THE GOVERNMENT WOULD GAIN FAR MORE THAN IT COULD LOSE BY PROVIDING THAT INCOME AND EXCESS PROFITS TAXES MIGHT | BE PAID IN INSTALLMENTS AFTER JUNE 15, R the new Liberty Bonds, to be sold in the Third Liberty Loan Campaign which opens to-morrow, on the first anniversary of ation of al pews pub this Nation's formal declaration of war against Germany, the, Treasury Department announces payment dates specially arranged @o that no one of them will come in June, when there will be a heavy} oon strain upon the financial resources of Americans because of income} and excess profits taxes due June 15, What is this but official admission that for the Government to * collect in the first half of the present year the entire amounts of | these formidable war taxes upon incomes and business profi! to curtail the capacity of the country for absorbing the Third ‘aes Liberty Bond issue as a widely distributed and genuinely popular | a _ loan? Instead of relying upon banks and powerful financial interests to guarantee the success of the new loan whatever happens, how much| better to encourage the general public to subscribe to these bonds by easing its war-tax burdens. How much better to strengthen the confidence of Americans generally in their al that a portion of their income and excess profits taxes may be paid in installments during the latter half of the year—thereby making it possible for many to buy Liberty Bonds and War Sav- ings Stamps and to subscribe to Red Cross and other forms of . war aid throughout the next few months with a freedom that must otherwise be forbidden them. The amount that will-be realized from income and excess profits taxes admittedly exceeds all expectations. The Government does not need this money all at once one- tenth part as much as it needs the country’s continued readiness to take on new loads as rapidly as may be necessary—assured that the adjustment of each will be as easy as the Government can make it. The Nation can carry any weight without strain—if only the incre: are gradual and the burden kept skilfully balanced. There was little talk about extension of the installment payment privilege for war taxes when The Evening World began urging this measure of relief three months ago, It has now become a matter of general interest, discussed daily! 4m newspaper columns and by business men. ity to meet all war demands by providing On the legislative side} Senator Watson of Indiana, Representative McFadden of Pennsyl- vania and Representative Medill McCormick of Illinois have each asked Congress to consider means of making the collection of income and excess profits tax revenue bear less heavily upon business, It is time the Treasury Department showed a more active interest.
