BOARD OF TRADE
ON RIGHT TRACK
REQUESTS GENERAL MANAGER
T. & P. TO SEND TROOP TRAINS
VIA BONHAM.
The Board of Trade has written to
the Texas & Pacific railroad’s general
manager, J. H. Elliott, Dallas, Tex.,
asking him if it is possible to send
some of the troop trains through Bon-
ham, both coming into and leaving
Texas.
At first thought this does not ap-
pear to be much, but when you think
about it a little while it means a lot.
If the trains come and go over the
T, C. division of the T. & P„ it means
that the train crews of this division
will handle the equipment. That
means extra pay in the pockets of
ithe men, as railroad crews work on a
'mileage basis. As these men are Bon«=
bam citizens, it works out readily that
^ Bonham people will be benefited finan-
cially by having the trains come
through this city.
This is not all. It would be a good
advertisement for Bonham for the
(trains to come through here. The
boys would naturally see something of.
the ‘city,, and as in the instance of one
troop train, if they had time would
coine up town and take a look at the
business section. >
There is another feature, and it is
by no means the least. The people of
Bonham are spending their means on
the war, just like the rest of the
country, and they naturally would like
to see some of the soldiers Uncle Sam
is sending to the front. This state-
ment is proven by the fact that
great many of our people were at the
station to see the soldiers through
here some time since, there being
three trains of them sent over this
line. Thousands of people went to
the station to see the boys in khaki
on their way to the Mexican border.
The Favorite thinks the Board of
Trade is on the right track, and heart-
ily commends the move.

A good friend stands by yolt when

test. Mr. West endorsed Doan’s over
four years ago and again confirms
the story. Could y^u ask for more

Robert West, painter, 620 W. 4th
street, Bonham, says: “I had been
Subject to kidney trouble fronr child-
hood and as I grew older, different
symptoms developed until I became
helpless and could not ffiove. I suf-
fered from a painful back and weak-
ness of my kidneys. For days at a
tim© the kidney secretions were re-
tarded and painful in passage. My
sight was affected and headaches add-
ed to my misery. At last Doan’s
Kidney Pills were broflght to my no-
tice and I began using them. They
went to the root of the trouble and I
was soon restored to good health.”
(Statement given Feb. 1, 1912.)
Mr. West confirmed his former en-
dorsement on April 10, 1915, saying:
“I still retain my faith in Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills. I use them occasionally
and always receive prompt relief.”

