Mr. Sloan "Saves" $2,000,000!
CCORDING to testimony before the congressional tsx com-
mittee yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Alfred P. Sloan Jr.,
"saved" nearly $2,000,000 in taxes from 1934 to 1D36, by form
ing personal holding companies, five of them.
. That's a lot of money. It wouldn't balance the national
budget, but if 500 people should do what the Sloans did, the
total "saving", would amount to a billion dollars, which would
take Uncle Sam out of the red and put him in the black.
UNDOUBTEDLY Mr. Sloan is very critical of the govern
. ment for not balancing its budget. But how does he
expect the government to do this when the example be has Bet
is followed? If the budget is ever to be balanced it must be
done by levying taxes, and chiefly income taxes.
, But Mr. Sloan doesn't believe in paying income taxes, or
at least not one's rightful share of them.
HE agrees with J. P. Morgan.
If by paying $100,000 to a smart lawyer, you can deprive
the government of $1,900,000, and salt the $1,800,000. away in
the bank for yourself, you are Bmart. You are not only a .good
business man you are a good citizen.
For when it comes to paying taxes to the government, let
the government beware 1 If there is any' legal way to get out
of it, that way, not only will be followed but SHOULD be
followed.
It isn't up to the individual.
It's up to the government.
If the government hasn't brains enough to devise a system
of income tax laws thct CAN'T be evaded, that's just too bad
for the GOVERNMENT.
When the individual pays what lie has to pay to keep out
of jail, no more, no less, he has done his duty, and his
ENTIRE duty. '
Having done it according to the Morgan-Sloan code, if the
government complains, and dares give publicity to the legal
subterfuges adopted to evade the full tax, th.en the government
is playing politics, going beyond the law to soak the rich
arousing class prejudice, "inviting a revolution, etc., etc., ETC"
.
T IP hum so it goes! This column can't qualify as a tax
S expert, or a tax purist. Nor glo we deny that as far as
the LETTER of the law is concerned Messrs. Sloan and Morgan
have a ease.
Nevertheless in this particular instance we are with the
government and against the Sloans and Morgans. Moreover,
instead of disapproving the publicity given, the various and
sundry legal subterfuges, the latter have adopted, to keep mil
lions of dollars out of the U. S.
there, we henrtily approve of it.
For as we see it, PUBLICITY
WAY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.
For how can the law prevent
a holding company, if he WISHES to form onct
It can't!
That holding company having been formed, how can it pre
vent the owner of that holding company, from using thai
organization, which he entirely
he desires! '
Perhaps some will say a law
for1 any holding company to be
ing income taxes, or subsequently being used for that purpose.
That sounds well, but in actual practice, HOW could such
a law bo enforced f . .
iJONE of these holding companies, personal corporations,
incorporated private yachts, fake insurance companies, or
what have you are formed for the purpose of reducing income
taxes, not for a moment I As far as the legal record is con
cerned they are absolutely bona fide, entirely legitimate. Nor
would there ever be any admission on the part of the owrcrs
they wore conducted for niiy improper purpose. The govern
ment would have to prove it.
P"OULD iU
Holding companies don't produce anything. They merely
handle properties. These fake holding companies are all in the
higher brackets, where there is a wealth of property to handle,
to shuffle about as the owner wishes. ' '
It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to see, that in any
court, it would be practically impossible to draw a clear distinc
tion, between a legitimato holding company and an illegitimate
one. The smart lawyers, for the latter, would see to that.
And if in certain instances
thent '
Would that stop these tax dodging practices!
Not for a minute. If the holding company loophole were
stopped up the lawyers would quickly find some other, and if
that were stopped some other, for this can be taken as an
axiom: no law in a democracy can be enforced if there is a
powerful group, backed by plenty of money, that is determined
to evade it. And this is particularly true if this evasion is
condoned and not attacked by
For no law is stronger than
law however poorly drawn, is weaker than the popular support
of it.
And here wo come to the nub
this column is concerned.
TTjTE live in a democracy. We are convinced the people of
' this country arc overwhelmingly in favor of the inc'mie
tax. We are convinced the people believe, every man, with a
taxablo income, large or small, should support his government
by paying his just share OF that tax. Not more than he owes,
not less than he owes, but WHAT ho DOES owe I
If Mr. Sloan, or Mr Morgan,
receive a net income of $500,000
should pay the tax the law calls for in that bracket. They
should not only pay it, they should pay it gladly, for the great
wealth they enjoy, has come to tlu-m from the country and the
people in it.
THIS is not only a matter of

