AIR TRANSPORT

i've pOIl WI 0Sl' VIC III f'N''~ ~ F'0 ~
in this war, we are getting q bit over
enthusiastic about postwar ProbobII-
tiles.
Already, in q casual way, we. are
talking about q time not far distant
when family planes will be as common
os family fIivvers are today.
We take for granted the prophecies
that otter the war huge 0ircrott will
IorQeIy suppIont trains on land and
ships at SEQ in the business Of trans
porting both passengers and freight.
Though probably we don't really
oroue that far, we envision h0zlIY the
day.. soon otter we have pounded the
axis out Of existence, when we shall
fIy to the unmourned funerals OF the
automobile and the railroad and the
steamship.
Such q dream could come true, Of
course. In speed, in carrying capacity
in ease Of control and in fundamental
sofety the oirpIone has made unbe-
IievobIe strides.
Without doubt, after this war air
lines passenger, express and freight
business will be multiplied many fold.
We shall have thousands Of huge
planes, built as bonbers and trans
ports and war freighters, plus the CO.
pucity to turn out more thousands eV-
cry year.
The railroads and steamship lines
will foce intense competition. Efficient
plants, which have been making fight
ers and troiners, undoubtedly do their
best to sell US family planes in place
of automobiles.
But that is only one side Of the
picture. The men who design ond
manufacture planes tell us, truly
such developments are mechanically
feasible. The men who will have to
find the income to pay the expenses
want to know. about some other
phases.
Huge bonnbers ore built to give
superspeed, to fly at extreme attitudes,
regardless Of the cost Of construction
or operation. Governments at war can't
worry unduIy about economy But ex-
Perts soy these big planes will need q
whale Of q lot Of revomPjng before
anybody can use them to haul Poyoods
in seIf-supporting business venture.
Moreover, there is q question how
much freight and how many Possen-
gers are in sufficient hurry to poy the
premiums to finance dir transport.
As for family planes, did you ever
stop to think how much more extensive
terminal facilities, involving how much
greater tax COST are required for q
plane than for an outomObiIeo Do you
know how your community could fin
once such costly Improvements, at the
same time maintaining streets and
highways - for, Of course, the plane
owner must have q car to travel from
home to airport.
None Of these problems is insolu-
bIe Some oren't even relatively diff
cult The point is that such problems,
and dozens more, exist and at best will
require time for their solution.
Don't sell the railroads, steamship
lines and automobile manufacturers
too short right away. Let's keep our

The dope is that the gov
eminent will spend some SIT
billion on war production in
the fiscal year beginning July
!, 1912.
There is heard in Woshing-
ton q little doubt that it will
be possible to spend this much
on war production alone since
there may not be enough OF
some raw materials or semi
finished ports to keep Produc-
ton machinery going, but
there seems to be no doubt
the government will be able TO
rose the money. The only
question is how.
One tn cory is that this
whole sum might be financed
by taxation. Thot is, if the
national income reaches 81 ! !
year, it wouldn't be too much
Of O thing to absorb SIT bill
lion, or IS per cent Of it in
toxes. This would have the od-
vantage Of holding down the
national debt, which is plenty
big enough already The trou-
BILE With this ideo is that II
might ruin O lot Of businesses
not considered essential to the
war, and it would make the
war terribly unpopular It is
therefore crossed off as q Po-
llticoI impossibiIity.
The decision has apparent
" been made to roise only S24
billion Of the SIT billion by
toxotion. This years tax bill
was intended TO raise about
$40 billion. To boost the tax
revenues to S24 billion means
that another 81 billion must
be rolsed, and thot's what the
House Ways and Means Conn.,
mittee which writes the tax
b Is is seeing and saving
about now. A guess is that $40
billion Of the S24 billion total
will come from direct taxes,
and Sl4 billion from indirect
taxes.
Subtract that S24 billion Of
toxes from the ST billion to
be spent and you get $50 bill
lion, which IS the amount Of
additional money to be beg
eed, borrowed or stolen if the
munitions makers are not to
be paid off in printing press
lOUs. OF this $50 billion,
about $40 billion can be &C
counted for. An increase in
social security deductions is
planned, TO roise an additional
81 billion or q totoI Of S. bill
lion O year, Then about S. bill
lion more, TO make the $40
billion, can be roised by soIes
Of government securities 10 in
suronce companies and sOV-
ings banks.

