A Constructive Criticism on the House Revenue Bill. LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxee at the Outset of War Are Disadvantage ous—Groat Britain Example Worthy of Emulation—Ho* the Taxes Should Be Apportioned. By EDWIN R A. SELIGMAN, MeVickar Professor of Political Econ omy, Columbia University. On May 23. 1917, the House of Rep resentatives passed un a< t "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill as presented by the Committee of Ways and Means, the additional reve nue to be derived was estimated at i1 810,420,<M>0. The amendment. . ’ come tax. which a " bin during .»eked on to the w_ ..e dlsi u -slon in the House. .... expected to yield another $40.Utk). ooo or |50,000,0tk). In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: I. How mm h should l>e raised by taxation? II. In what manner should this sum be raised? I. How Much Should Bo Taxation? Raised by How was the figure of $1.800.000,000 arri' cd at ? The answ. r Is simple. When the Secretary of the Treasury i ame to estimate the additional war expenses for tlie year 1917 IS. he calculated that they would amount to some $6.000.- 000,000, of which $3.000.000.000 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3.fltX).- OOO.ooo was to lie utilized for the do mestic purposes Thinking that It would lie a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and taxes, be concluded that the amount to I m » raised by taxes was »1.800.000,- 000. There nre two extreme theories, each of which may lie dismissed with scaut courtesy. The one Is that all war c£ pendltures should be defrayed by loans, and the other is that all war expendi tures should be defrayed by taxes Each theory is untenable. It is Indeed trite tliat ttio tmrdens of the wnr sbollili bo berne by thè pres- ent rstlier tban thè future generation; but this does net uiean tliat they «houli! he borne by this year's taxation Meeting nil w sr expenses by taxation makes the taxpayers In one or two rears l»ear the burden of benefits that ought to be distributed nt least over a decade within ttie 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 totsl surplus of social income -Were tills absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav oc In the economic lifeof the communi ty would have to be endured But where the disasters nre so great and nt the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared Im I ractlcable Secretary McAdoo had the right in stinet nnd highly commendable cour age in deciding that a substantial por tion. at least, of the revenues should he derived from taxation Rut when he hit upon the plan of 50-50 fier cent., that Is. of raising one half of all do- mestic war expendltures 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 largì1 ex- tent on loans at the outset of a war is a mistake. Disadvantage* of Excessive Taxa* The disadvantages of excessive taxes at the outset of the war are as follows 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resentment 2. Excessive taxes on Industry will disarrange business, damp enthusiasm and restrict the spirit of enterprise nt the very time when the opposite I’ needed. 3. Excessive taxes on In oniesw 111 de plete the surplus available for Invest merits and Interfere with the plai ;ng of the enormous loans which will be ne es sary in any event. 4 Excessive taxes on wealth will ause a serious diminution of the In comes which are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educa tional aud philanthropic enterprises Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would be greatest. 5. Excessive taxation at the auteet of the war will reduce the elasticity avail able for the Increasing demand* that ar* aeon to come. Groat Britain'« Policy. Take Great Britain as an example During the first year of the war she increased taxes only slightly, in order to keep Industrie« goii'g at top notch During tbe second year she raised by new taxes only 9 per rent of her war expenditure* During the third year she levied by additional tate* Ivrrr and «hove the prewar level» only «lightly more than 17 per 'ent of her war expenses. If we should attempt to do ns mi' •> in tbe first year of the war as Great Britain did tn the third year it would •uffli e to raise by taxation »1.250,000. oon. If, in order to tie absolutely on tbe safe aide. It »eemed advisable to In1 rea-e the sum to »1,500.000.000, tbi" «hoiiid, in our opinion, be tbe mad mum In considering tbe apportionment of the extraordinary burvieu of taxes in war times evrtalu scientific principle« are definitely established ♦ I How Tax«* Should Ba Apportioned. (I1 The burden of taxes must be spread as far as possible over the whole commuuity so as to cause each individual to share in tbe sacrifice« ac cording to his ability to pay and ac cording to bis share in the Government. (2) Taxes on consumption, which are ueeeaaarily borne by the community at large, should he imposed us far ua pos sible on articles of quasi luxury rather than on those of necessity. <3» Excises should be iuiposevl as far as possible upon commodities in the Lauds of the tiual consumer rather than upon the articles which serve pri marily as raw material for further production. (4) Taxes upon buainsM should be imposed as far as possible ujion net earnings rather thau u|H>n gross re- eeipts or capital invested. (5> Taxes upon income which will uecessarily be severe should be both differentiated and graduated. That Vu there should be a distinction ’ etween earned nml imeHrncd iuc<»’7,e8 anj there should be a higher ;a„. u|lon the larger income,, jt »s however, not ,o Ul* ■ the income rate so excessive as to lead to evasion, administrative dittb ullles, or to the more fundamental objections which have been urged above (6l The excess profits which are duo to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable sour< e of revenue dur» Ing war times. But the principle upon which these war-profit taxes are Ink! must be equitable In theory and easily alcnlnblo in practice.

