CHICAGO, June 13.-The Amer

today its opposition to senatorial
confirmation of Archibald MacLeish.

In an open letter from headquar-
tiers in Chicago. addressed to the
President. Vice President and mem
bers of the Senate. Milton j. Fergn-
son, president of the association and
head of the Brooklyn IN. " Public
Library. said of Mr. MacLeish:
His ability and distinction as a
man of letters are unquestioned
I'VE are not concerned with his SOL
itic:l But librarianship is not q
literary pursuit Writing is not of
itself suitable preparati ton for it,.
Mr. Ferguson. who was en- route to
the associations conference at San
Francisco. said further in his letter
that 100 years ago nearly every
important library post was filled by
somebody's political or personal
choice. Now nearly all are filled bv
men and women who have prepared
themselves for that vocation.
The appointment of a non pro-
fessional as head of the Library of
Congress would endanger the merit
system of appointment to all library
positions, carefully built up during
three generations.
Mr.. MacLeish could not qualify for
the librarianship of any college or
public library in America which at
tempts to maintain professional
standards-as most do. He most
certainly is not qualified to be the
librarian Of the largest and most
important library in the world"

THE slow undermining of the

What has Congress done? Worse

Not one constructive measure to
bring back employment of these

done no more than merely to defend

Paper Mill Executives
Hear Opening Talk
Against High Taxes
Head of Association
Urges Fight on
Monetary Oppression

The drift in the United States to
ever-lncreasing taxes was cited to-
day by F. lie Roy zellers. president
of the American Pulp and Paper
Mill Superintendents' Association.
Inc. which today opened It's annual
three-day convention at the Ward
man Park Hotel.
Mr.. Zellers delivered the annual
president S message at the opening
session held in the hotel theater
More than 1000 delegates, represent
ing every phase Of the paper in
dustry, are attending the conference
the program for which includes q
boat trip. q golf tournament and a
skeet shoot, as well as business meet
ings.

Representatives. Corporation Counsel
Elwood Seal welcomed the delegates
and their families to Washington
In responding to the welcome, H. H
Harrison. first vice president of the
organization, pointed out that the
Government is the industry's best
customer.
Mr.. Zellers, who represents the
French Paper Co. of Niles, Mich,
said, In 1888 municipal, State and
Federal taxes levied toll of %
thousand million dollars in taxes
upon industry. business and labor
Think of it-$22 600. 900 900 in taxes,
almost one-third of the total ma
tional income for 1898.
Urged to Fight Trend.
Il urge you to keep abreast of the
times he said. Give serious
thought to this drift in North Amer
lea and do your share in pointing
out the fallacy Of this monetary and
human oppression, be it industrial,
national or international. We have
real job facing is in this respect. ,"

these substitutes for the present
$4,000 deduction as excess OF capi-
tai losses over capital gains:
On long-term capital losses
those on assets held more than l8
months-corporations could deduct
the full loss from their income for
the same year.
On short-term capital losses
those on assets held less than l8
months-corporatio could offset
such losses against short-term capi-
tai gains for the current year or,
If there was an excess of losses,
apply them to short-term capital
gains during the following year.
Renewal of the expiring excise,
or nuisance taxes on such things
as cigarettes, liquor. beer, cosmetics
and amusement were approved
tentatively yesterday
Lesser Items.
Among lesser items. the sub
committee proposed treating banks
insurance companies, China Trade
Act corporations and corporations
in United States possessions the
same as other corporations. Present
law taxes them l6la per cent on
net income
Mutual investment companies
which are given the same special
treatment under present law as
banks and insurance companies
would be taxed 18 per cent.
The taxes governing all other COR
porations would be applied to COR
porations in bankruptcy or receiv-
ership, joint stock land banks and
rental housing corporations. They
now are allowed special deductions
to relieve them from the undistrib-
uted profits tax.
In voting its program the SUBJ
committee acted on four main sug-
gestions made by Secretary Morgen-
thau when he appeared recently be-
fore the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Suggested Repeal.
Secretary Morgenthau proposed at
that time that the undistributeC
profits tax, which he said has be-
come an "irritant" to business, might
be repealed; that a loss carry over
might be allowed: that change
might be made in the law govern
ing capital losses and gains, and
that the capital stock tax and re-
lated excess profits levy might be
liberalized.
AS to the undistributed profits
the committee agreed merely not to
continue it beyond the date set in
the present law for its death-De-
cember 81, 1899. Therefore, the new
ID per cent rate would become ef
fective on next January l.
Enacted by administration sugges-
ton in 1896 as method of forcing

corporations to distribute profits to
stockholders and thus make the
money subject to individual income
taxes, the undistributed profits levy
has been the subject Of long and
loud argument. Under tremendous
pressure from business, Congress
modified it last year so as to make
it apply only to corporations with
more than S25 900 net income.
The rate of such corporations now
is 1872 per cent if they pay out
all profits in the form of dividends
and 10 per cent if no profits become
dividends. Intermediate rates apply
to corporations which pay out a
portion of their profits as dividends
based on the extent to which the
profits are disbursed.
