Whose Is the Profit.

TN ONE the Federation of Labor is right
i that the rich will profit by the repeal of the
excess profits tax and the excessive surtaNcs on in
comes. But to excess profits, not only the rich,
but great many below that economic class will
profit. This tax was not wholly respectcr of the
persons OF any successful business men. 1t took a
piece of the skin from all of them.
Nor did it stop there. for it took pinch off
the backs Of every ono who food wears clothes
and lives in houses. This tax passed along
with an increase Repeal will take away the ex-
for this and the extra profits made through it
will disappear For time the repeal will
add to the incomes Of those i'll business; not the
rich alone but all OF them. And this is all it will
profit them. Then the profit will come to the ordi-
nary man whose dollar will buy more. 1t will be
but incident in the process of readjustment
1t happens that it is alone the rich who pay
taxes. Also, those who pay them may collect from
others more than, they pay. So ultimately every
pays them. 1t is impossible to confne taxes
merely to the rich 1t is just as impossible TO take
from the profteer his gains. 1t is nice to talk
about this. 1t forms several luscious mouthfus OF
seeming equity. But as the old said of some
thing else: at can't be did" Under any known
system of business, under any known social organ
ization, it is impossible. 1t is a process of dis
elimination which is beyond taxing powers, leg
islative ability.
Income surtaxes apply only to the superrch.
But here, also, their repeal will not alone profit
those who pay them. Much of them have been
rassed along in way the other, while it is
not theory but actual condition. that capital is
not permitted to lie idle 1t always seeks invest
mcnt. Investment, no matter of what nature always
results in employment. In this country there is no
such thing the rich growing richer while the
poor grow poorer.
1t is not true that wealth grows more
concentrated in the few hands If the has
made hundreds thousands of new milonaires.
just far there has been redistribution OF wealth,
and merely the number of automobiles is equal cvi
dence OF the still wider distribution OF wealth. As
fact other country has wealth dis
trbution as the United States. 1t is equally true
that the levelling has been continuous for many
years and is continuing. 1t will increasingly con-
tinue as thrift increases its grip upon lives.
The fedcraton's pronuncamento is of those
seeming truths OF surface truth which is only
kin deep.
The Washington herald., 1921-08-25

within over 10 per cent of equalzng increased costs
Nor have salaries yet been so adjusted as not to
make the government, especially in the divisions
uirng special training and expert ability the most
unfair and penurous employer in this country.
As Consequence it is losing and has lost
many of its most valuable men. Il has kept only
those who have long been in the treadmi, who
have families and dare not venture to break away
from sure thing. No one, not living in Washing
ton and even few here, begin to appreciate the
hardships and near penury endured by hundreds of
families because of this reduced purchasing. power
of salaries.
DIR. Fisher made suggestion that would seem
wise and worthy of adoption. 1t was that all sal
aries after being fixed on fair basis in ratio to
the cost of living, be left for readjustment from
time to time on the basis of the cost of living,
the purchasing power of the dollar. This is what
Great Britain did as to wages during the war. 1t
is what we failed to do. II government salaries
fixed a sliding scale as to merit efficiency
and experience, length Of service being but one
factor and were also made adjustable to the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar, there would be new
inducement for young people, not only to enter the
public service, but to stay in it.
As it is. fathers caught between the millstones,
warn their and daughters against public serv-
ice and governmnt employment, save maybe, as a
post graduate course, for year or two, in a
service is mounting expense quito equal probably,
though hidden, to what would be the increase neces-
sary to pay really living salary.

Model of Brevity.

IF CONGRESS is DESTROYS of simplicity and
i concisencss in the to-be-passed revenue and
tariff bills these can be found in intro
duced on request by Senator King. 1t contains in
but thrty-two printed pages complete revenue
and tariff bill. 1t is like condensing the Ten Com
mandments side of calling card. With it
went a statement, explanatory and argumentative,
by Samuel Russell who may be, therefore, credited
as the author of the bill
Mr.. Russell is Utah attorney and an expert
on legislation To say the least his bill is interest
ing. 1t frames an income tax based on ? mills on
81, and "the square OF the base SO ascertained" is
made the tax. There the usual exemptions. But
il man had $1,000 taxible income, his tax would
be 81. If the amount to be taxed $1,000 the tax
would be 81 on each $1,000 squared, or ten times
$40 equalling $780, This increase continues to
taxable incomes OF $4,000. where the tax would
be $62,5oo or just so per cent and so per cent is
then made the maximum for all incomes above
$I25,ooo.
In the same way ST more could OF course
be made the base and the square used to compute
the tax rate up to any desired percentage which
would then become the rate for higher incomes
Certainly this is simple and ingenious. There is
also given simple methods OF computing other than
personal incomes
Turning to tariffs, Mr.. Russell would lew A
flat ad valorem duty OF 80 per cent on all imports
specified Injuries. Being, seemingly, believer in
tariff for revenue only well for protection
there is long list of specific duties Rather of an
oddity is an inheritance tax, called duty on dis
tributons' using the base system as with
personal income tax, and duty on credits" levied
all debts created. but to be paid by the debtor
at the time of the collection of the debt instead of
by the creditor when the debt is made
AS a whole the bill is novel; it is original as to
dimensions and in all its features. 1t may, prob
ably will be treated as freak" but it is worth
the reading and experts might find it worth study
New ideas not common and sometimes they
prove have merit. Not the least of its merits in
novelty is its brevty as compared to the Fordney
revenuc bill OF cighty-three pages all amendments to
be unscranblcd and applied to the present law. and
the Fordney tariff Of 1913 pages. This is total
of All pages compared to Mr. Russclrs thirty
two pages.
