During the wicked reign of Manasseh gold was god; Baal was the
deity and decent people were persecuted. The courts were corrupt
and justice was bought and sold. Isaiah, who spoke and wrote to
the point, tells the story of conditions 2600 years ago and also we
have ample information as to what happened to government and
its gangsters. The condition simply was the natural sequence of
the way people let things drift. The book of the great prophet
historian reveals just how easily the rulers and crooked lawyers got
away with it: it was simply because they were no worse than the

is taken:
Q. What is the excess-profits tax? A. A tax on excess profits.
Q. What are excess profits? A. Profits In excess of a reason
able return on capital invested.
Q. Are excess profits conscionable? A. The practice of gouging
exceae (or reasonable l profits out of the people In tbe stress of war
has always been considered as highly reprehensible and as even
unpatriotic.
Q. Was this largely the reason for the Imposition of th' excess
profit tax? A. It was.
Q. Is there any reason for continuing the making
profits? A. None whatever, except Inherent greed.
Q. Would we stop the making of excess profits by repealing the
tax? A. We would not. The same spirit of greed which prompted
thlr exaction In the ftrst place would continue with unabated force.
Q. U there any guarantee that If the excess profits arV repealed
the profiteers would reduce prices to the consumer? A. None what

promises.
