Your head requires a certain
hatyour writing a certain
pen choose the pen as you
do the hat carefully, to suit
you to last.
You .can't wear another man's hat.
Neither can you write with another man's
pen.
But there's a WATERMAN or a
HALLMARK actually made for your
very writing that fits your hand as
comfortably as an old glove that fairly
glides across the paper that is unchang
ing. And never will they scratch or sputter,
choke, or "balk" nor will it ever leak.
The ease and quickness of their self filling
operation is a great help by far the simplest
and most positive self filling device.
What a wonderful and useful gift one
of these pens would make for the soldier.

OW SHALL WE
AY FOR THE WAR?
Constructive Criticism on the
House Revenue Bill.
OANS BETTER THAN TAXES
Fiva Reasoni Why Excessive Taxes at
the Outset of War Are Disadvantage
ous Great Britain Example Worthy
of Emulation How the Taxes Should
Be Apportioned.
By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN,
McVlcUar Professor of Political Econ
omy, Columbia University.
On May 23, 1917, the House of Rep
resentatives passed an act "to provide
revenue to defray war expenses and
for other purposes." In the original
bill as presented by the Committee of
ays and Means, the additional reve
nue to be derived was estimated at $1,
810,420,000. The amendment to the in
come tax, which was tacked on to the
bill during the discussion iu the House,
was expected to yield another $40,000,-'
000 or $50,000,000.
In discussing the Bouse bill, two
problems arise:
I. How much should be raised by
taxation?
II. In what manner should this sum
raised?
How Much Should Be Raised by
Taxation?
How was the figure of $1,800,000,000
arrived at? The answer is simple. When
the Secretary of the Treasury came to
estimate the ndditionnl war expenses
for the year 1017-18, he calculated that
they would amount t some $GMKH-
000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to
be allotted to the allies, and $3,1100.-
000,000 was to be utilized for the do
mestic purposes. Thinking that it
would be a fuir- proposition to divide
this latter sum between loans and
taxes, he concluded that the amount
be raised by tuxes whs $1,800,000.-
000.
There are two extreme theories, each
of which may be dismissed with scant
courtesy. The one is Unit nil war ex
penditures should be defrayed by loans,
and the other is that all war expendi
tures should be defrayed by tuxes.
Eaeb theory Is untenable.
It is indeed true that the burdens of
the war should be borne by the pres
ent rather than the future generation:
but this does not mean that they should
be borne by this year's taxation.
Meeting all war expenses by taxation
makes the taxpayers in one or two
years bear the burden of benefits that
ought to be distributed nt leust over a
decade within the same generation.
In the second place, when expendi
tures approach the gigantic sums of
present-day warfare, the tax-only pol
icy would require more than the total
surplus of social income. Were this
absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav
oc in the economic life of the communi
ty would have to be endured. But
where the disasters are so great and
at the same time so unnecessary, the
tax-only policy may be declared Im
practicable.
Secretary McAdoo liad tlie rlgnt in
stinct and highly commendable cour
age In deciding that a substantial por
tion, at least, of the revenues slioulU
be derived from taxation. But when
he hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent.,
that Is, of raising one-half of all do
mestic war expenditures by taxes, the
question arises whether he did not go
too far.
The relative proportion of loans to
taxes ' is after all a purely business
proposition. Not to rely to a large ex
tent on loans at the outset of a war Is
mistake.
Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes.
The disadvantages of excessive taxes
at the outset of the war are as follows :
. Excessive taxes on consumption
will cause popular resentment.
2. Excessive taxes on Industry will
disarrange business, damp enthusiasm
and restrict the spirit of enterprise at
the very time when the opposite Is
needed.
3. Excessive taxes on Incomes will de
plete the surplus available for Invest
ments and Interfere with the placing or
the enormous loans which will he neces
sary In any event.
4. Excessive taxes on weulth will
cause a serious diminution of the In
comes which are ut present largely
drawn upon for the support of educa
tional and philanthropic enterprises.
Moreover, these iources of support
would be dried up precisely at the time
when the need would be greatest,
S. Excessive taxation at the outset of
the war will reduce the elasticity avail
able for the increasing demands that
are soon to come.
Great Britain's Policy.
Take Great Britain as an example,
During the first year of the war she
Increased taxes only Bllghtly. in order
to keep Industries going nt top notch.
During the second year she rnlsed by
new taxes only 9 per cent, of tier war
expenditures. During the third year
she levied by additional taxes (over
and above the pre-war level) only
slightly more than 1" per cent, of her
war expenses.
If we should attempt to do as much
In the first year of the war us Great
Britain did In tho third year it would
suffice to raise by taxation $1.2oO,000,
000. If, in order to be absolutely on
the safe side, it seemed advisable to
Increase tho sum to $1,500,000,000, this
should, in our opinion, be the maxh
mum.
