To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is a most wonderful thing TO
witness the extent 10 which American Of
fcials will 20 in their levying OF taxes
of every nature and description and de-
gree OF assessment. In our national gov
erpment we have had the spectacle of ex-
travagance Haunted in our eyes by the
evidence Of overwhelming lists Of expendi-
lures, and we have been told that tho
tariff must be made TO provide additional
revenue or that taxes must be Increased
or that we must face a great dchcit IN
our national treasury.
The sovereign states have been squao-
bling over tho possibility OF taxing the
chief products Of their adjacent sisters
that are sent over the state lines for con-
sumption as q means Of raising suf1cieht
revenue 10 sdministrate properly their own
state government. or else they have con
ceived the ingenious idea OF taxing the
producers OF certain specialties within
their own state. Vermont offers to tax
her Christmas trees. Why not have New
Jersey place n tax on her special straw
berry products in the summer?
In one single instsnce--that Of GER
tain Western railroad and its property
the taxes for the year 1910 Increased
more than sl,OOo,ooo. or exactly az per
cent over what they had previously
amounted TO, They are talking OF fur
Their increasing these taxes for 1911. There
are being proposed. all over this wildly pro-
gressive country, taxes upon everything
one can think of. because Of the said ne
cessity Of obtaining more and more money
TO administrate properly the affairs OF the
| individual states and the national govern
ment Where shall this plague Of taxes
| stop?
The figures of the taxable value OF the
property in New York City alone are given
az $4,000, 100000. This is an increase
Of sss7,04S.6 .6S3. and It is equal TO the COM
bined wealth OF seventeen Middle West ano
Western States. Such true state OF

Sir: | wish every person who reads this
would for an instant. suppose himself a

gate the Recovered streets without proper
shoes TO afford a foothold. Suppose also
that you had not only an inexperienced but

wintry blasts. without covering, while he
drank with the money received from pawn

you fell he kicked and beat you. expecting

These figures give a remarkable insight
into our national progress, and the won
derful expenditures, with their relative in
creases, should cause us as prudent men
and women to consider calling a halt upon
the same, so that there shall be a greater

the hardest hit in the ultimate analysis
of all government costs. Let us take TO
ourselves the words of Mr. Brandeis, and
use all our efforts, for the next few years
at least, 10 the elimination OF unresson-
able expenditures, the abolition Of useless
and unnecessary offices and officials, and
let us give the scientific management plan

Let us profit by the spectacle of the
