Morgan Concern Made Millions During Depression Years 30 31
Morgan and Company reported to senate investigators that in 1930 and 1931 the firm earned nearly ten million dollars from sale and underwriting of securities while US income tax paid by the bank’s 20 partners totaled only 48 thousand dollars. The figures, discussed during banking committee hearings, suggest large capital loss deductions reduced taxable income. The three-year totals for Morgan and its Philadelphia affiliate Drexel and Company show 1929 nine to eleven million in taxes, with 1929 totals of 2 936 000, 1930 6 730 000, and 1931 3 131 000.
