Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Fiscal Reform The first thirteen chapters of the following volume are based upon a series of three articles which appeared in the February, March, and April numbers of the National Review last year; my cordial thanks are due to the editor of that Review for his courtesy in granting me unrestricted permission to make use of those articles as I pleased. As a matter of fact, I had no idea of reproducing them - at any rate, in a form which adheres so closely to that in which they originally appeared; I had planned a work of wider and more ambitious scope, of the completion of which I have by no means abandoned the hope. But the announcement in May last by Mr. Chamberlain of his intention to submit the whole question of our fiscal policy to a general national inquiry, on lines which resemble those recommended in the three articles mentioned, and which he has for some years past foreshadowed, led me to believe that I should be rendering greater service to those who wish to take part in the inquiry by inquiring for themselves - the best and most effective way, indeed, in which they can so take part - if I reproduced immediately the figures and arguments by which I was led to my conclusions, instead of waiting in order to publish them in a more detailed and voluminous, perhaps in a more scientific, form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Income Tax Administration and Reform: Report by the Imperial and Local Finance Committee As to the first point, I am to say that, as the law now stands, deductions are allowed both in respect of expenditure incurred in repairs or alterations of machinery, according to an average of three years preceding the year of assessment, and also in respect of the diminished value of machinery by reason of wear and tear during the year. The allowance of these deductions is in the hands of the district or special commis sioners, as the case maybe, and they have to decide in each case as it arises the adequacy of the deductions allowed. As to the second point, I am to say that the Board of Inland Revenue have given instructions to their Surveyor at Leicester, which is particularly referred to in the Memorial, that, where a claim is made in respect of the introduction of more modern machinery in a factory, no objection is to be taken to the allowance, as a deduction from the assessable profits of the year, of so much of the cost of replacement as is represented by the existing value of the machinery replaced. Any excess in the cost of the new machinery over the actual present value of the old, is an addition to the capital of the business, and cannot properly be regarded as a charge upon revenue for the purposes of Income Tax Assessment. I am to add that similar instructions will be given to Surveyors in other districts when this question arises there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Speeches on Financial Reform Increased in number and extent with a frightful rapidity, until, in the reign of George III, taxes became so numerous that there was nothing further left to tax; and although premiums were offered for fresh subjects for taxation, none could be found. This state of affairs is thus graphically described by Sidney Smith We must pay taxes upon every article which enters into the mouth, or covers the back, or is placed under the foot; taxes upon everything which is plea sant to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste; taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion; taxes upon everything on earth, and the waters under the earth; on every thing that comes from abroad, or is grown at home; taxes on raw material; taxes on every value that is added to it by the industry of man taxes on the sauce which pampers man's appetite, and the drug which restores him to health on the ermine which decorates the judge, and the rope which hangs the criminal; on the brass nails of the coffin, and on the ribands of the bride; at bed or at board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The beardless youth manages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road; and the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine, which has paid seven per cent., into a spoon which has paid thirty per cent, throws himself back upon his chintz bed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Preferential Trade: From a Canadian Point of View Mr. Chamberlain, with his unique capacity for burying himself in one idea at a time, has been chieﬂy instrument al in preaching the decline of British power and capacity. Nothing more strikingly demonstrates his well-known demagogic inﬂuence than his remarkable feat in bring ing so many British people from a condition of prosperous contentment to the very brink of ruin, within a twelve month. The very Empire itself is for him but as clay in the hands of the potter; for has he not assured us time and again, that by 'means of the Boer War he brought it to a condition of unparalleled unity and solidarity; and has he not, within a very short period, reduced it to such a parlous condition that nothing can save us from destruo tion but committing our destinies to his charge, by giving him a blank mandate to work out our salvation N ow we in Canada cannot dictate to the British people what com mercial policy they must adopt, for we in the past chose for ourselves, and insisted upon following the example of the United States, not that of Britain. We can have noth ing to say, therefore, even should the British people under the inﬂuence of Mr. Balfour, Mr. Chamberlain, and their assistants, become convinced that their day of greatness and independence has suddenly passed, and that hence forth instead of following a policy of their own and lead ing the commercial world, as they have done so long, they must go back several centuries and learn once more to imitate the example and'copy the policy of other Europ ean nations. But, in the face of such possible changes, it behooves us in Canada to know where we stand, so that we shall not be blindly committed to a line of policy which may be inconsistent with our national interests and dignity, or threaten the maintenance of those higher relationships within the Empire, which must be inde pendent of fiscal changes in any part of it.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dynamics of the Fiscal Problem Only the principles of fiscal policies, as they have been adopted by the chief nations of the world, are there considered, and no definite proposals for a system of taxation are discussed, nor has any question of arrangement been mooted, as such matters still rest in gremz'o It would appear to be the duty of a country, which contemplates an alteration in its trade policy, first to decide upon the broad question of principles, and then to enter intoa choice of the alternatives justifiable by those principles, and, as the first duty has not yet been performed, it is hoped that the somewhat condensed chapters which ensue may prove to be of some assistance to such persons as are eager to know more of the case for a Protective policy than can be gathered from the common form of platform declamation. It will be seen from the short historical sketch which occupies the first chapter, and which is drawn mainly from Free Trade chronicles, that the original theory of Free Trade, or, more properly, Free Exchange, was never put into practice in any state, and that the biography of that compromise which still trades under the old name is the record of a deduction killed by fact In the next