increased taxation will be unpop-
ular with the voters, and that
cutting government expenditures
viii be bitterly opposed by the
politicians.
1t WNl mean cutting off govern
ment bureaus, eliminating gov
ernment services, ceasing govern
ment interference, curtailing gov
ernment activities. Il will also
mean putting an end to govern
ment subsidies, abandoning loans
on commodities which are grant
ed and accepted as gifts from
Uncle Sam, taking government
out of business-and revamping
the whole relief system.
Only by such drastic acts can
taxes be reduced-and as each of
these acts means cutting politi-
clans or their supporters OF the
government pay roll, it is easy TO
see how bitter will be the politi-
clans hight to continue spending.
Whoever doubts this need only
consider the case of the soldiers
bonus. Year by year the veterans
have brow-beaten the politicians
into giving them more and more
money. No Congress has dared
oppose them. When a President
has vetoed a bonus bill he has
been hailed for his exceptional
courage-courage in resisting an
organized racket. Other groups
eating out of the government
trough will conduct as formidable
a campaign as the veterans to
keep their feet in the trough.
The Republican party, fortu-
nately, has the tradition of reduc-
ing taxes. Presidents Harding and
Coolidge not only reduced taxes
but paid off a large part Of the
National Debt. Now, as after the
last Democratic administration,
the Republicans will have to fight
once more for lower Federal
taxes, and also in the states do
all in their power to reduce local
taxation.
But most important of all is to
recognize the fact that Senator
was right when he
tried to broaden the base of Mr..
"soak-the-rich" tax
He had the courage to
point out publicly that is was not
enough merely to 'soak the rich"
that enough money to- pay for
the New Deal experiments and
excesses could not be raised by
putting taxes on men and women
Of small and moderate means, as
we'll as on the very rich.
It was characteristic Of Mr..
RoOsevelt's instinct for doing
what is popular that he used all
he force in his power to squelch
he LaFollette amendments to his
AK plan. He knew these would
Ose votes for the New Deal be-
,ause they would bring home to
he average man and woman the
cost of paying for the New Deal,
md thus intensity the demand to
)ut an end to experiments and
'eckless spending.
But the logic of events is ines
.apable. Keep the New Deal and
Day for it in larger taxes, or re-
luce taxes and drop the New
)eal.
The Republicans choice is OBJ
'iOus. They must restore the gov
rnment to a "pay-as-yOu-gO"
asis.

Now small spade is played and, at this point. declarer must make a safety play he must not take the finesse.
