Editor Statesman: , ' ""nv
I have read your editorial in today's Statesman on "Get
ting Down to Business ;" but in view of the reputed fact that
about. 93! of the tax collected are for wars, past, present
and future. I am unable to follow your reasoning.
Perhaps, your statement that the taxes "required to be
raised from internal revenue could be cut in half may be
correct; but, if you will show in what way this can be done
until the expense incident to war has been materially re
duced, I shall appreciate such a showing very much indeed.
Very sincerely yours,
A. SLAUGHTER.
Salem, Ore.1, July 12, .1921.
; The opening, paragraph of the editorial referred to by
Dr. Slaughter was as follows:
. "If all the money owed the United States
y- " Treasury by foreign governments were to be paid,
about 42 per cent of our entire national debt would
. : be wiped out, and the amount of revenue required
to be raised from) internal taxation could be cut in
. 4. half. The total foreign debt is $10,140,000,000, all
.but about $700,000,000 of which represents money
loaned direct from our treasury.
J'After that followed a statement of the manner in which
it Is proposed to fund these debts; making definite dates, for
their final payment; definite interest rates and when the in
terest payments shall' be expected, etc.
; That .was all
" It was not a matter of reasoning
It was merely a statement of facts
. And no one can deny that if all the money owed the
United States Treasury by foreign governments were to be
paid, 42 per cent of our entire national debt would be wiped
out
For that i a matter of definite figures
' Nor can any one deny that if all this money were paid,
tur, internal revenue taxes might be cut in half; for that is
Also capable of being demonstrated by plain figures.
Then what is Dr. Slaughter trvincr to dismite?
possibly he did not read the article carefully. Possibly
ne assumed that the writer of the article he refers to was
attempting to show that the internal revenue taxes of the
United States might be cut in half without any of the debts
of foreign governments to our government being paid, or
any of the .interest on those debts
And that is an entirely different matter, and there was
no such statement, or even intimation, in the article men
tioned, r
? But the writer, in order to make a real argument and
lino of reasoning for Dr. Slaughter, will say that he believes
the internal revenue taxes of the United States can be cut
in half,, without a cent of either principal or interest being
received from the foreign governments on their debts
Admitting the fact mentioned by Dr. Slaughter tha
about 93 of all the expenditures of the United States gov
emment' are on account of past wars and preparation for
future wars.
' Here are the ways:
?! Collect three or four times aa much money at our custom
'houses. - '
Cut off at least 100,000 useless government employees.
Organize every department of the govemmnt on an ef
ficiency. Basis, just as a private corporation would do would
have to do or go broke. .
' j Reduce army and navy expenditures to such a minimum
as would allow efficiency only in training of the citizenship;
something after the Swiss system.
, j Make the new budget system function.
m That would allow the internal revenue taxes to be cut in
half; and if besides all the debts of foreign countries were
paid, it would allow all internal revenue taxes to be cut out,
with the possible exception of duties on a few luxuries, such
as were imposed before the adoption in 1913 of the Sixteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the. United States, allow
ing income taxes tojbe assessed. The writer believes the
time ought to come when federal income taxes may be done
away with, and such'taxation left to the states. Our gov
ernment got along for 137 years without federal income
taxes, and has had their! only eight years.
Vienna audiences, we are told,
have recently developed a most
embarrassing habit in the mat
ter of encores. If an artist re
fuses to give a second or third
encore they pelt the stage with
orange peel or any other con
venient missile and generally
raise Cain in th'-ir riotous pro
tests. Which dubious behavior has
naturally given rise to the de
bate as to whether an artist
should give more value than 'he
is paid for, whether an audience
has the right to demand more
than their money's worth.
Mark Harabourg, the famous pi
anist;, naturally considers it
Lould be up to the artist, that
his mood and wishes should de
corously settle it. Other artists.
however, felt that, since ap
plause is the very breath of their
life, it is in itself prepayment for
the encore, and, no matter how
they feel. It is their duty to dis
charge the debt.
It Is a nice point. "To encore
or not to encore, that is the ques-
ion, whether it is nobler in the
mind to bear the slings and ar-
ows of outrageous orange peel
Or, by opposing, suffer them," as
it were. When one considers that
the artistic temperament is viol
ently involved in the argument,
that only the established famous
can really afford to be capricious
in the matter, that the lesser as
piring artists yearn but to suffer
gladly any poignancy entailed by
superencores, we can readily re
alize that Vienna s bad manners
has started an emotional contro
versy fraught with wounded dig
nity, smoldering fury, haughty
suffering and violent anguish.
