I PROBLEMS OF TAXATION.
How difficult is the Levying of taxes so as to avoid inflicting in
justices is brought out by the experts on taxation from over the
country who arc assembled in convention in Salt Lake City.
Prof, ('has Bullock of Harvard, in discussing the proposal of a
tax on undivided earnings of corporations, as a way out of the sit
uation created by the decision of the supreme court exempting stock
dividends from the excess profits tax, and the extension of the p4
cial excise tax On commodities.
Prof. lUillock said that the idea that such a tax should be pro
gressive." in that larger rates would be charged when the undivided
profits were large, would if carried out, result in making the posl
tirn ot' a dominant cpmpanj in an) industry impregnable Profed
snr Bullock said that it might be that congress would find itself pnss-
Iing such a law as the best way to meet present conditions
"It is easy to kick hobs in any of these proposals, but that does
not get us anywhere " he added, and pointed out that when such
a large amount of revenue is to be raised as three or four million
dollars, it is impossible to satisfy everyone He pointed out that a
tax of undivided profits would afiei. t those industries in which the
profits fluctuate gn-atlv from car to year, that corporations which
are under contract to retire bonds befere issuing new securities
would be hard hit, and he urged that the young industry, which, if
it is to be placed on a sound basis, must turn its profits badh inl" its
business, would be hard hit. while the larger and more securely en-!
trenched company whi h makes i small rate of profit compared with
the successful young industry Wduld he made still stronger
