individual and corporate incomes and
of reducing the exemption under the
present law of $4,000 for single and
$4,000 for married persons to $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively. The surtax would

in addition to any increases that
may be made in the corporation and

be imposed on such products as gaso-
line, crude and refined oils, horse

ternal combustion engines, and various
other articles not necessary to men,
ton. These taxes would be widely
diffused and scarcely felt. Certainl,
the nation is willing. when it is so able
to do so, to raise by taxation the
amount needed for such vital pur-
pose as national preparedness and de-
fense.
1T IS, of course. the function of the
Congress to determine what revenues
shall be raised and how, and these
views must not be considered as a pro-
gram, but merely as suggestions for
discussion
Estimate of Disbursements.
The estimated disbursements fol-
1916 and 1917 represent what the vari.
Gus departments of the government eX-
pect to spend from the appropriations
Evening star., 1915-11-26

Cost of the administration de-
tense program for the first year
would be met by an increase in
internal taxation, if Congress
gives its approval to Secretary
McAdoo's suggestion.
In formal announcement, Mr.
McAdoo has declared his belief
that an increased tax levy was
preferable to bond issue, adding
that it could easily be borne by
the people of the United States.
He would raise the necessary
revenue by lowering the income
tax exemptions and assess various
commodities.
Provisions for Defense.
Secretary MoAdoo's statement was
issued in connection with an estimate
of the federal governments revenues
and expenditures up to the close of the
next fiscal year He places the amount
of additional revenue required for the
expenditures for 1917 at s112,So6,394.
including S93,S0G,000 for new measures
for national defense. This estimate is
based upon the assumption that Con-
gress will continue in effect the pres
ent emergency tax law and customs
duty on sugar.
It is explained that while the pro-
Evening star., 1915-11-26

likely that the demands upon the
Treasury from that source will largely
decrease in the near future.
'If the policy is adopted of providing
sufficient revenue to cover the Panama
canal payments, as well as all other
demands upon the Treasury. it will
probably be broad enough to take care
OF any ordinary fluctuations in the
revenues and expenditures of the gov
ernment in the future.
Points to Nations Wealth.
Therefore. If bonds are not issued
for Panama canal payments, the total
amount of new revenue required for
the fiscal year 1917 assuming. as
before stated, that the present duty on
nue. taxes are continued) is s112,S06,-
394.22, in which is included the sum of
$93, 100000 for preparedness or new
measures for the national defense. This
amount can easily be raised by inter-
nal taxation without appreciative bur
dens upon the American people. The
resources and wealth of the country
are so great and are increasing Sc
rapidly that the needs of the govern
ment for it's normally growing eXpend-
itures and for the carrying out of the
larger program for national defense
can readily be met

That amount, 1t is stated. would

If Congress approves of Secretary
McAdoo's proposals, the income tax
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000, and on

A Nice Tribute

From Sioux Falls Press.
The little town of Kadoka has
assuredly earned a distinction that
goes to few communities anywhere
and we doubt whether another state
in the union can boast of town
that matches this South Dakota
performance. SO convinced were
the citizens of Kadoka that their
town ought to have the county seat
that before election last year they
promised the voters TO make the
county present OF suitable lot
and court house if they could be
named the county seat. kadoka
won and the citizens haye Just turn
ed over a court house, built largely
with their own hands, to the ccPHty.
The money for the lot and the lum-
Der was donated by residents OF
Kadoka, a neighboring township
and a school district. Ninety ka-
doka boosters did all but the fancy
carpenter work and donated their
services. Young boys, aged men
and even women seized the ham
mer and fell to work. This is the
kind OF spirit that makes for civic
growth and progress. What won
ders the same degree of enthusiasm
exerted here in Sioux Falls could
accomplish"
