This of course meant the naming of an extremely high price, and I take copper only as an example, the rule working the same way in every other commodity, Fixing a price to bring in the laat necessary pound of production, of course, resulted in enormous profits to the low cost producer. It was to meet this situation that the ‘excess profits tax was devised to pay for an entire requirement, a price that would produce the highest cost part and then to tax back tato the treasury through the gxcess profits tax the very great profits which would run to the low cost producers, “In theory this meant that much | money on price fixing went out of the treasury and came back in again to be used over and ov “However sound this may have been in war time, it was pre- mised solely and wholly upon a governmental fixing of “pric he Goverment is no longer i it, + it is difficult and expensive of col PRE-| lection; it breeds extravagance and waste on the part of busine: and a neediess, inexcusable burden upon every consum: whether he be doctor, lawyer, banker, skilled mechanic, farmer or what not aatiiinsienenses Kew Ins : Colver said to The Eve- | | ' U.

Justice Cropsey holds that the city has no right to operate bus lines and intimates further that the city would have no such right even if there were no complaint of unfair competition. The claim of the city authorities that the installation of the bus lines | was justified, regardless of specific statutes, on the ground of “existing emergency,” and for “the convent- ence, comfort, health and happiness” of the inhabitants of Brooklyn, is set tinues: wn “The complaint that the defendant is operating the bus line is true in the sense that acting under the reso- tutions of the Board of Estimate he (Grover Whalen, Commissioner of Plants and Structures) made arran; ments for their operation and in some respects in supervising It. But it is shown that the operation is not their profit. | “The bus owners pay nothing to | the city for their franchise or right to operate over the streets nor for the wear and tear thereof, nor for the use of the squates and public places reserved as their stations and termi- nala. The men who operate the buses are not, city employees. They aré either owners of the buses or the em- ployees of the owners, Not only does the city derive no benefit from their joperation, but it is actually expend- \ing large sums of money in connec- tion therewith: “These bus owners are permitted ®y the defendant to run their cars and the defendant attempts to regu- late to some ektent thir operation.