Sanilo. Britain increased her Income tax to the z maximum of 31 per cent., and that even now in tbe fourth year of the war tlie Income tax does not ex' eed 42S per cent. It could easily be shown that a tax with rates on moderate Incomes sub stantiallv less than In Great Britain and on the larger Incomes about aa high, would yield only sli htly less than the $532.000.(11X1 originally estimated In the House bill. It is to be hoped Unit the Fenate will reduce the total rate on the highest in and make it do the work comes to 31 per cent, or nt most to 40 of an auto truck per < ent, and that at the same time it will reduce I lie rate on the smaller Us comes derived from personal or profes slonal eat ilings. Hook This Onto If the war continues we shall have to depend more and more upon the in come tax. By imposing excessive rate« now we are not only endangering the future, but are inviting all manner of difficulties which evan Great Britain has been able to escape. Conclusion. The House bill contains other fund« mental defects which may be summed up as follows: <1> It pursues an erroneous principle In Imposing retroactive taxes. (2) It selects an unjust and unwork able criterion for the excess profits tax (3) It proceeds to an unheard of height in the income tax. (4) It Itnpe ses unwarranted burdens upon Ilio consumption of tlie commit- nity. (5) It Is calculated to throw business into confusion by levying taxes on gross receipts Instead of tt|H>n commodities, (61 It falls to make a proper use of stamp taxes. R.VRtpm (7) It follows mi un»< In Its flat rate on Imports. (Si It Includes n multiplicity of pet tynrnl unlucrativc taxes, the vexatious ness of which is out of all proportion to the revenue they produce. • •••••• Tbe fundamental lines on which the House bill should lie modified are film med up hor< w Ith ■ (1) The amount of new taxation should be limited to »l.25O,0f)O.00O—or at tbe outset to ,1.500.« kt. 000 To do more tban I bls would lie ns unwise •* It is nnneeee ary To do even ttila would lie to do more than has ever teen done by any civilized Govern ment in time of stress. (2) The excesa-proftts tax based upon a sound system ought to yield «Inuit $500,000,(100. (3i Tbe Income tax schedule ought to tie revised with a lowering of the rates on earned tn>omes below $10.000, and with an analogous lowering of th« rates on the higher incomes, so as not to exceed 31 per cent A careful cal culation shows that an Imome tax of ♦ his kind would yield some $450.000,- '>oo addlt'onal. <4l The tax on whisky and tobacco ought to remain approximately as It la. With a yield of about »230.00tl.000. These three taxes, together with th« stamp tax at even tbe low rate of th« House Idll. and with an improved un- tomoiiiie tax. will yield over $1.250,- (100,000, which la the amount of money thought desirable Tbe above grogram would be In har mony with an approved scientific sys tem It will do away with almost al) of the complaints that are being urged against the present.
