SELIQMAN, McVlckar I'rofossoi of I'nllileiii Bonn. oinv. ( ' ilumbla rnlv-erxlty. On .May z;. IblT, the House of Ran reeentatlvea passed an mi "to provide revenue lo ilefiay war espenae and for other pinpo.es" In the oilglnal lull as presented by the I'ommlll t Ways and Mentis, Ihe inldll lonal reve UUa lo bo derived was eslllintled at !fl. sio.i.'iMNHi. 'rim amendment to tho In come tax, which wns Incited on to the bill during the discussion lu the House. was expected to yield another Htl.imo, oimi ui- J.Ml.(l(HI,(HHI. In ills, u -lug the House bill, two problems arise: I. How much should be raised by taxation? II. In what manlier should this sum be raised? I. How Much Should Be Raised by Taxation How was the figure of $I.KOO,iho,(xki arrived al I The answer is simple. When the Keendnry of the Treasury came to estimate the additional war expenses for the year 11)17 IN, be calculated that they would amount to wiine Ifii.lKHI, imki.ihki. of Which :l.lKM),tKHI,IMK was te oe allotted to the allies, and 'I.0(N), Ono.iWK! was to he utilized for Ihe do inestlc purposes. Thinking that It would be a fair proposition to dlvldt this latter sum between loans and taxes, lie concluded that the ainouu to he rnlsed by taxes was $i.nisi,nni. OOO. Than are tWO eftreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy The one Is that all war ex pendltures should he defrayed by loans ami the other Is that all war expcndl. turcs should lie defrayed by Uxes Kadi theory is untenable. It Is Indeed true that the burdens of the war should be borne by the praj eut rather than the future generation but this does not mean that they slu.T, DO borne by thla years taxation. Meeting nil war expense by taxaMoi makes the taxpayer In one or IWi , Tears bear the burden of benefit tha ought to be distributed at least over . facade Within tbe same generation. In Ihe second place, when expcndl tures approach the gigantic sums 01 present-day warfare, the t.ix-ony pol Icy would require more than the total surplus of social Income Were this absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav oc In tho economic life or ihecommuiil ly would have to lie endured Hut where Ihe disasters are so great and I the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may ls dc hired lin Practicable. Secretary McAdoo had the right in stlnct and highly commendable eour DEC In deciding that a substantial sir lion, at least, of the revenues should be derived from taxation Itut when he hit upon the plan of 5040 per cent., that is, of raising one half of all do mestic war expenditures by taxes, the ipiesliou arises whether he did not go loo far. The relative proportion of hums to taxes Is alter all a purely business or Oaltlon. Not to rely to a large e 'cut on loans al the outset of 11 war Is 1 mistake. Diaadvantage of Excessive Taxes.
