Ghostly Pharaoh
Detroit News)


 Another ghostly Pharaoh has been making trouble because inqusitive archeoogists disturbed his bones. Sir Alexander Seton of Edinburgh, Scot land and his household breathing more freely because bit of bone is it's way back to the land Of the pyramids.
 Lady Seton travelling in Egypt found a little glass inclosing genuine bit of bone from tomb in Gizeh" She took the curio back to Scot land and the ghost trailed her
 Since then there have been such gongs-on spectral figure goes about nights soaring visitors at Sir Alexanders country seat Servants refuse to stay on the premises Sudden illnesses of members of the family and all sorts of bad luck are charged up to the mischevous spook
 It is the best Egyptian relic story to come out of the British Isles since the opening of the tomb of Tut -Ankh-A in 1923. Tuts ghost got blamed for causing the death of several persons of note who were just onookers when the tomb violated. Of course of the deaths were delayed a dozen years and various diseases, including hardening of the arteries, contributing causes.
 But anyway, Sir Alexander Seton is taking no chances and the souvenir of his wifes Egyptian trip is on it's way to resting place in the land of the PharaohS.-Detroit News.

Taxing Corporations
tNew York Times)

In the search for more revenues to meet higher expenditures, both the British and the American Governments have placed heavier burdens on their corporations. and have subjected them not merely to one but to several different The political obstacles to higher corporation taxes much less than those to higher personal income taxes. For thing, the burden of the latter is directly felt by thousands of individuals while the burden of the former is indirect and it's incidence uncertain Yet excessive corporation taxes have serious economic results than excessive personal income taxes through their adverse effect production.
 The new corporation tax imposed here last June ranging from to 27 per cent undistributed profits has been frequently compared with the British cor poration tax which it is contended, in effect only undistrbuted profits But the differences be- tween the two taxes important than the simiarities. Our own undistrbuted profits tax is levied n addition to tax of Is per cent all net income Our own tax deliberately penaizes undis- tributed profits such Its purpose and it's effect are to force the payment of maximum corporation dividends, even at the cost of prudent management
 The British law does not take the form of a tax on undistributed profits as such; it is tax the whole earnings Of the corporation, while dividends paid are allowed as a credit against these The corpora ton tax in Great Britain is treated part of the general income tax plan It kept at the basic in- come tax rate Thus while British corporation under the new rate will be taxed 25 per the part of it's income that it carries to surplus the great majority of its stockholders will probably stand to be taxed at least 25 per on the amount paid out in dividends. Consequently there is excessive pressure on the British corporations to pay dvi dends. Last year in fact about third of their earnings appears to have been retained for surplus and reinvestment in plant.
 There is interesting resemblance between our present excess profits tax on corporations and the additional tax on corporation profts-the ma tional defense contribution the British Chan cellor of the Exchequer has just proposed Our own scheme presents the corporation with neat dilemma. It allows the corporation to fix its capital for tax purposes, but it then taxes both the amount of capital stock and the excess of earnings 10 per cent that capital Thus if the corporation fixes small capitalization, it the risk of paying high earnings if it fixes large capitalization to escape this 1t must pay the larger capitali- zation
 The new British tax, similarly allows a corpora ton the choice of being taxed the excess of its

earnings above that of the three 1933 1884 and 1885 any excess over per cent on its invested capital Thus if a corporation is earning high re- turn capital but it's future earnings do not greatly exceed those of the three years named, it will doubt less choose the profits standard if its earn ings now grow rapidly but still below or not much above per cent capital, it will choose the per- centage of capital standard.
 This plan is ingenious. But the tax rates pro- profits calculated n addition to the ordinary cor poration tax-that they may prove serious curb to expanding production in many lines It is at least clear that the national defense contribution will affect far more than the profits of the armament makers

CONVENTIONS FOR ALASKA

Announcement that Rotarians attending the Spo- kane district conference have gone record in favor Of Alaska for the 1888 conference opens up vast field of possibilities which heretofore have not been topped. It reveals that the Territory compete with cities in the States for conventions despite it's lack of large hotel accommodations, and, if it is successful with two of such ventures, it will pave the way for bringing better accommodations to the travelling public
 Alaska has appeal to those in the States and pro- motion of that lure of the north can bring to the Territory not only convention but many of them thus enlarging the tourist trade which we now enjoy
 It is estimated that the Rotary conference in l93S will bring at least 1000 persons Alaska, pro- vding of course. that the club Presidents meeting in July endorses the popular action of yesterday in Spokane It is actually up to the Presidents session to set the convention meeting place although it is customary to follow the dictates of the district ference Tentative plans call for at least three day stay in Alaska aside from the trip from and to Seattle From conservative standpoint each visitor will spend at least dollars per day which means S10000 per day of new money spent in Alaska, and threec day period it amounts to $30O00 It is probable that much more than that will be spent such conven- ton jaunt And every city where the travellers stop will profit
 Getting the Rotary conference is a start in the right direction. Followed up. many other such meet Hes cdn De alueo TOT the Ierfltofy AlaSka can De- come real convention center if the same enthusiasm is shown that revealed in going after the Rotary meeting

 Here again is the kind of promotion which will bring dollars and cents into the Territory Instead oi the comparatively few sportsmen which north every season now, thousands could be brought north through proper presentation of the Alaska picture.
