Hertible into money, to the exclusion of
that diversified farming which would mean
the growing OF crops that would supply
them with variety OF foods for home con-
sumption. 1t is the exception, rather than
the rule, that any portion of the land TO be
cultivated by the tenant is allowed to be
set apart for the growth OF the large variety
OF food crops which produce abundantly and
are necessity to the home harder. The
result is, the renter is made entirely de-
pendent on the local town market foI what

OF the small profits that accrue from their

not be overcome until the owners of these

The New Taxation Program


1 publican taxation plan have been
agreed upon in the Committee on Ways and
Means. and it is fair to assume that the
tentative bill, now drawn, will be made the
basis Of the revenue law which is to supplant
the burdcnsomc levies now in effect.
With the proposed new tax schedules little
fault can be found Tho greater burden of
complaint is not against the substitute tax
alton now beng devised by the committee
but the unfortunate delay in acting upon the
tax bill. against the stubbornness OF Chair
man Fordney in withholding his bill until
lie bring the tariff legislation to II vote,
and the waste of time that has elapsed since
the session began. The country will not
forgive this Congress for keeping the tax
payers in the dark through all these futile
months as to relief it is proposed TO give
them.
AS now indicated in official quarters, the
tax bill will follow generally the lines first
laid down by Secretary Houston. speaking
for the Democratic administration, and
later by Secretary Mellon, speaking for the
Republican regime. There is little party
difference of opinion as to the more import
ant provisions which the Forthcoming bill
will carry.
For example. both parties are pledged I'M
QUaliliedly to repeal Of the excess profits
tax that wartime levy which an emergency
made necessary but which has proved to be
national misfortune since peace has come
But the revenue derived from that source
must be eXactcd FROM some other source
inasmuch as the Federal government can
not do without the billion or more dollars
now being collected from profitable bust
neSscs.
The substitute proposed is HAT lovy
upon all corporate earnings. One element
in the committee believes that 10 per cent
should be collected from such earnings. An
other element seems convinced that 10 per
cent must be imposed in order to secure the
necessary revenue. This fiat rate, as dis
tingushed from graduated scale it is
freely admitted, will work Il serious hard
ship upon some corporations, the public SER
vice companies, for example. 1t is claimed
by, many tax experts that such tax upon
pablo utilities will compel them To raise
their rates TO the public.
There will be disappointment that the
normal tax upon individual incomes will re-
main rs at present and there will be wide
spread misunderstanding Of the reason why
the surtaX upon the larger incomes is re-
Guccd from something like G5 per cent 10 3 3
per cent. II "oulu SecIh W INC average Hi"H
that the larger incomes should not be
favored until the smaller incomes have been
taxed less. The answer TO this question is
that under tho present scale of surtaXes,
men of large incomes are Systematically in
vcsting their earnings in taX-frec securities,
thereby escaping their proper burden OF tax
alton, on the one hand and drawing needed
capital from business, on the other Whether
this answer is satisfying. remains To be
seen.
