UNCLE SAM HAS A
PROPHET OF FINANCE
JOS. S. MCCOY, OFFICIAL gov,
EMINENT GUESSER," BUSY
MAN. MAKES ESTIMATES.

Joseph S. Mccoy, known as the
government guesser," has welghty
occupation, for he is none other than
the adviser and dopester to the sec
rotary of the treasury, the director OF
the budget and the finance commit
tees of the United States,
The government must know how
much money it should expect from
its income tax next year. 1t has got
to have line on what the customs
will bring in. There is group OF
taxes classed as miscellaneous internal
revenue items, including such taxes as
those paid on automobiles.
Has Just Guessed.
1t is necessary to get at the facts,
for laws must be written this year to
drag in the money. Mccoy is the man
who does the guessing on all these
problems
He has just turned in his guesses
for the fiscal year 192425. They are
for the use OF the secretary OF the
treasury in making up the budget
which, in turn, will be passed on to
the coming congress.
To do this Mccoy has to look INTO
the future. He must estimate the tax
returns for next year. which Will, OF
course, depend upon the prosperity OF
next year. McCoy's estimates there
fore constitute an official forecast OF
the good or bad times ahead.
Mccoy occupies a solemn room IN
the far corner of the treasury depart
ment. He is styled the "actuary' OF
the treasury. An actuary in the nsur-
ance world figures probabilities OF
life. Mccoy figures probabilities oil
returns from tax measures levied
Prosperity to Continue.
Income and excess profits taxes
this year brought in $1,000, 100000 "
Mccoy says. Next year | figure they
will bring in little more. That means
people will be earning a little more,
industry will be a little more profit
able good times for the United States.
Miscellaneous internal revenue
taxes, | estimate, will bring in little
more than the S745 100000 they yield
ed this year This means that more
automobiles will be sold.
Customs duties this year yielded
$500, 100000, Next year they will yield
a little less There was a peculiar
boom in importations this year which
will not hold up. The manufacturers
were buying heavily in raw and semi
manufactured materials.
This was the banner year at the
treasury department. There never has
been such year before in the history
OF the country. The prosperity of the
United States is something stupend'
Gus. Next year will be better. There
is period oS prosperity ahead.
Cigarettes Help Out.
Asked how he can tell whether the
country will be prosperous or not, Nc
Coy replied that cigarettes help him
in his considerations.
They are barometer" the guess
er" said. when | want to get flash
on the prosperity OF the nation | turn
first to the treasury return from the
cigarette tax.
Il might find that the cigarette tax
returns had climbed steadily from
S15.000000 a month to $20,000,0 900
month or that they had slumped
down to $10.000,000 a month.
The tendency OF the cigarette taxes
indicates the national tendencies of the
times. These masses smoke cigarettes.
When money is plentiful they smoke
them profigately. When money be-
gins TO get tight they go easy on the
smokes.

A SPASNI OF REFORM

People are looked at askance by
some, if they say anything against
any movement coming under the
head of reform They ask why any
decent citizen should oppose a cause
which aims to prevent people from
doing things that may not be good for
them. Even If drinking, for instance,
does bring fictitious elation, cheer,
there is no denying that it causes lot
of misery, such retormers say. Why
not stop it everywhere? Even If
dancing does give pleasure and furn-
ishes an outlet for the surplus energy
of people, certainly Il brings the male
and the female CT tine species into
proximity-and this. reformers say,
is often putting temptation in the way
Of the weak. What K smoking is
solace, playing oards pleasure /?

SHORT AUTO LICENSES.

The proposal to incorporate into
the general motor vehicles" bill a
provision which will relieve car own
ers from paying a license fee for
months during which they do not use
their cars, meets with general ap-
prevail A man should be no more
months his car remains idle than he
should be compelled to pay license
no intention of doing Many men use
motor vehicles during the summer
months only. To compel them to pay
fee for the winter months is in
reality penalizing them for doing
business by means of motor vehicles.
The present flaw in the license law
is merely one of the matters that will
be corrected as time goes on and as
the laws are changed to meet condi-
tions developing out of the growing
ness and pleasure. 1t cannot be ex-
pected that great new industry will
come without bringing new problems
TO be studied and met as fast as they
are presented. There should be no
hesitation in altering the law so that
people will pay license fee to oper-
ate cars only for the time such cars
are to be in operation.

WRONG AGAIN, JOHN.

