received a commission Of % per cent. of

timony regarding the arrangement with

In proposing that customs revenues

me that we ought to repeal the tax on
transportation. which last year yielded
more than s252 O000o0 in taxes on freight
and passenger fares. That service is
already taxed TO the breaking point and
these taxes should be repealed. It viii
NOT be difficult TO find new sources OF
taxation that would not be burdensome
to take their place.

Last year there was taken from
bonded warehouses almost 100000 gal
Ions OF spirits. These spirits paid tax
Of only S2.20 gallon. They were with
drawn for medicinal purposes, but Were
used for beverage purposes. We ought
to restore the tax or $3.50 gallon and
BY so doing could add a. our revenue
from this source alone from S5OWl to
to siO0000,000, depending on the amount
Of Withdrawals.
eve have also a comparatively ltght
tax on tobaccoes, cigars and cigarettes
compared with similar tax levied IN
other countries. Last year we collected
approximately s295, 100000 from this
source. ne we levied the same tax on
this class Of commodity that is levied
bv Great Britain ara assuming That
that tax would not materially interfere
with the consumption. II would bring into
the Treasury. more than $500 100000 a
year.
so that by repeating taxes on trans.

taxation by putting an additional tax
on luxuries that will more than take its
place so far as the revenue derived Is
concerned.

more than 100000 passenger carrying

passenger carrying vehicles and made
the amount Of the tax dependent upon

could easily collect s200,000,0 900 from
that source. BY pending legislation II
is proposed to appropriate S100,Ooo,OOO

Ing throughout the United States. No
one Is more vitally interested in good
roads than the man who drives an au-

New York Herald Bureau,
Mnshingfnn. ID. O.. March ~.


Washington, ID. c., March a.
A prompt reduction of the heavy
war taxes is necessary TO prevent the
sitting Of American industry. Repre-
sentative Good (Iowa), chairman Of
the House Appropriation Committee,
declared to-day in review of the
Government fiscal situation for the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
Specific recommendations made by Mr.
Good were:
Refunding Of the Government OBJ
legations. amounting to S7o00Ooo,
900, which will fall due within the
next three years into long term
bonds.
Use of the $250,OOo 900 annual
Liberty bond sinking fund to re-
tire certificates of Indebtedness
bearing high rates of interest in
stead of the war bonds with the
lower rate.
Repeal of the excess profits and
transportation taxes and the sub
stitution Of a Federal license tax
on automobiles and increased levics
on tobacco and non-beyerage
liquors.
Increased tariffs that will yield
not more than S4o0,oo0,0oo an
nually, as compared with $780,
100000 at present.
Greater governmental economy
and liquidation of war overhang.
Mr.. Good estimated that the Govern
ment will require 00.000,O00 during
the next tiscal year and endeavored to
show that this should be raised with
the elimination Of the excess profits tax
n no attempt is made to retire large
amount Of the obligations falling due
within the next three years.

Investment Results

What have they been for the past *
years? The statistics of the losses in market
value of stocks and bonds are appalling
These are not the statistics of investing
really but of speculating. One did not think
that he was speculating when he bought
Government bonds or high class railroad
bonds authorized as legal investments for
trustees, but he was.
He was speculating the rate of inter
est that capital was to command and the
price at which long time loans at fixed in
terest rate would sell.
The only real investments have been
Guaranteed Mortgages. There nave been no
losses in them, but the rate has changed with
the market for money, and the principal, If
asked for, has been paid at par within
reasonable time and finds fault be-
cause he bought them.
