The tinkering with the tax bill
brings out in sharp relief the
question of party responsibility.
Nobody will contest the opinion
expressed years ago by Lieber.
the political economist. that
popularity is far from con-
shutting the sole index of good
government" 1t is generally
agreed that representative gov
eminent is not complete without
lawful opposition. There is a
grave danger. however, in the
habit of partisans to interpret
clamor for public opinion. The
feeling prevails that political
coalitions generally arouse dis
trust in the public mind. It is
also conceded that these organi-
cations will disband when their
detectives have been reached
the displacement of the admins
tration's legislative program.
The Democratic plan of tax re-
duction, which seems destined to
replace the Mellon proposal in
the House, will undoubtedly be
amended in the Senate and the
principal features Of the admin
istration proposal incorporated in
the compromise measure. No
body seems to know just what
plan will prevail in the end as
there is always the possibility of
a Presidential veto. The Presi-
dent has declared himself empha-
tically in favor of the Treasury
tax program and has indicated
that he would rather go before
the country for judgment in the
November elections on the basis
of veto, rather than accept a
plan which he does not regard as
feasible from an economic stand
point. However. the constantly
shifting political sands may force
him to change his position. With
the detection of the socalled in
surgent Republicans to the Dem
ocratic side. the administrations
tax bill has been drastically
amended on the floor of the
House.
The combination of a solid
Democratic vote and the insur-
gent element brought about the
passage of certain features of the
Democratic plan by vote of 222
to 1876. Under this vote the
Democratic plan fixed the surtax
at A per cent on incomes in ex-
cess Of $4,000. as compared to rs
per cent on incomes of more than
100000. as recommended by the
Treasury Department. A 2 per
cent normal tax levied on in
comes below 5000 and 4 per
cent on incomes between 5000
and 5000; 6 per cent on incomes
exceeding 5000. The plan as
approved by the House, allowed
exemptions Of $1,000 for single
persons and 5000 for head of
families. The minority is conf
dent that their bill will become a
law and find favor with the pub
lie.
