Killing the Goose.
What Would Happen II People Ceased
to Buy Luxuries.

To THE New YORK HERALD: To busi-
ness men with a memory of the taxes
they have paid it Is exasperating that
the Government after levying direct war
taxes on every possible article of COM
merce, with as heavy a tax as possible
on so-called luxuries. should criticise the
manner in which people spend their
money and should suggest buying War
Savings StampSeinstead of other articles.
Were an automobile salesman to say
to a prospective buyer Friend. you had
better put your money in the bank than
buy a car" the buyer would think the
salesman crazy and the employer would
fire him.
Paternal sermons from the Govern
ment on thrift will neither establish nor
increase II, but may increase business
depression and unemployment.
Were people generally to confine their
expenditures to absolute necessities we
would have panic which would spread
even 10 lines of business dealing in the
necessities,
Hundreds Of thousands earn living
through the production and sale of lux
mies. They spend their earnings for
necessities, perhaps in part for luxu-
iies, perhaps even save a little. But
kill the market for luxuries and these
people would have no further earnings
and become increasingly unable to buy
even necessities and to save.
With its many taxes on business. its
finger in every pie. luxury or necessity.
the Government is directly trying to kill
the goose that lays its golden egg
through uncalled for paternal sermons
to the public on thrift.

The Hour.

The night comes down to the valley;
We watch her over the hill;
Her loose sleeves tangle the tree tops,
Her step is slow and still.
And once she dips in the river
Her shadowed hands and her hair:
The water drips from her finger tips
And scatters everywhere.
Then she trails her way through the
garden
Where your golden pansies are,
And up the lane through the huddled
trees
She lights her way with a star.
Our candle burns in the window,
It's misted fingers of light
Reach with vague caressing now
To touch the fingers of night.

ing to the top and the goose hung
high. the income tax returns for 1918
showed only some $4,000 persons
had incomes in excess of $4,000. The
total volume of those net incomes
was indicated as not much more
than $4,000. 100000.
There is another way to get some
idea of how the Mills spending tax,
air tight in theory, but very surely
all leaks in practice, would be very
empty revenue source. This is to
consider how the national income
counts and divides.
In the United States there are
some 2o,O0o,o0o to 25,0oO.000 bread
winners. Taking into account those
that earn-but do not spend-s6, 900
the earnings Of all OF them together
must average $4,000 a year. Yet at
that low average they would total at
least $40,000,000,0 900 a year. Earn
ings, mind you, not spendlngs.
II anybody ever estimated the total
so-called national income-the COM
bined incomes OF all in the whole
country-at more than thirty billions
of dollars before the war, he never
succeeded in being heard of. II we
assume that there still is 81 per cent.
Of war imitation in everything, then
that thirty billions of dollars of pre-
war national income may be roughly
calculated now as forty-fve billions
OF dollars.
Exempting at the start the incomes
or incomes and spendings of some
forty billions out of that forty-five
billions of national income, there
would remain an apparent five bill
ions at some part of which Mr..
MnLs's spending tax could take a
shot. Some part, because, of course,
as said before, the very large incomes
do not spend themselves; they in
vest themselves.
For the sake of argument let us
say that the spending tax could take
a shot at half of that five billions,
or two and half billions, which
would be altogether too much, but
which will give the argument. Let
us say that the spending tax took a
shot at such two and a half billions
to the score of an average 10 per
cent. Of tax hits-again altogether
too much, but that will help to run
up the score.
Well, then, the 10 per cent. on two
and a half billions Of dollars spent
and not immune looks like s250,000,-
900. But the so-called nuisance taxes
have, in the vernacular of the soda
fountain and chewing gum fans, got
that amount of taxes skinned mile.
And they are all to go, along with
the previous billions of excess profits
and income surtax revenues.
The fundamental defect of the
early tax scheme of CLAUDE KITcHIN
of Scotland Neck, North Carolina,
was that he let the great bulk Of the
national income, always in the
hands of the American people, stay
without his tax schedules and within
the realm of exemption. Representa-
tive MILLs's spending tax does the
same thing. Wherefore it would fail,
for the good and sufficient reason that
you can get a vast volume of taxes
only from the mass Of the American
people because only there is where
the vast volume of national income
and spending is.
The American people must pay the
stupendous magnitude of our taxes in
whatever clothes the taxes are
dressed up. In no other source do
such fabulous taxes abide. This is
why the American peoples Govern
ment should be mighty careful how it

Progress of Dehation.

American history affords mdny
cases OF financial panics or crises fol-
lowed by economic depression, and of
the thirteen since the civil war none
left permanent Ill traces on our de-
velopment. Most of them resulted in
benefit to the country by driving
home some lesson Of too rapid expan-
sion or of unsound legislative, eco
nomic or banking policies.
We are part way, possibly well
through our fourteenth economic
crisis since 1864. What lessons will
be learned from it to our lasting
benefit is still matter of specula-
tion. But one thing stands out like
a church on a hill. America, hard
ened to panics and periods of severe
industrial depression, has employed
it's accumulated experience to clear
the boards OF this, the greatest OF all
reactions, with courage and determine
tion. The records show that America
has gone faster and further with its
defation than the other principal
nations.
In concrete form our dehation
achievement is set forth in the fol-
lowing table compiled from the statis-
tical review OF the Federal Reserve
Bulletin for the period up to the turn
of the fiscal year on July /, 1921. The
outstanding currency in five principal
countries this year and last year was
as follows (in millions):
1921. 1920. Change.
~. s.. dollars...... 1884 3,116 4s2
England. pounds. 442 452 10
France, francs. .,... 1928 37915 + 31s
Italy. lire. .... 1876 1864 + 1904
Germany. marks. so,ss2 6S,5sf III. .o9s
Federal Reserve notes.
We have Topped off 15 per cent. of
our inflated currency in year. Eng
lands reduction of f10,000,000
amounted to only per cent. Of the
total in circulation. France increased
her money by only negligible
amount, while in Italy and Germany
the printing press accounted for in
creases in paper money amounting
respectively to II per cent. and 27
per cent.
The significance of these defation
figures is enhanced by the fact that
during the year we increased our
gold holdings by s4SS,0OO,O0O. This
amount of new money coming to us
from abroad might have been the
basis for at least an equal amount Of
additional currency. But we slowed
down the output.
Demand deposits of Federal Re-
serve member banks throughout the
country declined from $11, ,347 100000
in 1920 to S10,O46, 100000 in 1921, a
net decrease of S1,301, 100000, a ratio
of about three to one as compared
with currency defatlon. Currency
and credit defiation in this country
thus totalleds for the year about
81, 500, 100000. In the other countries
before named the contraction in
credit was negligible.
From the dizzy heights of fic-
titious, pyramided values to the bed
rock of common sense business and
finance there is no primrose path.
We have iourneyed ours manfully
thus far. AS we get nearer to the
end of the road the defation terrors
will all vanish.
