Main Benefit to Very Rich

There are two classes of people
who get relief in the way of income
tax under the Fordney tax bill. The
person with an income between $1,000
and $4,000, the exemption being in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
The allowance for dependent chill
dren is doubled and the person whose
income exceeds $4,000 year. There
is no relief for the person whose in
come is between $4,000 and $4,000.
There will be no quarrel over the in
crease in the exemption of the small
income taxpayer, even though the mo-
tive for making it may be solely in
the nature of a political bid. but even
this concession is of no benefit to the
5,735,000 persons reported by the De-
partment of Labor to be out of work
at this time. g.
AS the bill stands there is no real
relief for anybody this year with the
practical certainty of big deficit star
ing the government in the face at the
end of the fiscal year.

No Republican Leadership

There is nothing scientific about the
Fordney tax bill. Neither the White
House nor the Republican Congress
has ever had a tax program about any
thing except to pay election debts and
keep the party together. The making
of the tax bill has been matter Of
guess work and catch-as-catch-can, a
matter of temporizing and grasping
at straws. This and that have been
suggested as things to tax only to be
abandoned. The lack Of leadership
has been painfully apparent from the
beginning. .,. (
The trouble has been principally
that the making of the tax bill as well
as the tariff bill has been done with
only political effect in mind; the spir-
it of politics has ruled in the matter
which should have been considered
only as an economic measure. The tax
bill is designed to fool the people, but
it will not fool them; it will fool only
those Republican Reactionaries who
have sacrificed an honest financial pol
icy to political expediency. The very
best it can accomplish is to postpone
the day Of wrath.
The r. r. Situation in Nutshell
Here are two interesting items in
the days news: r @
The Senate Committee onInterstate
Commerce has favorably reported the
bill to let the railroads haveFafi addi-
tional $500, 100000.

bill to meet the requirements of gov
eminent, Chairman iFordney has pro.
duced only political dill with view
of fooling the people into the belief
that the Republican party is keeping
its campaign promise to- reduce taxes
and is making a record of economy.
What he lis doing, according to the
spokesman of his own party. is pro-
ducing deficit which the government
will have to borrow money to meet,
and pass the debt on with the hope
that something will turn up.
According to its sponsors, the Ford
ney tax bill is expected to produce a
little over $3,OOO,OOO,OOO in revenue,
which, with the expected revenue from
the tariff bill, would bring the total
up to nearly four billions of dollars.
Secretary Mellon estimates that he
will require $4,554, 100000 to meet ex-
penditures for 1922, which would leave
deficit of half billion. The Treas
ury estimate is way below that of
other estimates by those who are quail
flied to make them. AS late as June
last, Senator Borah on the floor Of
the Senate, said with reference to eX-
penditures:
~ stop here to venture this opinion
I will not call it a prophecy, but l
venture this opinion: Judging the fu-
turc by the past, instead of being $5,-
OOO,OOO,OOO for 1922 it will reach five
and half or six billions, and see the
items coming now which will cover
that"
Senators Penrose and Smoot, the
best informed Republicans in the Sen
ate on financial matters, have both
stated that there could be no reduction
in taxation-that it. without creating
deficit, because they realized that
government expenditures would not be
reduced. The administrati n has
promised some reductions, of course
such as saving $25,OOO,OOO in the De-
partment of Agriculture VIXEN the en-
tire appropriation for that department
is only $33,OOO,OOO, but so far they
are only promises.
AS to the Fordney estimate that the
tax bill will produce upward of 49,
00O, 100000, it is only necessary to call
attention to the Republican estimate
that the tariff bill will produce $780,
,000--some put it as high as $780,
900. The absurdity of this estimate
is apparent when it is stated that the
high record of customs collections in
any one year was 1888, 6s3, 445 in 1910,
when trade was good, The Republican
estimators propose to double this in o
year when trcde is falling off at an
appalling rate. t.,,

