We make this prediction: This program will not reduce the taxes of the man or woman now read- ing this editorial. It will not reduce them 60 dol- lars, six dollars, or six cents. Appropriations for 1921 remain what they were, altho there have been sub- mitted to congress certain reduced “estimates” by va- rious departments. This was done after a hasty White House conference when it became apparent that the total of appropria- tions asked wolild set the taxpayers back harder even than they were set back during any war year. But these new estimates do not mean anything. Deficiency appropriation bills will take care of the department_in good time, and it will take as much of the taxpayer's money to meet a deficiency appro- priation as any other kind of appropriation. Foreseeing this © certain deficit, the framers of the program would authorize the secretary of the treas- ury to increase the gov- ernment’s certificates of in- debtedness by a half bil- lion dollars. You will pay that half billion in due time—with added interest. We say your tax won't be reduced 60 dollars or 60 cents, That is, on the theory that you are not one of the war's super - profiteers. They do get out a bit easier. But there are only about 20,000 of them. Their income surtaxes are to be reduced from 65 to 32 per cent, On the other hand, the small manufacturing cor- porations, some 200,000 of them, are to have an aver- age of $600 added to their taxes. There’s the program as it passed the house. Heaven help the party if it likewise passes the senate. Most particularly may heaven help it in November. 1922!
