COUNTRY-WIDE VOTE OPPOSES TAX ON PROFITS Results of National Chamber of Commerce Referendum Announced. T' SPLIT ON SUBSTITUTES An overwhelming demand from American business for repeal of tbe excess profits tax is shown in a referendum vote of tbe organizations within the membership of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The results were made public today through the Indianapolis Board of Trade. The ballot was taken on a report of the national chamber's committee on taxation, which advanced fifteen proposals oTor changes In present methods of Federal tax levy. Although the committee recommended substitutes for the excess profits tax, the vote was not conclusive. A considerable majority voted against an increase in Income taxes and ut the same time there was a majority vote against any form of sales tax, which had been suggested both as a substitute for and as an addition to other forms of tax. A proposal that excise taxes be levied partly to take the place of the excess profits tax was carried. PROPOSITIONS AND VOTES.

Net losses and inventory losseß In any taxable year should cause redetermination of taxes on income of the preceding year. For, 1.350. Against, 323. Carried. 14. Ascertainment by the Government of any tax based on Income should precede payment. For, 1,215. Against, 479. Carried. 15. Administration of Income taxation •hould be decentralized. For, 1,321. Against, 390. Carried. AGREE THAT TAX HAMPERS BUSINESS. The vote makes It clear that business men are united In their view that the excess profits tax hampers business operations and retards the progress of readjustment. Among the objections to the tax as pointed out by the committee are that it produces Inequities; that it is difficult of administration; that price re4 actions will decrease revenues from this Mirce, and that the tax encourages extravagance. A striking reaction was shown in the vote against Increasing Income taxes. It vai obvious to the voters that such increases would fall on the middle class of Incomes, since little more can be derived from smaller Incomes and because taxes already are so high on the larger Incomes that those receiving large Incomes are Investing in tax free securities and thus defeating the purpose of the tax.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1921.

Mr. Howe ‘Sells’ on Willingness to Take Orders Purpose of Meeting to Satisfy *Practical Politicians’ Disclosed. Republican ward chairmen who attended the little “at home’’ party given last Thursday night by Claris Adams, former prosecuting attorney, at his Irvington residence, with Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, now News-Jewett candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, as the guest of honor, have disclosed that the gathering was for the purpose of giving Mr. Howe an opportunity to “sell himself’’ to the ward leaders. Few If any of the practical politicians who carry out the orders of the News-Jewett-Lemoke-Roemler combination had ever even seen Professor Howe, much less talked with him. Since there is so much dissatisfaction In the rauks of the Republican workers with the selection of Mr. Howe as the “organization” candidate the leaders felt it was necessary that they “sell” Mr. Howe to them, It Is said The fact that Mr. Howe convinced the crew of practical politicians he was “their kind of a man,” has caused considerable surprise among those people who have held Professor Howe In high esteem ns being a gentleman of the strictest honor and Ideals. STAND AGAINST SHADY DEALS EXPECTED. Before the meeting there wus a general Impression among ward chairmen, one of them said today, that Howe would never take with the woTkerß down in the “organization” ranks because it wus felt so generally that he would be an advocate of the strictest enforcement of law nnd order and that he would not permit many of the more or less shady political moves which have been) made in caeca of emergency heretofore. It was thought, the ward chairman said, that Mr. Howe, having been the head of a church college, would never swerve from his principles sufficiently to permit the operation of “practical politics.’’ What Professor Rowe told the chairman no ohe outside the ranks of the organization has been able to find out, but the ward workers were convinced Mr. Howe Is “their kind of a man” and they will have no trouble with him If the? go right ahead In the usual manner. This came as a shock to many people, who have thought of Mr. Howo as a man of principles higher than those of a mere politician and of too sterling character to surrender his beliefs for the sake of political expediency. It led to the reiteration of the statement that the candidacy of Mr. Howe Is only another example of a fine citizen being backed by men whose past records and present standards are Infinitely beneath his own. Friends of Mr. Howe had hoped that he wouid tie able to raise the crowd up .to his level, but were dubious about whether It could be done.
