The Vanishing Millions.

everybody who made big money
cleanup out of the war has lost or

Politics.

Politics has been resumed on Capt.
tol Hill. 1t may seem a little early.
The resolution taken at the beginning
Of the session to chuck politics until
normalcy returned was impressive, but
too good to last At the end Of three
months it has gone blooey.
Still, let us remember that nearly
all Of our national legislators are poll
tcians-either born SO, or men who
by associating with politicians. have
acquired a strong taste for the politi
cal game. An abstinence Of three
months must have been a trying ex.
perience- They must have said to
themselves-probably every one Of
them-~It's long time between stump
speeches
The tariff broke the spelHput an
hnd to the period of good feeling. 1t
- q mighty fine old topic for just such
Q purpose. Many politicians have been
"raised'' on the tariff. They cut their
party teeth on it, and have been talk
ing it ever since they learned to talk.
And some Of them talk well on It.
And now that the spell is broken it
win probably stay broken. Every topic
win lead to politics, more or less.
Well, entertainment at least is as
sured. Our politicians, whether Of one
party or another, know their business,
and when in their stride are great en-
tertainers. And never before have so
many topics been available, or any
more inspiring. If one is disposed to
take a political view Of the situation
are lures galore. He could find them
with his eyes shut.

a marked reduction in our appropria-
lions for military and naval armament.
1t is hoped that this will follow the
coming conference Tor limitation of
ornaments, and it does follow this
also will enable US to reduce the guam
tity OF our taxation appreciably.
If these three things should happen,
then it is likely that next year will
see a proposal for fundamental
change in the form of our taxation, a
change which may reduce the amount
collected on income taxes to about
one-half the present sum, and which
may introduce a sales tax or some
other form of direct tax to raise the
balance
Quotes Hays Speech
On this point there are some sig
nificant sentences in the speech which
a member of the cabinet, Mr. Will
Hays, made at Cleveland Tuesday
night. He said 1T is the idea of those
carrying the largest responsibility
that for the imm ediate present the
method of raising revenue can prob
ably not be fundamentally changed
After the refunding of our public debt
which must come in due season, it will
no doubt, be possible to devise a meth.
cd for the ultimate collection that will
| stimulate rather than in any way re
tard business, and spread the burden
| in right proportions to every man and
woman in the country, who are all
benefciaries of the results for which
| the money was spent
! Personally, am willing to say most
| emphatically that this country cannot
go on and must not attempt to go OIL
Indefinitely during peace time with
either the form or the degree of tax
alton which originally was devised te
meet the emergency of war Our CO
lossal income taxes were adopted with
an eye single to one thing, namely, the
raising of money in the largest guam
| tity and with the greatest speed.
We took the device of going straight

where the money was, and taking 4
ruthlessly. The war tax law was
passed in the spirit of the draft act.
1t partook of the nature of a com
Wandering of money. In the emery
ency of war this was proper enough,
but to keep up this form of taxation
in the same degree during peace time,
would, of course, be intollerable.
The time is too short and the gov
ernment's need of money too great to
turn around Immediately in this re
gard. but ] express the hope and ex-
pectation that soon we shall be able
to change our system of taxation so
as to raise less of our revenue through
burdensome income taxes and more
of it through some other form of di
rect tax on the production or consump-
ton of goods"
As to quantity of taxation, Senator
Shoots prediction that it is likely to
be increased, is not received with as
much credence as his usually care
full statements generally are. All the
operations already mentioned in the
present article should result in reduc.
tons of our taxes. Senator Smoot, il,
predicting an increase, probably had
in mind the likelihood of pressure fol
soldiers bonus so insistent as to be
politically irresistible.
