FAv0Rs FLAT NORMAL TAX
II would prefer 10 have the ex-
cess profits tax repealed. and to see
Imposed flat normal tax on all pro-
fits. which at least would do away
with the discrimination existing UNI
der the act now in force. The pres
ent taxes are based on the DISPOSE
ton of profits, while flat normal
tax would be straight assessment,
regardless of taxable amounts.
II am one of those who believe
that the excess profits tax is COM
monty shifted to the consumers, and
that in the shifting 1t is very general
ly increased from the amount impos-
ed, often to two or more times that

tribution to the final consumer of

yet, despite the accumulative
feature of a tax imposed on the same
goods at every turnover, I am con-
WINGED that 1t would not enhance the
final price to the consumer SO much
as is done under the present excess
profits tax. The business man.
knowing early in the year that the
rate at which he must pay on excess
profits depends on the volume OF
business and profits for the whole
year, cannot tell at a given time
how much he needs to add for It; so
he is sure to be liberal and add en-
ough to protect himself fully in any
event. He takes as much as he can
all the way along; so say that from
two to four times as much is paid
by the consumer on account of this
tax as the government gets in its
revenue chest.

mans mind will be ended II we have

amount"
The possibility. indeed. as 1t now
seems, probability. of the passage Of
a soldiers bonus law is the spectre
at all revenue discussions. Senator
Smoot has had this in mind in all
his consideration. He declares that
If such bonus is paid 1t should be
under a law that will rightly re-
quire the collection of the money
from the people as fast as II is paid
out. That is, IL a law is passed for
the payment OF the entire bonus in q
single year, then its entire amount
should be raised in that year from
taxes. II It Is spread over two or
more years. then the taxation can be
similarly spread. But he would I'M
der no conditions make loans to meet
such tax.
New forms OF taxes. indeed, are
considered in all the quarters where
have to think OF the rev.
enue future. Senator smoot said ON
this point:
POSSIBLE SOURCES OF REVENUE
IF additional taxes are required,
II is at least worth while to consider
some Of the possible sources OF more
revenue. Here are some items;

with the advantages OF being easily
ascertainable and collectible, with
no chance OF the consumer being
charged a higher rate.
1.-THE rate would be so low that no

"A sales tax Is simple in It's work

Its collection would require little ex-

would require no great army of gov
ernment employees"
Thus Senator Reed Smoot (Utah)
the sales tax now strongly urged as a
substitute for the excess profits tax
and means to shaping the reven-
and workable form. The need OF
revenue reform has been demonstrate
ed, in the judgment of careful stu
kept in close touch with its develop

ing out the need that the country
realize that taxes must remain high
FOR many years; that they will never
again be so low as in the past; and
that. therefore, 1t is highly desirable
that the laws be as soon as possible
adjusted to meet the inevitable bur-
den with the least friction and dis
comfort to the tax paying public.
LONG A VOICE IN THE WILDER
Senator Shoots was for long a
voice crying in the wilderness. He
was telling the country, many months
ago, while other men were insisting
that the peak OF war burdens had
passed and 1t would be a down hill

governments financial condition was
misunderstood, and that the most
important business in hand was to

ginning to get the attention that was
denied him when he first sounded

He would have the sales tax sub
