lor discussion of excess profits taxes
Inclusion of pood will in calrulitlng cap
ital for assessing tho excesi profits tax was
proposed by Joseph h Auerbach, represent
ing tho Wnolivorth Comapny, of New Ycrk.
Chairman Simmons said good will might
be used toward artificial estimates of cap
ital and thus defeat taxation, and for that
reason, he said, Ccvrress has so far re
fused to estlmato gi"d will as a part of cor
porate capital Artificial estimates alio
could be made, he said, of the value of
trade marks.

iecurltles held by such companies abroad
nd not used In their American business
hould be exempt from the tax.

Opposing tho doubling of taxes on dis
tilled spirits, Leii Cooke, attorney for tho
National Wholesale. Liquor Dealers" Asso
ciation, predicted It would gre.itlv Increase
Illicit production, decreasing Instead of in
creasing Federal) revenues.
"It Is Impossible to collect such a heavy
tax," he said, "vvlilch represents a tax of
about 1000 per cent upon the cost of manu
facture." Some Increase In liquor taxes Is not op
posed by distillers and rectifiers, ho said,
nd suggested a ten per cent' differential
Increase or twenty cents a gallon on
' liquors manufactured before the bill Is
passed. H0 argued that would conserve
rraln supplies for food purposes, stimulate
the use of stored stocks and lncreaso
revenues.
'The liquor trade Is not opposing any In
crease, ' he said, "In fact, they advocate an
ncrease, but not such an enormous one as
Is proposed."

sugar, molasses or grain, were urged by
