U. S. A. RECRUITING STATION Postoffice buildin, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 13, 1917. so the Georgia Press: Statement by your recruiting officer Since the local exemption boards have gotten under way and are cer i ying men fpr duty i nthe army, it is but fair to the 'men who are effected ,iow and to those whose numbers have not yet. ben called, to lay the follow rg facts before them. Telegrams quoted below from the war department covers every man’s case explicitly: : “Washington, D. C„ Aug. 20, 1917. : ‘Army Recruiting Officer, Atlanta, Ga. “After a registered person has been ■ I called for military service by his local joard and directed to appear for phy sical examination, he ceases to be eii > ;ible so voluntary enlistment.” : From the above it can be seen that : .he moment the board posts a man’s and mails him a letter directing the nan to report for physical examina ; tion, that man loses his chance to vol : nteer. । In the past few days a-great num • her of men have found themselves in rhe predicament of having been order ■ ed to appear for physical examination by their local boards and they have i immediateyl come up to the army re cruiting office and attempted to volun . leer, but in each case the local re ruiting officer has had to tell them I j; hat he could not accept them as vol > I unteers after they had received their i i notice to appear before their board. These young, men waited 100 long, >; and, consequently, lost tlieir oppor ; tunity to volunteer and choose their ! ' service. To Ilie m« n whose serial number is : about to be drawn, I desire to say to Dhim that delay in his case means the i j loss of his choice of service. ■' To all single men between the ages iI of 18 and 40, I desire to say that if ’; you have no reason to keep you out t| of the army it is your patriotic duty to ' ; volunteer at once. You get your choice Hos service now. There are vacancies :, in practically all branches of the ’; army. You will all join eventually, . tso why not now? I, To the young man who is unwisely ■ i advised to wait, I desire to say that iiyocr advisers are depriving you of the 11 best chances for promotion and pre -..ferment. The trained soldier certain- D ly will command in this war, and the i best way to be trained is Io enlist at once. Don't delay! The loss of a sin ! gle day may mean the difference to ! rou of carrying a sword or a gun. I There is a recruiting station near • you, or you may see your local post > master for further particulars. Re member this: If you wish to choose >’ to. r branch of the service, you 'must 1 volunteer before your exemption 1 board culls you for physical examina tion. G. V. HEIDT, Capt. Inf. A. R. S.

LOAMS BETTER THAR TAXES Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes at the Outset of War Are Disadvantage ous—Great Britain Example Worthy of Emulation—How the Taxes Should Be Apportioned. By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, McVickar Professor of Political Econ- ( omy, Columbia University. ; On May 23, 1917, the House of Rep , resentatives passed an act “to provide revenue to defray war expenses and • for other purposes.” In the original bill as presented by the Committee of Ways and Means, the additional reve- ! nue to be derived was estimated at $L- t 810,420,000. The amendment to the in . come tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, : 1 was expected to yield another $40,000,- ! 000 or $50,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two ■ problems arise: I. How much should be raised by । taxation? 11. In what manner should this sum be raised? I. How Much Should De Raised by Taxation? How was the figure of $1,800,000,000 ' arrived at ? The answer is simple. When the Secretary of the Treasury came to estimate the additional war expenses s for the year 1917-18, he calculated that they would amount to some $6,600,- 000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to : be allotted to the allies, and $3,690,- 000,600 was to be utilized for the do > mestic purposes. Thinking that it would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and ( taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000.- ; 000. ’ There are two extreme theories, each ■ of v, inch may be dismissed with scant , co: rtesy. The one is that all war ex pem.itures should be defrayed by loans, and the other is that all war expendi tures should be defrayed by tax*s Each theory is untenable. It is indeed true that the burdens of the war should be borne by the pres ent rather than the future generation; . but this does not mean that they should be borne by this year’s taxation. Meeting all war expenses by taxation makes the taxpayers In one or two ; years bear the burden of benefits that ought to be distributed at least over a ■ decade within the same generation. In the second place, when expendi . tures approach the gigantic sums of present-day warfare, the tax-only pol icy would require more than the total surplus of social income. Were this 1 absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav oc in the economic life of the communi ty’ would have to be endured. But where the disasters are so great and at the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared im practicable. Secretary McAdoo had the right in stinct and highly commendable cour age in deciding that a substantial por tion, at least, of the revenues should be derived from taxation. But when he hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent., that is, of raising one-half of all do mestic war expenditures by taxes, the question arises whether he did not go too far. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all a purely business proposition. Not to rely to a large ex tent on loans at the outset of a war is a mistake. Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes. The disadvantages of excessive taxes at the outset of the war are as follows: 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resentment. 2. Excessive taxes on industry will disarrange business, damp enthusiasm and restrict the spirit of enterprise at the very time when the opposite is needed. 3. Excessive taxes on incomes will de plete the surplus available for invest ments and interfere with the placing of the enormous loans, which will be neves sary in any event. 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the in j comes which are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educa tional and philanthropic enterprises Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would bo greatest. 5. Excessive tax-lion at the outset of tha war will r.-d-j; Ho elasticity avail j »bl» for the i.icreasing demands that I are soon to come. Great Britain’s Policy. Take Great Britain ns an example During the first year of the war she increased taxes only slightly, in order to keep industries going at top notch During the second year she raised by new taxes only 9 per cent, of her war expenditures. During the third year she levied by additional taxes (over and above the pre-war level) only slightly more than 17 per cent, of her war expenses. If we should attempt to do ns much in the first year of the war as Great Britain did in the third year it would suffice to raise by taxation $1,250,000, 000. If, in order to be absolutely on the safe side, it seemed advisable to Increase the sum to $1,500,000,000. thin should, in our opinion, be the maxi mum. Il6oßGlA—Wilkinson County. Sallie E. Pierce v.
