upon corporations and businesses.
This might look to some like an
easy way to shift toe tax load onto
somebody else. Actually, a tax that
Is shouldered by business is still
borne by the people—because peo-
ple buy the products of corporations
that are owned by people..
Don’t Kill Incentive
At present the nation's business
'corporations pay a 38 per cent tax
on income. Earnings distributed to
owners may get taxed up to 92 per
cent. (Other taxes, also, are levied
upon corporations.) Tremendous
sums, therefore, are handed to Un-
de Sam by industry. But right
now, the nation’s economists are
agreed that America’s industry
must have huge amounts of addi-
tional capital for growth and for
Thera’s danger, if in-
stead these billions must be poured
Into WaahbMton.
Any industrial plant that is not
able to spend money continually for
expansion or for newer, better
equipment Is t corporation moving
toward failure. An amount rough-
ly equal to the President’s proposed
budget of HI billion is tbs teas, we

PARIS.—Dead men have no
homes, as Roger Demont, 35,
discovered when he opened toe
door of his home in Saint-Pla-
card, southern France.
There was his wife, Juliette,
wnom he had not seen for seven
years. She stared at him,
shock 'd. “Oh. it’s you. is it?”
“Yes, I’m here,” he replied.
But Juliette shock her head.
“You are dead • — there is no
place for you here; you cannot
come back.” Roger kissed his
little daughter, now 8, and sadly
went away. •
A French soldier taken prison-
er in wartime, Demont escaped,
came home, committed a theft,
spent six months in jail, was
forced to go to Germany to work,
ended up in Russia, and was
not beard from alter July, 1944.
He was declared legally dead.
Recently, his wife became en-
gaged to another man.
