Of Corporation Taxes
In Present War
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 15.-Brig. Gen.
Leonard P. Ayres declared toda J
I'VE are doing a good deal better
job of administering our Federal
taxation of corporations in this war
than we did in the last war"
Writing in the Cleveland Trust
Co.'S monthly business bulletin, the
retired Army officer said.
1T now seems probable that tme
corporations will make profits in
1943 amounting to about % billions
and that they will retain about
IT billions and pay taxes of some
1873 billions. This will be a good
deal better record than the one we
made in the First World War.
In 1917 corporate profits amounted
to 1O.l billions and Federal taxes
took 81 billions of it. In 1918 profits
declined to TT billions and Federal
taxes increased to nearly 80 billions.
Clearly business could have paid
considerably higher taxes in 1917
and somewhat higher ones in 1918.
We are going a good deal better
job of administering our Federal
taxation of corporations in this war
than we did in the last war. In 1917
and 1918 the corporations con-
trlbuted to war costs some 80 per
cent of their profits, but in 1912 and
l943 their contribution will be SIS
per cent of their profits and more
than that in 1874"
The Cleveland statistician said
two tough problems" confront the
Nation: How to raise the addi-
tlonal manpoWer needed for the

Federal Land Bank
Clients 10 Get Par
Value on Stocks
1870 Formers In
This Section Will
Get $18,845

The 1870 shareholders Of the Federal
Land Bank in this section will receive
sls,s4b soon according to an announce
ment by President Roy L. Thompson of
The Federal Land Bank of New Orleans.
His statement follows:
"The program of the Federal Land
Bank of New Orleans for strengthening
the financial structure of National
Farm Loan Associations in Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana to enable
them to give a larger and more efficient
service to their members and to farm
ers generally to date has been accepted
by 81 per cent of the associations and
is now being put into operation.
Briefly, the plan provides for the
complete financial rehabilitation of as
sociations, and for the payment at par
of all association stock in connection
with loans which have been paid in full
by borrowers who have not received the
par value of their stock. The funds for
this purpose will be made available to
the associations by the Federal Land
Bank within a reasonably short time
and payments to retired shareholders
can then be made by associations soon
thereafter.
Provision, also, has been made for
the establishment of adequate reserves
in each association which offers reason
able assurance Of their continued future
solvency.
"The program futher provides for the
consolidation Of associations in appro-
pirate cases in order to effect a strong
er financial setup. and for the rear
rangement in some localities Of the as
ISOLATION territories to eliminate over
tapping of areas and duplication Of ef-
fort. Too, transfers Of borrowers loans
to another association can be effected
in order for them to obtain a more con-
v~enient service.
"It is believed that this program.
when completed at an early date, will
be effective in providing a more effici-
ent functioning Of the cooperative fea-
lures Of the Land Bank long term mort
gage credit system and enable the local
national farm loan associations to serve
, fully and efficiently the credit needs
of the farmers in this district. 1t should
make it possible for the association to
provide continuance, cooperative farm
mortgage credit service to farmers thru
responsible, we'll managed, solvent as
sociations.
at is possible that some holders Of
stock retirement certificates may receive
offers for the purchase Of their certifi-
Gates in view of the proposed payment
at par value. Any such certificate hold
ers should recognize hat the local nat

ional farm loan association will pay
out the certificates in cash at par value
at a reasonably early date and no
amount less than par should be ac-
cepted."
In commenting upon the plan for
building the effectiveness of the nation
al farm loan associations in the group
servicing this area and of which he is
secretary-treasurer and active officer,
c. W. Can, Lexington, said:
"The association rehabilitation and
reserve program announced today by the
president of The Federal Land Bank of
New Orleans has been approved by the
local national farm loan associations
and we are happy to note that il has
been declared operative. Detailed ar
rangements for carrying out the pro-
visions of the plan are now being work
ed out. In a reasonably short time
checks will go out to shareholders who
have retired their loans in full but
have not received the full par value Of
their stock. This distribution to farm
ers of this section will amount to $751;
s45 to be sent to 1870 former members.
at is my opinion that the plan is
the most forward step undertaken joint
ly by the bank and the associations
since they began operations more than
% years ago. 1t is believed this pro-
gram will materially improve the CO.
operative features of the systems, forti-
fly and make permanent the facilities
for extending long term credit at low
interest rates to farmers throughout the
, district, effect substantial economies
in operations both in the bank and in
the associations, and improve and en-
large the service which associations are
DESTROYS Of rendering to their members.
1t should invite the public interest, good
will, and confidence to. q degree beyond
that already experienced. Gladly can
we say when plans are consumated, No
, shareholder has ever lost a dollar thru
| the purchase of stock in our assoeia-
tion.'"
