5000 RECOMMENDATIONS

Attic technically exoneratsd by the
committee report, Mr.. Ballinger must
have realized that he was not entirely
exculpated at the bar OF public opin-
ion The announcement Of his vindica-
ton failed to arouse the widespread
enthusiasm that his friends may have
expected. It will be recalled that dur
ing the presidents stay at Beverly last
summer and fall there were frequent
-umors that he had decided to heed
his close advisers and ask for Mr.
Bailinger's resignation. but all such re-
ports were quickly denied Now we
learn from the presidents letter to the
secretary that Mr.. Taft evidently re-
fused to let Mr.. Ballinger resign until
after the committee had reported. And
when Mr.. Rallinser's resignation was
rendered nearly two months ago, 1t
was Withdrawn at the presidents re-
quest until after the adjournment OF
congress last week; then second for
nal letter was forwarded yesterday to
the White House.
From the incipiency Of this cortro-
versy, Involving the department OF the
interior and the forest service with
reference to the conservation OF valu-
able public lands, there has been Ia
rentab,e confusion in regard to the
actual facts. The uncertainty was In
tensified rather than dispelled by the
exhaustive congressional committee In
veetigation which brought forth mass

and here and there bit OF real tnfof-

alone i. seems, could hardly have fail
ed to appeal TO an astute public of

MONEYS AND CREDITS.


The program at Des Mo:nes seems to
he 10 follow the repeal o! the tax ferre'
law by adopting bill imposing a e .
tax OF mills on moneys and credits.
The imposition Of this millage tax is
justified on the ground that it would
reduce the tax on moneys and credits
to about the level Of the tax now paid
on the actual value Of real estate. The
change would be an Improvement over
the present impossible arrangement
which makes the tax burden on mon
eys and credits three or four times as
heavy as on real estate. But IL would
not offer the right solution of the mon
eys and credits problem. The right So
luton Is the exemption of money from
any tax. Money Is the instrument by
which business is transacted. Any tax
upon this instrument tends to drive 1t
to some field whore It can work un-
hampe.ed. A small tax will be. better
than a large tax. but TO tax at all
would be still better. The exemption
Of Nancy from taxation would be a,
greater favor to the borrower than to
the lender. II the tax IL paid as things
are now. the borrower pays It. If the
tax is not paid II IL money saved for
the lender for he lends his money on
the theory that the tax may have TO be
paid. and he charges the borrower for
the risk taken. Tax free money would
mean more money o'cotnpete for the
borrowers business. and this must
mean cheaper money for the borrow
ers. Aside from the merits Of the case
the fact remains that a small tax would
oe lodged in many instances-not SO
,ften as larger tax. but often enough
20 cause many OF the complications we
now have. II the purpose Of the legis-
iature in retaining any tax on moneys
ana credits !s IN hold the revenue we
now receive from that source. the rev.
enue deficit can be made up in simp-
Ter and better way. registration tax
on mortgages is a tax that can not be
evaded. A 5-mill registration tax i'm
posed on the face value Of mortgages
would raise more revenue than IL now
raised by the tax on moneys and
credits-more probably than would be
raised under the proposed nat tax.
