which so often depart widely from the
intentions of legislators. A long list
could be made of the unattended Ell
fects of taxation. Any observing man
may detect multitudes of them n
the operation of our state and Federal
taxes. Prof. Seligman singles out one
which is now prominent IN the
thoughts of business men and Of trea-
sury officials, and ought to be, though
we fear it is not, in the minds OF
congressman. 1t has to do with the
question whether the sacrifice de-
manded of the taxpayer is not out
of proportion to the gain realized IN
revenue. Under this head Prof. Sci
lyman makes the following interesting
and pertinent specification:
Where a tax definitely impedes pro-
duction the loss to the producer is
to be measured not simply by the
tax paid, but by the tax not paid.i.
e., by the absence of profit on the
output which is now destroyed. IL
the same way when tax checks con-
sumption, the loss to the consumer
is to be measured not simply by the
tax which he pays on the commodi-
ties consumed, but by the absence of
the commodities which he is now pre-
vented from buying, and by the sub
stitutes which may be either unsat
isfactory or entirely beyond the reach
of his purpose. In all such cases the
loss to the taxpayer is greater than
the gain to the treasury. The evils
are disportionate to the benefits. In
these cases the tax is to be conceived
not as burden on existing production
or consumption, but as bar or bar
or to future production and con-
sumption. A tax as barrier may often
be worse than a tax as burden.
The idea embodied in this finding
echo in current business experience.
Cases crop up frequently where men
are deferred from investing their cap
ital in promising enterprise because
they feel that if the expected profits
are realized the government will take
so large a percentage of them as to
make the risk not worth while. High
taxes that discourage investment and
put a premium on evasion are an
obvious mistake in fiscal policy. The
conviction has been deepening in the
business world, and has been reflected
in statements by the secretary of
treasury, that some of our higher in
come taxes are proving in practice a
double failure. They do not produce
the expected revenue, and at the same
time they check production. In such
a case they plainly fall in the class
of those taxes which Prof. Seligman
happily describes as barriers that are
really worse than burdens.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1923-06-20

the burden attempted by the last con-
gress only fills certain congressional
minds with fury, and they are hot to
put back what was taken Of, and
then add to it.
1t would be we'll if all of them could
be got to read the article by Prof.
Seligman in the last number of the
Political Science Quarterly on 'The
Effects of Taxation" 1t is quiet
study, partly theoretic, partly historic
and actual, of the results of taxation,
