Secretary Houstoi k rote the house ways and means committee urging an immediate simplification of these taxes and substitution of a flat tax on excess profits instead of the graduated rates of 20 and 40 per cent. "Only very moderate reductions" may be made in the calendar year of 1922, collected in 1923, the secretary wrote. Under the plan of a flat tax, the letter stated, it would bo possible to adopt a reclining rate, ?ay of 25 per cent, for the first year in which the change is in operation. 20 per cent for the second year and 15 per cent thereafter. Unless action is taken at the present session of congress Mr. Houston -aid existing tax "must continue to be collected on the basis of the present law until the close of the calendar year 1922." Such a condition he wrote is contemplated with he gravest apprehension." Immediate losses to the government under the supreme court's decision that stock dividends are not axable will approximate $10,000,)00, the letter stated. Secretary Houston added, however, that the dtimate loss would be only $25,000, )00, as much of the original loss >vould be regained through the sale >f stocks and subsequent taxes on hem. The secretary estimated that 535,000,000 collected in 1918 w >ul1 lave to be refunded and $70,000,000 .vould be lost on 1919 taxes. Aggregate losses for 1918 and 1919 under exemption to persona' service corporations will approxi nate $12 000,000, involving 2,500 :oi porations, the secretary wrote idding that the need for immediate egislation to meet this situation irose "not so much from the possible loss of revenue as from the bvious undesirability of permitting !,500 corporations and their stockholders to escape the taxes upon the 1 ll. _ 1 urporauons and tnose imposed upon ndividuals." Chairman Fordney of the house rays and means committee commenting on Secretary Houston's suggestion for a flat tax to supplant he present graduated system said he repeal of the $2,000 exemption granted under present income laws md the creation of a flat tax on a!1 nofits and incomes would result in .owering the average tax from 22 Dor cent, to approximately 17 per sent. ] "Present taxes are based on the Imposition of profits," he said, whi ^ lrder the proposed flat tax there .vould be a straight assessment re- j ;ardloss of the disposition of the , axablc anuunts." Representative Kithcin, Demoerrt i North Carolina, however, said the proposed change in the income an 1 excess profits taxes would "switcr. 1 ihe burdens from the war and peace i3rofiteers to the little fellow's, least capable of bearing the burden." Present tax laws have the approval 3f President Wilson, Former Secre- i Lary McAdoo and congress, he stal ed, adding, "they are working satis- , factorily." ; SHORTERSEASON ! FOR WILD TURKEYS: The General Assembly has < 1 >sed me season tor wild turkeys March i cutting it down from April 1 as it appears on the back of licenses, and all turkey hunters will be warned. Since March the season has b en closed on all game animals and birds within the borders of the State. The sportsmen might as well put away the old "smoke-iron" until the first of next September, when the season for deer and marsh hens open. The only excuse for a man being abroad with his gun now is to kill predatory animals destroying his property. All others carrying guns have the finger of suspicion resting on them. To shoot at any time on or near a public highway, unless a man owns the land on both sides of it, is a misdemeanor punishable under the terms of section M9 of the Criminal Code. Token as a whole, the local season has been good for the hunters. The drought interfered a good deal with the partridge shooting. The duck hoc;ting was good; hut better in the Santee region than last season and mover in the Edisto. This is perhups due to food conditions. Deer and turkey shooting has been good, woodcock and snipe a negligible quantity. There are hundreds of thousands f ducks of many varieties right \ 1 V ' .
