Mr.. Magill said both the subcom.
mittee and the Treasury felt the tai
rate on small income corporations
might properly be set at . lesser fis-
ure than that applicable to corpora
tions with large earnings. unless 1t
be desired to make impractical or i'm
possible the use Of the corporation by
persons with incomes of less than
$45.000."
Backing up the subcommittees rec
concentration for an extra tax on cor
porations controlled by q small group
OF individuals whose incomes exceed
$4,000. the Undersecretary said the
total effective rate of tax applicable to
such persons exceeds 20 per cent,
which is the maximum corporate tax
rate now proposed.
Declaring the capital stock and ex-
cess profts taxes had little to recon-
mend them other than the assurance
Of $lso.o00,0o0 of revenue, the Under
secretary said the subcommittee had
considered seriously their repeal, but
had concluded an increase in the nor
NAL corporation tax sufficient to make
up the revenue loss was undesirable.
Among the major subjects on which
the Treasury may make later recon-
nendations to Congress, Mr.. Magill
said. are methods for integration Of
Federal and State taxing systems and
elimination Of overlapping OF some
forms Of taxes.

Speaking at 4 dinner In the Wash
ington Hotel arranged by the Com
mittee for the Nation. Sir Charles told
how England was forced Of the gold
standard and at length devised
commodity standard" to combat the
depression at home and abroad.
Describes Monetary Policies.
The speaker declared England will
never return to the gold standard be-
cause 1T should be remembered that
in 1891 the gold standard dragged
Britain into a well as deep as that
into which 1t dragged the United
States in 1888 You seem tn have no
objection To repeating the experience.
We have"
Sir Charles described the revolu-
tionary monetary policies developed at
Ottawa in 1882. At that time. he said.
policy was laid down which meant
the substitution of the conception Of
controlled abundance Of money for
the outworn and obsolete conception
Of scarcity Of money.
Money was to be provided in SUM-
cient abundance to serve the needs Of
commerce, industry and agriculture,
instead Of commerce. industry and
agriculture having to adapt themselves
to an arbitrarily determined quantity
Of money"
Normal Activity Planned.
The currency policy Of the British
Empire, Sir Charles said, was plan
ned to restore normal activltv Of in
dustry and employment insure re-
munerative prices for the producers
OF basic commodities. and establish
equity between debtor and ,reditor.
Sir Charles said that u nations
accepted the new British commodity
standard and the "a nations which
remained outside the agreement have
passed through many vlcissitUdes."
The speaker expressed the opinion
that Utopia" lies ahead for the ma
tons which revise their money poll
cies along lines already laid down by
Britain.

Earl Harding, member Of the Di-
recting Committee. Committee for the
Nation, told the dinner meeting: I'VE
face the same problem and must come
to the same conclusions reached in
1882 by the British Empire Confer
ence: That recovery depends on restor-
ing profitable prices for farmers and
other producers of the basic raw ma
terials, - the basic-producer half Of
the population can buy the goods and
services of the other half"
Mr.. Harding declared the detectives
OF the nations on the sterling or COM
