TAXATION AND WORK.
Labor That Is Given for the Support
of the Government.
IT AMOUNTS TO FIVE PER CENT
Of the Energy of the People in Proeesses of
Production. .
THE BURDEN IS COMPARATIVELY LIGHT
rWHITTEN FOB THE DtSrXTCH.t
a previous number an approximate
Xa
computation was given of the value of our
annual product. Given a certain measure
of such products then it follows that by so
much as some persons secure a larger share
of the whole by so much must the share of
the others be reduced. The share or pro
portion which must be assigned to the sup
port of Government is taken from those
xrho do the work of the country in propor
tion to consumption and not in ratio to the
work done. The case may be stated in
other terms. A certain part of everr persons-work
must be devoted to the support
of the Government, and since the revenues
arc derived mainly from the taxation of
articles of common consumption, therefore
the cost of Government is put upon the peo
ple in proportion to their consumption of
the subjects of taxation rather than in pro
portion to their personal incomes.
In order to make this case of taxation and
work clear we will first give a statement of
the expenditures of the Government in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, measured
by men's work for one year of 300 days at
$2 per day; we will then deal with the sub
ject by the customary method in terms of
money. It might be suitable to make this
computation at a less rate per day, since
national taxes upon articles of common con
sumption are paid in largest measure by
people of moderate incomes of less than S6CK)
for each working group of three, or less
than ?1,000 for each family of five. It is
probable, to say the least, that the actual
cost ol Government when stated in terms of
n ork would be one-filth greater in number
oi men occupied in one year, than the
figures which are given in the subsequent
tables.
Ttao Best Way to State the Case.
This will become apparent by recurring
to the soning of occupations in Xa I: tak
ing observations of the great pioportions of
laborers, mechanics, factorv operators and
persons engaged in personal service as com
pared to ail others.
The best way to put this case is in the
customary form of an account current

Total S453,544.23j 03
Which sum represents the work of 764,257
men for one year of 300 w orkinjj days at $2
per day each.
In other words, it required the full year's
work ot about 765,000 men to support the
President, Cabinet, officials, legislators,
judges, tax gatherers, postmasters, soldiers,
sailors and others who perlormed the actual
wotk of the Government; including also the
pensioners and the claim agents who batten
upon them, and all others who get their liv
ing out of or by direct payment from the
government.
Work to Support the Government.
In addition to this sum, under present
laws the Government will tax the people in
the next fiscal year for some other purposes,
to wit:
For the payment ot bounties to smrar
planters and maple-tree tappers,
about ten million dollars (I10.OC0O0O)
representing men's w ork for 800 days
at $2, to the number of. 16,666
For the pui chase of four million dol
lars" worth of silver bullion per
month, to be stored in the vaults of
the Treasury, torty-elgln million dol
lars (S,CO0,0O0),. 80,000
96166
Adding these last items the facts will
show about 860,000 men now working for
the support of the Government and for the
support of those to whom bounties are to be
paid; or, what is nearer the truth, every
one who is at work in every occupation is1
forced to continue the effort so much longer,
or to work so much harder, as the cost of
the government is in ratio to the total con
sumption ot taxed articles by every one
who does any w ork, moral, mental or me
chanical. The cost represents nearly 4 per cent of
all the work that is done by all the people.
The work done to support-State and munic
ipal governments is somewhat less. It may
come to 2 or 3 per cent
The Burden Comparatively Light.
"When we get the full census figures we
may secure a more adequate measure. In
1880 the writer computed the ratio of all
taxation to product at about 7 per cent.
Since then the product has increased, but
taxation has somewhat diminished in ratio
to the product. If the taxes were rightly
framed and rightly spent we might not com
plain. Compared to other countries, the
burden is vc.ry light, although in many
ways we do not get as much for our money,
especially in cities but that subject is aside
Irom my present purpose.
According to the Iilue Book lately issued
by the Government, the total number of
persons employed in its service, omitting
postmasters, was over 100,000, to whom
must be added the men in the army and the
navy, making a total of about 200,000. The
number of mechanics and laborers who are
employed upon public works cannot be
computed.
In dealing with the cost of Government
in terms of work it will be observed that ire
may rightly compute the numbers occupied
in the service itself and also the number
occupied in making provision for their sup
port Energy Diverted Prom Prodnctlon.
It is not held thatthe work of government
is not necessary and conducive to produc
tion, but it represents so much energy di
verted from actual production. If "men
actually governed themselves, then all who
are now in the service- would be producing
something for personal use or exchange aud
there would be no taxes to pay. The remis
siou of work now exerted tor and by the
Government would then be substantially
that of a number of men considerably ex
ceeding 1,000,000.
In other words, if there are now about 23,
000,000 men, women and children occupied
for gain in all the arts of life, including the
support of the' Government, we may very
surely assume that very nearly it not quite
5 pcr'cent of the actual work or energy of
the people is expended in the processes of
the National Government.
The cost of the National Government
treated in customarv terms of money will
be dealt with in No. ILL
