economy due to the widespread
drain Of the income tax law on the
voters pocketbook, appropriation
bills must be minutely examined.
Must Pay Deficit.
There's bigger problem, how
ever, than the mere balancing Of
budget this year. It's to find an ex-
ira $500. .000,0 900 to pay the deficit
which has arisen for the fiscal year
beginning next June. Additional
taxes would not be popular. And
yet revenues must be increased
somehow.
The treasury department has not
announced any plan by which it
hopes to wipe out that big deficit
Probably it will be tempted to re-
main silent so as to influence con-
gress to economic still further.
But naturally there will be a de-
mand that the executive branch of
the government demonstrate how
the deficit is to be met.
One of the principal reasons FOR
the deficit is the shrinkage Of the
tax receipts which is partially due
to the poof business conditions of
the early part of this year and the
preceding year. But business con-
ditions are better now than they
have been and the truth is there
should be noticeable increase in
revenues. Nobody, of course, can
tell how much will be receivel
= nom these sources. Nobody can
estimate either how much will be
derived from the new tariff bill,
though its sponsors are not claim
ing that very much will be brought
n that way Some amendments to
me tax laws are certain to be pro-
posed in the extra session which
VIII follow after March 4.
President Harding himself has
announced that he isn't satisfied
With the present law. The radicals
Who want the excess profits taxes
restored are eager for an oppor-
unity to have the whole tax ques-
uon reopened. But the session
which follows after March will be
uose on the heels Of a presidential
ompaign and from a political
viewpoint 1t will be essential for
ue administration to advocate a
ecwnward revision Of the tax laws
Htner than increases.
Bonus to Be Renewed.
The soldier bonus movement is,by
means dead and will continue

srevision Of the tax laws Is pro-
