Tax Program for Ensuing
Year; Income Tax Falls

Uncle Sam ended today the
first quarter of what Is expected
will be the leanest financial year
in history, with a deficit Of close
to $400, ,000, 900, compared with a
surplus of about $50, 100000 Sep
tember 80, 1890. .>
Barring tax increases there will
be an excess of expenditures over
receipts of probably 81 SOC, 900 900,
Even with tax increases, the bud
get cannot be balanced without
borrowing because of the enor-
nous certain deficit.
-. Dangers Are Many
There is no assurance the Ad-
ministration will go to Congress
with a concrete tax program. In
some circles it was believed Secre-
tary Mellon, and possibly PreSi-
dent Hoover, would point out to
Congress in their annual report
and annual message the serious
financial situation of the govern
rnent, the inadequacy of revenue
under the present taxing laws,
the inadviSability of the Continu.
alton of the unbalanced budget
and the necessity for curtailment
OF appropriations.
The Administration might take
this course, awaiting the short
session in 1892 for a definite tax
revision program, which is now
under study by Treasury experts.
It would then be up to Congress
to determine a course. The gen.
eral opinion exists that under
such a situation Congress would
not enact a new revenue bill.
Big Reduction
The proximity of the PreSi-
Dental election has a pronounced
bearing on recommendations for
tax increases at this time.
September income tax cOIIec-
tiOns amounted to about $685.
100000 as compared with .$4S5,.
100000 the same month last year.
For the entire quarter the col

Excerpts From The Herald
February 8, 1910

A new industry is just getting a
start in Sank Centre and vicinity.
The farmers in this locality now
have a fine opportunity to pick up
little easy money. Raising peas
for seed is the thing which is now
attracting attention hereabouts,
and from what The Herald has
been able to ascertain, it's going
to be one Of the best things that
ever struck this neck Of the woods.
Thos. Murray, farmer living a mile
and ahalf north of Sank Centre,
has been raising peas for a few
years past. It was through Mr..
Murray's fundamentally that the
agent Of the firm for whom Mr..
Murray has been growing seed
peas, came to Sank Centre to start
the industry on a large scale. This
agent is G.. w. La Pres and he rep
resents the Leonard Seed Co., of

GLIDING payments of wages during periods of ILL

in 1929 would come to 1909 and in 1928-29 to
1866 Q913-100).
The sum total of these "socialized wages" was
estimated to amount to monthly average of
1883 rubles per wage Garner in 1929 or 215
per cent of the nominal wages In 1928-29 the
monthly average of such services increased to
1852 rubles, or 227 per cent of nominal wages.
The number of persons receiving insurance bene-

in 1881.
The absorption in industry in 1880 of hundreds

Rescue the Political Prisoners in
Poland from Torture and Murder

TO All Workers the World Over!
The new demands of the Pilsidsky govern
ment use all the regulations which obligate the
criminal prisoners against the political prisoners.
In Poland there are thousands of political pris-
oners who are sentenced to long and difficult
terms in prison. In Poland everything is counted
as political crime which was recognized as such
by the Czarist government. Up to the present
day the Czarist code is applied in Poland even
strengthened by new laws. In the old Prussian
and Austrian provinces they looked up the old
paragraphs from the period of absolutism from
the end of the 18th and beginning of the 10Th
century, which have long been discarded in Ger
many and Austria
In Poland death sentences were dealt out Gn
the Lemberg case) for distributing Communist
magazines, and which in the way of Pardon"
were changed to 1918 years hard labor Such
punishment is often applied to girls and boys
still in their minors.
The Czarist government granted the political
prisoners certain concessions. They we're ex-
empted from some of the most degrading regu-
lations. certain clothes, books, and writing ma
terials. The Polish government regarding the
Czarist laws as holy, Is striving to show the po-
litical prisoners these privileges. Now the Pill
sudsky government has ruled that all this shall
Immediately be taken from the political pris-
oners. Not only Communist beliefs are punished
with difficult prison terms in Poland Thousands
of partisan workers and farmers had the
same fate for opposing the bestial regime of the
fascist dictatorship because they wanted to res
cue their meagre livelihood, their self-respect
from the horrors Of the government.
