waar ean PAGE Six THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE Tae ~TMWMENSE SUMS. ARE SET ASIDE FOR NEXT YEAR Congressman Mondell Discusses Appropriations, Believed to Exceed Probable Ex- penditures in War Federal appropriations for the present fiscal year ‘amount to more than twenty-four billions of dollars, and since the war began, to more than forty billions, according toa statement of Congressman Mondell, a member of the Appropriations Com- mittee of the House of Representa- tives, which appears in the Congres- sional Record of August-8th. This is more than twenty times the pre- war expenditure for a like period. The Wyoming Congressman, re- viewing the appropriations, expendi- tures and revenues since the war be- gan, called attention to the fact that our actual expenditures for the first yeer of the war or until July 1st were several millions below the appropria- tions and amounted to approximately thirteen and one-half billions. The total of these expenditures and the appropriations and authorizations for the fiscal year 1919, covering the first two years of the war or up to June 30th next, amount to more than forty-three billions, but the total ac- tual expenditure is likely to be some- what less or not to exceed forty bil- lions for the two years. REVENUES Mr. Mondell called attention to the fact that the total of Federal reve- nues from all sources of taxation amounted to somewhat less than four and a half billions for the fiscal year which ended June 30th. “Assuming the same revenues for the present fiscal year this would be less than one-fifth of our expenditure, and not a sufficient sum of cash receipts to safely sustain the public credit, thus necessitating the additional revenues to be provided for in the revenue bill now being considered by the Ways and Means Committee.” With reference to the new revenue bill, Mr. Mondell expressed the opin- ion that while considerable additional revenues would be necessary, it was doubtful if so large a sum as eight billions of dollars could bé raised by taxation without danger of halting development in enterprises involving unusual hazard unless the excess profits taxes were carefully drawn to meet the conditions surrounding such enterprises. He referred to oil de- velopment and to the live stock in- dustry as carried on in the ranch and range country as enterprises of this character. REVENUES FROM TARIFF In his review of the situation with regard to revenue, Mr. Mondell sug- gested that this would be a good time to begin to ‘again makethe foreigner pay a considerable portion of the bur- den of taxation falling so heavily up- on our people. He called attention to the fact that our imports for the fiscal year that closed June 30th amounted to $2,946,022,363, the largest volume of imports in our history, and emphasized the fact that the customs duties received from this vast volume of importations amounted only to $179,998,383, or about 6 per cent of the value of the imports. With regard to this situation, Mr. Mondell said: ‘Leaving aside all questions of protection or free trade, it is perfectly scandalous that in a time of war-which is calling for the most heroic sacrifices in men and money, and compelling our people to pinch, conserve and economize in ey- ery direction, the foreigners should secure the benefit of our wonderful market free of all tax on many ar- ticles and on the payment of a ridicul- ously low tax on those articles on which customs duties are levied.” Mr. Mondell calls «attention to the fact that on ‘the basis of our present importations, customs duties no high- er than those of the last Republican tariff bill would bring a revenue of nearly $600,000,000, practically all of which would be paid by the im- porter without added cost to the con- sumer. On this latter point Mr. Mon- dell said that whatever might be one’s opinion as to the effect of tariff on prices in normal times, no intelligent person would seriously contend that with prices keyed to a war basis, reasonable tariff taxes would have any apperciable effect on prices. The Wyoming Congressman sug- gests that this is the time for the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee to forget their fear of protection and aid in laying a goodly tariff for revenue.
