BRITISH FISCAL POLICY

The final report Of the British COM
mittee on the commercial and indus
trial policy of Great Britain after the
war is important in that feature deal
ing with the future fiscal policy. 1t
presents divided view on the matter
Of the tariff, but it is encouraging TO
note that a majority Of the committee
favored a limited protective DUTY for
certain industries which are described
in the report as the key" or pivotal
industries. They recommend that
some action be taken 10 promote and
safeguard the development Of those
industries on which other and larger
branches OF industrial production Of
substantial national importance are
dependent. or industries which. while
essential for munition purposes. are
not of sufficient importance TO insure
their development without such gov
eminent assistance. Protective du-
ties are recommended also for certain
industries other than those Of this piv-
otal character, but which are import
ant for the maintenance Of the indus
trial position Of the United Kingdom.
and which are unable 10 develop them
selves BY reason of undue foreign COM
petition, in adequate supply Of raw ma
terialS, or any other cause. The du-
ties imposed in accordance with these
principles are to be utilized for the pur-
pose Of according preferential treat
ment to the British dominions and
possessions overseas. and for the pur-
pose of negotiating reciprocal arrange
ments with the present allies and neu-
trails. That is coming quite close to
the spirit of the Republican protective
principle.
A minority OF the committee. while
not unalterably opposed to this meth
Cd OF protecting the pivotal industries,
are of the opinion that a general ad
ralorem tariff of 10 per cent. should
be imposed upon all wholly or mainly
manufactured articles imported into
the United Kingdom. excluding only
raw materials and foods except luXu-
ries. These members believe 4 low
general tariff Of this character would
have the effect Of giving the home
manufacturer security against unfair
competition; that through d reduction
or remission OF the dulles under it,
the desired preferential treatment
could be given to the British domin-
| ions: that such tariff would provide
the means of negotiating commercial
arrangements with the present neu-
trails; tha, it would provide also the
wherewithal for bargaining with neu-
! trails, and finally. that it could be
used to penaIizc the general trade OF
| tho Central Powers along the lines
! contemplated by the Paris economic
conference.

gestS that VIC may we'll pause to real
ize that before We shall have cQualed
the performance Of the thirteen origi-

this figure by half. that before We shall
have put ourselves on a par with the
defeated Confederacy We shall have
doubled it. May we not give thought
to the fact that in order TO put forth
an effort duplicating that Of the North
We must raise an army Of 1S.5000 900
men?
1t is absurd to look with compla,
cence upon the insignificant military
aid which the average American has
in his mind when he contemporaries our
share in the great war. There are
plenty of people now living who fought
in the Civil War: plenty more who
lived through II. II We would but re-
mind ourselves that before We shall
have equaled the achievement Of their
generation we must still put IL 500. 900
! troops in the field. perhaps We should
look with less complacence uron what
we have done, and with less misgivings
upon the raising Of the next million, or
! the millions after that.

SUGGESTIVE COMPARISON

Many to-day look upon increasing
our army to 100000 men as the limit
of tho wonderful things this war has
called upon Us to produce One year
ago the strength OF the American
army was 2l2.034: at the present time
i, is approximately 1.65o.725. The pop
ulation of the country is conceded to
be over one hundred millions, so In
spite of the heavy increase We have

WAR TAX PROBLEMS

The important problem before the
country today rs the need for lncreaS'
ing government revenue BY means
other than the sale OF bonds. What
ever the House OF Representatives
may do in evolving new tax meas
ure, such a Law is subject. to revision,
il not largely rewriting By the Senate
, It is recalled shat when the budget OF
expenditures for the fiscal year ended
June 3otn, 1918. was proposed, the
general expenditures were estimated
at about $4,000. 100000. while the &C.
tual expenditures will be about ST.
OO0, 900 900. AT present those who
!, have the drafting of our approprla-
tons are talking OF government e1-
penditures for the coming fiscal year
in the neighborhooG OF S25.000.0oQ.-
900. Secretary McAdoo estimates the
total at S24.O00, 10000 Many students
of this question doubt the ability OF
the government 10 spend $c4,D0Q.n00.-
900 in year.
In surveying the present tax pro-
gram OF the administration in relation
to the question of an increase in reve-
nue., an eminent financial authority
points out that three possibilities com
mend themselves 10 the student Of
government finances. The first is that
of a modification Of the income tax
schedules. The progressive feature
introduced into the income tax Law
with view Of equalizing the burden
of government finance among all
classes was carried somewhat 10 the
extreme. II is suggested that IN vie"
of the experience OF other countries
ne exemption limit should BE- lowered,
that the normal rates OF the income
tax should be increased for all sched-
ules, and ;hat in addition. the rare Of
surtaX, at least as war measure, also
should BE- increased.
The second possibility Is that OF
changing the present excess profits
tax, which has produced large reve-
nues for rhe government. but which.
in many instances. has imposed dis
proportionate burden on industry.
Aside from the question OF a tax upon
business. it would seem advisable to
develop a bona fde warprotits tax.
which doubtless would bring in larger
revenues than the present tax. and at
the same time bear more heavily upon
those businesses and industries which
have been benefited directly or indi-
rectly by the prosecution of the war.
1t would be no injustice 10 make such
enterprises pay heavier taxes based
on their war profits.
The third possibility is that of the
development Of consumption tax.
The internal revenue tax on tobacco
and beverages is clearly levy OF that
nature. Consumption taxes may be Of
two classes-one that is applied to all
= articles which are consumed. prima-
rily applied at the source OF produc-
ton, and the other ta1 on certain ar
tcles, such as luXuries or so-called
non-essentials. France has adopted
the latter type Of consumption tax. and
in England it has been proposed.

FARM RECORDS

Farmers who are not keeping farm
record should seek the advice of the
county agent or State farm manage
ment specialist as to suitable form Of
record and the method of. keeping it,
and be ready at the beginning Of the
farm year to make prompt entries Of
things done during the year. This may
be a record Of just one enterprise or Of
all operations of the farm. The rec
ord will be found very helpful in find
ing out the strong and weak points
of the years business and in deciding
on any changes that may be desirable
in the organization and management
for the next year. Farmers who are
already keeping records should see
that the accounts are summarized and
the new inventories promptly entered
for the beginning Of the next years
business. Farmers who do not keep
books will find it difficult to make
proper returns under the Federal in
come tax law.
