Ours In uu cm of tin ? steamship. Social progress 1b depend1#ent upon freedom of trade. Ships are "couriers of democracy. Just as lioueyI bees, dying from orchard to ot^hard, fertilize tlie fruit, ho ships, going from continent to continent, fertilize nations widely separated with the principle of liberty and self government. Does Stephenson develop his engine for England? The ship brings a model to the 1 i Vnlted States, and soon the locomotive moves around the earth. Not otherwise the ships spread ull the tools, until the reaper, the printing press, the steel plows, the phonographs, invented in one country are carried to all counj tries. Steamships as Honeybees of Trade. No man can overestimate the Influence of the steamship upon the progress of mankind, lint the nations of western Kit rope determined to forbid Iiussiu the use of the steamship. Duri ing the most important part of the year namely, the live months that follow after the gathering of the crops ? mi- mi.-! ui-iiK-u mi miui'i. i uey were willing 11111 Russia should have a port on the Ar< lii* ocean, which is frozen lip seven inontlis in (lie year. Tliey were willing she should have a part in Siberia and a port on the Ihiltic because j (lie mouth of (lie Neva at l'etrogrnd is locked with Ice until April. But threefourths of Russia's crops follow her rivers, like (lie Volga. miles lomr, southwrd Into the Black sea. More 1 hitii a thousand craft, largo and small, ! laden with Russian wheat, barley, rye, oats and various treasure, were locked north of the 1 >ardiino!les when the war broke out. I Hiring the last seven years two Balkan revolutions have closed the Dardanelles. But Russia launot live and prosper while the Dardanelles huvfj been open only two and a half ; years out of the past seven. England's Fear. England was afraid that If she nllowed Russia to own Constantinople a Russian licit would stand at the Suez canal and be a harrier between Kng- j land and India. Cermany and Austria) feared the competition of Russia if sh > j developed great shipping lines through ' her port on the Mediterranean sea, 1 open twelve months In the year. And ! so these nations conspired to support j Turkey as n btiTer state, midway he- I I twecn Russia and the Mediterranean.' The Russian giant struggled long, like! some hHire Samson. lint It wns till in i vtiin. often it looked as If RusslH ! \v?>nl?l force the f.;ute of the Dardn-' Hollos, but then a now conference wns . < tilled, mid in Rorlln lSlsmaivk ninl j I'Israeli, with the emperor of Austria , ami the president of I'miieo, forced! : new fetters for Itn slti and placed new weapons in the hamls of the sultan. Therefore Russia's life was tin lmrrowInjX life. Iler ideas were Inbred ideas. I Russia suffered nil the disaster inei- ! dent to Ilibreedinjr. with results disss- j , trons to the pi ip'.o. The responsiliili-. tv. therefore, for Russian autoi racy, | with tin- denial of liberty of the press, liberty of speech and liberty of re- ! , III:Ion, lies at the door of envious nil- j , tlons of western I'urope.

Charnclcrictica of Russians. Consider' t!io characteristic^ of tlic Russian |>eop!o. From one viewpoint It i.s not | o> <it)le to speak of a Russian temperament hy reason of the number of the diversity of dialects and the diti'mciice in religion. But from another viewpoint we may speak of llm Russian type just as we speak of Faust as a (toriauii ty;>e, or Bear us an English type, or I'nele Sum as an America a portrait. We have heon wont to speak of Russia as the Ilatulot among I the modern nations, medit.itivo, hut not melanchoiy. Many trouhles Im w 11dered Hamlet's mind; he stool midway between what seemed to be his vision and lite well known task, and liideci- ' slon slew the Dane.