HOW SHALL WE
PAY FOR THE WAR?
A Constructive Criticism on the
House Revenue Bill,
LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES
Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes a1
the Outset of War Are Disadvantage-
ous-Great Britain Example Werthy
of Emulation—How the Taxi* Shoulc
Be Apportioned.
By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN*
McVlckar Ptotesfeof &£ Political Econ-
&niy; Columbia University.
On May 23, 1917, the Hbuse of ttejj
Fesentatives passed ad act "to providi
revenue to defray war expenses and
for other purposes.” In the original
bill as presented by the Committee oi
Ways and Means, the additional reve
nue to be derived was estimated at $1,
810.420.000. The amendment to the in
come tax, which was tacked on to th«
bill during the discussion in the House,
was expected to yield another $40,000,
000 or $50,000,000,
Ih discussing th§ Schists bill,
problems arise:
t. How much should be raised bj
taxation?
II. In what manner should this Sun
be raised?
1., How Much Should Be Raised by
Taxation?
How was the figure of $1,800,000,000
arrived at? The answer is simple. When
the Secretary of the Treasury came t<
estimate the additional war expenses
for the year 1917-18, he calculated thai
they would amount to some $6,600,-
000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was tc
be allotted to the allies, and $3,600,-
000,000 was to be utilized for the do
mestic purposes. Thinking that il
would be a fair proposition to dividfi
this latter sum between loahs and
taxes, he concluded that the fiindtin!
td be raised by taxes waS |l,8O0;(j00;
000.
There are two extreme theories, each
of which may be dismissed with scant
courtesy. The one is that all war ex-
penditures should be defrayed by loans,
and the other is that all war expend!
tures should be defrayed by taxes
Each theory is untenable.
It is indeed true that the burdens ol
the war should be borne by the pres-
ent rather than the future generation;
but this does not mean that they should
be borne by this year’s taxation.
Meeting all war expenses by taxation
makes the taxpayers in one or two
years bear the burden of benefits that
ought to be distributed at least over a
decade within the same generation,
In the second place, When expehdi-
tures approach the gigantic sums of
present-day warfare, the tax-only pol-
icy would require more than the total
surplus of social income. Were this
absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav-
oc in the economic life of the communi-
ty would have to be endured. But
where the disasters are so great and
at the same time so unnecessary, the
tax-only policy may be declared im
practicable.
Secretary McAdoo had the right in-
stinct and highly commendable cour-
age in deciding that a substantial por-
tion, at least, of the revenues should
be derived from taxation. But when
he hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent.,
that is, of raising one-half of all do-
mestic war expenditures by taxes, the
question arises whether he did not go
too far.
The relative proportion of loans tc
taxes is after all a purely business
proposition. Not to rely to a large ex-
tent on loans at the outset of a war is
a mistake.
Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes.
The disadvantages of excessive taxes
at the outset of the war are as follows,
1. Excessive taxes on consumption
will cause popular resentment.
2. Excessive taxes on industry will
disarrange business, damp enthusiasm
and restrict the spirit of enterprise at
the very time when the opposite is
needed.
3. Excessive taxes on incomes will de-
plete the surplus available for invest-
ments and interfere with the placing of
the enormous loans which will be neces-
sary in any event.
4. Excessive taxes on wealth will
cause a serious diminution of the in-
comes which are at present largely
drawn upon for the support of educa-
tional and philanthropic enterprises.
Moreover, these sources of support
would he dried up precisely at the time
when the need- would be greatest.
5. Excessive taxation at the outset of
‘.he war will reduce the elasticity avail-
able for the increasing demands that
are soon to come.
Great Britain’s Policy.
Take Great Britain as an example.
During the first year of the war she
increased taxes only slightly, in order
to keep industries going at top notch.
During the second year she raised by
tiew taxes only 9 per cent, of her war
expenditures. During the third year
she levied by additional taxes (over
and above the pre-war level) only
slightly more than 17 per cent, of her
war expenses.
If we should attempt to do as much
in the first year of the war as Great
Britain did in the third year it would
suffice to raise by taxation $1,250,000,-
000. If, in order to be absolutely on
the safe side, it seemed advisable to
increase the sum to $1,500,000,000, this
should, in our ©pinion, be the maxi-,
mum.
Iii considering the apportionment of
the extraordinary burden of taxes in
war times certain scientific principles
are definitely established:
HoW Texes Should Be Apportioned.
(1) The burden of taxes must be
spread as far as possible over the
whole community so as to cause each
individual to share in the sacrifices ac-
cording to his ability to pay and ac-
cording to his share in the Government.
(2) Taxes on consumption, which are
necessarily borne by the community at
large, should be Imposed as far as pos-
sible on articles of quasi-luxury rather
than on those of necessity.
(3) Excises should be imposed as far1
tts possible upon commodities in the
hands of the final consumer rather
than upon the articles Which serve pri-
marily as raw material for further
production.
(4) Taxes Upon business should be
imposed as far as possible upon net
earnings rather than upon gross re-:
ceipts or capital Invested.
(6) Taxes Upon Income which will;
necessarily be sejtcfe should be both j
differentiated add graduated. That is,
there should be a distinction between
earned and unearned incomes and theft
should be a higher rate upon the larger
incomes. It is essential, however, not
to make the income rate so excessive.
as to lead to evasion, administrative
difficulties, or to the more fundamental j
objections which have been urged
above.
(6) The excess profits which are due
to the Waf constitute the most obvious
arid reasonable source of revenue dur-
ing war times. But the principle upon
which these war-profit taxes are) laid
must be equitable in theory find easily
calculable in practice.
The Proposed Income Tax.
The additional income tax as passed
by the House runs up to a rate of 60
per cent. This is a sum unheard of in
the history of! civilized society. It must
be remembered that it was only after
the first year of the war that Great
Britain increased her income tax to the
maximum of 34 per cent., and that
even now in the fourth year of the waf
the income tax does not exceed 421/]
per cent.
It could easily be shown that a tax
with rates on moderate incomes sub-
stantially less than in Great Britain,
and on the iarger incomes about as
high; wqtild yield Only slightly less than
the $532,God,(X$ Originally estimated in'
the House bill.
It is to be hoped that the Senate Will
reduce the total rate on the highest lln-
comes to 34 per cent, or at most to 40
per cent, and that at the same time It
will reduce the rate on the smaller in-
comes derived from personal or profes-
sional earnings.
If the war continues we shall have to
depend more and more upon the in-
come tax. By imposing excessive rates
now we are not only endangering the
future, but are inviting all manner of
difficulties which even Great Britain
has been able to escape.
Conclusion.
The House bill contains other funda-
mental defects which may be summed
up as follows ‘
(1) It pursues an erroneous principle
In imposing retroactive taxes.
(2) It selects an unjust and unwork-
able criterion for the excess-profits tax.
(3) It proceeds to an unheard-of
height in the income tax.
(4) It imposes unwarranted burdens
upon the consumption of the commu-
nity.
(5) It is calculated to throw business
into confusion by levying taxes on gross
receipts instead of upon commodities.
(6) It fails to make a proper use of
stamp taxes.
(7) It follows an unscientific system
in its flat rate on imports.
(8) It includes a multiplicity of pet-
ty and unlucrative taxes, the vexatious-
ness of which is out of all proportion to
the revenue they produce.
*******
The fundamental lines on which the
House bill should be modified are sum-
med up herewith:
(1) The amount of new taxation
should be limited to $1,250,000,000—or
at the outset to $1,500,000,000. ;To do
more than this would be as unwise as
it is unnecessary. To do even this
would be to do more than has ever
been done by any civilized Govern-
ment in time of stress.
(2) The excess-profits tax based upon
a sound system ought to yield about
$500,000,000.
(3) The income-tax schedule ought tc
be revised with a lowering of the rates
on earned incomes below $10,000, and
with an analogous lowering of the
rates on the higher incomes, so as not
to exceed 34 per cent. A careful cal-
culation shows that an Income tax of
this kind would yield some $450,000,-
000 additional.
(4) The tax on whisky and tobacco
ought to remain approximately as it is,
with a yield of about $230,000,000.
These three taxes, together with the
stamp tax at even the low rate of the
House bill, and with an improved au-
tomobile tax, will yield over $1,250,-
000,000, which is the amount of money
thought desirable.
The above program would be in har-
mony with an approved scientific sys-
tem. It will do away with almost all
of the complaints that are being urged
against the present. It will refrain
from taxing the consumption of the
poor.
It will throw a far heavier burden
upon the rich, but will not go to the
extremes of confiscation. It will “ob-
viate interference with business and
will keep unimpaired the social pro-
ductivity of the community.
It will establish a just balance be-
tween loans and taxes and will not
succumb to the danger of approaching
either the tax-only policy or the loan-
only policy. Above all, it will keep an
undisturbed elastic margin, which
must be more and more heavily drawn
upon as the war proceeds.
