A SALES TAX JOKER.
Bristol Herald Courier

There are many objections to the
proposed "overturp sales tax"-so
many and such serious objections
that that plan of shifting large
part of the tax burden to the shoul-
ders of those least able to bear Il
probably will be abandoned.
Some one has now exposed iok-'
er in the sales tax by showing how
it would give big business an unfair
advantage over small manufacturers.
He takes the case of a small con-
Germ making steel products and saws
this is what would happen to it:
The mine sells ore to the jobber-
and rows a sales tax. The iobber
sells the ore to the blast furnace
second sales tax The furnace sells
the pig iron to the jobber-third
sales tax. The pjobber sells the pig
iron to the small steel mill-fourth
sales tax. The mill sells the steel bill
lets to the small manufacturer of
steel sheets, cold-roller shifting, etc.
fifth sales tax. The mine sells coal to
the jobber-sixth sales tax. The Job
Der sells coal to the coke oven
seventh sales tax. The oven sells the
coke to the blast furnace, the steel
billet maker and the manufacturers
OF finished products-three moro
sales taxes.
Ten sales taxes in all. They arc
passed on to the small manufacturer
I OF steel sheets. cold-rollcd, SHIFTING
etc. While he in turn passes theem
on to his customers, still these ten
sale taxes become part of his pro.
dnction costs and increases the min
imum price at which he can sell.
On the other hand, take an outfit
like the United States Steel Corpo-
ration. In large part, it owns and
mines its own coal and iron ore.
makes its OWL, coke, pig iron, steel
biilets and finished products. No
sales tax would appear in this big

THE FEVER OF SPENDING PUB.
Lie MONEY.
(By William E. Borah. United Sena,

(By William E. Borah, United Sena-
tor from Idaho.)
The people will have to make up
their minds that they are not going
to get any money for real internal
development, or for taking care of
those things which are so essential
to the betterment of industrial and
agricultural conditions, until we
adopt different program with refer
ence to those things which really
swallow up the vast sums of money
which Congress appropriates.
The appropriation bill for the Navy
carries 1896, 900 900. We are about to
construct and are in the process of
construction off some 16 capital
ships, which cost about S40,O00,O00
apiece. am perfectly clear that we
could suspend the building of ut least
six of these capital ships without de-
triment to the country, and ultimate
ly without weakening the Navy, and
hereby save $240,000.444. If we could
cut hundred million from the Army
cost and two to three hundred mil
lion from naval cost, we could be
cutting our expenses and making a
saving which would mean something.
II is impossible, perhaps, to esti-
placed it rs high as $348,0OO 900 900.
Our own indebtedness, our public
debt, is about S24,0OO,000,OO0. We
are appropriating about $4,000. 000.-
900 or 4.500,O00,00O for current ex-
penses, and we are facing q deficit
of some $2,O00,000,000.
The fever of spending which we
contracted during the war is still
raging. The joy riding in the Public
Treasury is still our chief delight.
This to me is greater menace than