By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, i ?? ? ...... . *'*V ? iviutl i. I UIW3UI UL I 'Mil I ("III L'iCOn- j I o.n.v, Columbia t'nlverslty. On Mny "I}, 1017, tlie IIuuko of Rep I resentntives passed an act "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill ns presented by the Committee of i Ways and Means, the additional rove j nue to be derived was estimated at I,810,120.000. The amendment to the In j come tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, was expected to yield another $40,000, OOP or $.">0,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: I. How much should be raised by taxat ion? II. In what manner should this sum be raised? I. How Much Should Bo Raised by Taxation? I low 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 for the year 1017 IS. he calculated that they would amount to some SO.tJOO,ooo.noo. Of which $3,000,000.(100 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3,000,000,000 was to be utilized f>?r the do I nie.-dlc purposes. Thinking that It would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum betweui loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was ?1.800,000. 0O0. There are two extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy. The one Is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by loans, and the other is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by taxes Ixach tlioor.v In untenable. It is Indeed true that the hardens of tlio war should ho horne hv the present rather than the future generation; hut ttiis does not mean that they should he horne by this year's taxation. Meeting all v%*nr expenses by taxation makes the taxpayers in one or two years hear tlie burden of benefits that ought to he distributed at least over a dorado within I lie satne generation. In the seeond place. when expondlttires approach (lie gigantic sums of present-day warfare, the tax-only policy would require more than the total surplus of social income. Were this absolutely necessary, the ensuing havoc In the economic life of the community would have to la* endured. I?nt where the disasters are so great and at the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may ho declared iniuract iealiie. Secretary M'\\doo had the right Instinct and highly cointncndahle courage in deciding that a snhstantial portion, at least, of the revenues should he derived from taxation. 1 tut when lie hit upon the plan of cU-aO per cent., that is, of raising one-half of all domestic war expenditures hy taxes, the question arises whether lie did not go too far. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all u purely business proposition. Not to rely to a large exli>nf mi loinia lit- tli?, niitunt ? iL-in- 1>j a mistake. Disadvantages of Excessivo Taxes. The disadvantages of excessivo taxes at the outset of the war ale as follows: 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resent meat. 2. Excessive taxes on industry will disarrange business, dump enthusiasm ami restrh-t the spirit of enterprise at the very time when the opposite Is needed. 8. Excessive taxes on Incomes will deplete tlie surplus nvnllahlo for Invest meats niul Interfere Willi the placing of tlioenormous loans which will lie iieecs snry in any event. 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the incomes which are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educational and philanthropic enterprises. Moreover, these sources of support would lie dried up precisely at the time when the need would he greatest. 5. Excessivo taxation at tho outset of the war will tcduco the elasticity available for the increasing demands that are eoon to como. Great Britain's Policy. Take (ileal Britain as an example During the lirsi year of the war she Increased Iuxch only slightly. In order to keep industries going at top uoteh During tin? second year she raised b\ now taxes only it per cent, of her war expenditures. Ituring tlio third year lie levied by additional taxes (over and nhovo tiio pre-war level) only slightly more than 17 per cent, of her waiy>xpensps. If we should attempt to do as much in the first year of the war as Great Britain did in the third year it would siiII'mo to raise by taxation $1,250,000.000. If, tn order to lie alisolutely on the safe sale. It seemed advisable b> inerease the silin to $ 1 ,iV >0,000. OilO, tills should, in our opinion, lie the luuxi mum. In considering the apportionment of the extraordinary Imrden of luxes in war times certain selenlint: principle aro definitely established: How Taxes Should Bo Apportioned. (1) Tito burden of taxes must lie spread as far as possible over the whole community so as to cause each Individual to share ip the sacrifices according to his ability to pay and according to his share fn tho Government. (2) Taxes on consumption, which are necessarily borno by the community at large, should be iinjMised as far as posslbio on articles of quasi-luxury rather than on thoae of necessity. M (?) Ex^aaajhpuUU.g Is possible upon commodities lu the hands of the final consumer rather JH than upon the articles which serve primarlly as raw material for further production. I (4) Taxes upon business should be 1 Imposed ns far as possible upon net 1 earnings rather than upon gross re- 1 3eipts or capital iuvested. 