-j? INCOME TAX IN CONNECTION la * WITH FALSE CHARGES of 1? re< (From Manufacturers Record.) : Ar Baltimore, Mr., June 8, l'J18. thi Hon. William G. McAdoo, iho Secretary of the Treasury, as Washington, D. C. as My Dear Mr. McAdoo?Will you ch permit me to trespass upon your time fu and press upon your attention one ire phase of our revenue work which an > needs to be very carefully guarded. an I refer to the impression that is being created throughout the country that bu all large profits are a species of proii- tc< teering, and that the manufacturers of the country or other business in- Pr terests must be penalized, not only by wi a heavy income tax, hut by beinpjio classed as profiteers if they make a.?s moderate profit on their business. .oil j. m The manufacturing industry of this ar country could never have been de-1 te vetoped in peace times if those who w' have had the skill and the capital tojtr create our vast industrial activities |ur had been limited to any small rate of th pain. The chances for loss in all in-jto dustrial enterprises are preat. To ni all such interests there come years of depression when profits are small, i years when they are unable to make (of a profit and when they even show a nt loss. Every well manaped concern al must take into account these condi- ro tions and set aside a surplus from cr years of prosperity for the lean years ni that are always inevitable, and al- jsc low a full niarpin for depreciation;01 and for the sudden ehanpe which w often takes place in plant equipment P' by the fact that new inventions makcj^ old machinery valueless. ior f -these are among the dangers J P( which constantly confront every man-lw ufacturer who does not take due|ai cognizance of these facts will sooner ^h ... or later end in bankruptcy, to thei,n loss of individual stockholders and' to the nation's loss by the destruction! he of capital and industry. jsh The profit of manufacturing and jar of all other business interests must,.do therefore, be studied from this pointiwi of view, and especially at the present! in time, when abnormal expenses and | th the high cost of equipment will en- rt danger the future of all industry ha when the war is over, unless ample provision is now made by manufactur- gC ing concerns to wipe off a large part f0 of their plant investment and allow th a full margin of depreciation for on s equipment which, crowded to its ut- 3h .most capacity today, will a few years of hence be worth but little if anything, tu There is another point to which I an would also ask your attention, and gi that is the danger to the very life of on *the .nation which will come t'nrouorh < <> f the creation of the impression that fte ijmhm men iUe cuuaict co wtr '** in profiteering, ue y Statements to this ecect are de being used by the Socialistic pro- mi German-Bolshevistic agitators found be among the press and the people ev everywhere. Though you may ques- on tion the accuracy of this statement, I th want to go" on record as saying that su this nation is facing exactly the same ac dangers which brought ruin to Rus- w< sia through the German propaganda bo which destroyed the morale of the ho Russian people and brought about | socialism and anarchy. The same in-jjie fluences are at work in America. Dis-!()f patches are being sent out from Washington from time to time which are absolutely misleading. They ere-' s^j ate'false impressions. Apparently ov they are written for the express pur- jn( pose of bringing about dissatisfaction and promoting a spirit of unrest and of hostility to all business ()j, interests of the country. ^ Crowded to the limit of your time, ijvi as you are at present, you cannot watch all of these conditions, for 1 ^ presume you rarely see the dispatches and that you do not, therefore, un- IU" derstand the adverse influences which they are having upon the thought of ^ the nation. While there may be here and there *'n : ,j*c GIRLS! GIULS!

