nocuous.
Delegates from Holland, one
of the leading fighters of the
gold bloc, took a final crack at
the resolution by obtaining elimi-
nation of a paragraph allowing
central banks to use 20 per cent
silver as currency coverage.
The resolution as it stood on
final approval merely favored
the principle of a rise in the
price of silver, leaving the
methods by which this is to be
obtained an unsettled matter.
The resolution as first pro-
posed by Senator Key Pittman
of Nevada, embodied extensive
plans for the rehabilitation of
silver and its use as currency
along with gold at a 20-8O ratio.

RIGHT To TAX
SURPRISES
Case on File in Supreme Court
One of Most Important
In Last Ten Years
BY International News Service


The most important tax case to
reach the Supreme Court in ten
years-involving the constitutional
right of the Government to tax
huge corporation surpluses-waS
on file today.
The question is declared by
tax experts to exceed in i'm
portance the tax revelations Of
the Senate investigation Of j. P.
Morgan and Company and other
bankers both to the Government
and to industry.
U. S. Welcomes Test
Because of it's vital concern in
the courts decision, the Justice
Department has decided not to
oppose the petition of United
Business Corporation, of Seattle,
for review Of the case.
The Seattle concern in it's ap-
peal attacks constitutionality Of
section 220 of the revenue laws
of 1921 under which the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue was
given authority to assess a Is per
cent tax penalty against any
corporation piling up surpluseS
to save stockholders from paying
income surtaxes.
The penalty now is so per cent,
having been raised after charges
were made in Congress that the
Treasury had failed to prevent
huge income tax evasions.
Decision Is Important
Agreeing to the petition for
review, the statement of Solicitor.
General j. Crawford Biggs said:
''There is no conflict of de-
cisiOns, as this is the first case
constituting the section to reach
the courts. While we believe the
case has been correctly decided
below, the questions presented
are Of such vital importance in
the administration of the rev.
enue acts that we believe they
should be passed upon by this
court.
The section, as its language
shows, was designed to prevent
the evasion Of surtaxeS on
stockholders of corporations
through permitting corpora
tiOns' profits to accumulate i'm
stead Of being distributed. There
are similar provisions in all Of
the revenue acts since 1913. If
it is found to be invalid, there
will be open ways of easily
avoiding Surtaxes."