The best way to break up the dis.
armament conference, which has al
ready been packed with delegates who
have no intention of disarming, would
be to ask Russia to participate. No
body else would have the effrontery to
sit in a disarmament conference with
a country which has been for some
years engaged in restoring to plum
dered peoples territory taken from
them by the Cars. Inasmuch as the
chief use any of US has for arms is to
perpetuate our hold upon other peo-
pies property the mere appearance of
a couple of clean-handed Russian del
egates at the conference would make
everybody else run from the place in
shame.-Clark McAdams, in Post

ing rates and making demands on the
government has no limits. They even
sought to make the government pay
them for alleged inefficiency of the
labor employed by them after the
roads were turned back to them"
The three pieces of legislation
which the Republican administration
has insisted upon are:
The tariff bill, protecting the manu-
facturer at the expense of agriculture
and other natural industries.
The tax revision bill to relieve the
great corporations and profiteers of
excess and surtaxes.
The grant of $500, O00, 900 additional
to the railroads which already owe the
government 1871, 100000.
Why Have a Tariff on All Imports?
Representative Hayden (Dem.,
Ariz.), made the following lucid ex-
PLANTATION of the Democratic attitude
on the tariff in a recent speech on the
tariff bills
"This question has been asked on
the floor of the House: If the Demo-
cratic party stands for tariff for
revenue only why should there be diff
ferent rates on different commodities
and why should certain articles be up
on the free list?. The answer is that
the Democratic party has always rec
ognized that our system of tariff tax
alton is intimately connected with the
business of the country and there
fore that in collecting revenue con-
sideration must be given to the eco
nomic effect of the duties imposed.
"The first Democratic exception is
that articles entering into trust-eon-
trolled products should be placed up
on the free list. The need for revenue
will never be so great that the tariff
be used as q shelter for monopoly.
Another we'll recognized distinction
is that lus,uries may properly be tax
ed at a higher rate than the necessi-
ties of life. That is why bread is on
the free list and jewelry is taxed. A
third rule is that there should be no
duty upon articles competing with
American manufactures ! which are
sold abroad more cheaply than at
home. This is, the reason why /, sew
ing machines, and agricultural imple-
ments and barbed wire were placed up
on the free list in the Underwood
law" : a'"0''

5,735,OOO UNEMPLOYED

The Secretary of Labor estimates
the number of persons out of employ
ment in all the industries of the coun-
try at 5,7S5,OOO.
This is far in excess of all the armed
forces that the United States Govern
ment modified during the war. To
find anything that compares with it as
a record of economic collapse we must
go back to the troubled months in
1914 which followed the German dec
laration of war, when American
finance, commerce and industry were
suddenly paralyzed by the transfer
alton of Europe into an armed camp.
1t is easy and usually foolish to
blame government for unemployment,
but in this case there is clear and
unmistakable relationship. When the
Republican Senators under the lead
ership of Henry Cabot Lodge began
their fight against the Treaty of YER
settles they began also to recruit this
vast army of unemployed.
At that time these Senators organ
ICED their intrigue against President
Wilson, American labor was at work
and American factories were all run
ming at full time. American industry
was looking forward to long period
of prosperity in which it was to reap
the reward of it's participation in the
reconstruction of war-devastated Eu-
rope. 1t was plain enough that Amer
lean prosperity hinged on the rehabil-
itation and sterilization of political
and economic conditions in Europe.
American interests were inextricably
involved with European interests. To
get the world back on it's feet it was
imperative that the United States
should ratify the treaty of Versailles
and exert all it's influence and power to
re-establish real peace in Europe.
Instead of doing the obvious thing
the Americans people permitted the
Republican Senators to wreck the
treaty in order to crafty their hatred
of Woodrow Wilson, and when the
treaty was wrecked by the Senate, Eu-
rope was given over to economic dis
Indignation.
Not satisfied with this exploit in ma
'icious destruction, the Republican
leaders in control of the Republican
Congress that was elected in the fall
of 1918 refused to revise taxation and
refused likewise to reduce expendi-
lures to peace-time basis. Their an
sweS to every plea for action was that
# the country wanted them to revise
taxes it must give them complete con-
rol of the government In 1920. The
country gave them complete control of
the government and they have failed
to carry through a single pledge that
hey made.
American foreign trade has steadily
diminished since it became evident that
the Senate would not ratify the Treaty
of Versailles. American industry has
steadily declined under an unbearable
burden of taxation. Hundreds of mer-
Chant ships are rusting away because
American commerce has been stran-
gled by Republican politics, and now a
Republican Secretary of Labor admits
that 5,735,O00 American workmen are
walking the streets because they can
find nothing to do. This is the SUI
preme achievement of normally. -
