STAGGERING TAXATION.

The Wheeling lnclligcnccr. one OF
tnr leading Republican papers Of
the state. has the following TO say
about taxes:
An analysis Of our individual
taxation shows Il result which. to
say the least is staggering. Face to
face with the figures We cannot help
but wonder where we arc headed
for and how long it will last.
After the rcaSSeSSment in West
Virginia, the taxable valuation of
the State will be somewhat in the
ncighborhood of S2,5OO, 200. 900.
Taxes in Wheeling arc approximate
ly 81 on the 500, an Wheeling taxes
are by no means the highest in the
State. With this as a basis. Wheeling
pays her share OF a $4,000, 900 tax
levy. Figuring the population of
tie State at 400, 900, the per capia
tax OF Wheeling citizens is approx
matcly $3.50. Add to this an APP
proNimatc $50 per capita federal
tan. and we have Il total per capita
local IN of s6&.50. exclusive of all
income taxes and special federal
taxes of every kind.
'On the statistical average OF five
persons to the family. these figures
seem incredible. 1t seems impos-
Siblc that the average Wheeling
family should be paying S342.5O in
local and federal taxes.
1T is estimated that the annual
surplus product of wealth in the
United States. the product, that is
left to the people of the country after
payment of the costs of the produc
tlon and of the maintenance of and
provision for themselves and their
children, is approximately $4,000
oOo,O0O0 per annum. In popula-
ton Of 110,000,O00 his would mean
about 500 per capita.
How can industry stand an an
nual per capita tax charge alone of
$3.50?
"Much of this great amount Of
taxes is used for very necessary pur-
poses. such as road building. cdu-
cation. hospitals. public buildings
and so forth; but, on the other hand
Il large amount of taxes is consumed
in overhead" such as the mainten-
::nce of the different departments
of the state and city government. the
enactment of legislation, elections,
salaries. and the like.
Theoretically, ii is striking
paradox that great percentage of
mans taxes should go to the state
! TO keep him lawabiding and to pun
ish him when fractions.
There was a time, not long ago.
when it was the unenlightened and
narrow viSioncd who stood in the
way of every increase of taxation.
Today the swing should be the other
way. 1t is the men of far vision
who should resist the appalling
stampede that is carrying the whole
country in this mad race"

TAX BILL.

IN" people OF thc United States
in peace still lear the heavy burden
OF wartime taxation. The Ec,rnuc
law CraN law passed by the pres
.nt Republican Congress four wears
after the war is still Il war tax law.
The Democrats offered a recon
>tructlvc programme in 1919 TO re-
| ducc War time taxation TO peace
basis, but this programme was de-
fcated by Republican Congress.
The Republican leaders in 1920
promised to reduce taxes and read
just them to a peace basis when
tins' came into full power. This
promise they have failed to keep
Just as they have failed to keep prac
tically all the promises made in thu
lcmpaign. The worst and most I'M
scientific tax bill ever passed by an
American Congress is the one now
in effect, finally passed in the Sen
ate and signed by President Hard
ig November %, 1921. 1t gives no
material relief to the taxpayers. en-
ccpt the big interests and large cor.
por;ltIonS. 1meSc arc relieved of
over one-half billion dollars in
taxes. shifting that amount to the
general public. II increased the
taxes of every small corporation %
per ccit. The increase in exemptions
to the smallest income taxpayers is
negligible. The best evidence of
whether or not taxes have been re-
duccd Is for each man to answer
Tor himself and each smaller cor
poration to answer for itself whcth-
or not their taxes have been reduced
Senator Walls Dcm. Mass..) Of
Tered an amendment to reduce the
tax on small corporations, putting
IL IN the form Of a graduate tax in
stead of flat tax, but the Rcpubli-
cans rejected it and added ~
per cent tax to the tax of 10 per cent
to the smaller corporations while
relieving tahc big ones.
The Republicans take credit for
having given the small individual
income taxpayer an additional cH-
emption of 5000. but the Democrats
attempted to do a great deal more
through an amendment by Senator
Gerry democrat, r.. ~ that indi-
vidual taxpayers whose income is
less than $4,000 should pay a rate
OF : per cent instead of i per cent,
as III the present law, and taxDay-
crS whose icomcS are between s..
600 and $4,000 should pay a per
cent in excess over $4,000 instead
OF 8 per cent Oh all over $4,000, as
in the present law, and taxpayers
whose income is between $4,000
and $4,000 is pay per cent on ex-
cess over $4,000, instead of s per
cent on excess over $1,000 as in the
present law. This amendment was
defeated by Republican votes.

TARIFF YIELD TO UNITED STATES.

The men responsible for the new
Tariff Act estimate that it will yield
10 the United States Treasury $500,
600 10000 year, or about 500, 0O0,-
600 more than was collected under
The old law. We havc good Rcpub
Hcan authority for the estimate that
the new duties will result in add
ing not less than $4,000. 0000. 900 a
year to the cost of living of tho
American people, and ii Treasury
expert is credited with the state
mcnt that this added cost of living
mill average S16O Il family for ne
CcSsarics alone. That would mean
a total increased cost of not less
than $4,000, 900, 900 Il year.
Mr.. Fordncy and the others are
wrathfully objecting to any con-
illusions. But the experience of
the country with high tariffs less
burdcnSomc than this is against
them. They hope that the protected
Interests will not raise prices to con
sumers in conformity with the in
creased measure Of their protection.
They assert an entire lack of any
such need. But they know as we'll
as anybody that these protected in
tcrests sought the increased protcc
ton TO enable themselves TO exact
Rl.igher prices, and they know equal
~ well that the increased protection
was given to them in this purpose
and no other.
They have now got TO face this
music. They cannot dodge it. For
every 81 which they have sought
10 bring into the United States
Treasury by this Tariff Act they
have privileged the protected inter
CStS to collect for their own peck
cts from the American people SO
in added cost of living. Every family
budget will tell the story as we &C
