Out of the $4,780,829,510 appropri- ated by the last congress, $3,719,362,- 777 went for expenses due to war. This includes $1,017,500,000 for inter- est on the war debt, $287,500,000 for sinking- fund for retirement of debt, $800,000,000 war bonus paid the rail- roads; $485,693,126 for the war de- partment; $453,578,251 for the navy department and smaller sums for war insurance, pensions, hospitals, council of national defense.

It is a fact, however, that the govern- ment, in selling these ships to private owners, is taking losses of millions, which should rightly be charged to war expense. The $1,051,466,733 left after paying actual war expenses included $144,- 000,000 for the United States depart- ment of agriculture. How this ap- propriation looks, compared with the total appropriations for war purposes, is shown by the diagram at the head of this article. : The total appropriations, divided evenly among the 105,000,000 people " in the United States, mean a tax of $45.50 for every man, womam and child, or $227.50 for a family of five. Of the $227.50 the appropriations at- tributable directly to war (excluding the shipping appropriations) are $177. Shift Taxes From Rich to Poo: Startling Program of Tax Changes Worked Out by Big Business and Approved by Farm Bureau Federation 2| EDUCTION of taxes on #| big business and 3 shift- ing of the tax burden to the shoulders of the con- sumer is the program outlined for the next ses- sion of congress by the national indus- trial conference board, which, as its literature states, “represents the busi- ness and manufacturing interests of the United States.” At a recént session of this board the following program was laid out for congress: : Repeal of excess profits tax. This will free businesses making exorbitant profits of taxes totaling $900,000,000 a year. Limiting of surtaxes on reinvested incomes to 20 per cent and allowing losses in business income in one year to be deducted from the tax for the | next year. The loss from this source will be $280,000,000. Both of these forms of taxation, to- taling $1,180,000,000 a year, are now ‘borne by profiteers and by the ex- tremely wealthy. To make up for the losses in revemue from these sources the national industrial conference board has proposed the following new taxes: Increasing first class.post- % age rate to 3 cents ......_.... $72,000,000 Increasing cigargtte tax 67 per cent ... il 70,000,000 Increasing other tobacco taxes 33 per cent .............. Increasing musical instru- ments, ‘- candy, chewing gum and other “luxury” taxes to 10 per cent.......... 70,000,000 Increasing taxes on ' per- fumes, cosmetics, ete."...... Special license tax ‘of 50 cents per horsepower on all motor vehicles ............ 100,000,000 Gasoline, 1 cent per gallon.. 45,000,000 Sugar, 2 cents per pound ....200;000,000 8,000,000 6,500,000 Coffee, 2 cents per pound.... 28,000,000 Tea, 10 cents per pound.....::.. 10,000,000 All of these taxes, totaling more " than $600,000,000 a year, will be borne by the common people of America. This is an increased tax of $30 for each family in the United State®—in order that profiteers and the idle rich may escape paying their surplus profits and income taxes. In place of the $1,180,000,000 a year of which business is to be relieved by repealing the excess profits tax and amending the income tax, the national industrial conference board proposes to levy only one-half of this amount on business. Increases in the corporation income tax totaling $550,000,000 are Proposed by raising the rateto 16 per cent, while quadrupled stamp tax rates will bring in an estimated $134,- 000,000. Both of these taxes, however, can be passed on to the general pub- lic much more easily than excess prof- _its taxes and income taxes, which is why the business interests are seek- ing the change. The American Farm Bureau federa- tion was represented in the meeting of - the national industrial conference board which proposes this program in favor of big business. ' In publicity matter put out telling the results of the conference the federation takes to- itself much credit for the proposed changes in tax laws and takes the ground that the approval of this pro- gram by “big business” makes it cer- tain that it will be adopted by con- gress. ! . The federation publicity matter states: ; “The first skirmish in the battle to revise the federal tax laws has been won by the American Farm Bureau federation. * * * ‘Tt has put itself in a position where the big business in- terests of the cquntry know and re- spect its powers.” ot ¢ PAGE FOURTEBN ADVERTISEMENTS 2 Simple Mixture _ Makes Hens Lay by By W.
