there was so little left as compen-

volved that there was no longer
any inducement reasonably suffi-
cient to justify that effort and risk
CID One of the most valuabfe
by-products of wise taxation is the
promotion of thrift. There never
was a time when thrift was more
urgently essential than It is now.
Our legislators have completely
failed to use the instrument of tax
alton to promote economy in ex-
penditures on the part OF those
elements among the masses of the
people whose spending power has
been very largely increased within
the past five years. And in the
case Of the well-to-do, the very
hugeness of the taxes imposed ac-
tually discourages saving or makes
1t impossible. The excess profit
tax and the eXorbitant surtaxes
instead of promoting restraint In
expenditures, are rather breeders
of extrayagance.
