In ills, u -lug the House bill, two
problems arise:
I. How much should be raised by

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

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.

Than are tWO eftreme theories, each
of which may be dismissed with scant
courtesy The one Is that all war ex

ami the other Is that all war expcndl.

Kadi theory is untenable.
It Is Indeed true that the burdens of
the war should be borne by the praj

but this does not mean that they slu.T,

In Ihe second place, when expcndl

surplus of social Income Were this
absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav

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