' ' ' I case of profiteering or of robbery f the Government, I believe that you * :ognize that the great majority of nerican people are honest at heart, at the business men are just as nest, just as loyal, just as patriotic ^ are the men in public life, ami just much as the farmer an<l the meanic. Indeed, I know that you are Uy aware of the fact, as every dilint man must be, that the business N in themselves are working harder d longer hours than is the average ichanic at the present time. If the siness man is charged with profiling, surely the farmer and the'd echanic, the one with his high v ices for his produce and the other d th the exorbitant figures being paid ' t r his labor, should also he> classified ,d profiteers. I do not believe that j s '.her should thus be classified. There |V e profiteers among all of these in-it rests, but broadly speaking, tho,r iole nation outside of those con-Is oiled by pro-German influences is j litedly and wholeheartedly doing j* e best it can to produce foodstuffs, t increase the output of coal and(l unitions and iron and steel and to 1 lild ships. It Would it not, therefore, be the part; wisdom for you and others con-(t ctcd with the Administration to doil 1 in your power to remove the er-^ incous impressions which have been t eated by some of the wild state-^ ents made in Washington and by(? ime of the misleading reports sent i it to many papers from Washington ! hich together 'nave created the im-'< -essiop that a]i business interests,> a large proportion at least, nre.j tgaged in profiteering and should be 1 mnlizcd by an income tax which' ould leave ony a narrow margin: id not a margin sufficient to meet e ups and downs of every business ; terest? Please remember that 1 am in 1 ;arty accord with the idea that there . ould be an adequate income tax, id a tax on individual incomes. I { i not believe, however, that it is * ise to put on the men who are bear- 1 ir the burden of carrying the nation '1 rough this war as large a propo-,c ion of the cost in money as some 1 A'e suggested. ( This war is being fought for all ineration to come. All civilization r centuries will reap the benefit of e struggle of this hour, and it is ily fair that future generations ould bear a very large proportion the actual money cost, since fu- * re generations will hot have to bear ly of the agony of those who are ving their sons and other loved ies to the struggle, or any of the 'rtnxr J*- ^ - ,? >/ v? wiuoc vyiiw uio uu nie uuuield in behatf of. civilization. This at tp the natieti in suffering:, in rivenal sorrow, in the probable 1 ath and permanent invalidism of illions of our soldiers, is a cost far 1 yond the total money cost, hower great the latter may be, When 1 ce we have won a complete victory, is country will leap forward with * ch tremendous worldwide business tivity that the increase in its jalth will easily take care of any nded indebtedness, it matters not w great it may -be. k If. on the contrary, we press too ' avily upon the business activities the present, we shall produce a ndition which- will lessen the na-i m's productive power instead of imulating to the utmost extent! ery energy which can be made to ^ urease the output of iron and coal j <1 steel and oil and sulphur and odstuff=, and the thousand and one ^ her things which enter into thei eat issue upon which the life of our'^, tion depends. ij The point, however, which I wanted j make in this letter was preemi- ( ntly the one of urging upon you and her members of the Administration e necessity of suppressing the pro- f ;rman scheme of creating confusion i d destroying the morale of the na- o >n by the wild statements which c e sent broadcast to the effect that e business men of the country are >rse than highway robbers seeking s enrich themselves at the expense v civilization. I am sure that you ree with men that this is an unrtunate and untruthful charge o ainst the business interests of the r untry, and yet this is in effect the ly in which statements emanating I sm Washington are spread broadst over the nation. The iron and steel men are being ( ked by the Government to crowd eir plants to the last ounce of proctive power, to increase their outt by the building of additional ints and the opening of new mines, n le sulphur interests are being urged t find new sources of sulphur sup- t /. In the danger of a coal famine f e coal producers are being urged to o 3wd the output of their mines, and n e lumber people and the shipbuild- s 3 are being asked by the Govern- v ;nt to stretch almost unto the eaking point their efforts to meet'c e needs of the Government for,b ese things. Nevertheless, at the o me time many of these interests' ti e being viciously assailed in a way n create a Socialistic-Anarchistic- r dshevistic spirit which, unless ecked, will ultimately bring this v iREENWOOD WOMAN I' HAS HIGH PRAISE <1 \ as So Nervous I Could Hardly i \ Stand It."

S. campaign South Carolina has o far reported pledges amounting to -5,009,000, which is oidy 18 per cent f the quota. The Pee Dee section cads the State so far with a percentage of --3 reported, the coast section s second with a percentage of .223 eported; the Piedmont section is hird with a percentage of .18; and the Central section is last with a parentage of .11. With Hamburg oversubscribing and I lorchester and Jasper Counties well! ?n toward their Quotas, the coast j lection has so far reported the best i ndividual records. A noticeable fact is that Charleson, Richland, Anderson, Greenville md Spartanburg the counties with he* largest quotas, have as yet been mable to make reports that actually efiect the progress being made in hese counties, and this fact makes he State's percentage very low. Several counties have made no reports vhatever as yet, and several have nade no new reports since their re)orts from last week, and for these easons it seems very probable that if dTorts are kept up with unabated en;rgy the State will attain its quota.
