TAX RAISE PLAN
GAINING
IN CONGRESS

Congressional sentiment for a
tax boost increased perceptibly
today following publication of the
Treasury statement showing q
deficit of more than $4,000, 900
for the first three months of the
present fiscal year.
While Congress always Is re-
luctant to impose new tax bur.
dens, returning members are al
most unanimous in declaring
some action Is inevitable.
Economy Not Enough
Treasury figures on income and
Inustoms receipts since July /,
the beginning of the current
fiscal year, indicated the deficit
may be from two to two and half
billion dollars by next July. This
is added to a 5000. .0O0, 900 deficit
marked up during the last fiscal
year.
The Administration thus Is left
with the choice of issuing bonds
and increasing the public debt
or softening the blow Ct new
taxes. It is generally admitted
the most rigid economy cannot
bridge the gap.
Decision Up To Hoover
Final decision. it was indicated,
will rest with President Hoover.
The Treasury Is preparing to
present the situation before him
with a recommendation for
moderate tax 0oost, probably both
on incomes and on luxuries.
The administrations attitude
is expected to be defined by De-
cefnber Z, when Congress meets.
While some members predict
tax raise regardless of the ad-
ministration's attitude, it is con-
sidered doubtful whether it would
be voted against Mr.. Hoover's
recommendation.
