Figures so Staggering That No One
Can Really Grasp Their
Magnitude

The estimated cost of the war this
year is so large as to stagger and be-
cloud the imagination when one at
tempts to think what it really is and
means.
The administration at Washing ton
has notified congress that the cost will
probably total nearly eleven billions
$40. 735, ,8O7, 000-besides the three bill
lions that we have agreed to furnish
our allies.
Congress has been notified that new
revenues totaliIng seven billions must
be provided for. 1t is estimated that
not more than two-sevenths of the
amount can be raised by taxation; the
remainder must come through bond
sales and money expansion: that is,
the issuance of treas ury certificates
similar to the paper money now In cir
culation. Two of the main sources of
tax revenue are expected to be an in
crease in levIes on incomes and excess
profits, but fully thre e-fourths Of the
amount IS expected to come off the
people as whole IN various ways.
Their is also talk of increased taxes on
tobacco.
In England the government has
adopted the plan of taking all profits
above four per cent Of the net income
of businesses. That allows them to
charge any price they choose tor any
thing they have to sell. but the surplus
above four percent goes to the govern
ment to keep down taxes. 1t is claim
ed that such u course has solved the
maximum and minimum price question
etfectualIy. There has been no hint OF
such extreme measures Being adopted
IN this country.
