The Waste of Paper.

belfast Republican JournaD
We have been sending The Journal
to the office of several Maine week
lies and have received copies of
other papers in return. This is q So
80 convenience and enabled the editor
to keep in touch with State happen
ings, and to present such as We're of
interest to the readers of his paper.
Now, however, we are ordered to dis
continue this exchange in order to
save paper. The Journal does not
object to this order which will result
in our case in the saving of six or
seven cents worth of paper each
week. We will remark, however, that
in no print shop in the United States
is there SO much paper wasted as in
the government printing establish
ment. Their daily waste runs up into
tons. Nearly all the stuff printed
there is intended for public distribu
ton. Not one person in ten thou
sand reads it. Almost every day
some of it is sent to every news
paper in the United States. 1t is
worthless as news because the news
papers have previously published all
that was of any value. 1t is not in
the slightest degree entertaining and
it goes into the waste basket. While
we are saving paper at the spigot,
we would like to have the waste
stopped at the bung.

HOW Shall We Do 1t!

The national administration recon-
mends and the government will
formulate within the next few months
taxation measure that will amaze
the world, the greatest tax provision
Of history. It is proposed to provide
so4. ooo. 900 900 with which to carry
on" Uncle Sans war efforts the COM
ing year.
Estimates submitted to Congress
place the expenditures of the gov
eminent in the coming year at about
$50, 900, 600, 900, but the House com
mittee on appropriations is OF opin-
ION that "A billions will be sufficient;
W lille the original budget places ex-
nenditures for war alone at s24,476,-
2ss.ss1T.
At s24 billions lit is not so long
ago that we gasped at billion
dollar congress') then in round num-
bers eight billions must be raised by
revenue provisions. How to levy
equitably upon taxable sources is
the big problem Of Congress, Of
course. Income taxes, excess profits.
Injuries and necessities must be
weighed and considered from every
angle Gin theory.
Experts had figured that six billions
can be raised from excess profits and
income tax, but now arises the spec
ter of the trade geese that have been
killed by increased cost of labor and
materials, brought about by govern
ment generosity with its magnificent
war fund of last year in exorbitant
wages and generous war profits on
volume of business-so that the pros
pective 6 billion drops to a billions.
Thus at the send off the revenue
prestidigitators must add II billions
from some source not yet expected to
produce revenue. And the nations
business goose that lays the golden
egg must not be entirely slaughtered
or wholly taken to the administration
table to be fed.

Consonance with the policy of p,ac-

to ask just how the administration

Are wages and profits on wars de-
