income for the year 1943 will
reach $40, 000,0 100000.
These figures indicate, without
doubt, that the people of this coun-
try are able to pay increased taxes.
Any congressman in Washington,
with ordinary intelligence, knows
that increased national income
must make larger contribution
to meet the Governments yearly
expenditures.
All the discussion in Washing
ton about the Ruml plan, the Carl
son Bill and the Foran Bill is
nonsense SO war as any reduction
in the amount of money that the
taxpayer must pay to- the Govern
ment is concerned
While the debate centers around
the technical question as. to
whether incomes taxes shall be
figured on income received in
1912 or 1913, the net result for the
taxpayer is that the Government
needs more money, the .taxpay
ers income is increasing and it
is only logical that the taxpayer
must pay heavier taxes.
The strange halluclnation that
has spread over the country, due
to the misconception and con-
fusions that center around various
pay-as-you-go plans, is absolutely
amazing. The figures show, be-
yond doubt, not only necessity
for increased taxation but the abil-
ity of the taxpayers of the ma
ton to meet the charges.
How in the world any large
group of citizens have gotten the
idea that, through congressional
legerdemain, taxes will be reduc7
ed, presents an interesting study
in mass psychology.
/. Many of our people are under
the impression that when Con-
gress completes its consideration
of the pending measure the ques-
ton of taxation will be settled.
They forget that the President has
requested that taxes be increased
by $16,000,000,0GO and that Con-
gress will have to devise some
plans to raise approximately this
amount.
Regardless of any concessions
that may be given to taxpayers,
as forgiveness, cancellation or
pay-as-you-go. the need of the
Government for money to finance
the war will make increased taxa
ton inevitable.
1t might as well be understood
by all of US that the only way to
bring into the Treasury something

HEAVIER TAXES CERTAIN
NO PLAN CHANGES FACTS
CONGRESS POOLING AROUND.

The taxpayers of the United
States should not be misled by the
discussion in Congress regarding
various proposals to forgive" and
partially forgive" individual in
come tax liability for 1912.
There is a widespread impress
sion that legislation enacted in
Washington will cancel the tax
payers obligation to the nation
and that this will mean that the
citizens of the country will escape
some of the burdens of taxation
that they anticipated in connection
with the war.
: tits time for US TO consider facts
inN connection with war costs, ma
tional income and taxation. When
they ARE thoroughly understood,
the taxpayer will realize that
there is no escape from heavier
burdens, necessitated by our pres
ent wars.
Expenditures for war activities
for the fiscal year 1912 amounted
to $26,O11, 055, 089. The estimate
for the fiscal year, 1913. is $74,-
coo, 10000 and for 1914 $97 ,000,-
100000. In the fact of these figures,
it is difficult to understand why
anyone could expect that taxes can
be forgiven. cancelled or reduced.
The public debt of the United
States on July LIST. 1912, was ST.
422, 445,l16. The estimate for July
LIST, of this year, is S134,830. 142,
66l and for July LIST, 1914, $780,
549, $50, $40.
The Government of the United
States. including lis war activities
spent S10,692245.7 76. The deficit
for the fiscal year 1913, es'i-
mated at $57, 46l ,252, 915 and for
the year 1914, the deficit will be
ST., 047, 679,923.
IneSe flgureS Snoulu De enough
10 convince any taxpayer that
there is no prospect whatever of
reducing the tax burden that must
be borne. 1t is utter nonsense to
believe that increased war expen-
ditures, resulting in an increase in
the public debt and creating
huge annual deficit, tend to lower
taxes, cancel taxes or the forgive
ness of taxes.
Not only do the figures as to
Government income, expendi-
lures and debts point to heavily
increased taxation, but the in
come received by the people of the
United States suggests that they
are well able to pay increased
taxes.
