Let us see, by concrete example,
what the capital gains tax is: A man
buys something's house. a vacant lot,
a tract of land, a hundred shares OF
stock. a quantity of wheat-anything
you wish. He pays, let us say. $1,000
tor it. He keeps it for year. He now
sells it for $4,000.
He has made q profit Of 1000. He
has made this profit very easily. He
has made. it without work. He has
got his profit merely by sharing in
the growth Of things generally.
Such a profit made in this way
seems a peculiarly proper thing to tax.
And so we have taxed it. This is what
We call the capital gains tax.
But now let us approach it from a
different angle, from the angle Of the
effect on business activity.
How to Get the Capital?
For this purpose consider that am

ness think see where I, can start

called venture capital" or risk capi-
tai" I cannot borrow my capital
from a savings bank-it would be a
crime for savings bank to lend me
money for a venture-they can only
lend where lending is absolutely safe
Nor can borrow it from an insurance
company-they cannot lend money on
ventures. I cannot borrow on mort
gage. for have nothing yet to mort
gage.
The only source from which I can
borrow the capital is some rich or

siderable money and is willing to
venture some of it on the gamble oi

education at the Ohio Northern Uni
versity, year at Harvard, the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg and George Wash
ington. In 1892 he drove mules for
the Geological Survey. In 1881 he was
appointed its director.
The American people get q lot
handed to them from their Govern
ment besides politics and taxes. Valu-
able information emerges from the
life work Of our public servants. The
Geological Survey has an interesting
history Of exploration and adventure.
-Four exploratory surveys, one start
ing before the Civil War, charted
fossils, rivers, land-au our Western
resources, then comparatively un-
known. These surveys, made by IA
nous explorers of their day, became
the basis for the congressional act of
1879 creating unified Geological
Survey.
Now IS geologists make field surveys
Of the United States and Alaska. DR..
Mendenhall knows the field. He has
padded the Alaskan rivers, explored
for years our great heritage. He
paints brief, vivid picture of science
at work, our use of the findings. The
geologic branch advises on dams, res
ervoirs, mineral resources-coal, oil,
phosphates, etc. Paleontology. the
study Of fossils, is stressed, which re-
minds DR.. Mendenhall Of a story. A
political wit in Congress once defined
paleontobgy as great political
party" The topographic branch of
the Geological Survey makes contour
maps of the earth's surface with
engineering exactness.
AS once all roads led to Rome, so
all bureaus of the Interior Department
lead to conservation. Wastage is now
anathema. Conservation of mineral
lands is one of the digit fingers on the
hand of the long Federal arm. Valu-
able coal lands passed to Western
homesteaders during expansion days.
Coal companies bought these lands
from hard-up homesteaders for song
And so grew the present Government
mineral leasing laws that protect and
conserve coal, oil and those valuable
phosphates, without which neither the
farmers nor the Army could function.

you are all right. I hear you're well
thought Of. I'd like to lend you the
money, but"
The "but" is the capital gains tax.
He explains to me how it works, why
it prevents him from lending me the
money. He says: I'm order to lend you
this money must sell one Of my
present investments. One Of my in
vestments is 1000 shares Of Kennecott

ernment will put heavy tax on. The
Government will say that this gain
Of mine Is income. It is not actually
income. 1t Is capital gain. But the
Government says 1t Is income, and
what the Government says goes. The
tax on this gain of $40 will be so
heavy, will take 80 much bf it away
from me, that just can't afford to sell
1t. am sorry. but I cannot lend
you the money. though think it would
be a fair risk and would like TO lend
it,"
Hence, the business would have
started, If could have got the capital,
is not started. The businesses which
countless other men would have started
are not started. The businesses which
other men already in business would
have expanded are not expanded.
Hence, progressive paralysis Of busi-
ness. And that Is what is now hap
pening in America. There are other
causes of 1t in addition to the capital
gains tax. Some Of the causes in 1929
were faults Of the capitalist system
itself. Most Of the causes now are
policies of the administration. The
capital gains tax is q large cause.
The Heart Of the System.
Incidentally. what 1 have described
is the heart Of the capitalist system in
operation. A typical example Of the
capitalist system as it works would be
the one have described. only with 4
different ending of course.
A typical example of the capitalist
system as it worked when it was
permitted to work freely would be
something like this: A young man
comes out OF school. He looks around
for job. He gets job. He ad-
vances in skill and responsibility. He
gets higher pay and he saves some
money He learns business
In time he sees an opportunity to
start q little business himself. or to
go into partnership in business. His
savings are not enough. In order to
get the capital, he goes to some one
who has capital. maybe somebody he
knows, maybe somebody to whom he
gets letter of introduction.
The man he asks for capital makes
inquiry about him and learns that the
young man has character, knows his
business, and is diligent at it. The
capitalist lends him the money. It Is
venture. but the capitalist is willing
to take the risk. The capitalist asks
for share Of the profits, a quite large
share. much more than an ordinary
interest rate.
The capitalist asks large return
because the capitalist knows. and
everybody knows. that not all these

ventures succeed In some cases the
capitalist is going to suffer total loss.
If one case out of three or four sue
ceeds, the capitalist makes enough on
that case to more than cover his
losses on the other cases. =
That Is how the capitalist system
works-when it is working normally.
It is now prevented from working
normally by the capital gains tax and
some other policies of the administra-
