AtkiHU Government Rebate 1 f Excess is a bad thing; everybody la against it Every time the word 1st mentioned U brings up recollec tions of paying excess baggage on S, trunk, or recalls some friend ; whose doctor has warned him against excess fat or excess sugar. "Excess" always makes you think of something that's fine in modera tion but very bad, dangerous, sinful maybe, it there Is any extra. It would have been a good thing for the United States, and everybody in it, if the man who first said "e cess profit," had used a term that meant exactly something. Excess baggage is everything over, ISO pounds, of course, and doctors know precisely, what excess fat or excess sugar is when they find it, but what Is excess profit? Who knows what it isT Quite often it is the unfair use of an ugly word. Taxed at S3 Per Cent There is such a thing as excess profit without a doubt; easier to recognize than define. What the government calls excess profit how ever, may not always be too much. I think everybody has a right to know just what it is that corpora tions earn and then have to pay 85 eents out of every dollar back to the govemraent in a special tax. Consider ttis; ' The war choked out a few firms1 completely, but a majority kept go ing and soon found their sales swol len by war conditions. Costs in creased too but even so, most of them are making much bigger prof its n)iy before taxes than they did in a good average year of busi ness before the war. The 1940 tax law' calls profits "excess" if they are greater in an one year than the average annual proC : : 1830 through 1939. '" '' -Gift From ai. Along. with increased costs, born of war, many big corporations en joy economies also incidental to war. Coats can usually come down with greatly'increased volume, and many manufacturers are selling every thing they make to the government as fast as they can make it Some are relieved entirely of sales ex pense and kindred expenses like merchandising, warehousing, deteri oration, etc. Business establishments with gov ernment contracts do not offer much protest against a stiff tax on war profits. Business men are able to see sense in it They have generally given liberal discounts to big-volume buyers whose orders keep plants busy and unit costs down Govern ment is always a close buyer; price auts to government departments are certainly nothing new. -Excess Prices Next Technically, the excess profits taxes that corporations pay now are not price concessions because the rrms actually get the money and I -y H back later. It Is almost pre cisely a rebate to the government .. . . . Vk. A9. irenee is that eur'excess profits tax ia a law; War contracts are worded to! cancel themselves the day war ends, but the tax taw has to be re ptalcd by Congress or stay In force. If our 63 excess profits tax law is not amended to end with the war, American manufacturers will have ti keep on rebating the government r the government quits buying. Jog and warehousing costs , will r ' m; there will be no big-customer i to divide with anybody. It t"nufacturera pay government . f t any part of post-war profits, t ut bike prices.
