THIS talk about you ''never could smoke

you can smoke pipe. It's just matter

jimmy-pipe and start fresh with
Prince Albert. That's the prescription
that has brought pipe-jOy to millions.
P. A. is SO genuinely friendly. 1t hits

citizens of Delaware that our fair
and wise policy toward corporations
shall not be made a cloak for es-
Gaping taxes by citizens of Della
ware who should justly bear their
part of State burdens.
Future Prospects of the Office
"The additional clerical force nee
essary to straighten out the records
of the department and to collect de-
linquent taxes has cost about $4,000
since the work was undertaken. 1t
will probably cost $4,000 in addi-
tional force to complete the arrears
of work. These additions have been
necessary to check and readjust the
returns of former years; a less num-
ber will be required for continuing
the work from year to year. 1t
seems probable that the reOrganized
and up-to-date Office can be Oper-
ated in the future, under the ad-
dressograph system, at an annual
cost of $4,000, including the salar-
les of the necessary auditors. This
additional salary cost will be return
ed several times over in additional
taxes collected. 1t can be said with
certainty that no method of opera
tion or commitment already made
will, in any way, necessitate addit-
ional expenditure by the legislature,
if it is deemed best to return to the
methods of the past instead of those
now being developed.

SAPO4oCs
designed to reach income that would
otherwise escape under corporate
cloak, possibly this tax should be re-
vised and become a corporation in
come tax, but, in revision, great care
should be taken not to disturb the
use of and benefit derived from cor
porations and not to cause doubling
of tax or the assessment of income
owned outside of the State.
Present Law Simple
"The Income Tax and Corpora
ton Invested Capital Tax Laws are
strictly State revenue measures.
True to their purpose and title, they
should contain no paragraphs or
sections tending to restrict or reg
ulate the individual or the corpora
ton or to extend the effect of the
law beyond the State borders.
eff regulation of personal or cor
porate affairs may be needed, such
regulation should be presented
squarely on its merits in a separate
bill, as the law intends and pro-
vides.
"This report is submitted in the
belief that the State Income Tax
Law, as it now exists, is as simple,
direct and fair in general form as
is possible to make it. Zone might
make exception of it's exemption
provision.) By some inconsiderable
notifications it may be improved,
but it does not need complete re-
vision or rewriting. AS to the Cor
pOration Invested Capital Tax Law,
no such opinion is to be entertain
ed. The situation demands most
careful study, keeping in mind the
end desired, i. e., to reach income
that is properly classified as belong
ing to this State and that would
otherwise escape taxation under the
Income Tax Law. To accomplish this
end without injury to the people of
other States who have entrusted
their property to the care Of cor
porations of the State of Delaware
is no light task. Yet, if the State
should fail in good faith to these
people or should even unintention-
ally mar the record of open and
fair treatment to corporations, ir-
reparable damage to reputation and
to State income might result. But,
to those whose duty it may be to
treat this difficult problem, must fall
the added task of insuring to the
