The Honest Rich Explains Tax Avoidance Trick
Professor Collier of George Washington University explains a method to beat taxes within the law. A manufacturer with a $2,000,000 business and $200,000 net income in 1923 could face $86,000 in federal tax under the 1921 act, leaving $113,360. By borrowing on mortgages at 6 percent and reinvesting in tax exempt bonds at 4 percent, he could boost his after tax take to $130,180, saving $30,820 at the government's expense.

German Plan Aids Repair Payments In Germany
The Dawes plan is credited with stabilizing Germany’s currency and budget while enabling reparation payments. Germany’s first annuity of 1000 million gold marks was paid within a year, mostly from external loans and the railway company. The second annuity rises to 1220 million gold marks with new charges on German bonds, and ongoing cooperation eases future deliveries. Reconstruction advances despite capital needs and organizational hurdles.
