Fraudulent Taxation Reform

A BETTED by President Harding with
a out whose support they would have
faced inevitable defeat, the Republican
members of the Ways and Means Commit
tee have undertaken the passage of taxa
ton bill indefensiblc in almost every para
graph. BY what they evidently believed to
be an adroit juggling Of figures they have

rotary Of the Treasury, who happens to be
one of Americas foremost fnancicrs, is to
be accepted no such economies rs are pro-
jectcd are possible without a paralysis of
many Of the most important functions of
the government; therefore the money will
not and should not be saved. Instead of
providing sufficient revenue to meet the OK
penses Of the government, the Ways and
Means Committee is content to reduce re-
ceipts by perhaps $1,000. 600, 900 under the
authorized expenditures. thereby running
opcn-eyed into deficit Such deficit
means hut one thing. 1t means that the
Federal government must return once more
TO the money market and rc-engage again
in the business OF borrowing large sums
not to carry on war, but 10 meet running
expenses.
This is merely one phase OF the taxa
ton program now a matter of concrete de-
vclopmcnt. The suspicion has grown into
conviction in most quarters that the

wealth of the country, from the heavier
