How Shall We Tax War Expenses and Apportion Burdens
Essay by Edwin R A Seligman argues against full tax or loan funding for WWI costs. He cites 1917 House plan estimating 1.8 billion in taxes and outlines principles for fair, progressive taxation. He compares Britain’s gradual tax increases and proposes a balanced mix of loans and taxes with caps, reforming income and excess profits taxes to avoid overburdening individuals or industries.
