Clearly it is a mathematical impos- j sibility under the present tax struc­ ture for arty firm having an Invested capital of even ten per cent of its annual sales. It is not impossible if the corporation consists merely of a couple of desks and chairs in a rented room of a city building and with the main stock in trade being a favorable connection with some agency able to dispense war con-: tracts which can be sub-let to man­ ufacturing concerns looking for such work. The truth of the matter Is that man­ ufacturing plants having the normal investment per worker hired, may be making five per cent or less on their Invested capital after taxes are paid. They are not able to build up ade­ quate funds to carry them over a slack period after the war. The uble Democratic Senator George, chairman of the senate finance com­ mittee, Is well aware of thia fact and Is deeply concerned. He fears that the present tax structure will dis­ able very large numbers of the small; er corporations and will leave the field open to only the ^arge and amply fi­ nanced concerns. He has stated that he favors a large tax refund to cor­ porations for a post-war back-log which will Insure private jobs for re­ turning soldiers and sailors. He probably will come forward with a bill to that effect when the next tax legislation is up for passage. It Is the controversy between those favoring State Socialism and those favoring private enterprise. If the State is to operate most businesses, a post-war back-log for corporations will not be necessary. If private enterprise Is to be restored then such a back-log will be necesary.