17E believe this to be the popular view of the matter in this
country and we believe it is entirely right. It is the view
that should prevail.
Instead of Messrs. Morgan and Sloan being smart, we regard
them as dumb. Instead of the GOVERNMENT being respons
ible for arousing class prejudice, they by their public endorse
ment of such an attitude toward their financial obligations to
the government, have done just THAT.
.We are against Morgan and Sloan, not because they are
rich but because they are wrong.
And we believe as a result'of this income tax publicity,
and that alone, there is an excellent chance, that when some
time has passed and their indignation cools somewhat, they will
in their more confidential moments, admit it. For such an
attitude' is MORALLY wrong, even though it can be made
legally SAFE. And it only takes a little SERIOUS considera
tion on the part of men as intelligent as Morgan and Sloan
are, to see it. -
And that will be all to the good and mark another step
forward in this demoeracy 1

THE MAIN STUD
In earlier talka It waa Intimated
that Odd House will have no dining
room, but Instead the space old
fashioned, folk g&vo to the dining
room will be used
for a library. For
ordinary brealc
faits, lunches,
snacks or square
meals a pleasant
section In one
end of the kit
chen, with an
outlook on gar
den, patio, lawn
or trees will be
used, and for
more formal din
ner parties the
library will be
f deal.
Odd House is to have two studios.
The main studio will be devoted ex
clusively to culinary art and art
crUlclsm and appreciation. It will
have large windows extending to the
height of the celling, on one or 11
possible on two sides. These wln
dowa will all open fully and be fitted
with screens that open by rolling up
like ordinary window shades on roll
ers. And the artificial lighting of
the culinary studio will be as care-'
fully planned as that of any other
room In the house.
The celling and upper half of the
walls will be finished In white, cream,
Ivory or light yellow, washable. In
direct lighting will be used through
out Odd House, save places where
concentration of light Intensity la
desired. The glare of visible lights
In any room Is repellant, whether we
realise It or not. On the other hand.
the soft, natural radiance of the room
Illuminated from Invisible source Is
always pleasing and attractive. I am
reminded of this by the show win
dow of one merchant on a street
t blaze with flashing electric and
neon signs. This window literally
stops the passing crowd not a light
visible, tbe display indirectly Illum
inated la Indeed soothing to tired
eyes.
Attention wilt be given to the In
flow of fresh air through a screened
duct from outside to a grating under
or back of the cooking range, the
Inlet being larger In diameter than
the outlet vent.
Only sufficient room for the artist
to work with convenience will be
planned In the culinary atudlo. The
tesa space without cramping the bet
ter. Culinary Implements and ware will
be copper, Iron, aluminum, wood- en
amel, stainless steel, tin, china, glaz
ed earthen ware, and some white
metal fitments. At Odd House we
do not take seriously' the fears some
gullible customers have about the
use of certain of these kitchen wares.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Soundness of Sleep.
When Is sleep the soundest or best?
t mean, Is there any basis for the
common Idea of "beauty sleep be
fore midnight? S. L.)
Answer The deepest sleep occurs
about an hour after one goes to
sleep. Sleep Is more shallow for the
second to the third hour. Prom the
fourth to the fifth hour It la still
more shallow. Then follows another
period of deeper aleep at about tbe
sixth to seventh hour In adults, the
ninth to tenth hour In children. It
makes no difference whether the
sleep la before or after midnight.

things being equal.

cream of tartar for several weeks,
but It does not seem to remove the
