EXCESSIVE TAXES
REDUCE REVENUES
Law of Diminishing Re-
turns Becoming Evident
in Taxing System
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, May 1-SOmetimes I
wonder if the law of diminishing re-
turns is understood as well as it ought
to be, considering how simple the pro-
position is.
To taxation experts it's as plain as
print of course.
But for the benefit of others, who
may never have paid much attention
to it, little consideration of the SUBJ
ject might be profitable.
HOW TT WORKS
Let us suppose the case of an i'm
port tax on coffee, for examples
Some of our tariff imposts are ito
posed with the deliberate purpose of
keeping foreign stuff out of the Unit
ed States, that it may not compete
with our domestic production.
Coffee, however, is a different
thing. We produce none. No protec
tive principle is involved. Foreign
grown coffee is taxed, upon is ar
rival here, purely 20" the sake Of the
money that the tax Yields to TIE gov
Ell, ment. The government needs the
oney and that is one way Of gettiog
it; possibly a poo: way, but it wo-ks
up to a certain point.
The government aiwa wants
~, re and NOR. money; .ne coffee tax
is bringing it ir quite generously, So
i; is Boosted. A.! right. there is an in
crease in collection. Then there are
further boosts, to get more still. d
RETURNS DIMINISH.
But ultimately there comes a time
WHEN coffee, by reason of the tax re-
CORES too. EXPENSIVE for any exec. {
the quite well-to-do to continue drink
ing it.
: Consequently imrol is. of it fall off.
Tae tax is higher hut it is paid on
so mu.:h less .f..e th1t. the higher
tax yields less rhe." tie lover one did.
This is the operation of the law CT
dimin shlng returns
LOWEP-MORI: RETURN
| do not know tina; this particular
ly true of coffee, hat it. is true OF i'm
ports generally
We have reached stage where the
tariff does not yield anything like the
revenue that it wOuld if it were lower.
Bv being excessive it has counteracted
itself.
We get less in tax collections where
we expect to get more.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE
This rule holds good as to a. lot OF
taxes-income taxation illustratively.
Heaven knows, l hold no brief for
the "malefactor of great wealth"
Nevertheless, when he gets up to- a
levy of about 80 per cent his inclina-
ton is to say ooh, well, l. won't make
any more money; the government will
take most of it away from me any
way"
And he goes on a sit-down strike,
living on what he has got and not
trying to make any more.
The law of, diminishing returns In
operation once more!
