Taxes for War Costs in 1917 and Tax Policy Debate
The piece discusses how much to raise for World War I expenses, weighing loans versus taxes. It analyzes the 1917 House plan of about 1.81 billion dollars in revenue, critiques the 60 percent top income tax rate, and proposes a balanced tax mix led by excess profits taxes, revised income taxes, and targeted levies to total around 1.25 to 1.5 billion dollars. It argues for broad-based burden sharing and avoidance of tax-only austerity.
