Americas war debt will be dis
tributed over a period of from fifty to
100 years; taxation of Injuries will be
increased and the machinery for meet
ing government expenses readjusted
on the basis Of levying taxes where
they will produce the least hardship,
il Congress heeds the advice of Rep
resentative James w. Good of Iowa,
chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee.
Speaking before a largely attended
meeting of the City Club. at the Wash
ington Hotel last night, Chairman
Good put forward this program as en-
bodying the fundamental principles
meking possible a reduction in the
cost of operating the government. He
tax. on the ground that it is vicious
and unsound.
He advocated a heavier tax on to-
bacco and federal tax on passenger
automobiles of so cents per horse
power, estimating the latter would
produce annually not less than $780,
100000 of revenue.
Spreading out the war debt over a
long period, he said, would put manu-
facturers and merchants in a position
to compete in the worlds trade. and
expedite the nations restoration to
normal conditions and prosperity.
Must Prune Estimates.
The immediate task confronting
Congress. Chairman Good said. is to
reduce the taxation burden for the
coming fiscal year as much as possible
by pruning the heavy estimates which
have been submitted for the govern
ment's needs.
The estimates call for an expendi-
ture Of more than $4,000. o0o. 900.
Congress will fall short of it's
duty" he said. "if it does not reduce
this amount to less than $500, 000,-
O00'
While emphasizing the seriousness
Of the steadily mounting government
costs and the consequent burden
placed upon the taxpayers, Chairman
Good was optimistic in his forecast of
the nations economic and industrial
future.
Predicts Wonderful Prosperity.
Il believe that we are on the thesh-
old Of a wonderful era Of prosperity
and good feeling" he asserted. I'VE
have a commanding place as a pro-
ducing nation. The markets of the
world are open to us and we should
extend our trade to the south. to
China and to those countries which
want our products and have the mon
ey to pay for them"
In beginning his address. Chairman
Good spoke of the interest Americans
everywhere feel in the development
Of Washington as the nations CAPT.
tai. and said he felt there should be
closer working relations between
Congress and the citizens of Wash
ington.
He expressed the hope that a health
full sentiment would be created for
cleaning up Pennsylvania avenue,
which. he said. should be lined with
government buildings and made the
unqusetioned peer Of the worlds
great avenues.
