Mr.. Smooi's Consumption Taxes
lFrom the New YORK SUM

from him to the bread eater. This
would produce a prodigious revenue, es-
tlmated at more than three and a hall
billions Of dollars a year
Doubtless, however, whatever the at
titude OF Kitchin, economically as blind
as a bat and the blind followers whom
he leads, the Senate itself would pre-
| fer a consumption tax that did not re-
peat itself too frequently down the line.
Perhaps the Senate might find more
acceptable a happy medium OF, say, two
savings, possibly one at the passing of
the articles from the hands Of the orig
inal producer and one at the passing OF
the article finally into the hands Of the
ultimate consumer.
In any event, here Is a tax, either Ia
its very simplest form or in a repeating
adaptation, which could hurt nobody iS
the whole United States, because no.
body would pay much unless he bOughs
much: which would interfere in the
least-pOssible degree with the natural
working Of the machinery OF economics,
and which would Great revenue every
month in the year, every week In the
month and every day in the month and
month, and every day in the week, with
out the violent and disastrous disturb
ances which cOnculse our whole in
dustrial fabric when billions Of dollaSE
are wrenched with one stroke out OF
factories, mills and marts, as the Huns
might snatch statues out of churches,
paintings out Of museums and silver
out OF homes, bursting the walls open
in the climax Of the devastation.
Kitchln, we say, may not listen 10
rational taxes and 10 effective taxes
in place Of his blue ruin taxes; but
at least the Senate can put this thing
up 10 the conference committee in such
a way that only economic madmen
would still persist in his policy OF
