...thesis receives indirect support from Professor W. Y. Elliott's article on the fugitive poets which describes Professor Elliott's personal acquaintanceships with many of these literary figures in the charming manner familiar to many who have heard him lecture.

The trouble comes largely from two other factors, according to the Commerce Department's statistics. One is that indirect business taxes, particularly property taxes, have increased from 8.9% of the value of corporate production in 1948 to 10.5% now. More important, the amount of their gross income that U.S. corporations allocate to depreciation costs on plant and equipment has risen from 5.5% of the value of production...
