Johnny Chuck was a hard and dan

 Pay-as- You Go Basis
 Seen as Spending Curb
 The administration has done many things in. the field of govern inent. Many of them are approved by all liberal and progressive per- sons. Many are the subject of fierce controversy. But the one thing which the administration did which has had Q powerful and even deci- sive effect upon the course of busi- ness is It's taxing and borrowing and spending policies. The conse- quences have been far-reaching.
 Suppose, for instance, that the government had decided to spend but to get the money by taxes in- stead of borrowing. And suppose 1t had spent as much. It would have had to raise 3l billions by taxes instead of i5 billions. In other words, taxes would have had to be twice as heavy as they have been.
 But suppose It had taxed instead of borrowing. Would we have spent aS muchP There Is not the slight est doubt about what would have happened. {,
 First, the tax load would have been 80 heavy that there would have been an effective protest long ere this.
 Second, If tax money were being spent there would have been no tolerance of extravagance, waste, the tossing of hundreds of millions around through political agencies.
 Third, and this is most impor- tant, If we had spent tax money instead of borrowed money, prices would not have risen so high and 1t would not have been necessary k spend as much to accomplish tho same result. t Bill for sl0 100000

 New York, Sept. 24. - h the last few weeks a major crack in the stock market has caused everyone to look about him to learn what is wrong. The war in the Ori- ent, the rising enac e around the Mediterranean, the activities of the adminis- tration, the mounting tax load, labor wars, the SEC - all are blamed for what has happened to our pretty little boom.
 No man can understand what IS happening to us now In the market or anywhere else or what Is going to happen to us unless he keeps in mind some simple facts of which this big subject of taxation Is a part.
 For this all has to do with the forces which made the market 90 up and which made It go down. Present Troubles
 Stem from '3S Crisis
 It all began in 1883. Business was stagnant, banks were closing, millions were out of work. At the time there were several powerful demands abroad In the land. One was to get prices up, One was to get wages up. To do this there were several popular remedies. One was to start government spending. The other was imitation.
 The President adopted the policy of forcing prices and wages up. He also adopted the policy Of goVern- ment spending.
 Business, labor, the unemployed farmers all enthusiastically ap' plauded these policies.
 Borrowing Easiest
 Way to Get Funds
 Now when Q government starts to spend money, 1t must face one grim fact--namely, that 1t hasn't got any money to spend. It can get money in only two ways, One Is by taking !t from the pockets of the people oy taxes. The other Is by borrowing.
 In the four fiscal years ending last June the government spent roughly 3i billion dollars. But It did not raise in taxes half that much. IL raised by taxes l6 billions. It Dor. rowed l6 billions. It has borrowed more than that because these tig- ures refer to the last four complete fiscal years only.
 When this borrowing started 1t was quite generally approved. A few unpleasant persons warned that 1t was frausht with danger. But the alternative was to tax. And taxes

The other is to borrow from the banks. The two methods are vastly different and the consequences which flo, from them are vastly different. t' ! l '..
 The government borrowed, not from the individual citizens, but from the banks. It borrowed, not by issuing bonds and selling them to the public, but by making short term promissory notes and placing them with the banks. This Is the manner In which all relief costs were paid Instead of by taxes. And out of this the most stupendout consequences have borne fruit. 'r But the reader will do well to re. member this--that we as Q people lE four years spent l6 billions for re covery and relief and that every dollar of this bill must still be paid and that not having taxed ourselves for 1t yet we will have to begin do' ing so soon.
