Buckingham, n lawyer and tax expert of Chicago, In nn address In the Hellcviie-Stratford before members of tho Chamber of Commerce. After a review of what he termed "glaring defects" in tho methods of Imposing and collecting taxes, Mr. Buckingham mado these five recom mendations J Abandon "Invested capital" ns a basis of tax computation. So far ns there Is n levy on corporate profits, mnltc it a flat levy on nctunl profits. Decentralize the system. Make tho assessment locally. I'ix nnd determine the assessment before the tnx Is paid. ' Make the assessment final, in the nbsenco of fraud. Make nil levies uniform In rate and application, ns far as possible, and make as few exceptions and exemptions as possible. Rulings Weary Brain Billings by government officials on what constitutes "Invested capital," Mr. Buckingham declared, aro enough to cause attacks of brain-fag and headache In every business center in the country. "Tlie law nnd regulations havo so defined 'invested capital,' " ho declared, "that no accountant would recognize it ns such if he met it at high noon in the middle of the road, "The thing which masquerades at Washington ns 'invested capital' -bears little resemblance to Its namesake nt the bank or tho factory. It is fair to estimate that more than one-half of the time nnd energy of administra tion is consumed In the hopeless tnsk of ascertaining this so-called 'invested cap ital.' " Dignified business men chuckled and smiled as Hr. Buckingham told of a "night school" tho commissioner of in ternal revenuo has established to teach "law nnd accounting" to young clerks, so they could grapple with the involved tax laws. Exponents of direct taxes were in 1'owcr in tins country, mc spcaKer con tinned, when the war came with Its heavy burden of debt. The results were income taxes, excess profits taxes nnd other methods which dug directly Into tlie pockets of taxpayers. Would Tax Soft Drlnlis Some of Mr. Buckingham's sugges tions may arouse the ire of men who t.se pipe, cigar or cigarette or of the girl who looks on chocolate ice cream soda as "simply heavenly." The tax expert said nn Increase in the excise tax on tobacco would bcr Imps add .$300,000,000 to tho nation's revenue. Another big revenue producer, ho snid, would be n heavy luxury tnx on soft drinks. Mr. Buckingham's auditors smiled when he further suggested u heavier tax on alcoholic liquors, but the smiles faded when he ndded "used for those purposes which are still legitimate." At tho beginning of his address Mr. Buckingham spoke on figures which n generation ago would have staggered taxpayers by their immensity. lie men tioned casually that the nation's out standing obligations total twenty-four billions of dollars. In four years of war and reconstruction, lie said, t.ix paers have paid 45 per cent of the war cost. Mr. Buckingham commended the army reorganization plan, and pointed out the economic advantages that would rcnull from n "navul holiday," such as has been proposed by the United States, Great Britain and Japan. He was merciless in his criticism of America's civil budect. Tho covern- ment lias grown too paternal," he de (la.e.l. Expenses of tho civil service could bo cut in two. he sold, if tho gov ernment departments were placed on n business basis. Discussing the excess profits tax which many business interests wish repealed, the speaker said it puts a premium on extravagant management. "In its effe.'t on business manage ment," he stated, "it Is demoralizing beyond nny other economic factor." Mr. Biicklnshatn sketched n graphic verbal picture of the thousands of clerks nt Washington employed in milling over tax returns. Despite the hize of the clerical army, he said, it is four years behind its work.

MUST PROVE RISE TRAFFIC Commissioner Demands Com pany Back Claim 7-Cent Faro Caused Fewer Riders JOLT IN VALUATION HEARING The Philadelphia Itnpid Transit Co. must prove that tho increase in fare which went into effect on last November 1 was responsible for a decretive in patronanc in November and December. A request for such proof wan made today by Public Service Commissioner Clement, who is presiding nt n hearing on the valuation of the company's ny.s tcm. The hearing is being held in Council's finance chamber. City Hall. This action by the commissioner came as nn evident surprise to counsel for the company, who were under the im pression that the hearing was to con cern only n valuation of the system. Hearing on the valuation btarted yes terday when it wan hhown thruugh figures submitted by the company thnt it had carried Jt.fiOO.OOO fewer pas senzers in Deecmher. ltlUH. tlmn in l.n hrfme month of 1010. This result bore out the contention of Thomas K. Mit ten, president of the I. It. T., who said that the increase in fare from five to Bcvcn cents would mean n big loss of patronage. While James A. Patterson, n real estate expert, was testifying today re garding the value of property owned bv the company nlong its lines, Coininis siotier Clement suddenly made the re quest for traffic figures. Mr. Clement requested Coleman Joyce, counsel for the company, to obtuin all th traffic ligures for the Jast &ix months. "The company hns asserted that it carried fewer piibsengers in No vember nnd December, 11)0, than dur ing the some months of 1010," said the commissioner, "nnd it is Important to see just when tho traffic began to fall off nnd whether the decrease startcl before November 1, when the increase in fare went into effect, or after that date." The sudden introduction of traffic figures into the valuation proceedings will prolong the henrlng for nn indefinite period, it is snl.l. The hearing on the valuation wns to give the commission n basis for recom mending n permanent fare. . FOR 1 19 YEARS Four generations ago the Crane Paper Mills were established in the Berkshire Hills. From that day to this they have made paper-nothing but paper and always the best. In all that time there has been no develop' ment, no process that was not available to them, and never either temptation or desire to make paper to meet established market price, or threat ened competition. Crane's Bond is recommended for business stationery-a paper bearing the Crane name, identified by the Crane water-mark, offering the business world the same fitness for its purpose that made Crane's Linen Lawn the stationery of the social world. 100 selected new rag stoc 119 years experience Banknotes ofzz countries Paper money 0438,000,000 people Government bonds of 18 Mdttotis c rane s BUSINESS EUROPEAN purchasing in this country slackened.
