HIGH TAX BENEFITS.
Universal comment has been
mused by the announcement that
the government departments will
seed :5,coo,cco,uoo,000 for the «next
m: year. That is the year begin-
ning next. July. The nation has got
med to huge budgets during the war
”rs, but it-ie surprising and dis—
couraging to have so big an estimate
do become effective about two years '
after the fighting'has ended. Before
fie war $1,000,000.000 a year was con- ,
aidered liberal. ’
There is a. natural demand that this
minute he pared down. Those bll'
«lions of course. will be paid by taxa-
fion, and people are getting tired of
mes. The chairman of the House
Appropriations committee says that
CongreSS must cut to $4,000,000.000.
It! Congress can really save a clean
billion of that sum, it will be a
notable achievement, deserving the
praise of every cillzcn~thol ls, if tho
saving is effected merely bywoultlng
«out items that represent extravagant
outlay, or expenditure of any sort that
i
(can properly be pmlponcd.
It is assuredly no time lo encourage
thriftlcésness in any form. public or
private. The government as usual,
Lbas set the public many a. bad or
simple along this line. It ought to set
a good example now. The moral ef-
tect of the demonstrable saving of a
billion dollars by Congress would be
to stimulate the saving. perhaps, of
~covet-in billions by states, clues and
‘mdlvlduals. ' . ' '
One fact, however, must not be lost
sight of. The war, financially at least,
39 hr from ended. It has to be liqui-
dated. The big war debt already in-
mad but! to be taken care of, and
die diminishing but still conelclm‘ublo
unease of getting back to a peace
Dania have to be paid. There is no
way of paying them except by taxes,
income farm or other. Sooner or
hter. the whole warblll, principal and
mlerest, has to come out of the tar
_ ”yer-3’ pocket.
The United States so far has paid
a larger proportion of its war expens-
is by current taxation than has any
fiber belligerent. 'Thls is a wise and
thrifty policy. The mort the people
pay now, the quicker they will get the
whole thing paid, the less interest
they will have to meet from year to
your. and tht sooner they will get rld
of this financial inflation that is so
largely responsible for high prices
and unsettled voices. '
