WILSON'S DEFICIT MAKER.


A great ado was recently IN ,ds hy
the revenue spoiiators because Of the
alleged increase Of taxation upon
whiskey and spirits in bond contem-
plated in the Wilson bill. Tue fact has
now come out that instead Of lncreGs.
ing this tax the Hill really reduces it
amazingly, and, either stupidity or de.
liberately. opens the door to an aadi-
tional deficiency in our annual revenues
certain to be rs much as SIS $50 OOJ,
and posSiblyas high rs Sis, ,jO. O00
A Washington correspondent of the
New York san credits the following
explanation to Frank y Flower, of
Superior Wis. and it is too clearly i'm
portant not TO be- given in detail:
Hitherto the tax on whisksy has boon
80 cents gallon measured at the time
it is stored; and the period during
which it could remain IN bond, tax un.
paid. has been five years. BY the vii.
son bill, the tax has been raised nomin.
ally to 81 "a gallon, the bonded period
extended to eight years; AMI the
amount Of shrinklge in bull, has been
fixed at from gallons in 40 for two
months bonding, to ~ gallons in ~
for seventy two months. Thus. under
the present law, "A 10 gallon cask of
whiskey must pay tax OF $36. Under
the Wilson bill. at the end of
six years, the tax Of 81 a gallon is
to be paid not on 40 gallons, but
on 9St gallons The tax will thus
amount to $9S 30 Instead of S3G and
make comparative loss of $50 on
each 10 gallon cask As the whiskey
withdrawn each year amounts to
5000 casks, the net loss will b.
SIS. 100000 year. Moreover, whisksy
now in bond can under the new law,
remain in bond from three to five years
longer without paying taxes, and so, in
order to secure the full benefit OF thl
shrinkage of III gallons per cask it
would not surprise any body to see all
the whiskey now in store held three
years more and all receipts, practically,
from the whiskey tax thus suspended,
making further deficiency of nearly
500, 00O 900 per year for three years.
If to the S7j 900, 600 annual deficiency
created in Wilson's bill without refer
ence to this astounding gap in the in.
ternal revenues we add the maximum
amount Of decrease explained above, or
Sis. $50 900. the Democratic party will
stand committed to a measure which,
in time of national depression; treas.
ury emptiness and forced federal loans,
proposes deliberately to knock off $l93
600, 900 from the governments annual
receipts under the Mckinley tariff, or
almost half the running expenses Of the
government, including pensions. And
the only straw with which it proposes
to stem this fearful tid9 of indebted
ness is the revived war exigency Of a
tax on incomes, at a time when even
those incomes are threatened, if not
directly interrupted, by the colossal
folly OF the party's tariff schedules.

The OBJECTION made by those dis
posed to murmur at any proposition to
incur new municipal indebtedness for
public improvement is that taxes in
Scranton are already too high. 1t will
be remembered that last summer THE
TRIBUNE printed Il comparative table
showing that of all the leading Penn
sylvania cities. Scranton, taking all
things into proper account. had the
lowest rate Of municipal taxation.
There Is only one fair way to make com
parisons and that is to reduce the
various appraSemonts to common
level before computing the per centag0
collected as tax On tho basis Of full
valuation. Scrantons per centage, foc
municipal purposes. was the lowest in
the list, excepting possibly one or two
much smaller communities lacking
many Of our facilities. To say that we
have reached tho limit of our tax bear
ing ability when improvements are
genuinely needed ia to exhibit Scran-
ton in II parsimonious aud unenyiabIc
light before the general public. which
