cabins as the targets, is prevail'

An investigation of the latest
episode is now under way.
Three Prospect juveniles . are
held in the county jail following
vandalism in a Woodruff Mead

a .similar case in the Eagle Point
area was cleared up.
According to the investigating

the motive.
It's all done with
"know-how"
To win a war that's simple.
You merely do the impossible.
Hannibal crossed the uncross
able Alps. Joshua took impreg

he couldn't
But when it comes to doing
the super-dooper, the world has
never seen anything to approach
this nation's trick of fighting
two wars at once on far sides
of a reasonably large planet.
Ona reason for this success.
with one of the wars now
won and the other well on the
way is that our generals have
been able to borrow largely
from business and industry
vast amounts of "know-how."
They've borrowed tons and tons
of gray matter. Our not uncom
mon experience may illustrate.
When Uncle Sam's armies "
crashed into Germany, the gen
erals knew what they wanted to
do in the occupied: section
through both military and civil
agencies. But planning the nec
essary organization embracing
civilian specialists of every kind
was something else. They asked
for one of our experts.
They knew he was pretty
good, because he had done im
portant organization planning
for the War Production Board
and the Petroleum Administra
tion for War. In fact, one gov
ernment agency or another has
had him for a couple of years.
Now he's in Germany head
man on organization.
Similarly our men with
know-how have answered many
another call executives, tech
nicians, research specialists,
transportation and business ad
ministration experts. They've
helped keep things rolling at
Army posts, airfields, supply
depots here and abroad.
Both Hitler and Hirohito
thought global warfare impos
sible for America.They believed
the planning and execution be
yond any general or general
staff. They overlooked Ameri
ca's reserve of "know-how."

What About Taxes?
Babson Nor Hopeful for Reduction
By Roger W. Babson
Washington, D.-C, June 25
(Special Correspondence) The
past week I have been trying to
make an intelligent forecast of
the prospects for reduced Fed
eral taxes after Japan collapses,
which should be within six
months. This is a summary of
my conclusions.
EXCESS PROFITS TAXES
CUT DIVIDEND RECEIPTS
The average investor little
realizes what tremendous sums
corporations are penalized by ex
cess profits taxes. In many cases
these taxes amount to more than
investors receive in dividends;
in fact, sometimes double or per
haps triple. If these were sud
denly eliminated, after Japan col
lapses, some companies could
double or triple their dividends.
Yet in all probability this will
not happen, especially if com
pany earnings fall off materi
ally. I am sure that the excess pro
fits taxes will not be cut off al
together and corporations will
be lucky if they are cut in half
within a year after Japan col
lapses. My present belief Is that
these excess profits taxes will
gradually be reduced as the earn
ings of companies gradually de
cline during the postwar period.
The general purpose of such a
tax program would be to keep
corporation net earnings about
where they are today without
giving them the advantage of
peace, but preventing them from
being penalized by the falling
off of war business.
NORMAL TAXES
DOUBLED SINCE WAR
Normal corporation taxes be
fore the war were 20 per cent.
Then they were Jacked up to 40
per cent at which they are at
present. My feeling is that there
will be a compromise at 30 per
cent and perhaps stabilization at
this figure for some time. This
would be a fair thing to do if
the excess profits taxes are
eliminated. These excess pro
fits taxes are what are "causing
the trouble and may be a real
factor in causing unemployment.
Congressmen should insist that
these excess profits taxes are
eliminated as soon as possible
with a fair compromise on nor
mal taxes.
Some of the remaining New
Dealers in the Administration
are talking about the entire
elimination of corporation taxes
and putting all the tax burden
on individuals after they receive
their dividends. Their theory is
that with the present high cor
poration taxes the small investor
is taxed on his careful savings
the same as is the multimillion
aire. Hence, they would let all
dividends come through from
the corporation without taxation
and then tax these dividends as
they are received by individuals.
The small investor would then
pay only, say a 20 per cent tax;
while the millionaire would pay
a 90 per cent tax.
BALANCING BUDGET
MEANS TAX NEEDED
President Truman is an honest
man. Furthermore, he is thrifty
and sincerely hopes to balance
the budget before he runs again
for office in 1948. He can so
balance the budget only by keep
ing up taxation. Hence, I am
not as optimistic as some of my
friends in believing that there
will be radical tax reductions
after Japan collapses. "We
should hope for the besi, but pre
pare for the worst." At least
this is my conclusion at the pre
sent time. The only possible ex
ception is. in the, case of corpora
tions whose stock at market
prices represents actual cash in
vested. There may be exemp
tions to the extent that the book
values of corporations and the
actual cash invested are repre
sented in the assets.
Finally, let it be remembered
that although President Truman
is both honest and thrifty, he has
been well-trained in the school
of politics. Although he may
turn neither to the right nor to
the left yet he may perform that
acrobatic feat which the tight
rope walker with the long pole
performs at the circus. Instead
of following any one pressure
group or ignoring any other one
pressure group, he will throw a
few crumbs to each pressure
group. This means when it
comes to taxes that all forms of
taxes excess profits, normal
corporation, individual and so-
I called "nuisance taxes" may all
J be reduced proportionately "giv
ing every dog a little bite.
