FRANKFORT ON THE MAIN,
Germany, Nov. 20.—Beating the gov
ernment out of taxes by the more or
less simple process of changing the
character of one’s business—from a'
limited liability corporation to a part
cnership and back again as tax day ap
proaches—is the latest wrinkle in tax
dodging.
One firm in Muehlheim on the Main,
the owner of which is a resident of
Frankfort, has pursued the plan so
successfully that he is alleged to have
cheated the government legally out of
between- two and three million marks
since the beginning of the war.
To prevent him from further evad
ing taxes the mayor of Muehlheim has
petitioned the Hessian legislature to
enact some emergency legislation
which shall prevent him from altering
the character of his business and es
caping once more with his war profits
intact.
The man in question owns a plant
that originally made steel screws, and
that with the beginning of the war was
commissioned by the government to
repair broken parts of guns and can
non. At the end of June, 1915, the
firm, then a corporation, had made a
net profit of three and a half million
marks.
On the basis of these profits, the
firm was assessed for a total of 337,
000 marks on its prospective business
between April 1 and March 31 1917.
To evade this payment, the proprietor
liquidated his business, had himself
appointed as receiver—and blos
somed out as a partnership. By the
time the authorities discovered this,
and also found that the old firm,
against which prospective taxes had
been assessed was no longer existent,
the profits had increased, it is esti
mated, to something like eight or ten
million marks. Now there is in pros
pect the possibility that the partner
ship will be dissolved in a timely way
so that again there will be no firm
to levy against.
In his petition to the Hessian legis
lature the mayor of Muehlheim bitter
ly condemns the practice of a success
ful business firm dodging their taxes
at a time when they are so necessary, I
and at a time when those less able to
pay are nevertheless obliged to bear
increased burdens. By a coincidence
there is no existing law to prevent the
alteration of the partnership to some
other kind of a busines. Hence the
appeal of the mayor for an emergency
law.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Mary Pickford—Drama; Charlie
Chaplin—Comedy.
“Mistress Nell,” acclaimed the
greatest success that the favorite
star, Mary Pickford, has ever ap
peared in, will be seen Tuesday and
Wednesday, December 5 and 6 at the
Empress theatre.
This celebrated romantic drama is
strong in settings and characteriza
tions, and Little Mary is captivating
in the role which “Mistress Nell” of
fers to her, and her charming per
sonality is displayed against artistic
and exceedingly interesting stage
settings with elaborate scenery. Miss
Pickford, who is unquestionably the
favorite screen star, “turned them
away” at every performance in Seat
tle at the Coliseum, in her portrayal
of “Mistress Nell.”
Captain Lathrop has the latest, best
and most laughable photo-plays of
the inimitable Charlie Chaplin, in
film creation, and, at frequent inter
vals a “Charlie Chaplin Scream” will
be presented in conjunction with oth
er plays of a more serious nature.
On same program with “Mistress
Nell," this Tuesday and Wednesday,
a Charlie Chaplin “side-splitter” en
titled “A Woman,” completes the bill, j
All Scandinavians are hereby re- j
quested to meet at Robarts’ hall at j
8 o’clock Thursday evening for the-!
purpose of establishing a Scandina
via nassociation.
When you are chilly, try a cup of
that good hot coffee with some buns
at the North Pole Bakery. ll-9tf
