How to Pay for the War A Scientific Plan
Essay argues for balanced funding of World War I through loans and taxation. It critiques a just-tax approach, warns against excessive early taxes, and outlines a revised program: cap new taxes at 1.25 billion to 1.5 billion, preserve profits and whisky/tobacco yields, adjust income tax to a max around 34 percent, and rely on a mix of loans and taxes to sustain war finances without harming industry or education. It cites Secretary McAdoo and compares to Britain's tax policy.
