i business men who agitated-, the subject
before the -ways and means committee
of the last congress, the tax would
clearly bring in a sufficient amount of
: revenue to permit the removal of irk
some and annoying taxes from the peo
ple as a i whole. The transference
of a 1V& i per cent tax to the
public would! in - some cases occur of
course, hut with the excess profits taxes
is meant in some Instances the transfer
nee of a 20 per cent tax and sometimes
more than this. The theory seems to be
tnat 1 with ! j every concern paying
' 1 per- cent " on Its gross business
very year there would 1e collected just
a much money, but from more sources.
and that the burden would be so equit
ably distributed that . concerns which
have found themselves compelled to raise
prices will be able now to absorb the
effects of declining prices. - In other
words, released from the : payment of
exorbitant taxes, concerns will be able,
it is contended, to eCU at lower prices
and still make more money-thatt they
used to do when half of their profits had
to be paid to the government in taxes,
i Senator Harden also favors a repeal
of the excess profits taxes, but says he
has no solution to propose, this probably
meaning that he is awaiting the advice
of the country before making a recom
mendation of his own.
fiut before the campaign Is over It Is
anticipated that both the Republican and

down rather closely not only on taxa

FRANCE WANTS TO-SAVE
MILLIONS LENT TO RUSSIA
By Fred .vnruoii
fnitad Newi SUff CarrwixindeBt ?
New York. Aug. 12. France has ar
parently decided to fight for the mil
lions of dollars tn French money Invest
ed in Russian bonds during the regime
of the cxar's government.
It is significant that the announcement
from Paris, Wednesday, that France had
decided to recognise the government of
General Wrangel, anti-Bolshevist leader,
should be coupled with the statement
that Wrangel had agreed to assume all
obligations of the old Russian govern
ment. ;
It. as the cables Indicate, France has
nlede-ed milltarv akl to General Wiancel
In overthrowing the Bolshevik govern
ment. It marks another step of Inde
pendent action such as the French gov-
ernment took In occupying the German
Rhine cities. In that instance, th. al
lies, as a whole especially Kngland and
Italyopposed occupation because of thn
Ruhr dispute,.. and France then acted
alone.
. In the present case. Kngland and Italy .
stood against opposition to KushIk by
force of arms. Under British Influence,
the allied premiers advised Poland not
to attack the Bolshevlkl, But the
Pollsff army Is officered largely by
Frenchmen. The French are practically
the military advisers cf the Pole, and A
the Poles attacked. The - results have
become disastrous and France is now
apparently ready to again act Independ
ently and give the Poles her physical as
.Well as moral support.
