Baruch Gives $25O,OOO
to Take Profit From, War

New York.-For study Of the posi-
bility Of maintaining world peace by
taking the profit out Of war, Bernard
NJ. Baruch has given at least $25O,OOO
to the Walter Hines Page school Of in
ternational relations at Johns Hopkins
university, Owen D. Young, chairman
Of the trustees, has announced.
Investigation will be carried on at
Johns Hopkins and at foreign univer-
stiles, the exact amount Of the gift to
depend on the costs Of the studies over
a period of at least three years, posi-
bly, 100000.
In a letter to Mr.. Baruch regarding
the gift Mr.. Young wrote:
by taking the profit out Of the war
we understand you to mean that you
would limit profits through regulation
so as to prevent proflteering. Certainly,
an absence Of such profits would tend
to repress that jingoism which encour-
ages war, and, If war were begun, to
shorten rather than prolong 1t.
IF profit Is eliminated from war
everywhere, and IL the mobilization
Of things and dollars Is carried along
on the same basis with the mobiliza-
ton Of men in all countries verging
on war, there will be less likelihood
Of joining in the battle"

COMPILE DATA
/ LOOKING 10
TAX GUT
Mellon Sees Little Hope
For Reduction on
Small Incomes.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Aug. l.
With the return here next week Of
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
Treasury actuaries will begin prepar-
alton of tax data for the House ways
and means committee which meets in
October for consideration Of the 1925
tax reduction.
Statistics thus far compiled by ex-
perts have beer submitted TO Presi-
dent Coolidge for his information in
drafting the administrations policy.
Both the small and large taxpayer
must be beneficiaries Of the new
revenue law, according to letters re-
ssived by the Treasury from mem
ksrs of the House ways and means
evmmittee and congressional leaders.
MAY OPPOSE PLAN.
The proposal of several members
of the ways and means committee that
the exemption clause be increased to
5000 is expected 70 meet the OPP
position Of Mellon. Such an exemp-
sson would cut about Sl5O.OOO,OOO
annually off the governments revenue
and decrease the number Of taxpayers
by nearly 100000.
Should the exemption be increased,
the government would have TO rely
on about 100000 income taxpayers
for about $780, 100000 revenue.
Treasury experts asserted that such
drastic step is impossible. They
pointed out that If taxes are TO be
reduced from S300000,000 to $780,
900. 1000 as contemplated by the adj
nfinistration, the number Of taxpayers
must be increased instead Of cut.
ASSURE SUR TAX CUT.
The attitude Of congressional lead
ers as expressed in letters TO Mel
Ion make certain a cut in the sur
tax, which, according to Treasury ex-
rjerts. will be from u IL TO 20 per
cent. 1t is declared this sur tax
will yield greater revenue than the
old By increasing the number OF tax
payers.
Figures on personal taxes indicat-
ing the amounts paid by the various
classes are:
Incomes under S5000-6, 752, GIG
persons pay S74.3S3,000.
$1,000 to 1O0.OO0-941,523 persons
pay s41s,799.000.
Over 800, OO0-41S2 persons pay
s21O679,OO0.
Mellon does not favor a cut IN the
tar rate for incomes under $1,000 al
though he may agree to a slight re-
duction should the investigation DIS
close that it can be accomplished
without endangering the governments
financial position.
NO HOPE FOR CUT.
Nor is a reduction in the II il
per cent corporation tax favored. TINS
tar last year yielded approximately
$500 600 600, about 100000 corpora
TORS filing returns.
Government experts feel that further
material reduction Of official ex-
penses would prove poor economy
since a penny saved might actually |
cost a dollar in efficiency. For this
reason the only solution TO the tax !
reduction problem is in the enactment |
Of a revised plan which BY more |
eouitably adjusting the burden viii
permit rate cuts and yet increase /
the governmental revenue.
