WASHINGTON, d. Govern
nent expenses for the year 1921,
which runs from July / this year to
suly ! next year, will be $500, OOO,-
700, according to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon.
Last year the Democratic secretary
II the treasury announced that the
1921 expenses would be 1904 ,OOO, 900
md the Republicans made the promise
70 cut this vigorously one of the chief
POINTS in their campaign.
Before the 1920 election the Repub-
6can congress advertised q cut to
e3,717 ,OO0, 900, but now we find that
Ae expenses are actually 5000 ,OO0, 900
more than the Democratic secretary
announced as necessary. This $780,
10000 increase amounts to about Sc
Tor every person in the United States,
and the total expense to $500 per
person, or $266.5O for the average
:amily of five persons.
Three factors account for these
nrge expenses:
1. The unparalleled appropriations
:0r militarism.
2. Interest and sinking funds for
the var debt.
3. Juggling and wasting of funds
BY congressional leaders to keep up
political fences. >. -.

another resolution substituted which

KELLER's TAX BILLS

congressman OSC0I Meier, VINO was
sent athere by the farmer-labor alli-
ance~ in Minnesota, has introduced
four important tax bills. His purpose
in general is to shift the tax burdens
from earned incomes to the unearned,
to use taxation to cut under monopoly
of natural resources, and to collect
heavy tax from large inheritances.
The first bill is to repeal all existing
transportation and sales taxes except
those on tobacco, distilled spirits, oleo-
margarine, habit-forming drugs and
the products Of child labor. The bill
also repeats the excess profits tax and
the 10 per cent tax on corporation in
come, which are Offset by the taxes in
other bills.
The second bill provides for dis
tinction between earned and unearned
incomes. The earned income is defin-
ed as income from personal services or
from business personally conducted.
The third bill amends the inherit
ance tax law. Estates Of from $40, 600
to $35, OO0 would pay a per cent tax,
those from $85, 600 to $4,000 2 per
cent tax, 81, 900 to $4,000 . & per
cent tax; $50 300 to $3.50, 600 . 8 per
cent tax. The graduation is continued
until ct 500, 600, 600 the tax is 50 per
cent.
The fourth provides for . tax Of 1

FIGURES ON RAIL COSTS

Figures submitted by Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, to the senate committee on the
total expenses of operating the rail-
roads, show beyond doubt that private
operation has been more expensive.
In 1918, q year of government con-
troll, total operating expenses were
$685., GOO, 600; in 1919, another gov
eminent control year, they were
N,S99, 000, 600; in 1920, q year Of pri-
vate control, they were S., 76S, OOO, 900.
The difference between 1919 and
1920 is $1,369, GOO, 900. If we deduct
from this q wage increase granted on
July !, 1920, amounting to $48O, Co.,
900, there is still balance Of $780,
100000 to be accounted for by the
champions of private control.
And we must remember that during
most ofsthe time the government con-
trolled, railroads were handicapped
by the great strain of Transporting
soldiers and war supplies; also that
the government was handicapped by
having to retain in it's service railroad
managers anxious to make govern.
ment control turn out bad.

MORE RAIL EXPOSURE

Continued investigation of railroad
costs by the interstate commerce COM
mission reached the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad this week. Last week
the commission found the New York
Central paying six times as much 10
outside shops as the repair work con-
sidered would cost in company shops.
r. d. Hawkins, general superin-
tendent of motive power of the Allan
tic Coast Line, testified that repair
work was sent to the outside shops
because the railroad shops were not
large enough to take care of all the
work. He also declared that the COM
pany found trouble in getting men to
live at railroad shop towns.
This testimony was shown to be
what ordinary men call lying by the
fact that the road dismissed 10 per
cent of it's shop forces at the time it
some correspondence. Hawkins had
written letter to Vice President Del
ano, November 10, 1920, stating that
repairs would cost less in company
shops but recommending the sending
Of repairs to the Baldwin Locomotive
Works on the cost plus plan.
Hawkins told Delano that this might
appear inconsistent but justified it
with the statement that Baldwin's
needed the money. officials Of the
Atlantic Coast Line were using this
outside repair graft before the gov
eminent gave up control and govern
ment expenses were thus padded.
