REDUCING TAXES
Secretary of the Treasury, Mellon, declares With tax-
exempt; securities being issued at the rate ' of more than
11,000,000,000 a' year ; and with' pother ; ineahsof escaping
taxes,' the wealthy need no guardian."- ; ': , V
J ;..Thisrstatemfnt-is 1 absolutely , sound and provokes the
qu(Uon-why doesn't, the treasury department urge Cqii-
gress56 curtails the issuance of jnore tax-exempt securities
in times of p'cacdt And 'since there are other admitted means
of escaping-taxes why. are no efforts made from the same
sources to cut off these .means of escape ?
. The propositions to reduce the surtaxes twenty-five per
cent and to - repeal the inheritance tax law will reduce the
taxes of the rich greatly and the theory is. that-this money
saved will be invested In ways helpful to the wage earners
and those of moderate means. . And thii will probably hold
rue to a limited extent. It will also enable vthe very wealthy
to add very materially to their accumulations while the aver
age person with small iflcbmeywill not feel the reduction of
their taxes very perceptibly. 4 '
, For effective help to the average citizen the curtailment
of non-taxable securities is far greater than cutting of inher
itance yorlsurtaxes.'fof, inxthe former case money now
diverted intothe securities would very probably be invested
in industry which means opportunity for the small taxpayer
whose home is the principal asset upon which the local gov
ernments levy for their maintainance. The general govern
ment must still be supported chiefly from incomes on articles
