N'NDO0 PROPOSES REDUCTION
IF TAXATION BY ONE BILLION
BY POSTPON|NG SINKING FUN

WASHINGTON, March 4. - An inn
mediate billion dollar reduction in
federal taxes was suggested in
statement issued here today by VIM.
G. McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury. The present tax burden is
too great, he said, and is having an
injurious effect on business
Mr.. McAdoo proposed that collec-
ton of tax TO establish sinking
fund for retirement Of the war debt,
which was recommended by former
Secretary Glass TO begin with the
fiscal year 1920, be postponed for
two years and that the deferred pay
ments of European interest be fund
ed until Europe is in a position to
pay its interest charges.
The financial policies of the ma
ton, as embodied in future congress
sional legislation" said Mr.. McAdoo.
should realize the utmost economy
in expenditure and might we'll fund
in long term bonds $1,000,000, 900 per
annum for two years of the amount
now raised by taxation.
one per cent sinking fund to ~
tire bonds now outstanding is to be
collected beginning with the fiscal
year 1920. This might we'll be post
poned for at least two years and thus
reduce the tax burden by $3.50, 100000
annually. There, too. is the debt
which Europe owes us and which now
amounts to about $4,000, 100000. II
the economic restoration of Europe
had proceeded for enough so that
Europe could now pay interest on this
debt Gas she will be able to within
a few years. We should have an IN
come of $500000,000 from this source.
But that is not now available. Why
not fund that amount against the day
when it will come back to us? BY
postponing for two years the estab-
lishment of a sinking fund and fund
ing the deferred payments Of Euro
pean interest, we should cover $751;
100000 of the billion dollars by which
our taxation might be reduced.
by disseminating purchases of
Liberty bonds for retirement under
provisions of existing laws the treas
ury would be relieved of "A large bur
den now reflected in the floating debt
and which otherwise will have to be
made up by taxation. 1t would seem
that reduction Of our tax bill for the
next two years in this manner coulG

This question in it's broad relations to
our general economic welfare The
immediate burden of taxation is too

ing factor of large proportions in the
high cost of living. Its inevitable
tendency is to stifle new enterprises
and to throttle initiative. 1t is both
unscientific and inequitable. In view
of that approaching decline in our
export trade with the inevitable re-
duction in the volume Of business

important to revise and to reduce

not have to carry an unnecessary
