Stop Another Depression

There is a grave danger, pointed
out by many responsible economists
that the country may sink into an
other deprsssion-unless corrective
steps are quickly taken. The same
experts are generally agreed that
two of the outstanding causes OF ;he
recent drop in business production
and the collapse in security values
are the Capital Gains Tax and the
Undistributed Profits Tax.
The Capital Gains Tax, by heav-
lily penalizing persons who sell Sc
curities at profit, dams up the nor
may flow of private capital into pro-
ductive industry. A man who makes
such an investment must take all
the risks of loss-but if he makes a
profit instead, the tax deprives him
of large part of it. Under his
condition, who can blame capital
for staying in "hiding?"
The Undistributed Profits Tax
prevents corporations from using
funds to build up necessary reserves
against bad times, for expanding in
ventories, for rehabilitating plant
anu cQulplueHt, eIC- 10 QuOIe Ma i
tional Industrial Conference Board /
Survey, "The tax penalties thrift /
and introduces tendencies contrary /
to conservative financial practice.
The tax involves the application of
a new and unsubstantiated theory of
taxation. 1t is uneconomic because
of its effects on corporate policies
and practises and not because of
the burdens imposed. The tax is de-
ficient as regulatory device.
The law assumes degree of uni
formity among corporations that
does not exist, and the tax is in
equitable primarily because of this
assumed uniformity"
Two bills have been introduced in
Congress by Representative Eman-
uel Celler, Democrat of New York,
TO correct these taxes. In support
of these bills is the practically unit
ed sentiment of economists, finan- ,
cial journalists, industrial leaders,
and many men high in the govern j
ment service. There is no qualified {
opposition worthy of the name. (,
Prompt passage of these two bills
should be the first move toward
stopping another depression and re- {
giving the recovery movement. "
