Income Tax Law of
1919 s we'd State.
Governor Declares
Denies Allegation That 1t
Was Not Needed: Points
to Financial Difficulty
Averted by It's Enactment

ALBANY, May 21.-The State of New
York would have been financially en-
barrassed if the state income tax law
had not been placed on the statute
book in 1919, Governor Smith declared
to-day n answer to published reports
that the state did not need the income
tax law
Governor Smiths declaration fol
lowed a thorough study Of the situa-
ton. In it he said that had the law
not been enacted it would have to
be enacted now and with tax rate
considerably higher than the one pre-
vailing.
Governor Smith finds that the esti-
mated surplus al hand at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year on July l will
be about $28,000,00 Of this amount
ST. 100000 viii be contributed directly
by the people through the tax on their
clared, is necessary to meet expendi-
lures for the fiscal year beginning
July /. Revenues for next year are
estimated at S125,059, 900, while the
Governor has already signed appro-
priation bills amounting to about
$40, 600 900. This leaves an apparent
deficit Of $15000,000 "Where would
the state be VI h that condition." the
Governor asks, II il were not for the
$28,000000 surplus, which surplus
would have been $1,000 600 less had
there not been an income tax I'M
posed ~
The Governor points out how the es-
Inmates for the fiscal year are neces-
sarily more or less guesswork because
it is impossible for the Comptroller to
foresee exactly how productive the
states various revenue sources are 60
ing 10 be in the next twelve months
period. In this connection he uses
the figures submitted for the fiscal
year of 1920 ending on June 81 as an
illustration, The Comptrollers esti-
mate Of revenue was SOL 500 900. This
amount included $2OOOO.000 expected
to be derived from the income tax.
We can readily sec" said the Gov
ernor, that had the Legislature not en-
acted the income tax the estimated
revenues Of the state would have been
S81509 ,942, and against that appropria-
tions were made of upward of $685.
100000. Obviously, that condition
could not be permitted to obtain, for
the state would have been financially
embarrassed, in that it would have ap-
propriated $4,000 600 with only $751;
1000 to meet it. Consequently, the
income tax had to be enacted or the
Legislature would not have made pro
vision by taxation for the amount Of
money that it had appropriated

charge that ill-prepared material is
accepted at West Point. With regard
to this Secretary Baker said:
"Taking American secondary educa-
ton as it is, | am persuaded that no
college drawing It's students from so
wide a geographical area compares
with West Point in the quality Of the
material it receives. If more uniform
tional. or class selection, surely the
exchange would be bad one for the
national constituency which the Acad-
envy has always had"
The Secretary attacked President
Eliot's criticism of the Regular Army
as an institution. 'If this criticism"
he said, ais taken to imply that a
regular army IN the United States is
menace TO our institutions, or is
provocative of wars or aggressions,
frankly challenge It's historical truth.

reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. ThiA
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF it.
