He is hypocritical of course in his pres- ent attitude because in the same breath Mr. Mc- Adoo proclaims for the bonus and the reduction of federal taxes, presenting no method or plan of how it is to be accomplished. Other people who have made a life study of government fi- nance, declare it a physical impossibility to pay out money the government does not possess. That the government’s only resource is taxes upon the people in the form of bonds. The issuing of bonds in no sense relieves the people of taxes, it increases them, because of interest that must be paid and accumulations that must be secur. ed to retire the pr ple.

Every man, woman and child knows the truth of the axiom, exe r. |g i i McAdoo, and he is pretending not to bed ate es See hes of the hope of attracting ex-service votes, The|vovson on the nab president is honest and courageous. Ex-seryice men are generally of the same type. If doing his sworn duty becomes an issne in the approaching campaign, then the president will not evade the issue. Upon the tax issue Mr. McAdoo discusses it with the surprising information that the Demo- cratic party has been for reduction eyer sincea’ money to help pay the salary of the officail who takes the money, government will be practically painless and most of the politician’s troubles will be swept away. It is realized that most peo- ple are human enough to resent leaving money somewhere under compulsion and taking noth- ing home to show for it. The theory that direct taxation attracts attention to the government and results in better government is sound but politicians have no use for it. The fact that part of every dollar handled iv spent for taxes, regardless of whether the own er of the dollar pays a cent directly to any goy ernment ,should be clear to everyone. The nat ional industrial conference board has reduced this indirect tax paying process to work. By reference to the 1 financial statement of thc Pennsylvania railroad it finds that the road paid eleven per cent more in taxes than in diy a lends were 250 per cent of the taxes. In the ten-year period, the road’s taxes increased 1 cent. The board finds that at prev: a wage carner now devotes s week's work to pa pay all of his t taxes is plain.

In 1913, the per cent and its dividends decreased sixteen per ling wage rates, and one-fourth ng taxes. In 1913 he could work. Every eleven work- ge and over support one person on the public payroll. Expressed in this way, the reason for the outcry against high that they are paying for an expensive war and a progacmme of costly public improvements, both ordered in full knowledge of the conse- quences, but they have had enough of both. and Coolidge has assured the people of this country that his head is level Philadelphia North American-- With clear perception of public sentiment, the president designated tax reduction as “the paramount service which congress can render to the country,” and there was a distinct challenge to the radicals in his admonition that “to neglect to postpone it, to obstruct it by wu sound proposals,” is to become uw! worthy of public confidence and untrue to public trast.