John Bull Is pictured as a iovial
sort of an old fellow, well-fed and
self-satisfed. But Master John must
not think that he is the complete
cheese, to speak colloquially 4
newspaper published by some of his
kin, mentioning the ship subsidy bill
in this country, declares: America S
Dreams OF Ocean Supremacy SKATER
ed by Britain" and then goes on to
assert editorially that: THE dream
was shattered finally by the American
taxpayer but it's true causes of fail
ure were economic. America could
not build ships as chcaply as we do
or as we'll"
If anything could have assisted
President Harding in his fight for the
ship subsidy bill it would have been
a challenge from England on this
point. There was just one thing that
killed the bill and that was that the
feeling in this country is so strong
against subsidies that il could not be
overcome by arguments, sound in
some particulars, that we ought not
throw away the ships it had cost us
so much to build. We have these
ships, was the argument for the bill.
The government can not run them
without a great annual loss. Private
interests will be able to run them
after a while at profit. In the tran
sition period give those private in
terests subsidy to save them from
loss.
But the fact that it appeared some
interests would receive the benefits
of the subsidy although they did not
need it, and the fact that the Ameri.-
can sentiment is against subsidizing
private industry, induced our repre-
sentatives to accept the loss of the
ships rather than go contrary to an
American principle.

Danish both, say some reformers be,
cause, in some cases, people spend
too much money on smoking or It In
lures them, and playing cards In some
cases leads to gambling. Put all these
things out OF the way and no one
would do any wrong,
People who argue in this way re-
fuse to recognize that men and women
are human, They can be led through
suggestion and education Just so far,
Beyond this point they cannot be
driven, They will rebel-and when
rebellion comes laws will be broken
which all recognize to be wise and
necessary laws, This is the danger
decent" people fear when they dare
to say a ward against carrying reforms
too far, Out In Utah they have made
q law forbddlng smoking in public
places; another state has Just passed
n similar law, Now comes the news
that South Carolina may soon have
law which would prohibit billiard and
pool playing in a public place.
Is there anyone whose vision is so
clouded by worry over the sins of
Others and by self-complaisancy that
he cannot fail to see the danger
ahead? We urge obedience to the law
with all our force. Obtaining obedi-
ence TO the law becomes harder and
harder every day 1t would be an evil
time for this country If the day should
ever come when, all the laws advocat-
ed in this spasm OF reform being on
the statute books, the people should
form a great, independent army of
personal liberty and advance under
the banner of Protest"

AS WE CHANGE,

A common error is to mistake the
change in ourselves for world
changes. People are more liberal
than they used to be-" or people are
less liberal than they used to be- are
phrases often uttered. while my
opinion on that matter has changed
is rarely heard. Granted that people
do change, their habits of mind and
action become more free or less free,
nevertheless our own viewpoint
changes quite as much, and we are
not apt to recognize these changes in
ourselves as we are 20 see the alter
ed conditions about us.
1t may be that time has brought the
change to us, or it may be that
change of associates makes the world
appear different. A year ago you
might have been living in a great
city; today you are living in New
England and in a smaller place
Naturally the sights aboutyou make
you think the world is changing. Or
you may have been living right here
a year ago. A year ago you were
younger than you are today-and
even today you may still be young.
Nevertheless that year has made you
diSapprove of some things of which
you approved year ago and approve
Of other things you thought trivial
twelve months back. When we stop
to remember that the very young
have, today, the viewpoint we had
when we were very young, and that
we, quite probably, will have much
the same viewpoint years from now
that the older people possess today,
we will see the changing world with
more understanding. There is not
much necessity to emphasize the
changes going on in the world; we
see them and speak of them con-
stantly. But it is worth while for all
of us to remember that we are not
standing still any more than the
world is standing still and we, chang
ing, keep dressing ourselves up in a
new costume which brings with it a
new Viewpoint

THE STATE SHOULD HELP

Governor Templeton, in opposing
appropriations for educational pur'
poses was emphatic in his declaration
that the wards of the state needed all
the help the state could afford TO give
and for this reason there should be a
DELAY In going on with the Normal
: school projects. Disresarding the
merits of the matter of the Normal
I, schools, one may see good reason
why the governor would give his APP
proval to the bill introduced by SEN
ator Covert asking state aid for the
Rocky Hill sanitarium in this city
where tuberculosis patients are taken
care of, thus relieving the state
sanitariums. An appropriation of sl0,-
GOO a year for two years will be ask
ed.
This institution in New Britain is
especially deserving of aid. Its history
is one of continued effort and, from
small beginnings it has developed in
to a place the worth Of which is
generally recognized In this city.
There was a time in the administra-
ton OF Mayor Curtis when so few suf
ferers from tuberculosis availed them
selves of its benefits that it was
thought it might be advisable to dis
continue it. The health authorities
worked hard to educate the people to
the idea of its value. Resort was even
made to changing the name from one
which was not pleasant, to the
Rocky Hill Sanitarium," in the hope
that the suggestion of health and
strength contained in the name would
influence those who suffered to find
relief there. The city has worked
hard to make the institution attrac-
tive and worth while. 1t has ac-
complished fine results. The state
should recognize the educational as
well as the practical work New Brit
ain has done for these sufferers who
may be made strong productive citi-
zens once more.
