ney with County Attorney experience and is the
attorney for the northeastern Montana Rural Elec-
trification Co-operatives that were recently approved
and which will be outstanding post war enterprises of
constructive Importance to the further development
of Valley County.
He has personally experienced the hardships of the
farmer and the difficult economic conditions con-
fonted by labor, business and professional men. True
to the hardy American pioneer spirit, he does not
know retreat and with his independent public spirited
character he is often called the peoples friend and
the poor man lawyer.
His record for efficiency and results as an impartial
prosecuting attorney is excellent and upon public
issues and development enterprises he has always sup
ported constructive measures and uplifting social ac-
tivities. He has always been active in Civic. Fraternal
and Farm organizations and consistently supported
welfare assistance and old age pensions and this
Western man is always found loyal, considerate and
a real friend to all fellowmen regardless of political

Wartime Tax Methods
Discussed by Taft
In Radio Forum
Ohio Republican Senutor
Outlines Means Of Helping
Meet Record Cost

Methods of taxation to help meet
the record cost Of the war
were discussed last night by Senator
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio in the
National Radio Forum arranged by
The Star and broadcast by the blue
network. The Senator's subject was
Taxation Today"
The address, heard locally at Q
o'clock over Station WMAL, follows:
One of the most difficult and un-
pleasant Jobs that Congress has is to
levy taxes. The President and his sub
ordinates apparently get some pleas
ure is spending money no matter
what it is spent for, but no one likes
the Job of taking it away from the
people so that they can have it to
spend. While every one admits IN
theory the necessity for paying
taxes, there are very few who do not
claim that they are being singled
out inequitably and unfairly for an
especially heavy burden. Witness
after witness appearing before our
Finance Committee begins his talk
in some such way as this, I'VE be-
lieve in heavy taxes and wish to pay
our share, but" and then he goes on
to explain how unfair the proposal Is
to him. Nevertheless, the people to-
day are more willing to pay taxes
than they ever have been before.
Taxes are already heavy. The
first question is why we have to have
more taxes. The answer to that one
is comparatively simple. We have
to have more money to pay the tre-
mendous bills required by this war.
It looks as If we would spend $751;
900 900 900 In the year beginning July
l for war purposes alone. The Gov
ernment has to pay real money for
the munitions and the equipment
and all the different kinds OF war
expenditures. Men won't work for
nothing in the munitions plants or
in the mines or on the farm, as they
have to do in Germany. AS mat
ter of fact, we don't want them to.
They must be paid real money that
they can spend, and the Govern
ment has to get that money by tax
ing or by borrowing from some one.
Printing Money Disastrous.
There are some who suggest that
the Government might just print the
money. That has been tried often
enough, and experience shows that
it always brings about a tremendous
increase in prices, doubling or
tripling our present prices or even
more. Certainly it IS good deal
better to pay taxes than to pay twice
as much for everything you have to
buy. Governments have sometimes
tried to borrow the whole cost OF
the war without taxing, but If you
borrow too much, it has to some ex-
tent the same effect as printing
paper money, and the people pay the
cost of the war in increased prices
for food, clothing, rent and other
things, a heavier burden even than
taxes. The truth is that the flnan-
cial burden of war. like the physical
burden of war, like the casualty
lists, falls upon the generation
which is fighting the war, In one way
or another.
We cannot pass on to our de-
scendantS the cost OF war, but If we
handle our military operations
badly, or handle our foreign policy

SENATOR TAFT.