PRESSURE VICTIMS

PRESSURE VICTIMS
The standing Of Congress with the
public seems to sink lower almost doy
by doy. From an attitude OF tolerance
we have shifted to one, OF dlsresPect
and, Of Iote, contempt.
Individual members Of both houses
stand out above the general low level.
We know, from personal ocquont-
once. that congressman represent q
foir cross section Of the American
bodv polite. Yet as O nation we tend
to have light regard for Congress os q
body.
Thot is one reason why we re-eIect
members whose conduct has offended
US qrievousIy. Except now and then,
voters take the attitude it doesn't mat
ter whom we elect. We have seen SO
many apparently good men degenerate
In Congress craven attitude that, when
election time rolls around, we follow
the easy course, and let the roscoIs
stoy in.
There are many reasons for the sod
decline in the repute Of our Congress.
Most immediate Of the superficial ex-
cuses, perhaps, is its long subseViency
to the presidency
But Congress would not have be-
come q rubber stamp for the White
House if its members as group had
not already ceased to be statesmen and
transformed themselves into $4,000
o-yeor messenger boys.
For years now congressman have
walked the sIockwire among pressure
groups.
Beginning with q presumably sin
cere desire to further the interests Of
unfortunate or oppressed groups, con-
gressonoI bIocs have drifted inevitably
into becoming servants Of the alleged
"leoders" Of special interests.
But too often these Headers" are
phonies, seIf-seeking or misguided or
both. So the bloc congressman -
which includes most Of them - have
been risIed into working for special in
terest benefits, ontogonistic TO the
general welfare, which often the sDe-
cioI interests do not really seek or
want
illustrations? Plenty
Much labor legislation. Workers
ore willing to sacrifice to the limit to
win this war, but timd Congress has
needed misrepresentation labor lead
ers" and given workers unosked y pro-
lection" OF the expense Of the war out
put.
Formers ore willing to sacrifice.
But robbity Congress listens to So
called form spokesman" and refuses
to treat formers as IoyoI, give-unti-it-
hurts-like-heI Americans.
Industry is ready to sacrifice, and
taxpayers, trodesnen and consumers.
But Congress fingers scondoIousIy for
behind this nations war fervor.
The success Of democracy rests on
q workable legislature We might al
most as we'll lose this war as lose Con-
oress.
We can save Congress if IFS MEM
bers will owoken to the foct thot by
plQNinQ the nressllre nrnlIn nnrnn tho,.

LOOK OUT

That leaves SAB billion still
TO be raised. If all that SAB
billion IS roised by borrowing
from the banks, look out for
initiation. That means simply
putting O lot more money IN
circulation. It would m O n
price controls would have 10
be expanded, overall rotion-
ing might have to be applied,
the avoidance Of an extensive
bootleg or black market would
be practically impossible and
rotionine and price tixin g
would have to be continued
otter the war is over.
The only solution, therefore,
would seem TO be some plan
Of borrowing this SAB billion
directly from the people, tax
ing it out Of their income and
so reducing their spending
power.
Take look at the picture
from the income side Of the
ledger. The generally accept
ed figure on national income
for the next fiscoI year is ST.
billion. Subtract from that the
$40 billion Of direct taxes to
be levied, and you get q net
income figure Of SlO7 Bill
lion.
II is estimated that the
amount Of civilian goods avail
able for purchase this next
yeor - food, clothing, shell
ter, furniture, omuse m N t s
ond so on - will be around
$40 billion. Subtract that from
your SLOT billion and you
have q remainder Of S37 bill
lion. This is excess spending
power, or the so-coIled intIo-
tionory eop. If this S37 bill
lion could be applied to fl
.noncine the war, it would be
necessary to borrow only 50
billion more from the banks.
TRICK
Getting this S37 billion out
OF circulation by enforced SOW
ing is the trick thot has TO be
performed, somehow. SoIes Of
war bonds and stamps ore
running at only about S. bill
lion O yeor Multiplying thot
seven and O holt times by VOL

Of the question.
