the source of payments of dividends
and interest on investments. This
'loophole" let's about $3.50 million
in revenue slip through each year.
II you're still looking for ''loop-
hole" don't overlook the capital
gains opening, which costs uncle
Sam 500 million a year.
The average big businessman Is
oyerjoyed to total up the years net
income and find that the magic 81
million mark is in sight. His joy be-
comes grief. however, when he
realizes that the million will be
$4,000 when Uncle Sam gets through
with 1t.
On the other hand, reasonably
affiuent landowner finds himself in
need of ready cash. He unloads
property for a total profit Of 81 mil
lion and he ends up with $740, 900
instead Of only $4,000.
The law says that sale Of any real
asset. namely, stocks, bonds. ma
cfinery and real estate. If the scllGr
is not engaged in such sales for a
livelihood, is considered capital gains
and subject to 26 per cent tax only.
Another trick that isn't too well

known Is the chain store corporation
plan. While it hasn't been employed
too often, 1t would permit a big
grocery chain to incorporate each
store individually, thereby resulting
in a tremendous reduction in tax
rates on gross income for each store.
Last. but not least, is the insurance
business provision. This has been
under attack for years. But insur-
ance firms say they wouldn't be
able to pay of promptly without this
tax advantage.
The insurance companies take in a
lot of money during a year and a
large portion of it might be classed
as profit, since many policies lapse
in any given year. II heavy tax is
placed on them, these companies say.
a sudden drain on the Golfers could
result in not enough cash to pay OF.
A certain portion Casually largel
must be held In reserve to meet such
a demand.
Also, there are the underwater
profits. According to mortality tables.
a fixed number of persons should die
each year. If this estimate were ap-
piled equally to the insurance business
at large. it wouldn't be far wrong.
but some companies escape q heavy
drain. while others are hit hard in
given year. Those that escape
heavy liability aren't required to file
returns on the difference between
what they did pay out and what the
law Of averages says they should have
paid.
The sharp-eyed Democratic tax ex-
perts who are sl1arpshooting at the
holes IN the law see hundreds Of tiny
cracks that also might be plugged.
But II the big ones can be closed.
they seem to agree that, 1t then viii
be times to talk about higher taxes
on the little fellow, about whom
most politicians are worried this
election year.

cent Of gross income, tax free. The
remainder then is subject to the usual
corporation and business levies-bu
at lower rate than If the entire
amount were taxable.
The Democrats charge that more
thar $3.50 million slips through Uncle
Sans fingers each year under this
provision. If an oil company crosses
500 million. it Immediately pockets
a cool $27.5 million before paying
cent Of taxes. A tidy profit on an an
nual operation in anybody's business.
The same applies to all other mineral
products.
Why does this provision exist? Why
was it permitted in the first place?
When the gasoline age swung into
high gear during the roaring '20s,
oil prospectors and scientists viewed
with alarm the idea of quick de-
pletion Of all petroleum resources in
this country. In those days, oil well
drilling and other allied operations
cost plenty and most companies were
reluctant to lay out much cash on a
proposition that might fall apart any
time. A dry oil well really puts its
owner in the hole.
To stimulate the search for new