ono shall profit from the war, there
can be no disagreement on this
principle. When we consider that
We are requiring millions OF men
to leave their homes and even their
families to 60 to all sections OF the
world and put their lives in peril to
defend the rest OF us at a mere sub
sistence wage, those who stay at
home ought to be glad II they come
out of the war as well of as they
went in. This Is the basis, first,
of the excess profits tax. No corpo-
ration and no individual In business
ought to make more than he made
In normal times. We ought to take
away the excess before we begin
to consider what the normal tax on
pre-war income ought to be.
In principle the excess profits tax
ought to be 100 per cent. Human
nature being what it is, and since
this removes all incentive to run a
profitable business with economy
and efficiency, I should favor a 90
per cent tax on excess profits in
stead of the rs suggested by the
Treasury. I believe that a 10 per
cent interest in these profits would
supply just about as much incentive
to economy as Is per cent interest.
We should apply the same princi-
pie to wages and prices. AS a gen.
eral principle, prices should only
be increased in proportion to the
increase in costs, and wage rates
should only be increased in proper
ton to increases in the cost of
living. There is no way to reach
prices and wages by taxation, so
we have tried to eliminate excess
profits in these fields by price con-
troll and by a rather indefinite and
unsatisfactory control of wage rates.
In all three fields of profits and
prices and wages we have to permit
the adjustment OF depressed and
unfair conditions before we take the
excess. An increase in wages must
be permitted in industries or in
dividual cases where they were
unduly low. Farm prices must be
permitted to increase to a relation

badly, or handle our Finances badly.
we will not only pay the cost Of this
war ourselves, but we will pass on to
our children q world In which there
no longer exists the freedom or the
opportunity or the standards Of nv-
ing which we ourselves have en-
joyed. I am convinced that In the
long run, regardless Of appearances.
the easiest way to pay for 1t Is by
taxation to the heaviest extent that
will not disrupt the war effort.
How much should we raise in
taxes? What percentage of our
total income should be pad in
taxes? Well. this fiscal year we
are only paving about $4,000, ,000.-
900 to the Federal Government,
while 1t is spending $4,000, ,000, ,000
The other go per cent is being bor-
rowed. If Mr.. Morgenthau's pro-
posals are enacted, the Federal Gov
ernment will collect In taxes S24,-

My criticism of the program IS that

believe we ought to raise half the
cost in taxes. I entirely agree with
Secretary Morgenthau's own state
ment, and I quote. Il should like
to urge, therefore, the adoption and
attainment of the goal the Presi-
dent has set, not as a maximum but
as the very least that the American
people can afford to provide at this
critical time"
How shall this tremendous tax
burden be distributed? That is the
most difficult and controversial
question. No one can be sure that
he is right in his conclusion, but
there are certain principles which
ought to underlie the decision. In
the first place, everybody ought to
contribute something. In the sec
ond place, those who are better of
ought to contribute more than those
who are less well of. In the third
place, no one should expect to profit
from the war, in increased net re-
turns from profits, dividends, in
terests, rents, wages or prices.
Taking first the principle that no

every family shall be reduced to .
gross income Of $2,500 year, which
will be approximately the average
after Federal taxes. That would re-
quire an economic revolution and
upset most of our normal activities.
It would upset the whole production
program, so essential to success in
the war.
There Is no doubt whatever that
with the present rates every family
with an income of $1,000 or more
is going to have to adjust drastically
its whole standard Of living, even at
the proposed tax rates Any greater
adjustment would probably produce
dislocations in every human rela-
tionship, which might destroy the
very industrial and commercial
structure to which we are looking
for future taxes.
There are those who feel that
Evening star., 1942-03-24

We should raise the entire war cost
In taxes. They point out that our
national income next year will be
lis billion dollars, whereas the
amount Of goods and services avail
able for civilian use will be only
SIS billion. In other words, the peo-
pie who get lis billion won't be able
to find things to buy Of value
greater than IS billion. Why not
make them pay all the excess in
taxes, 1t Is said. Every one will be
Just as well off as before, except
for the things they can't get any

AIRPLANES AND FUTURE

If anyone doubts that aviation is
reshaping our conceptions of time
and space, he need only note the
time required for 1t. Gen. George
III. Brett, Allied air force COM
mander in the southwest Pacific, to
fly from Australia to San Francisco.
The fight was made in the amazing
time of 36 hours, 10 minutes.
In other words, Gen. Brett was
able to make the trip from Down
Under to San Francisco in consider
ably less time than is required for
the swiftest of our streamline trains
to go from New York to the Pacific
coast. He made it in less time than
the average motorist needs to drive
from Columbus to, say, southern
Florida.
Furthermore, flying time between
European ports and New York has
been Whitfield down to around 20
hours or less, and airplanes show
similar performances between
America and far-away South Amer
lean ports, Africa and elsewhere. 1t
is no longer possible to regard any