1 (5) Taxes upon Income which will J necessarily bo severe should be both differentiated and graduated. That la, tliero should be a distinction between earned and unearned Incomes and there , should be a higher rate upon the.larger I Incomes. It Is essential, however, not J to make the iucomo rato so excessive as to lead to evasion, administrative difficulties, or to the more fundamental 'l objections which have been urged u bovc. (0) The excess profits which are due to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable source of revenue during war times. But the principle upon which these war-profit taxes are laid must bo equitable In theory and easily . jM calculable in practice. The Proposed Income Tax. The additional income tax as passed by the House runs up to a rate of 60 V.&jv| per cent. This'is n sum unheard of in the history of civilized society. It mU8t~~'M]*'3flu| be remembered that it was only after the tirst year of the war that Great 'sfljl Britain increased her income tax to the maximum of 31 per cent., and that 4 j I even now in the fourth year of the war I the income tax does not exceed 42K m per cent. It could easily bo shown that a tax with rates1 on moderate incomes aubstantlnliy less than In Great Rritaln, and on the larger incomes about I high, would yield only, slightly less than the kjo.oiK) originally estimated in the House bill. It is to be hoped that the Sennte will reduce the total rate on the highest in- ^ comes to 31 per cent, or at most to 40 per cent, and tlint at the same time it \ will reduce the rate on the snmlfer i comes derived from pcrsonnl or profes- i sional earnings. If the war continues we shall have to 'd depend more and mors upon tho Income tax. Dy imposing excessive rates now we aro not only endangering tho future, but aro inviting all manner of difficulties which even Great Britain has been able to escape. Conclusion. g The TI on mo l)!!l contains other fun da- 1 mental defects which may be summed " up as follows: (1> It pursues an erroneous principle In imposing retroactive taxes. ('Ji It selects an unjust und unworknble criterion for the excess-profits tax. (3) It jiroceeds to an unheard-of V* height in tiio Income tax. ( I) It imposes unwarranted burdens upon the consumption of the community. (5) It Is calculated to throw business into confusion by levying taxes on gross receipts instead of upon commodities. OP It fafis to make a proper use of stamp taxes. (7) It follows nn unscientific system in Its fiat rate on imports. (8) It includes a multiplicity of petty nnd unhterative taxes, the vexatlousness of which is out of all proportion to the revenue they province. * The fundamental lines on which the House bill should he modified arc summed up herewith: (1) The amount of new taxation should be limited to $i,2.">0,000,000?or at the outset to $1,500,000,000. To do more than this would be as unwise as it Is unnecessary. To do even this would be to do more than has ever been done by any civilized Government in time of stress. (J) The excess-profits tux based upon a sound system ought to yield about $500,000,000. ? 1 (3) The income-tax schedule ought to I tie revised with a lowering of the rates j on earned incomes below $10,000, and with an analogous lowering of the rates on tin* higher incomes, bo as ?ot to exceed 34 per cent. A careful cal- j culation shows Hint an Income tax of J this kiml would yield some $450,000,- '""73 000 uddltlonnl. <4t T!ie tn1: on whisky nnd toliacco flj ht til I I i\ i ma t ely as It Is. _ with II yield . f about $230,000,000. These three taxes, together with the stamp tax at <?.< ?? the low rate of the House bill, and with an improved automobile tax, will yield over $1,250,noo.noo, which is the amount of money thought <hsirahltj. The above program would he In harmony with an approved scientific system. It will do away with Hlmost all of the complaints that are being urged against the present. It wifl refrain from taxing the consumption of the poor. It will ihp'u a far h< ivler burden fl| upon the rich. but will not go to the extremes of eontlsention. It will obviate interference wiHi business and will he op unimpaired the social productlvity of the eoininunlty. It will establlsli n Just halatiee l>etween loans and taxes and will not su< < uinl? to tbe danger of approaching either the tax-only policy or the loanonly policy. Above all. It will keep an undisturbed elastic margin, which must be more and more heavily drawn upon as the war proceeds. N_w Slogan. "IW*r and whisky. They're a curse; i We drink water,.
