NEW YEAR Tax hints from
informed sources say that Secre-
tary Morgenthau will again call
for 100 per cent tax on cor
porate earnings above . per cent
ON invested capital. Since Wash
ington Is loaded with the take
the profits out of war" idea, and
since this IL congressional cleo
ton year, Mr.. Morgenthau's sug-
gestion will not be thrown over
board as 1t was last year.
Informed circles say that con-
gress will work out a compromise
with the treasury department.
The 8 per cent Morgenthau plan
will be accepted, but in place of a
100 per cent recapture tax on the
balance, the schedule will be so
per cent and the corporation Will
invest the remaining profit in nom
interest war bonds to be issued
for that purpose.
STEEL Trade insiders say the
steel industry's order backlog
hovers around the 10000, 000-ton
mark-about one-third annual pro-
duction capacity. But that is not
unfavorable news. More than IS
per cent of the order backlog il
made up of armament require
ments. Prospects point To a
steady demand for war needs.
In the meantime, civilian demands
continue TO pile up which makes a
grand volume Of untitled business.
CONTRAST - The Interstate
commerce commission required
less than two weeks to grant the
railroads of the nation the 10 pei
cent passenger fare increase re
quested to offset higher operating
costs because of the wage boost
and did so despite the fact thai
railroads are now showing gooc
profits.
The securities exchange com.
mission has had before it, fol
more than six months. the New
York stock exchange application
for higher commission rates Il
offset higher operating costs anc
have not as yet received an,
reply despite the fact that few
brokerage firms are coverin,
overhead.
Thus we have a contrast of how
two government agencies HANDLE
/ matters.
