The Senate Profit Sharing Com
mittee heard today vigorous de-
tense of business from q witness
who said 1t had been placed under
q cloud" by false propaganda.
F. j. Moss, president of the Amer
ican Sash g. Door Co.. Kansas City,
Mo-, told the committee that during
the period from 1881 to 1896 corpora
tions paid out $18, ,000, 900 900 in taxes
while their net profits totaled only
1000, ,000,.
1.-THE net result of this" the wit
ness charged, was the conflscation
of about $1,000 900, 900 in capital.
And all of this time business was
being lambasted from all sides
Mr.. Moss said much of the false
propaganda" against business had
been spread in appeals to voters.
And I am not criticizing any one
political party" he added. "As far
as I am concerned, one is as guilty
as the other"
Not quite" interjected Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan with a smile.
Vandenberg Defends Business.
II agree" said Chairman Herring
Democrat, of Iowa mot quite"
Senator Vandenberg interrupted
again to say that Senator Tydings
Democrat, of Maryland, had told
the Senate last session that business
had paid out 5000, 900 900 more
than it took in during eight years
after 1929.

and horse thief"
Mr.. Moss said he believed it was

just as we have in churches"
And in Congress-" Senator Van
denberg broke in.
Advances Profit Sharing Plan.
Mr.. Moss advanced a plan Of
profit sharing which he said he be.
lieved, II universally adopted, would
provide for equitable distribution OF
profits, increased production. lessen
losses attributed to labor disturb
ances, cut production costs. increase
purchasing power and boost employ
ment.
AS outlined his plan would call
for the setting aside of per cent
of the net profits of any corpora
ton as a fixed return for the risks
capital takes in operating that cor
poration. The remainder of profits
would be divided between capital
and labor in relation each bears tc
the total cost of the business.
Thus. If capital investment were
$l50,000 and $4,000 in wages were
paid yearly, capital would receive
three-fourths of the profit above 1
per cent and labor one-fourth.
Mr.. Moss said his companys prof.
it-sharing plan had been in effect
since 1919 but added that there hac
been no profits to share for the
last nine years because of the build.
ing industry slump. Despite this. h.
said, company workmen have beer
satisfied, and there are no labo,
troubles.
He indorsed the principle of in.
centive taxation to encourage profit.

COLORED SCHOOL NOTES

There are 21 boys enrolled in the
two classes OF vocational agriculture
at the Milford Colored School this
year. There were "a enrolled last
year but the boys from the Slaugh-
ter Neck School we're included at
that time. The enrolment for the
classes has been steadily increasing
since classes began but there are
other prospective students who are
still working as laborers and letting
other obstacles keep them out Of
school.
To the parents whose children are
out Of school because of their jobs,
do not let your child be blinded by
the sight OF few immediate dollars.
He is losing something that cannot
be valued in dollars and cents. The
child cannot see far enough into the
future to visualize this great loss.
Almost every day a parent is heard
to say, Our children have many OPP
portunities and advantages in school
today that we did not have Yet,
some Of these same parents do not
urge and aid their children so they
can take advantage Of the opportun-
tiles offered In school today. What
good are the opportunities IL your
child does not get the benefit Of
them? Remember that time lost from
school can never be gained again.
and the days serve as steps toward
success. To miss step may mean a
child's failure In life" i
