You and Your

How This Would Jam the Jails
By HARLEY l. LUTZ 10,
Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

Of large income by taxation. for ex-
ample. and then fixes long prison
sentence as the penalty for attempted
evasion. the case is not greatly diff
ferent from that of the bandit who
holds pistol at his victims head and
offers the attractive alternatives of
Your money or your life"
Until about century ago, IL was
customary to send persons to jail
when they were unable to pay their
debts. but il was discovered that this
was very poor way 10 collect debts.
Long prison sentences are not a good
way to collect income taxes. either.
The government may collect some
thing for the particular tax year IN
question. but when a person who is
capable of earning a substantial IN
come is jailed for five or. ten years.
his income stops and the tax also
stops. Some individuals now serving
sentences for income tax evasion
were suspected of having obtained
income by unlawful means. and of
having committed still more serious
ofenseS against society. These as
sumptions have blinded us to the real
significance of such methods of tax
enforcement
Another aspect of the severe tax
penalty raises expressly the issue of
sauce for goose and gander' alike.
This is the proposition that public
officials. in spending the taxpayers
money SHOULD. be held to the same
high standard as they would set for
the citizens in paying their taxes. The
logical counterpart OF tax evasion is
waste of public funds. The most con-
spicuous and the, Least defensible
form of public waste is the spoils sys-
tenn. Ii we are determined to send a
citizen to Jail for attempting a tax
fraud against the government. we
should also be prepared to send TO
Jail the official who commits an ex-
penditure fraud against the taxpayer.
Patronage and political spoils are
such fraud. but we appear to have
very different standard for public
spending than that which we have
set for taxpaying. In government
finance. sauce for the goose may
mean Jail sentence for the gander.
If we could eliminate the spoilS sys-
tenn we could tighten taxes to a de-
gree which would not require the
jailer to stand back of the tax collec-
tor. in order to get in the public rev.
enue.
