the cast of "Mutiny on the Bounty,"

UP In Alberta, eeroes the Cana
dian line, they voted for a "so
cial credit" plan under which the
government la to pay a 26 a month
dividend to every adult citizen
vrhlch looks good on paper.
But the provincial legislature has
lust received Its first annual budget
since the" voting of this plan, and It
Includes:
1. A two per cent sales tag to
yield an estimated two million dol
lars for the benefit of Alberta's
depleted treasury. (Alberta already
owe al60.000.000, and ran nine and
a half millions Id the hole last year.)
3. A hundred per cent Increase In
Income tex ratea, to yield an esti
mated tl.300.0O0.
8. A three mills aoclal service tax
on dty lands, to yield an estimated
1.323,000.
THESE taxes, If they can be col
lected, will ralee a lot of money,
but thla fact atands out: - .
All put together, they will raise
only about four and a half million
dollars, and Alberta ran MINE and
a half millions In the hole last year,
and owes a total of 1180,000,000.
It will take quite a while, at their
present rate, to accumulate the
money with which to pay every adult
citizen his promised $36 a month.

tlona to distribute all their earnings
hereafter and then get his tax revenue
out of the stockholders who receive
the earnings.
It Is essentially the same funde
mental attack on bigness as repre
sented In the Frankfurter - Brandels
tax philosophy. That la as lare a
peg as has ever been offered for
minor loophole.
It was hardly an oversight that
Mr. Roosevelt neglected to go Into
the moral benefits of such tax.
Those of his advisers who know what
moral benefits were considered, and
who favor them, outline them some
thing like this:
- The control of corporations would
be moved from Wall Street to Mala
Street." Executives would have to
rely on stockholders for their capi
tal market. The stockholders would
get all the net earnings In dividend
and thus the executives would hsve
to come to the stockholders to raise
money for consolidations, plant ex
pansions, Increasing their own sal
aries etc.
Thus It would decentralize control
of business, would put a a trait jacket
on Its existing size.
No one ever contended that Wall
8treet li logical. No one will, after
the market went up on the basis of
the new tax program. i
Woozy thinkers up there jumped U
the conclusion that a distribution of
all corporate earnings would Increase
the value of stocks. It would, but
not under Mr. Roosevelt's program.
The fundamental fact la that Mr.
Roosevelt proposed to tax $620,000,
000 a year more out of corporate earn
ings Anyone can see upon reflec
tion that his program would actually
depreciate the real worth of corporate
stocks by that amount.
The price of ocks la supposed to
be based on net worth. That means
reserves as well as earnings and divi
dends. To distribute all the earnings
doea not change the material value
of the corporation. Instead, the dis
tribution weakens the financial posi
tion of the corporation, and the addi
tional taxes make Its stock worth
that much less.
It la not the first time Wall Street
chased a Roosevelt rainbow, nor will
It be the last.
