HOW SHALL WE PAY FORTHE WAR? A Constructive Criticism on the House Revenue Bill.

LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES

Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes at the Outset of War Are Disadvantageous Great Britain Example Worthy of Emulation How the Taxes Should Be Apportioned. By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, McVlckar Professor of Political Economy, Columbia University. On May 23. 1917, the House of Representatives passed an act "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill as presented by the Comcittee of Ways and Means, the additional revenue to be derived was estimated at 810,420,000. Tbe amendment to the Income tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, was expected to yield another I -10,000.-000 or $50,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: I. How much should be raised by taxation? II. In what manner should this Bum be raised? I. How Much Should Be Raised by Taxation? How was the figure of $1,800,000,000 arrived at? The Answer is simple. Whenthe Secretary of the Treasury came to estimate the additional war expenses for the year 1917-18, he calculated that they would amount to some $t,G00,000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3,000,000,000 was to be utilized for the domestic purposes, f Thinking that 4t would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000.000. There are two extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy. The one !a that all war expenditures should be defrayed by loans, and the other Is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by taxes. Each theory is untenable. It Is indeed true that the burdens of the war should be borne by the present 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 tbe second place, when expenditures approach the gigantic sums of present-day warfare, the tax-only policy would require more than the total surplus of social income. "Were this absolutely necessary, th'e ensuing haToc In the economic life of tbe community 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 impracticable. Secretary McAdoo had the right instinct and highly commendable courage in deciding that a substantial portion, at least, of the revenues should be derived from taxation. But when be bit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent, that Is, of raising one-half of all domestic war expenditures by taxes, the question arises whether he did not go too far. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all a purely business proposition. Not to rely to a large extent on loans at the outset oi 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 disarranga business, damp enthusiasm and restrict tbe spirit of enterprise at

rthe very time when the opposite Is

needed. 3. Excessive taxes on incomes will deplete the surplus available for investments and Interfere with the placing of the enormous loans which will be necessary in any event 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the incomes whictt are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educational and philanthropic enterprises. Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would be greatest. 5. Excessive taxation at the outset' of the war will reduce the elasticity available for the increasing demand that are soon to come. Great Britain' 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 notcb. During the second year she raised by new 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 tbe war as Great Britain did in the third year it would suffice to raise by taxation l,2r.0,000.000. 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 opinion, be the ma lira am.

In considering ITia apportionment ol the extraordinary burden of taxes iu war times certain scientific principles are definitely established: How Taxes 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 according to his ability to pay and according 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 possible on articles of quasi-luxury rather than on those of necessity. (3) Excises should be imposed as far as possible upon commodities in the hands of the final consumer rather than upon the articles which 6erve primarily as raw material for further production. (4) Taxes upon business should be imposed as far as possible upon net earnings rather than upon gross receipts or capital invested. (5) Taxes upon Income which will necessarily be severe should be both differentiated and graduated. That Is, there should be a distinction between earned and unearned incomes and there 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 objections which have been urged above. (6) The excess profits which are due to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable source of revenue during war times. But the principle upon which these war-profit taxe are laid must be equitable in theory and easily calculable In practiceThe Proposed Income Tax. Tbe 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 wat the income tax does not exceed 42t per cent It could easily be shown that a tax with rates on moderate Incomes substantially less than In Great Britain, and on the larger incomes about as high, would yield only s'ightly less thai the $532,000,000 originally estimated In the House bilL It: Is to be hoped that the Senate will reduce the total rate on the highest incomes to 34 per cent, or at most to 4C per cent and that at the same time If will reduce the rate on the smaller in comes derived from personal or profes slonal earnings. If the war continue we shall have tc depend more and more upon the income tax. By imposing excessive ratei now we are not only endangering th future, but are inviting all manner oi 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 unworkable criterion for the excess-profits tax. (3) It proceeds to an nnheard-ol height in the Income tax. (4) It imposes unwarranted burdens upon the consumption of the community. (5) It is calculated to throw buslnesi into confusion by levying taxes on grosj receipts Instead of upon commodities. ( It fails to make a proper use ol stamp taxes. (7) It follows an unscientific systen in its flat rate on Imports. (Si It includes a multiplicity of pet tye.nd unlucrative taxes, the vexatious ness of which is out-of all proportion ti the revenue they produce. e f The fundamental lines on which tht House bill should be modified are sum. med up herewith: (1) The amount of new taxation should be limited to $1.250,000.000 oi at the outset to $1,500,000,000. To dc 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 Government in time cf stress. (2) The excess-profits tax based upon a sound system ought to yield abont $500,000,000. (3) The income-tax schedule ought tc be revjsed 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 calculation shows that an Income tax of

i 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 nouse bill, and with an Improved automobile tax, will yield over $1,250,000,000, which is the amount of money thought desirable. The above program would be in harmony with an approved scientific system. It will do away with almost all of the complaints that are being urged against the present It will refrain from taxing fhe 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 obviate Interference with business and will keep unimpaired the social productivity of the community. It will establish a Just balance between loans and taxes and will not succumb to tbe danger of approaching either the tax-only policy or the loanonly policy. Above all. it will keep an undisturbed elastic margin, whicb, must be more and more heavily drawn opjm as the war proceeds.
