Why Not7

Discussing the excess profits tax,
sendeor Weeks penetrated to the heart
OF the. question by asking why eight
per cent was set as the limit of return
which enterprise may take from its
ventures, why concern earning more
than eight per cent should not be re-
1uired to share it's surplus with a con-
Germ which did not earn so much. and
why. as a logical result, it is not
reasonable to legislate that no man
shall be permitted, through superior
business sagacity or skill, to maintain
"a more flourishing business than his in
ferior competitor.
If a dead line of reward is to be set
for American enterprise. it means stag
nation in American development. If
the government can limit the amount
which man may take from a bust
ness in, which he embarks, why may
not III government say what business
man shall engage in? Why may it
rot require him to turn over any BUSH
ness which he may posses to the gov
ernfnfnt. Why may it not fix such a
mans compensation for managing, for
the governments benefit, the business
which was ohse his" Why is not the
excess pr1ats tax the first step to a
complete Naturalization or socializa-
ton Of the ccuntry's business?

ESTIMATED.
Since the Treasury estimate for 1917
was made Congress has enacted the
excess profits law refusing categori-
cally to enlarge the source of revenue
at our ports, and this will go still
further in lessening the percentage
which the customSwill supply Of our
revenues which COW trench in every
direction on tlts' taxable subjects of
the States And still we remain alb
solutely unprepared for postwar COM

The Revenue Failure

Increasing imports and decreasing
revenues from import duties is the
continuous record Of the Democratic
tariff law.
The average rate Of duty on all i'm
ports for the first seven months of the
fiscal year 1917. July. 1916. to January.
1917 fell just trife below per cent
On imports totaling $1,34S,265, 900 we
received customs revenue amounting
to but s121,213,563. That was an in
crease in the value Of imports over
the first seven months of the fiscal
year 1913, under protective tariff. OF
$252. 900, 900 Gan increase at the rate of
the amount of revenue collected at our
ports of s74.OOO,0o0.
When Secretary McAdoo estimated
customs receipts for 1917 at $3.50, 00O.-
900 he believed the estimate very con-
sentative. 1t now looks as If his es-
innate would be s3O,oOo.0oo too great.
and that the revenue from this source
will be not less than $120000.000 short
of the amount received in Republican
times.
The dwindling importance OF the
tariff as a source Of revenue. under
the Democratic policy is indicated In
the following table, showing our rev.
enues derived from customs, internal
taxes, and miscellaneous sources for
the past six fiscal years, the first two
being subject to Republican laws:

More Prompt Change Needed

Newspapers in the District Of Co
lumbia are agitating change in the
date Of Inauguration with a view to
holding that ceremonial late in the
Spring when weather conditions are
more likely to be favorable than they
are on March 4th. A better sugges
ton is that made by Representative
Lenroot, Of Wisconsin. that the in
auguration be held January LIST, thus
bringing into earlier effect any change
Of administration for which the people
may vote at the preceding election.
Holding the Inauguration in June
would mean that the administration
would not change until eight months
after the people had voted.

three feet thick and very hard. The
