WHERE THE TAX ROAD ENDS,

In the matter of a bonus for service
men there are two questions before
congress. One, moral and patriotic,
is how much bonus money to raise
and to whom to give 1t. The other,
economic and financial. is where to
get it and how.
But whether the bonus money
should be distributed fairly or unfair
ly, wisely or unwisely, and whether il
should be raised by sound or unsound
tax methods. the American people as a
whole will foot the bills.
! 1t is the worst kind of ignoramus
economics for members of congress to
think. and it is the most arrant hum
bug for anybody to promise, declares
tho New York Sun, that the bonus
funds can be so raised that they will
not be a colossal burden on the Amer
lean people at large Raised by retro
active war profits taxes, raised by spe-
cial income surtaxes, raised by any
such taxes, the bonus funds will cost
the general public many hundred OF
millions of dollars more than the
amount OF the bonus funds themselves.
Nobody but the American people
has ever paid the war profits tax. No
body but the American people has
ever paid the excess profits tax. No
body but the American people has
ever paid the corporation income tax
It has all been passed along to the
ultimate consumer. Worse than that:
it has been passed alon over and over

The first taxpayer, say the producer
of the raw material. put the tax into
the price of his article, with lot more
on top of it. The next taxpayer, say
the manufacturer of the finished prod
uct. put it in again with a lot more on
top of it. The next taxpayer, say the
! jobber, put it in again with a lot more
on top OF it. The next taxpayer, say
the wholesaler, put it in again with a
lot more on top of it. The last tax
payer, say the retailer, put it in again
with lot more on top of it.
| All along the line everybody passed
on his tax and pocketed something to
! boot. But at the end of the line the
whole thing, rolled up like self-in-
\ creasing SNOWFALL, stuck hard and fast
to the ultimate consumer. The tar

1t began in a thousand industries as

If there is to be a bonus, raised BY

members of congress not forget thai

Then let the members OF congress no

more waStefully, no more cruelty bur,
densome upon the public than is alb
solutely necessary; for the American
public is not going to forget it.
