Plan of Excess Profit Tax Raises Debate in High Point
Parker R. Anderson explained the proposed excess profit tax to High Point corporation heads at the Commercial club. He warned watered stock and goodwill valuations could let big firms escape taxation while smaller cash-based firms bear the burden, urging equitable options and two plans to aid a national campaign against the tax. A committee—A. E. Tate, R. H. Wheeler, and J. F. Millis—was named to study proposals.
