The politician would prefer to raise $1,000,000,000 by taxing n few people who would pass It on to the rest of us rather than make us all conscious of a tax every time wo went Into n store. And the politicians just now nrc playing for the soldier vote nnd are seeking to conciliate the rest of us. who are struggling with the high cost of living. They think they can succeed In both their endeavors If thejrturn down the consumption tax. i Yet Iu view of the heavy war burdens which must be borne for many years, and iu view of the dw.ludllng of the re turns of Internal revenue 4ax under prohibition- and because of the compara tively small sums that can be mImhI by the tariff and on account of the burden .ome nature of the higher ranges of the Income tax likely to defeat their pur povrs, Mime'sicw taxation plan mut be devised. The consumption tax mill jlelil enor mous villus without laying any large burden on any one. The objections to it nt prevent are political rather than economic. Hut unless Congress finds some cunlly simple wny for raising revenue enough to meet the expenditures of the government, whether an adjusted soldiers' compensation bill is passed or not, the passage of a consumption tax law may become in the highest degree politically expedient.

A great many of the comnlalntsnboilt lack of sewers In the older sections of the city nre due to Ignorance of the fact that sewers can be built oUly on streets that are upon the city plan, nnd where full city tax Is paid. Another thing is that dead-end and narrow streets. cannot be placed on the city plan. Nor is there any rule when property goes from farm to suburban, nnd from suburban to city tax rate. All told, there are 174 streets, fifteen miles In length, that are without sewen. on the cllv nlan and on which properly Is paying full city tax rate. 'I he toiau estimated cost for laying these sewers would be about $1. 01.1.000, of which STlfi.OOO would be the city's share and $300,000 the property owners'. There nre two miles of streets lacking only sewer outlets which will cost .firiL'.OOO to put iu. Tliis map will also show that there are eighty-one streets, of n total length of more thnn Ike miles, not on tho city plan, which are not legal, because they are dead-end or too nnrrow, but which, just the same, pay city tax rate.
