Admiral Hiraide referred to the

Absurdity in the Tax Bill


THE admonton by the TREASURER of Boeing Aircraft
Corporation which Uncle Sam relies for the Flying
Forresses needed for victory against the Axis that the
revenue bill passed by the House Of Representatives and
pending the Senate would probably end the cN-
isence of the company viii help TO awaken Americans TO
the realities
1t is ridiculously stupid for thc ,o,rrntent in re-
Spouse 10 the clamor OF damagosy and emoonalsm 20
threaten to TAN OFT. Oh. EXISTENCE the facilities
on WHICH IT is RELYING FOR THE MUNITIONS
or WAR
The danger arises from misunderstanding cngcndcrcd
by incorporate corporation batting
When corporations go 100 per cent on war work
and become "arsenas of democracy it is misleading TO
regard them conventional private business enterprises
AS matter Of fact, Boeing and the other aircraft
makers now working for a single customer, namely
Uncle Sam
While this situation exists it is dsiusyc to regard
such munition makers as taxpayers nasmuch the
right hand of government buyer Of goods IS pouring
the funds which turn such companies pay out to
the left hand Of government as tax collector.
IN OTHER words Boeng like other armament makers
has to add something the price of the goods which
it sells the federal government in order to collect tax
funds which in due it pays back to the same
government
This roundabout method does not make sense.
When the corporation dealing with the general
public and has many customers, its role intermediate
tax collector may serve some useful function.
But where a company is on an All out war basis,
the federal government obviate profeerng through
close negotiation of contracts. 1t does not have to
pay for munitions and then rely recoupng the excess
payments through taxation
The system becomes all the dangerous in special
situations such at Boeing where general tax formulate
work individual inequities.
Z. BOWMAN, treasurer of the company, testifying
i. before the Senate finance committee just after his
company had been sgnaly honored with the army-navy
sc" award for excellence, said:
81 am here TO plead with you for the life of this
company because in opinion this tax BILL passed in
It's present form, will probably end its exstence say
this with all seriousness"
Mr.. Bowman pointed out that because Boeing had
suffered heavy losses during the base period of 1936939
while it developing the Flying Fortress and other
craft and because it could claim only low invested
capital credit 966 per cent of its net income would be
subjected to the proposed 90 per cent profits tax
Mr.. Bowman's straightforward testimony is re-
minder Of Chief Justice Marshals dicum to the effect
that 1.-The power to tax is the power to destroy"
If through misguided zeal or fiscal incompetence, the
law-making body should destroy impair the great
Industrial facilities of the United States, it would unwit
tingly be giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
This dramatic example should sober up the Senate
and inspire it to write COMMON SENSE and FORBEAR-
ANCE into the tax bill submitted by the House.
