WASHINGTON. March 2.-Because
Of the unparalleled extravaganza Of
che Roosevelt administration Uncle
Sam win probably be forced to resur-
rect some wartime taxes to put the
finances Of the Government on good
footing.
During January the deficit was near
~ $4,000. 600. This brings the deficit
thus far I'm the fiscal year up 20 S79,-
sl4,443. Official figures do not sustain
tha position OF the Republican lead
ers that the increased deficit Is due
entirely OF chiefly" to the reduction
IN the national income because Of
slackened commercial activity. They
indicate the deficit Is due more 10 an
increase Of expenditure than to a de-
cline Of revenue.
During the first six months Of the
fiscal year. which ended last June 30.
abe total treasury receipts were SS17.-
4i2.629. There were only S2s3.f22
So during the FIRST SIX months Of the
fiscal year now current. which shows
a falling on OF S2S,SS9.766. But the
expenditures during the corresponding
periods were s326.sl5.059 and $751;
SHASTA respectively. This is an In
crease Of expenditure Of S3O.S9S.315,
which accounts for substantially more
shan half OF the actual deficiency.
The deficit for the present fiscal
year threatens 20 run up TO $780,. O0O.-
900, and the deficit OF the next fiscal
year. according to Secretary OF the
Treasury CortelyOu. win be very close
20 the sum OF Sl4S.O0O.OO0. This

that thieves had paid him a visit
Mr.. Goldman believes that there
must have been one Of the gang in the
store when he closed up Saturday
night. as none Of the doors or win

were worth $12 each. In addition TO

which were valued at $500.
Seven dollars which were left in
the cash register for change were not
touched.
The authorities are making a dill
