What President Hoover says about
taxes in his annual message will have
considerable bearing, as will the report

improving conditions will bring enough
money to balance the budget. Only
plain figures compiled by the Treasury
will settle that question.
Mr.. Hoover already has said he is
not in favor of general sales tax. but
when he addressed the Senate on the
subject last May, he added:
In order to solve our problem and
give assurance to the country and the
world that We are ready to meet oul
emergencies at any sacrifice, I now
favor an extension for a limited perioc
