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.

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

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

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

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

'KOGRESS OF WAR SAVINGS
STAMP SALE CAMPAIGN
Charleston, June 20.?Out of a
luota of $20,000,000 for the June
V, S. 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.