chapter an endeavour has been made to show that those social and industrial forces which are, and have been, consistently active in human nature have rendered equally impossible the application to modern conditions of the still unpractised portion of the Free Trade theory; while the facts and figures which occupy other chapters, and which represent our trading with other nations, are, considered from the dynamic point of view, weighed in the balance and found wanting. An attempt has been made to point out that any conception of Imperialism which rests only upon the basis of sentiment, and which does not embrace the more material considerations which naturally animate most human actions, is not only false but fatal; and it is argued that the political portion of a scheme for Imperial federation, considered as a thing in itself, is little more than a piece of ﬂimsy idealism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Financial Reform Scrutinized: In a Letter to Sir Henry Parnell, Bart; M. P Sir, The very able and earnest manner in which you have treated many of the subjects discussed in Financial Reform, whilst it excites conviction of the beneficial results that sooner or later must come from your observations, renders it the more to be regretted that in some instances the facts themselves, as well as the deductions drawn, are very questionable. The parts I particularly allude to, though not extending to the means of raising millions, have for their object the means of saving the need for some of those millions; and it has appeared to me that those means stand the more in need of investigation since a nation, like an individual, must be the happier when its financial difficulties are remediable, not by any diminution of its necessaries or even luxuries, but by a more economical mode of obtaining them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty Years of Progress: And the New Fiscal Policy Kingdom scarcely more than parochial. Concentration on his own department has warped his judgment. The new movement is helped forward not only by the commanding personality of the leader, but by the combination of many inﬂuences. Among the industrials and the merchants, how few are as prosperous as they would wish! Many think they would do better if the foreigner were out of the way. There are those interested in the land, who sigh for a return to protection. Rents have declined. It is hoped that they would increase with higher prices for produce. And then there are the workers. They are the many; and the many govern. Speakers on both sides appeal to the workers. Protectionists insist on the numbers Of the unemployed who would be in employment it foreign goods were kept out Of our home markets. From the other side the workers hear Of the cruel burden of taxes on food, with no possible compensation in higher wages or more work to do. How few Of those who most enthusiastically applaud Mr. Chamber lain's oratory and read his persuasive speeches have examined, or could examine and collate, the facts for themselves! The reports of long speeches are repugnant. How much more repugnant are hundreds of pages Of statistics! Never has a question been before the public of which it would be more true to say, using the words Of Mr. Burke, there are but very few who are capable of comparing and digesting what passes before their eyes at different times and occasions, so as to be able to form the whole into a distinct system.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Staple Trades of the Empire: The Imperial Studies Series The Lectures that are here collected were delivered within the University of London at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the Spring of 1917. The course was planned under the auspices of the Imperial Studies Committee of the University and the Royal Colonial Institute, but for the views expressed in his lecture, each lecturer alone is responsible, and the task of the Committee has been solely to ensure that each trade should be dealt with by some one who could speak with authority concerning it. In a certain sense the present volume is complementary to that preceding it in the Imperial Studies Series on The Exploitation of Plants, edited by Prof. F. W. Oliver, F. R .S. In that volume the actual production of certain commodities is dealt with, while in these lectures attention is mainly directed not to the raising of the products, but to their distribution from the producer to the consumer through the processes of commerce.

P 9.colonies, New Zealand, and the Cape, are, it is true, many States as regards their internal government, and they are also one State as regards other nations. But why? Because the United Kingdom keeps to itself, and absorbs within itself, the foreign policy of the whole realm. There is, indeed, still some semblance of subordination in respect to domestic legislation; but it is only a semblance, for the veto, reserved to the Crown, would not be used except in some extremely improbable, and practically impossible, case; as, for instance, the enactment of slavery. The colonists can tax themselves or educate themselves as they please; they can levy, as we well know, what Customs' duties they think fit; they can pass what marriage laws they like; they have disestablished their State Churches, and can, if they choose, set them up again; they may pass what Franchise Bills or Seats Bills they prefer; they can protect life, and limb, and liberty, and property by what criminal laws or by what police seem good to them they have power to borrow money, and even to raise regiments of soldiers, and build and man ships of war; but they have no power to modify or participate in the foreign policy which may at any time bring them into war. Now the real question is, will they continue to submit to this condition of subordination? As regards internal affairs the colonists have self-government. As regards foreign affairs, they are subjects, not merely of the Queen, but of our Parliament - that is, of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, or rather of such of those inhabitants as are voters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India and Imperial Preference IN the Fiscal controversy the position Of India has hardly received any attention. The so-called leaders of Indian thought have not even discussed it. There is not a word in the Omnibus Resolutions of the Indian Congress about this most important subject, which afiects the economic condition of of the Indian people. A retired anglo-indian Official. Indeed, Sir Roper Lethbridge, Chairman of Devonshire Tariff Reform League, has just published a book entitled India and Imperial Preference; but a perusal of it reminds one of the Old saying when you have a very weak case, the best thing to do is to abuse your opponent's attorney. The book abounds with such choice expres'sions as suicidal Cobdenite folly (page silly free-fooders (page it refers to Free Traders as timorous souls (page to Free Trade as silly, antiquated bigotry (page and to Lord Curzon's famous despatch on India and the Preferential Tariff scheme as an impotent document (page a slovenly document (page and pitifully mean (page 69) Strong and unjustifiable language, though pleasing to the gallery, can never appeal to the thoughtful section of the British public. It is a pity that Sir Roper Lethbridge forgot that, in trying to champion the cause Of his Tariff Reform party, he practically questioned the intelligence of the British nation, when he asked his readers to accept vituperation for stern commercial facts.
