should be helped by more money 60
ing into permanent improvements
which will give income from year to
year.
Business Reports Optimistic.
Earnings in 1926 promise to exceed
those for 1925. Numerous corpora
tions have already attained larger
earnings than were shown in the nrst
half of 1925. Present indications are
that we shall see greater earnings In
the present half of 1925 than were
witnessed in the first half OF the
year. These indications are taken zen
from the returns of more than 4oo
corporations, and the majority or
them show an increase over last
wears earnings. The stocks OF some
of these corporations are soaring 10
new heights, although few COM
panies are finding that they cannot
hold the pace and are not showing
the increased profits that should De
theirs. =
The United States Treasury is
showing a surplus, and indications
point to a $500, 100000 surplus at the
end of tn. present fiscal year, not
withstandif z the recent tax cut. "A
billion.dollar surplus Is even talkea
about In some clTcies. HAooiu0ii. .
Coolidge O. Secretary Mellon shoulo
have no worries as to the nnanclai
condition of the Treasury at the close
of this fiscal year or next. Certainly
a further cut in taxes is possible
Whenever they feel the time has come
to make such cut.
Former Figures Upheld.
It may be we'll to remember that
ontfmistic forecasts were made about
three months ago as to the Treasury
surplus. 1t was estimated for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1925, that
the surplus would run between $3.50
600 900 to $3.50. .000.O judging from
the numerous criticisms, I should say
that most people felt at that time this
figure to be too optimistic. A mem
Der of the finance committee even
took the time to tell the Senate that

these figures were not justif1able.
Moreover, these officials were very
honest in their opinions during those
days.
However,, facts have a way of MAX
ing themselves realized. and when the
fiscal year 1926 ended on June 80
there was a Treasury surplus Off
figure was 1000, 900 higher than the
previous estimates. Heavy tax re-
fund payments and the shifting of
postal payments from 1927 to 1926
(made mainly because of this sur
plus), kept the Treasury surplus from
going as high as $400, 900 for the
fiscal year.
Larger Income Tax Receipts.
With the above situation in mind
1t would seem that we are now justi'
fed in forecasting that this years
surplus will be not less than $500. .000,.
600 and that there is some chance of
it going to $1,000, ,0O0,00 This last
figure would justify the greatest tax
reduction since the war. Some feel
that the income tax on 1925 profits fol
corporations will be as high as $1,o00,-
OO0, 900, while the more optimistic feel
that $1,000, 100000 is quite possible.
This figure is almost as large as the
total paid by both individuals and COZ
porations in 1925.
Many Of our large corporations
witnessed bigger earnings in the first
half of 1926 than were seen in the
same period of 1925. Following are
few of the companies and their in
creased earnings: General Motors
gained IS per cent, Pierce Arrow, 40

try or Is merely to go one better than
the Republican party is debatable.
Many of my Washington friends say
that the Democrats see tax reduction
as popular throughout the Nation and
nence merely want to get on the band
wagon. Others feel that the Demo
Gratis will recommend such sweeping
tariff reductions that the Repub-
llcans cannot accept them without
showing a deficit. Thus the Repub-
licans would be between the devil
and the deep blue sea. If they re-
fuse to make the reductions the
Democrats can go before the country
In 1928 and represent the Republicans
as opposed to tax reduction, while If
the Republicans do accept the Demo
Gratis tax reduction program the
Treasury will show a deficit and the
Democrats can point to the Repub-
licans as carrying on an extravagant
and inefficient administration. OF
course, any such policy would be
cheap politics on the part of the
Democrats, but 1t Is possible.
1927 VS.. 1928.
One thing is certain, namely, that
the Republicans will use all their
influence to put off any tax reduction
until 1928. The Democrats may try
to get action in 1927: but any such
early action will be very difficult to
secure: 1928 will be the year for a
reduction in Federal income and
other taxes. There will be nothing
doing for 1927 and 1t is possible that
the legislation Of 1928 may not ap-
ply to the 1923 income. The tax re-
duction legislation. however Is sure
to come in 1928 and both parties in

the presidential election of that year
will claim credit therefor.
This probable action will be one
of the many stimulants which the
Republican party has in mind for
1928 in order to help them In the
presidential election of that year.
Moreover, the Republican party will
need stimulants unless the farming
section feels very much better by
that time. If the election took place
today the Republicans would GER
tainly lose several of the agricul-
tural States, thus causing the election
to hinge on New York State, which
would be the great fighting ground
of the election. Hence. as above
stated, the Republican party wants
good business and a good stock
market in 1928.
Stocks VS.. Bonds.
"The Republican administration is
not interested in the bond market.
Tax reduction, however, should tend
to help the market for taxable
bonds. The market for corporation
bonds should be helped by extending
their sale to a wider circle of in
vestors. On the other hand, any
such action would tend to be de-
pressing to municipal bonds. All re-
ductions in taxation for corpora
ton bonds tends to widen the market
therefor Such reduction in taxa
tion, however, tends to narrow the
market for municipal bonds. If the
output of municipal bonds continues
at the present rapid pace and the sug
gested reduction in Federal income
taxes takes place. it would not be sur
prising to see lower prices for mu
nicipal bonds in 1928 and possibly
1927.
A reduction in taxation should be
helpful to stocks of all kinds. The
stock market is mainly dependent
upon three things-sentiment, money
and business. All of these should be
helped by a reduction in taxation.
Men naturally feel better when taxes
are reduced, money should be easier
as taxes are lowered, while business
