DIR. TUCKER OPENS. bo,,

: DIR. TUCKER OPENS: Although
the national income in the first hall
Of 1912 was 52% higher than in 1899
industrial corporation profits (net
after taxes). according to the Federal
Reserve Board, were only 1919
higher. Moreover profits have been
declining for nearly a year while
wages and farm incomes have been
rising rapidly. War work involves
great expenses, and profit margins
are limited by price ceilings and con-
tract negotiations.
What profit has seemingly been ma,
has mostly been taken away by taxes,
which were 3l% on income and 60%
on excess profits in 194l. Both of these
rates are higher in the 1912 tax bill.
Consequently the amount available
for dividends, which is the only fair
measure of corporations profits, will
probably be much less than in 1910
or l941. and about the same as in
1889. Dividends have been falling
since last December, because of
falling profits and the necessity Of
setting aside adequate reserves for
the inevitable costs of postwar re-
adjustment.
Isolated cases of small corporations
making large profits have been re-
ported, but industrial corporations
in general, whether engaged in war
work or attempting 10 continue
normal activities, have lost more be-
cause Of the war than they have
gained.
DR.. WALSH CHALLENGES: We
need a standard Of judgment on
what profits should be. l suggest they
be enough-no more than necessary
to induce the output we require
for all-out war. / know no one who
seriously holds that profits are now
inadequate to do that.
Indeed, DR.. Tucker admits that 1912
profits are 1917 higher than 1899
the wars first year and a year of
good profits and expanding produc-
ton.
The conclusion is unmistakable.
Profits are higher thai they need be;
hence they are too high and should
be taxed more heavily than even the
new evenu bill will require.
DIR. TUCKER REPLIES: I repeat
that profits in 1912 will probably be
about the same as in 1889. They will
certainly be at a lower rate on the
amount of investment.
Weekly wages average 500 higher
han in 1889; why should profits be
over? If profits should be limited to
he lowest rate required for about
var, why should not wages be SINH
arly limited? Why discriminate
10000 0 stockholders?
The preservation Of free enterprise
md free labor requires that profits
,e high enough to offset losses over
he years, and enough higher to in
luce investment. Present profits are
ow by that standard.

APPEARANCE CONSCIOUS

A drive around Glasgow will convince the observer that
we must have 400 or 500 Victory gardens in our town. One
significant fact we note: In almost every case where there is
a Victory garden, be the home large or small, there you also
will find a wellkept yard. There are exceptions, true, but gen
a well-kept yard as we'll. There are exceptions, true, but gen
orally this observation will be found correct. Evidently, folks
who will take the time and trouble to tend a garden also
develop a sense of order and neatness for all surroundings.
That is one ~by-product of the war that makes us think it's an
ill wind that blows nobody good. We hope this same tendency
carries over to peace years ahead.

Market in
Montana Will Be
Battled by OPA

In a joint statement issued to-
day. Ted Schoenborn, meat mar

A. T. Peterson, state OPA director,
sounded the opening gun in a state
wide campaign to bring home to
Montanans the meaning of "black
market" and the steps to be followed
in combating such developments
here.
ITO guarantee the necessary food
supplies for our armed forces and

button on the home front, strict
control of u food supply and dis

DIR. WALSH OPENS: My answer
is, yes. The U. S. Treasury, the Presi-
dent and Congress agree. That is why
they are presently supporting in
creases in corporation tax rates. In
194l corporation profits met after
taxi reached a 10-year high-'O%
over 1889, 300 over 1940-in spite OF
the increased tax schedule.
Even during the first half of 10 2,
income, before taxes, continued up
ward. This can be reversed only by
higher taxes. Unless we want another
year of high profits; if we want to
prevent a dangerous incongruity-
war for the many, profits for the few
we must adopt at least the in
creased rates of the present bill.
The above is sufficient answer, but
is easily reinforced. Current reserves
for various contingencies. including
taxes, are probably excessive. BUSI-
NESS WEEK says: MANY executives
have left a comfortable margin of
safety" These reserves make profits
look smaller than they are, not to
mention the Understandable padding

Profits can be reduced safely. Brit

that the war is being conducted with
equality Of sacrifice.
Yes. corporate wal profits are too
high.
DR.. TUCKER CHALLENGES:

all persons, not merely stockholders,
accept a reduced standard of living;
that val gains be taxed, whether re-

Doors OF Public
Places i'm City
To Be Inspected

To determine whether they are in
compliance with a new state law re-
curing that all doors open out
ward. inspection of all public places
in Glasgow is scheduled soon, it was
stated this week by Chief of Police
Bonnie Sather.
The law passed by the 1943 legis-
lature states that buildings used to
accommodate the public must have
doors that open outward. Regula-
tons concerning exits also are de-
fined in the law, the chief Of po-
lice said.
The law reads that every person,
who has custody of any building to
be used to accommodate public as
semblies. including churches, schools
court houses, theaters. public halls,
ball rooms, beer parlors, taverns,
road houses, night clubs or any
building Of like character, shall
have at least two separate exits as
tent with construction of the build
remote from each other as consis-
ing.
Each exit shall be at least 70
inches high and 80 inches wide and
doors shall be opened outwardly
period of occupancy.
No door shall be locked or fasten-
ed, according to the law and viola
ton can result in injunction and
abatement against the property, and
violation is a misdemeanor.

C%ORPORALS ARE PEEVED
(Helena Record-Herald

TTWET
From army posts ever the country come: a new complaint which to
the casual observer has the backing of considerable justification. 1t was
brought to Light by Cedric Adams of the Minneapolis Star Journal who
declares the corporals out at Fort Smelling are up m arms because
Winston Churchill and Commentator Katenborn and a lot OF others re
constantly referring to Hitler Is Corporal"
The corporal may be the lowest species of noncom officer, say the
corporals at Fort Smelling, but they figure Herr Schickelgruber couldn't
even make a common, garden variety CT yardbrd. Some are saying in
disgust they will give up their stripes if it keeps on while others are
demanding they be made sergeants to escape the onus Of being ranked
with the Beast of Europe.
Anyway you look at it the corporals have grounds for their peeve
and Mr.. Churchill, Kaftenborn and all the others who have dubbed
Hitler corporal should cease further slurs that offend a very important
section of our armed forces.

Hay Requirements
Will Be Greater
For Next Winter

BOZEMAN-Warning that all in
dicationS are that hay require
mentS for the coming winter viii
be as great or greater than during
the past winter, e. p. circuit, eX-
tension livestock specialist at Mon
tana State college, again urges that
ranchers put up every possible
pound of hay this summer.
A number of factors enter into
the outlook for the coming winter,
he said. For one thing, more hay
was fed than usual last winter and
reserve supplies we're depleted. In
addition, high prices late in the
winter and early in the spring
drew much hay out of Montana.
Another factor is that hay Yields
this seaSon are reported substantial
ly lower than in 1912.
Realizing that ranchers are OPP
Grating under severe handicaps this
year. circuit suggests that they
make use of any and all labor
available regardless of experience
because a short hay harvest will
seriously affect 1914 meat produc-
ton in the state, Townspeople, boys
and girls, women workers-all can
be of help, he said.
If not enough labor is available
for stacking. Orcutt recommends
that as much as possible of the hay
be cut and punched into big shocks
containing from one to three or
four buckloads in a shock. Stacking
can be done later or in the case
of the grass hays stacking can be
eliminated. Topping out the punches
will help if they are to be left
as s." he said, and sailing will
help if rain or snow hits the
punches. Use about one to two
pounds of salt per buckrake lood
hay, scattering the salt over the
hay.
