Paving the war Bill

LOW much of the present wars expense
should be borne by the people OF to-day
and how much should DO bequeathed to future
generations, Is question which will again
come before Congress. Tho presentation Of
a new appropriation budget and the admin
1strauon's proposal for enormous bond
issue of moro than eleven billions Of dollars,
forces renewed consideration of the issue.
AT the very outset of the war, President
Wilson frankly recommended to Congress the
levy OF as great war tax as the country
could reasonably bear. He took the position
that we should pay MS go. or course he
did not mean that We should pay the whole
war bill out of our daily earnings or even
out of our accumulated wealth. But he
meant that We should assume as much of the
burden as our earning power would admit
upon that theory, the administration origin
ally recommended the raising OF S1,500,O0O.-
600 through war taxation. This seemed an
enormous sum at the time. and, in fact Is
an enormous sum. But before the House
could act, tho amount was increased to
Sl.S75,OO0,000 by Secretary McAdoo Dis
regarding that advice, the House proceeded
with its original billion-and- a-half bill. Ieav
ing 1t to the Senate to make needed amend
ments Now that latter body is debating a
two-billion-dollar program. Since the Senate
look up the measure. however q demand
has been voiced for e-bilion-dollar
war TAX scheme, and the administration
eSeH10 inStneu 10 support sucn program.
The only question Is whether or not the busi
ness Of the country can continue to prosper
under such handicap And business must
prosper II there is anything to tax Unless
there are excess profits, there will be no taxes
paid on such profits. Unless there are large
incomes. the individual will have nothing
which he may contribute to the government,
Soundest Judgment seems to Indicate that
Observation-Disclosures war tax plan is
ABOUT all the government can reasonably ex-
pect OF the people Beyond that point tax
alton may become coniscation. and confsca-
ton cannot be justified under any taxation
scheme. The alternative of greater taxes is
the issue of bonds. And as long as the coun
try seems willing to absorb bond issues. there
Is no excuse for taxing any interest to the
point OF strangulation
