-,,e 4 ."L These are days when
duty stauni staok an i naked aan
evi with eloas ,ye ve know it is
thqke. Excuses are unavailing. We
have "egither done our duty or we
la nit. The fat will be as gross
an4 plin as tOe .duty itself. In
asl a case lassitude and fatigu e
sek lgi ble enough. The facts
are tonme and. sauBce to fresh n jhe
labor.
"And the .facto are these: Addi
tloa1nl rev ue3 'must manifestly be
vprovid fora It would be a most
unsound policy to raise too large a
proportion of them by loan and it is
evident that the four billions now
provided for by taxation will not of
thenaslves sustain the gwratly en
:arged budget to which we must im
mediately look forward. We can not
:n fairness wait until tli% end of the
iseal year is at-hand to apprise out
,eople of the taxes they must pay
on their earnings of the pr' sent cal
endar year, 'whose accountings and
expenditures will then be closa d. We
can not get increased taxes unless
the country knows what they are to
be and practices the necessary econ
omy to make tem available. Defin
itp ness, early definiteness, as to what
its tasks are to be is absolutely nee
essary for the, successful administra
tion of the treasury, it can not
frame any workable regulations in
hbate, and it must frame its regula
tions if haste if it is not to know
its exact' task until thei very eve of
its p dformance. The present tax
laws are marred, moreover, by in
equalitie1s which ought to be reme
died. Indisputable facts, every one;
adi we can not alter or blink them.
To state them is argument enough.
MUST PROTECT
I OUR CREDIT
"And yet perhaps you will permit
mei to dwell fora moment upon thl
theation' they disclose. Enormous
1 freely spent in the stimulation
ift*tustry of almost every sort
p educe inflation and extravagances
w1eh presently make tl whole
ecdomic structure questionable and
insecure and the very basis of credit
is cut away.. Only fair, equitably
distributed taxation of the widest in
cident' and drawing chiefly from
'r" sources which would be likely to
demoralize credit by their very
abundance, can prevent inflation and
kt our industrial system free of
speculation and waste. We shall
naturally turn, therefore, I suppose
to war profits and incomes and lux
ucrr s for the additional taxes. But
the war profits and incomes upon
which the increased taxes will be
levied will be the profits and incomse
of the calendar year 1918. It would
be ma ' estly unfair to wait until
the early months of 1919 to say what
tlr y are to be. It might, be diffi
cult, I shojd imagine, to run the
mill with water that tiad already
gone over the wheel.S
MUST ANTICIPATE
THE TAXES
"Morzovet, taxes of that sort will
not be paid until June of next yeas
and the treasury~ must "nticipate
thsn. It must fs r tf money thet
are to produc before it is. due. It
must sell short time certificates of

LONG WAY
TO MEE: DUTY
"That is the `situation, and it is
the situation which creates the duty,
no choice or preference of ours.
There is only one way to meet that
duty. We must meet it without sel
tishness or. fear of consr quences.
Politics iive adjourned. The elec
ions will go to those who think
ledat of it; to those who go to the
eonstiturncies without explanatio.i
or excuses,. with a plain record of
duty faithfully and disinterestedly
performe 1. I, for one, am always
confident that the - p ople of this
country will give a just verdict upon
the service of the men who act for
:hem when t 1 facts are such tha:
no man can disguise or conceal them
There is no danger of deceit now
An intense and pitiless light h ats
upon every man and every action lx
this tragic plot of war that is now
upon the stage. Lobbyists hurry to
Washintton to attempt to turn what
you do in the matter of taxation to
their protection or advantage. Th
light will beat also upon them. There
is abundant fuel for the light in the
records of the treasury with rzgard
to profits of every sort. The profi
teering that can not be got at by
he restraints of conscir nce and love
of country can be got at by taxation.
There is such profiteering now and
the information with regard to it is
available and indisputable.
MUST BEAR
THE BURDEN
:1 am advising you to act upon
jhia Imattt r of taxation now, gentle
men, not because I do not know that
you can see and interpret the facts
amid the duty they impose just as
well and with as clhar a perception
of the obligations involved as I can,
but because there is a certain solemn
satisfaction in sharing with you the
responsibilitii s of such a tune. The
world never stood in such place be
fore. Men never before had so clcar
or so moving a vision of duty. I
know that you will begrudge the
Nork to be done lr re by us no more
than the men begrudge us theirs who
lie in the trenches and sally forth to
ix ir death. There 1s a stimulating
comradeship knitting us all together.
And this task to which I invite your
immediate consideration will be per
formed under favorable influences if
ve will loc, to what the country is
thinking and expecting and care
nothing at all for what is being said
and believed in t1i lobbies of Wash
ington hotels, where the atmosphere
seems to malp it possible to believe
what is belkived nowhere else.
MUST PAY
FOR WAR
"Have you not felt the spirit of
the nation rise and its thought be
come a single and common thought
since these eventful days came in
which we have been sending our
boys to the other side? I think you
must have read that thought, as I
do, to nean this, that the-people of
his country are not only united in
h4 resolute purpose to win this war,
ut are ready and willing to bear any
urden and- undergo any sacrifict
that it may be necessary for them
o bear in order to win it. We need
not be afraid to tax them, if we lay
tales justly. They know that the
war must be paid for, and that it is
hey who must pay for it, and if the
bhrdeA is- juatly distribute1 and the
