The Tax and the Gag

MI. Underwood has introduced a
House resolution limiting to seven
hours the debate Of the special war
tax bill, and cutting off consideration
Of all proposed amendments. The
bill, with this proposed limitation in
its discussion, is to be called up in
the House to-day. The administra-
tion programme can be put through
over all opposition, but that fact makes
more imperative the necessity Of
placing the opposition in clear light
before the country. While the Nc
Kinley tariff was under discussion in
the House, with Thomas B. Reed as
speaker, the pith OF all Democratic
contention against any form oil cloture
was that, tariff duties being an indirect
tax upon the ultimate consumer, full
and free discussion of all taxing meas
ures should not be denied to the min
ority. The present Democratic posi-
tion is that in the levy Of direct tax,
discussion shall be reduced almost TO
the vanishing point and the consider
alton Of amendments denied.
Whether the Republicans can force
record Of votes by members, on one
or more ballots, or even if they could
be gaveled down on points Of order
and drowned in viva voice votes, they
can at least make their protest so en-
phatic as TO constitute a record in it.
self. Their attitude is not one Of op-
position TO voting supplies needed for
the maintenance OF government. As
disclosed in the minority report agreed |
upon by the Republican members Of
the Ways and Means Committee, it is
to be one Of protest against Demo |
cratic extravagance in government
expenditures, an insisteace upon
much more iigid economies, and
dwelling upon the fact that, as
government revenues now stand, there
is no demand Tor such haste in fore
ing through under gag rule, a bill
to tax the country Immediately in
supplying threatened deficit for which
extavagance and incompetency are
alone responsible. The minority re.
port contends that counting the
$7s.000,000 OF government funds
now on deposit with national banks,
good working balance is still available |
without making new forms Of taxstion,
and adds:
While hot disputing that this bal
ance is large enough to meet present
demands the president argues that the
withdrawal oi these deposits would
take money out Of business and cause |
injury. We fail to see wherein the
gradual with drawal oi money in these
banks, as the treasury may need it,
will have any more serious effect on
the banks and business generally than
the withdrawal Of a much larger sum
from the people by increased taxation.
