If only the wartime increases are repealed on tne 12 items to which
the war excise taxes were applied, the net loss to the U. S. Treasury
will be in the nature of $775,000,000 a year. While this is “only"
three-quarters of a billion dollars, it would be natural to assume that
if these taxes are cut. some other taxes will haye to be raised by a
similar amount to make up the loss.

c c&ti this ’taLJialiv... >-wiH -toe se» that restoring--the-
rate on admissions to the prewar, or to pre-1943 tax law levels, would
still leave the Treasury collecting approximately $193,000,000.
If all 12 of these federal sales taxes paid by consumers were com-
pletely repealed, U. S. revenues would be cut by $1,728,000,000. So
far, nobody has proposed that these taxes be cut that much.
'T'HERE is one theory that if these excise taxes were completely re-
pealed, sales in these fields of business would increase. There is also
an assumption that tax collections on these items might even increase
if the rates were lowered slightly, or back to the prewar levels. But
these experiments would have to be tried to prove the theories right.
If they were wrong, the government's financial position might be
worsened by over-cutting.
The taxes listed above are of course not the only excise taxes which
the government collects. There are manufacturers’ excise taxes,
paid directly to the government by the manufacturer. These taxes are
"absorbed" or at least included in the retail price, paid by the con-
sumer as hidden taxes. Gasoline, liquor and tobacco taxes are the
principal examples of this type of taxation.
Tobacco taXtjs were not increased by the 1943 tax law, though they
Were increased by the 1942 law. Liquor taxes were increased by the
19^1>w. ADd in m* they yielded $2,211 0R*,0M.
Whether or not Congress will cut back These taxes is anybody's
guess. Committee for Economic Development, which has recom-
mended that federal excise taxes-be cut back "about $1,009,000” next
year, is on record that ultimately the federal government should tax

say that as the space between
the two levees fills with water,
the danger of the big dike break-

Two breaks in the levee on

did little to help the Vincennes
situation. One break, occurring
directly opposite the Indiana
city, sent flood waters surging
