PROBLEMS OF TAXATION

The United States can hardly af-
ford to adopt suggestion Of Glenn E.
Plumb to wipe out country's war
debt at one blow by tax ON capital.
Such law would compel each indi-
vidual or concern to donate to the
government a certain per cent Of
money they need to carry on bust
ness.
This would result in curtailing
Of production at a time when in
creased production Is urgent 1t
would force many men out of en-
ployment, by closing down industries
in which they were working.
The proposed capital tax Is also
unjust in that it would compel pre-
sent generation to stand entire ex-
peRse Of war Future generations,
which will enjoy the blessings Of
peace should help bear financial bur
dens Of the war.
There are many who consider ev-
en- present surtaxes on income and
excess profits taxes as too heavy.
Whether this is true or not, 1t is
well to remember that there is a
point in taxation beyond which it
is dangerous to go. Excessive taxes
on bushes and industries have a de-
eided tendency to discourage bust
ness initiative and enterprise. We
are getting dangerously close to
this point in the U. S. today.

1.-THE American party went to
Europe with all the glory of an
oriental encourage. The George
Washington was specially prepared.
The decks Of the great steamer were
glassed-in to make a great sun par
lor. The President took the Balti-
more's orchestra to play during meals
and another band to play while the
party promenaded the decks. An
other steamship had been sent ahead
leaded with special automobiles so
that the grand retinue could go up
the harbor in regal states The chef
of the Baltimore and a corps of ex-
pert walters were taken along.
Thirteen hundred professors of
geography and history and special
writers and American publicity
agents were taken over on the ship.
The Crillion hotel was reserved at
an expense of 100000 for the
choicest of the party, while the
country rented a palace for the
President. Gaudy limousines were
kept standing in front Of the Grill
lion hotel for the use Of this retinue
