init us an evasion that leads us
to defraud the Government of
its DUE"
Urges Flat Rate
Another representative of a
great firm suggested that while it
might be impractical to eliminate
this capital gain and loss alto
gether, it would be better to put
on flat rate of. say. 10 per cent
rather than continue with the
present increasing scale.
AS for the tax on corporate sur
pluSes, they all believed this to be
Shortsighted. One banker Sug-
gested that this would be com
mensurate to capital tax and
would make it impossible for the
big companies of the United
States to compete with equivalent
companies in foreign countries not
bound by such a restriction.
Another man said he believed
that the stockholders of these big
companies were the best judges
of how much surplus should be
held in reserve against a rainy
day and how much declared out
in dividends. He felt that bu-
reaucrat in Washington would be
far less able to decide this.
Several of the bankers re-
marked that while England was
held up as a highly taxed but
successful nation her taxation is
not so heavy as ours and far
more evenly divided. It was
shown that if man in New York
city should make a million dol
lars and die the next day, his
heirs would receive, after all the
taxes had been collected, $780,
900. In England, they also stated
the tax laws are intelligent be-
cause they have always adhered
to the same principle while in
this country they change with
the slightest political breeze.
The cry of these bankers is, of
course, for confidence. Give in
dustry chance to make a
profit, they say; open up the
securities market, do not try and
balance the budget by more and
excessive taxation, and things
will pick up.

country: that the banks are hold
ing nine billion of the total 81
billion in their portfolios and that
the English banks so lauded by
the President are not carrying 10
or Is per cent of this amount.
Some Of the most prominent
bankers have taken a public beat
ing on account of the conviction
that they were evading Federal in
come taxes. It is not surprising
that they are inclined to believe
that there is an undercurrent of
thought Seeping through the Ad-
miniStration which is lucidly anti
successful. They put this down to
the fact that many of the men
close to the Administration by in
clination diStruSt anyone who has
the ability to amaSS a fortune, no
matter how justly it has been &C.
quired.
Offer Revenue Plans
It was a natural step for these
bankers, while discussing this
drive for the collection of back
income taxes, to express their
views as to what kind of taxation
would afford the Government the
most revenue. 1t was generally
agreed that the soundest method.
would be a general broadening OF
the income tax base.
They argued that with such q
broad base, the Government could
collec t infinitely more money.
Also, that if every man were
taxed, it would act as a check
on congressional appropriations.
However, they doubt if Congress
will relinquish this soak the
rich" club, one of its mightiest
weapons.
About IS per cent of them
claimed that both the rumored
tax on the corporate SURPRISES of
big companies Excluding. posi-.
bly, holding companies) and the
capital gain and loss tax should
be eliminated. In the case Of the
latter, one man said:
"Tax our incomes as much as
you want but allow us to build
up those incomes and don't per.
