MAKING THE RICH PAY

Secretary Houston would have tho major costs
OF government borne by those who profit from
government. the wealthy. The ambition Is as
Old as the governmental idea, II IL bascly
sound. too But how to accomplish 1t is IA
problem never yet satisfactorily solved,
There are many beautiful theories In the
realm OF speculative economies that somehow
or other fail us when the attempt is made to
apply them to practical conditions. Govern
mental authorities permitted themselves to be-
lievc that the war could be paid for from cur
rent taxes we went along by laying almost
confiscatory taxes against earnings and wealth
In general.
Academicaliy the theory was sound. But look
. ut the consequence OF an attempt to apply the
theory! No matter how, or where tho levy was
laid. 1t was passed on TO the ultimate consumer
for final liquidation. which ia to say It In large'
part was finally paid by that class OF citizen
least able to pay At.
The excess profit tax was designed to take
from the corporations and individuals who were
reaping an enormous II not immoral profit ~
result Of the war, the Hons share OF the costs
Of that war. A perfectly sound principle. hut
In practice the 20 per cent tax iexied against
tho business was carried In tho overhead ac-
enough to absorb tho tax levy and still leave
a revenue sufficient to meet dividend demands.
Inevitably. then, the excess profit tax was
borne not by the manufacturer or dealer. but
by the final purchaser OF the commodities
that were manufactured. And the excess profit
tax and various other taxes accommodating all
along the line OF a given commodity, from the
hands ,of the producer OF raw material to the

sumner. laid n burden on commerce In general
that to n very great extent accounts for tho
era OF unsound so-calicd values from which
the country is now emerging with great df-
ficuty and considerable loss.
II there Is way to exact from excessive
wealth a heavy tax without that tax being
passed on to the very class OF citizons II is
desired TO shield. then Secretary Houston should
point It out. Economists generally agree that
the only known way is through a confscauon
OF the principle instead Of the income. Is the
secretary OF the treasury prepared to advocate
that?
Human experience but confirms the economic
theory that the most equitable taxation sys-
TEN is that based on advalorem. That is
TO say. u tax levy based on the property values
Of the entire country. Thus man with a
thousand dollars In property pays only his
proportion OF the entire budget requirements
AS does also the man posscased OF million
dollars OF property pay his proportion
BY bringing all forms OF wealth under the
provisions OF this law and enforcing 1t equitably
and honorably "A taxation system results that

ARTISTS AND AVT

Copyright. 1920. by Edgar A. Guest)
We got TO talking art one day. discussing In
IA general way
How some can match with brush and paint
the glory OF "A tree,
And some In stone can catch the things ot
which the dreamy poet sings.
while others seem to have no way to iclt
the Joys they see.
Old Blake had sat In silence there and let
each one of us declare
Our notions OF what's known as art. VI
I'll he'd heard US through:
And then said he! 1t seems TO me that any
man, who'er he be,
BECOMES an artist by the good he daily
tries to do.
He need not write the books men read 20 be
an artist No. indeed!
He need not work with paint and brush 10
show his love Of art;
who does a kindly deed today and helps an
other on his way,
Has painted beauty on face and played
the poets part.
Though some OF us cannot express our inmost
thoughts Of loveliness,
We prove we love the beautiful by how we
act and live;
The poet singing OF tree no 4fater poet
Is than he
who finds II in his heart some care unto
u tree TO give,
Though he who works In marble stone tlhe
name OF artist here may own,
No less an artist IL the man who guards
his children well;
-Tis art to love the fine and true, by what
we are and what we do.
How much we love lifes nohler things TO
all the world we tell"
