CONFISCATION by TAXATION

Taxation. II concerns every
body nightly and it will be the
subject of political contention as
soon as the new Congress meets
and until election day in Novcm
Der, 1924. The issue forces itself
and cannot be evaded.
The radical element is preparing
a program of increased taxation
which it will seek to force on the
new Congress. 1t will seek to re
store the excess profits tax, to hoist
the income tax, to increase the in
heritance tax. What is proposed
is Il process of cOnfiscation of pro-
fits and OF any considerable family
estates.
|. is natural for the economical
~ uninstructcd man to measure
what should be any other mans
holdings by what he himself pos
scSScs The disposition is observ-
able even among men who would
be supposed to know better. It
may lead them to support the en-
plOyment of taxation not merely
as Il method to finance government,
but also as Il levcliZcr. The radi-
Gals in the new Congress are bent
upon Il concerted effort i'm that dl-
rcction, he implication being that
to be successful is more or less Il
sin. to make money is considerable
of Il crime and to inherit any
positive indency.
These men would shrink from
the consequence Of their own
theories. But either they have not
the intelligence, or they have too
much passion, or they are too much
committed to an illusion, to realize
what are the grim consequences
OF undue and contiScatory taxation.
They think that one class can be
taxed for the benefit OF anOth ar,
whereas undue taxation is distrib-
uted over the whole face Of society.
We have in America no class
monopolizing land as feudal aris
tocracies have done, or specially
exempted from burdens as those
same gentry were. What we have
had, has been an open economic
field. i'm which everybody could go
as far as he was able. That open
tors would narrow or virtually
close. What they propose is real
ly a mighty change economically
and socially.
They would close opportunity to
men of enterprise and ability.
They may think they would be
preventing swollen fortunes, pro-
hibiting rich heirs, all in the in
terest of the average citizen. Not
50. What they will be doing. if al
| lowed, is to lessen incentive. dis
courage initiative, deprive creative
ability of its reward. That would
| be a tremendous and disastrous
price to pay for the pleasure of
busting" some excessive money
bags and reducing the pomposity
of some proteers.
This radical crusade might as
we'll be met head on. Indeed. it
will have to be so met and fought
in the new Congress and in the
elections of 1924.
Taxation is the great political
{! divider 1t may actually precipi-
tate that new partisan alignment
which has threatened since 1912
| Certainly, if the radicals of both
parties line up to force confisca
tory taxation, they are going to be
opposed by the conservatives of
both parties, the men of economic
enlightenment and belief in the old
and proved American status.-Min-
neapOlis Journal.

The way the Edison-Ford "commod

Briefly stated, the Edison-Ford plan
provides for Government warehousing
OF basic commodities, against which
currency would be loaned to the pro
Queer without interest, up to half the
average value of the products for the
previous twenty-five years. This
currency would be cancelled as the
commodities were withdrawn and
passed into trade. On the other half of |
the value the producer would receive |

sell or use for bank loans. On these
