MIAMI, June 25.-The fedora
capital stock tax law and the
problems arising under it furnish
ed one of the principal subject:
of discussion at the recent con.
vention Of the Florida Institute OF
Accountants held in Miami.
1t was pointed out that on July
first corporations will again be
faced with the problem of de-
termining a new valuation OF
their capital stock for federal
capital stock tax purposes.
The point about this tax which
is usually not understood by cor
porate officials is that the value
declared has no relation whatever
to the actual value of the capital

Congress apparently enacted
this law for revenue producing
purposes and then tackled oa The
excess-prOfits tax as a penalty
provision guaranteeing declara-
ton of a high enough value on
capital stock.
The least possible fax will be
paid under the present law, # a
value of exactly ten times the
earnings subject to excess-profits
taxes is declared as the value of
the capital stock.
The rate of capital stock tax is
$1.00 per thousand of declared
value. Excess-profits taxes are
fixed as follows:
sc of income between 100
and $50 of declared value.
1870 of income over 1870 of
declared value.
1t is more economical to err in
too large a value rather
than too little.

WON GUARDIANSHIP BY
PUTTING LANDON ACROSS
(By Associated Press)


TOPEKA, Kans., June 25.-
Initiative, political resourceful-
ness and the audacious nature
symbolized by his red hair are ac-
counted the factors behind TIE
rise of John D. Nj. Hamilton,
new chairman of the Republican
national committee.
That sandy thatch, his friends
say, fits perfectly the personality
of the Scotch-Iris. man who got
into politics by defying party
bosses, who jumped on the New

Roosevelt administration and who

Those who came to know him
during LandoH's pre-convention
campaign ard who saw him in ac-
ton at Cleveland were not sur
rrised to learn that his favorite
diversion is watching prize fights.
Army To Politics
Born in Fort Madison, Ia, he
went to Kansas as a child when
his father, a railroad executive,
was transferred to Topeka. He
was graduated from Phillips And
over academy and in law at
Northwestern university.
Just ont of the army, Han1il-i

decided to run for probate judge
of his home county. Republican
leaders refused to support him.

His Rise Rapid

sentatives at 35, unsuccessful
candidate for governor at SO,
Republican state chairman at 80,
national committeeman from Kan
sas at 40, general counsel for the
G. o. p. national committee at
AZ.
Their political friendship is less
than four years old. As late as
1882 Hamilton, member of the
conservative faction of Kansas
Republicans. opposed the nomin-
alton of Landon, liberal, for
governor.
Quarrel Patched Up
The quarrel ended shortly aft

for chairman, however, but was
defeated by Henry P. Fletcher.
The committee named Hamilton
its general counsel at the same
meeting, and in May, 1885, he
went to Washington as assistant
to the chairman. He resigned in
March this year to organize Lam
don's campaign.
From Grass Roots
Youthful in appearance-he
was Al on March 2-and vigorous
