
you have imposed is inequitable."
The official replied: You surprise
me. Did you expect to find any equity
in taxes? Did you ever hear OF an
Equitable taxi"
That is the whole tax question in a
nutshell The tax collector comes
along and takes a part of your earn
, ings The only question is how much
the government wants and in what
manner it shall be taken. This is the
4 reason why no tax will ever please
: and satisfy everybody.

Amber is the product of pine trees.

flowed through broken limbs and hung
for many years until the pine became
