Net rs Millions

After taxes. the 10 companies
under study earned S26 .6l9, 900 In
1870 Taking an optimistic view,
Il will be necessary for them to
add about 5 per cent TO their sales
volume in the current year, In
order TO maintain earnings after
taxes at the same level. This as
sumes that the operating profit
margin will he 10 per cent. and
that federal tax liability will not
exceed 80 per cent.
There IL considerable variation
in the tenor OF first quarter re-
ports. but on the whole. they are
fairly encouraging. Comparisons
between companies are practically
impossible, however. because Of
diversified tax policies. For the
first quarter OF 1910. all earnings
were originally calculated with in
come taxes AT Is per cent. OBJ
Viously. II would be utterly mis-
leading 10 place these alongside
corresponding 194l results IN
which the proposed 30 per cent
rate wa semployed Especially IS
this true since taxes were actually
paid on the 1910 quarter at the
rate OF "a per cent.
Some firms adjusted their year
ago reports for purposes OF COM
|pariSon; others give no light as 10
what tax base was employed in the
1871 statement: while still others
disregar d taxes altogether.
Many used the "a per cent deduc-
ton OF 1e4l earnings. even though
" ia regarded az foregone con-
clusion in Washington that the
rate for this year will he Al least
30 per cent.

Taxes Absorb
Drug Makers
Profit Progress

NEW YORK, May 24.-At this
point. the prospects for sales vol
ume of the drugs and cosmetics in
dustry are fairly bright. but, on
account of the heavy penalties i'm
posed by federal corporation tax
alton, the earnings outlook Is
uninspiring according to Fitch In
yestors Service. In the initial
1941 quarter, sales Of drugs by
wholesalers advanced 8 per cent.
Through May 3, the Drug Topics
estimate of retail volume was SIS
per cent ahead Of 1910. In general,
IL is believed that the manufacture
ing end OF the business has ex-
perienced greater expansion than
these two divisions. About one
third Of the drug makers hold gov
eminent contracts, which. OF
course. comprise business unavail-
able TO distributors and retailers.

80 Per Cent Tax

However, the prospect OF a 80
per cent federal income tax upon
1941 earnings, in addition to the
excess profits levy, promises to off,
set completely whatever increment
TO operating income the majority
of the companies is able to garner.
In order to examine further the
effects Of rising taxation, the re-
suits by 10 drug and cosmetic
manufacturers. representative OF
the trade. have been compiled in
the following table:

Initially. il should be- observed
that the increase in sales volume.
\ while not comparable 10 that Of
)other industrial fields, is relatively
good in the history Of the drug
trade. Secondly. operating effi-
cheney was greatly improved dur
ing the year, so that the margin OF
profit was raised 10 81 per cent
from 81 per cent in 1889 How
over, federal income and excess
profits taxes collected from these
companies amounted 10 282 per
cent OF net in 1910. as compared
with 1876 per cent in 1889. Con-
sequently, OF the $5.5l2, 900 added
10 1910 earnings, 81, 266 900 went
10 the federal tax collector.

ELDORADO, Ill-(A N P)-The
climax of ill-feeling between a
partnership OF three wellknoWn
oil prospectors here was reached
Saturday when Harvey Scott, head
| of the Black Panther Oil company
shot and killed o. L. Faulkner and
critically injured L. H. Horn, both
of Oklahoma City. Scott, who at
one time lived in Evanston, ILL.,,
and is understood to have proper
ty holdings in Chicago, is under ar
rest.
In an attempt to settle dispute
arising from an earlier partnership
Horn and Faulkner came to a
site where Scott was supervising
the sinking of a well, to reach
some agreement. A brief and violent
argument ensued and Scott open
ed fire, killing Faulkner instantly
and wounding Horn in the side.
Horns condition was reported as
critical.
SHIPPED TO OKLAHOMA
Faulkners body was shipped to
Oklahoma City for burial. During
his lifetime, he was we'll known in
Chicago where several persons had
invested large sums in promotions
of his and other principals schemes.
The three men joined forces in
1887 in Oklahoma where they en-
joyed varying success in various oil
ventures. They came !. JrtI: to IlE
