LET THE RICH PAY.-There is
no doubt about the ability of the
United States to finance a war, how
ever much it may cost and however
long it may last.
Our total wealth is approximately
$3.50, OO,OOO,OOO; our annual in
come approximately $5O,OOO,OOO,OOO
our stock Of gold upward of $3,OOO,-
100000.
From the standpoint of material
wealth we are better prepared for
war than we ever have been; several
hundred per cent better prepared
than any other nation ever has been.
Such vast wealth has never been
accumulated by any other nation in
the whole history Of the world.
And every dollar of it is available
for war or for any other pUpose for
which the government wants to
use it.
There is no limit to the govern
ment's power to take the property of
its citizens by taxation.
Roughly speaking, there are two
methods of financing waT-by Dor
rowing through the issue of bonds;
by direct taxation against incomes
and property.
The former means the creation of
a huge national debt and a big inter
est charge. The latter. means that
we pay as we go.
One Of the big problems that our
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-05

lawmakers must solve as soon as
they have decided for war is the
method of financing it.
For many weeks past, ever since it
became clear that the war upon
which the United States is about to
enter was inevitable, the controversy
has been raging among fnanciers
and economists as to what method Of
financing should be adopted by the
government.
The bond method is extremely
popular among the bankers and big
capitalists.
There is very good reason for this.
These men realize that the alter
native method - direct taxation -
would throw the financial burden of
the war very largely on the rich and
well-to-do people.
That is exactly where it ought tC
be thrown.
Most of the fighting will be done by
those who neither are rich nor we'll
TODD, for the very simple reason that
the rich and well-to-do are in the mi
monty.
For the purpose of temporarily
meeting the governments first ne
cessities it will probably be necessary
to issue bonds.
But the permanent financing Of
the war should be on the basis Of d.
rect taxation-preferabIy the taxa
ton of incomes.
We rather like the suggestion that
an income tax so large as practically
to cOnfiscate all incomes over a GER
tain figure ought to be levied by the
government.
For example, let the government
say that all incomes over 100000,
or even as low as $4,000, shall be
taken for war purposes.
On the basis of the $4,000 figure
it is probable that all the money nee

America is in this war" declared Car

war not for greed or selfishness, but
only to maintain the principles Of
righteousness and justice.
america will see to it that no

CUBAN SUGAR CROP
TO Be SOLO IN U. S.
Base Price of $500 Per Hundred
Pounds is Fixed-plants

New York.-The bulk of the new
Cuban sugar crop will soon become
available in the New York market
under an agreement reached today
at conference of the Cuban sugar
commission and the international SUI
gar committee, fixing the base price
Of s4.9G per hundred pounds.
This price represents $3.50 per
ban ports, plus an estimated 80 cents
freight to New York. The actual
price of the sugar at New York can
not be determined until the United
States Shipping Bureau has fixed the
freight rate. which it is expected to
do within a few days. The $500 to
be paid in Cuba is the base on which
it had been hoped an agreement could
be made.
The Cuban sugar commission was
appointed by President Menocal to
confer with the international sugar
committee, headed by George M.
Rolph, head of the sugar division of
the national food administration. The
