opp $2000, 00000 ONLY WAY Relied On to Head Off » Financial Disaster. FEAR. DRASTIC ACTION. sere Trimming Estimates Merely for Political Effect, Not to Save Taxpayer. : | By Martin Green. « # Statf Correspondent of The Evening World,) INGTON, Feb, %.—Having ide, under the influence of a ews alarm, created by boosters of ent ownership and operation vy merehant marine, an oppor- unity to knock off at least two Aili of dollars from the expenses of G@vernment next year by wiping out Shipping Board, and thus jélimifating the deficit of three billions jof déilars existing and an additional biltiok or billion and a halt doliars threagened, Congress is now secking to mske further cuts in the estimates for appropriations submitted by the departments and bureaus. Further cuts will be made before the final report of the Appropriations Commit- \ the House is submitted, but) “a fof the cuts, it appears from in- tion, will not stick, and some- in, Ebig and desperate, involving the {suspension of tivities of large and costly Gov nt bureaus, must be done if higher taxes are to be avoided. mn) CUTS FOR POLITICAL REASONS; NOT ENOUGH. The Repub.ican majority gress, 1s disposed to cut the appropri- ations to the extent of in excess of a billion dollars for political effect in the next campaign, but this will give no relief to the taxpayer. Members of Congress are guided by party in- eetbdeeand: principle, and’ the Republiaan Part,, nominally mitted to economy, is not for the| heroic economy demanded by the ex- isting situation. ‘This Is shown by in Con- com. | the ob OM | Old Parties 1s| TEXPENSES T0 AVERT RUIN ing to $18 a year off the back of every man, woman and child in the United States.

No statute can determine sence of the problem before Congress to-day. It requires the same kind of treatment that a financier or a busi- ness man would give his business— but there are few business men of transcendant ability in Congress. Most of our statesmen are lawyers. In the prevalent crisis does the harassed taxpayer, figuring on wear- ing his worn clothes and shoes another year in order to be able to pay his rent and his provision bills and provide for his family, hear any leader of either of the old parties pledging in clarion tones said parties | to an immediate reduction of taxes? ‘The taxpayer listens in vatn for such clarion tones; he doesn't hear even a/ whisper. Instead, he hears talk of “a more | equitable distribution” of taxes. That is what Chairman Will Hays pledged the Republican Party to in New York | Monday night, and what Elihu Root pledged the party to in his speech at} Carnegie Hall last week. Let us see | what references to taxation ure hid- |den away in Mr. Root's speech, Mr. Root said about taxation: “It is a very difficult;thing to make a good tax law, even with the most sin- | cere purpose to distribute the burden | fairly; but if the men who make the law have other purposes, and are in- spired by a desire to punish somebody by the imposition of taxes, they are | sure to get into their law provisions which work badly. “The men who framed the revenue laws of the Sixty-fourth and Gixty- fifth Congresses did not conceal the fact that they looked with suspicion and dislike upon the great body of} successful business concerns of the United States, and upon the men who MAYOR and MRS.
