4Ormer law Teacher at Columbia University.
Mr.. Oliphant has just been testifying before
the House Ways and Means Committee and
he naturally defended his scheme vigorously.
incidentally, his testimony makes it quite
clear that it is not designed to balance the
budget, but is primarily political move and
social reform" measure
Mr.. Olphant is reported to have said that
the question is not so much that of balancing
the Federal budget this year, or next year, as
it is to do something about carrying out the
Presidents promises in the budget message
The Washington times., 1936-04-08

Surely this plea has little weight stronger argument
would be that the same President promised the country
economical and unbureaucratc Government and definitely
balanced budget The only way keep those promises how
ever would be to down Government spending and this
would not be considered politically expedien just before
election day.
The plain fact is that the proposed corporation
not designed to bring No knows
know just what will produce its defenders
do not claim any material change in this respect
Their real point is that it is tax on what they call
'profits" They argue ID that who get profits
lodging taxation under present arrangements N that profits
are in better position taxes than other kinds of in
come.
As to the first point they have justice. I doubt
however, that half much taxes lodged by holding
undsrbued earnings corporations lodged by buy
issue
any if evasion be their aim why seek
way to penaze the practice directly and specifically? That
ought to be easy for those who think they evade the
Constitution and decisions by imposing "windfal
taxes.
As matter of fact Mr. Olphant appeared to get most
eloquent in arguing that profits increased while
have remained low stationary and interest has de-
cned It is here that the argument for the scheme
is fundamentally weakest.
First the argument is mistaken in that compares total
profits with wage RATES and interest RATES Total
paid and total interest paid have increased much
total profits have.
Second it overooks the fact that dividends received by in
dvdua stockholders large extent interest profits
This has be increasingly true and the scheme add
to the burden of taxes all stockholders of the many
In fact charge that the scheme is attempt prevent
those Of who have from hedging against the
initiation which the New Dealers forcing the country
Third the scheme is blow at the profits system. Profits
the reward for business enterprise and skill in meeting
business risks Under the system Of individual enterprise
business they what leads to seek products i'm
proved methods and expanded operations There is
way employment and total wage payments other
than to employers make profits under fair
petition.
What they doing is to seek of continuing the
wasteu Government bureaucracy and voebuyng dstrbu
ton of public money
Then they say to the employer you try for profits
but if you make much, will take it away from you
know that they also say that the burden profits will
not be much increased But if that be true where is there
to be any increased from the taxa And why the
talk about the relative growth Of profits and wages
The very fact that it is doubtful that the scheme will
public revenue and that profits uncertain and
highly variable Of the hypocrisy of the
proposal 1t that what they to is to drive the
entering wedge Of their ocastc theories deeper into the
system Of Individual ENTERPRISE =.

~ PRINGFIELD N. ]. June 5.-As
the tireless old master, Wal
ter Hagen, surveyed the par
~ busting wreckage of the open
ing of the fortieth national open golf
championship, he lapsed into reverie
today, recalling his title defense over
these same Baltusrol links 81 years
ago.
AS might have been expected, the
43-year-old wonder was swallowed up
in the greatest first-round scoring
spree in the history of the champion
ship, with Paul Runyan, Ray Man.
grum and big Clarence Clark dead
locked with three-under- par 69s for
the lead, and no fewer than IL other
shotmakers one or two strokes below
par 70.
But when the twilight settled on the
record breaking bombardment ie still
couldn't screen the reflections Of the
old Haig. AS matters stand, Hagen,
with a creditable IA, is five shots be-
hind the pace-making trio. However,
Hagen said it was a great round for
him, greater than his opening bid in
defense of the title he won in 1914.
Some Of the holes played in this
championship were part of the old
course.
The bronzed oldster, who first won
the open crown when the birdie trio
of today were cooling like brides,
pointed with pride to the fact that he
reached Is greens in regulation figures
yesterday.

- SPRINGFIELD, N. j., June 5.
The hottest scoring spree in
- any national open golf cham
pionship in recent years finds Baltus-
rolls much-vaunted layout converted
today into little more than ladies'
s., golf course, where, if the lads con-
: tinue their par-busting bent the VIM
ner is going to crack the champion
ship record like your last years straw
kelly when you stepped on it this past
September.
Only IA guys cracked BaltusrolS
much-too-high par of 70 yesterday, on
a day when ordinary tee shots scam
pered along hard fairways for 300
yards and more and where slow green's,
quite different from the. usual skating
rinks of the championship, gave the
boys a chance to whack at the hole
from any and all distances.
& You could search the championship
records for years back and never would
you find so many gents cracking par
over the first round of the loust for
the national open crown.
Today's second round is due to be
much the same, and it wouldn't be
surprising to see some fellow romp
through the first two rounds with a
36-hole total of 1877 or better. Baltus-
.a,rol, even with its watered fairways
: and its well.trapped greens, doesn't
= play more than $500 yards in length,
even though the score card says it is
1866 long.
= The U. S. G. A. will have to look
u around for tougher courses than this
or the boys will convert the national
open into another tank-town tourna-
ment.

Always the comedian. Witty cracked

one: it must be the national open. "
But the rest of the boys didn't feel
jittery. They literally took this course
apart and by Saturday afternoon, if
they keep on doing what they have
the works of Baltusrol will be scattered
all over Central Jersey.
At the top of the parade stood
iaunty Paul Runyan, the meager-
framed little fellow who has been de-
MED a major title too long; blond,
handsome Clarence Clark and spare

call a "looper." Each scored a 50,
