of corporate debt which has grown
enormously in the postwar years.
Together, the excess profits tax
and the double taxation of divi-
dends have worked to make CON-
mon stock ownership less attrac-
tive to the public. First. the cor.
'poration's earnings were whitfield
down to fractional size by the tax
collector. Second, management
was inclined to retain a large por-
ton of what was left to use for
expansion. Third, what was passed
along to the stakeholder got
whacked soundly again by the tax
collector.
Under excess profits taxation,
the U. S. Treasury took such q
high percentage of profit that cor.
porati0ns were encouraged to Dor
row-because the interest pay
ments could be charged off before
taxes and thus reduce the amount
of earnings subject to the high tax.
Now the common stakeholder
may look like a better revenue
source to business-and the stock
holder may be in for a break at
last.

There are some who would have

wrong that results from visiting
such a place is usually carried
there by each individual man.
Granted that the number OF B.

that floor shows are becoming IN

practically every liquor establish

matters that the police can handle
and eliminate within "a hours. The
blame shouldn't be placed On Key

NEW XURk Wi-buSlneSS may
shift its ways Of raising money as
4 result Of two tax developments,
They make the public look better
than the banker to business-and
should make business look better
to the public.
One tax development is the move
toward easing up on the double
taxation Of business earnings and
dividends. The stockholders-the
owners of business-would find the
returns of their ownership sweeter.
The other is the death of the
excess profits tax the first of this
year. That tax often made it more
profitable for business to 60 into
debt when it needed money to
expand than to raise the money
by increasing public ownership
through the sale of more stock
especially since some present
stockholders might object to "wa-
tering down" their equity in the
business.
Stock traders are apparently
feeling more optimistic about the
prospects for sales of stocks and
for the continuation of high divi-
dend payments to shareholders.
Dividend payments by corpora
tons last year came to around Ola
billion dollars. About 31s billion Of
that went right on through the
stockholders fingers and into the
U. S. Treasury. Under the proposal
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, by 1856 the stockhold-
ers would be retaining another bill.
lion dollars for themselves, as
Stunning that dividend payments
hold at the 1858 level.
This would make stock owning
look a lot brighter to the public,
brokerage firms here feel. And
they look for much better chances
for placing more common stocks
in the hands of the American
public.
The double taxation" charge
arises this way: First, the earnings
of the corporation are subject to
an income tax, at present So per
cent; the second. that part of the
earnings which is passed along to
the owners of the corporation in
the form of a dividend is subject
to the individual income tax.
The House group proposes to Lift
gradually some of this latter bur-
den, so that the stakeholder won't
have to pay income tax on all of
the money he gets as a dividend.

Since the war, corporations have
raised most of their new funds by

CLEVELAND, R-The prosecu-
ton punched today at two episodes
in Dr., Samuel H. Sheppard's ac-
count of the night his wife was
murdered. 1t got witnesses to say
his house was ablaze with light
and the lake outside was rough.
A Sheppard neighbor, Mrs. Jay
L. Bender, testified the saw lights
upstairs and down at 2::15 am. on
the murder morning. Sheppard has
said he chased his wife's killer
through a darkened house. II.
John Tronti, a dark, burly Gus
todian, said he had to quit fish
ing in Lake Erie near Sheppard's
home that morning becuase the
water was "bad" and lashing al
most the entire beach. The state
claims Sheppard's account of a
struggle with Marilyn Sheppard S
killer at the edge of the water is
phony because it says he would
have been drowned after being
knocked out.
But Sheppard's lawyers hit back
on a fingerprint experts testimony
that he found only one left thumb
print -Sheppards-- on Marilyn's
bed.
Defense Counsel William ] Cor
rigan suggested Sheppard could
have pressed his thumb against
