SIMPLIFY TAX LAWS.
Chicago Tribune

The relation between our taxes and
the multiplication of political jobs is
more difficult to impress upon taxpay-
ers than one would imagine. 1t ought
to be so Gear as to bring pressure upon
Legislators which would offset the in
fiuence of politics and bureaucratic
self-intesest, but it is not. Public
opinion is not organized and concentrat-
ed. The interest Of the jobseeker and
the bureaus is both. We are good
natured people who find it easy to
spend money and government expendl-
ture we accept rather cynically as a
necessary evil we haven't time to
bother about 1t is easier to pay than
to examine and resist.
But the extension of bureaucracy and
government Intervention in private af-
fairs affects more than our pocketbooks.
1t is a nuisance and it is growing In
evitabIy it invades private affairs clum-
silly and imposes loss of time and vexa-
tious exactions, elaborate reports OF
private transactions and unnecessary
reviews. Government accounting,
enormously involved and complicated,
makes many errors, and the one who
suffers is the citizen, not the official.
As we have said, bureaucratic interest
is in the direction of more and more
red tape, more complications, more de-
tails. more hair-splitting exactons,
All of this justifes large body of
officials who are are paid by the tax
payer to prosecute the taxpayer. We
are confident an examination of this
mass of official activity would show
that large part of it does not pay for
itself. Our present regulations are an
invitation to evasion, which is likely in
many cases to set up sort of duel be-
t. zen the taxpayer and the tax collect
or, the one trying to evade exactions,
the other trying to impose as many as
possible. This puts premium on bad
citizenship 1t creates demoraizing
spirit both among taxpayers and tax
collectors
The Republican party is under pledge
to simplify our tax legislation so that
the citizen may be relieved of the bur
den of complicated returns and enabled
10 obey the law and meet his obliga-
tions in good faith IL is not too late
to fulfill this pledge, and congress
should not fail to do so. The American
people are carrying very heavy bur
den and must carry it for many years,
and it is important that the fulfillment
of their obligation should not be made
more onerous than is necessary. If the
administration and congressional lead
ership wish to earn the gratitude of the
taxpayers they will address themselves
energetically TO the simplifcation of
our tax laws and regulations.
