~ ECRETAltN of the Treasury GAG
in his annual report to Congress,
~ recommends the repeal of the
miscellaneous war taxes. and the
taxpayers of the Nation applaud his
recommendation.
The items on which the Secretary
urges the abolition of taxes. produce an
nually about twcnty-Sevrn millions. and
do not includ" the duty Of ten cents per
pound on tea. and the increased tax ON
fermcntcd liquors ana tobacco.
They are, as the Secretary correctly
says, lin their nature vrXHtions. in some
instances oppressive and separately con
sidcrcd yield but small revenue" There
fore. these taxes should by I'll means be
repealed forthwith The surplus will be
reduced somewhat. The taxpayers will
use this $21.5OO.Ou to better advantage
than Congress will.
OF other war taxes that on tea brings
in &I.uUO.uOO II year. That on mixed
flour. which was designed for regulation
rather than for revenue. produces only u
few thousand dollars. Ii will not he diff
cult fort Congress to find taxes which can
be sealed down to such IN extent ~ To
make the remaining &22.5Oo.00U which
the Secretary of the Treasury thinks the
Government can safely get along with
out. The dangers Of Il surplus have bron
forcibIy stated by Speaker Henderson,
safclr disregard his warnio@. Hy letting
the taxpayers have this $1o.DDD001
which the Government docs not n"rt
and which they do. Congress will cara
their thanks and will not ba exposed to-
the temptations of SO great 81 surplus.
