in accordance with their ability
to pay. Another is that inc ONES
and profits constitute. if not the
best at least one of the best stand
ards by which to measure ability
to pay. !.
We must always remember
that the argument that by heavy
taxation we reduce the ability of
the public to purchase bonds is
fallacious. What. we raise by
taxation we do not have to raise
by bond sales. and if we. raise
enough by taxation we will not
need to sell any bonds at all.
After all any bonds we may
sell for the purpose of this war
must be sold to our own people
and must be paid cut of income
or investment. If paid out Of
income then that income was also
available to the government thru
an income tax. If the bonds are
paid for out Of investment that
must mean that the bonds are
made so attractive by high inter-
est rate tax exemptions or other
features as to attract money from
normal business enterprises to
the disturbance and injury of the
regular business of the country.
SOAKING THE CONSUMER.
The bill as reported by the
majority places taxes on freight
bills and railway tickets, tele-
phone and telegraph messages,
automobiles admissions to places
of amusement tea coffee sugar
and cocoa express and parcel post
packages letter postage and bank
checks.
All these taxes are so arranged
they will fall on the Gore LlFol-
lette-Thomas report insists they
should be defeated and some have
already been rejected by the sem
ate. Concerning these taxes the
rep 1rt says:
These taxes will not only in
creases The cost to the consumer
by the amount of the tax but by
the percentage of profit which is
added to the increased cost of an
article, ard the ultimate consum-
er must pay it all.
| So far as meeting the needs of
the government for revenue is
concerned which we have come
to reckon in billions the amount
of these taxes is inconsidcrable.
But as a means of increasing the
cost of the necessaries of life to
the poor they are oppressive and
more than that they will be and
are intended to be merely the
first of the taxes to be levied on
the recessaries of the poor in Or
der to finance this war.
In next weeks letter l will tell
how senators Gore LaFollette and
Thomas planned to raise revenue
by taxing war profits and
incomes.

There has been great improve

lights were a nuisance. and the
new arrangement will be appre-

The school buileing has been

department will be filled by Mrs.
Baber. Miss Plessinger also at
tended the Teachers college at
Greeley to better prepare herself
for duties of teaching. but when
she returned she thought she
would also like to be Mrs. Baber
and accordingly We shall have to
practice calling her by that name
now. Mrs. Baber's two years in
the same room will render her
more competent than she has
been before as she is always try

Washington Letter
By Edward Heating

Congressman from lEe tnlro Coloraoo
district
AS this is written a momentous
struggle is being waged in the
United States Senate. 1t involv-
es the all important question Of
financing the war, a subject
which discussed in a rather
fragmentary way in my last let
ter. -.sr-.y-. .......
Shall we raise our revenue by
taxing the things men eat. wear
and use or shall we tax incomes.
inheritances and war profits?
That's the issue.
Party lines have been smashed
beyond recognition. Senators are
nolonger Democrats, Republicans
or Progressives. They are lined
up for tax on wealth or they are
arrayed against that proposition.
The revenue bill as reported by
the Senate Finance committee
met the approval of big Busi-
ness" Congressman Claude Kit
chener, the leader of the Demo
Gratis in the house, publicly de-
nounced it as a surrender to Wall
steet influences.
THOMAS MINORITY REPORT
A minority report was submit
ted BY Senators Gore, LaFollette
and our own senator Charles S.
Thomas. Unfortunately failing
health compelled Senator Thomas
toreturn to Colorado before the
real fight opened in the Senate.
He is one of the acknowledged
leaders of that body and his ab-
sence makes a void which it is
extremely difficult to fill.
The report which he assisted in
preparing is a masterpiece and
has made a profound impression
on the members of the senate.
Thirty senators have already
promised to support it in princi-
ple and others indicate a willing
ness to go part way.
In order to appease the protest
ants the majority members OF
the finance committee are talking
compromise. They are willing to
add $500, 900. 600 to the war pro-
fits tax and the senate itself has
already added $100. 900, 900 to the
income tax.
BIGRESULTS ACHIEVED.
So the revolt led by Gore, La
Toilette and Thomas has added
approximately $6O0,000. 900 To
the tax on wealth and the fight
has barely begun.
Six hundred millions would be
a staggering sum in ordinary
times but it is only a drop in the
bucket now. We must raise and
-expend twenty-one thousand mil
lions before July 1913.
How shall we get the money
The Gore-LaF FoIlette-Thomas re-
port says:
''Of all forms Of taxation that
involved in bond issues is the
worst. The people must redeem
the bonds principal and inter-
est - and in a comparatively
short space of time the interesr
comes to equal or exceed the prin
cipal.
''Bear in mind also that at the
close Of the war whenever and
however it may end. our resour-
ces will he severely tnxed 10 meet
the expenses made recesea'v in
order to maintain The ENLARGED

there are about 500 of Villas followers
