Federal Deficit
Under 2 Billion

WASHINGTON, June 26.-FOr
the third successive year treasury
receipts are expected to fall below
expenditures, and the federal gov
eminent will end its 1898 fiscal
year on Friday with a deficit of
anproximately $1,750,000,O0O.
During the past three years the
national debt has increased by So,
65O,O76,14O and now totals $21,-
S35,385,981. Another half a bill
lion dollars may be added to this
figure by the end of June due to
the treasury's financing during
the middle of the month.
The $22,OOO,O0O,O00 debt will
be the nearest approach to the
peak debt of August 81, 1919,
when the government owed S26,-
596,7O1,64S. The pre-war debt of
March IS, 1917, was $1,2S2,O44,-

CALIFORNIA FACES
RELIEF ISSUE ALSO

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June
26.-The state of California will
go to the polls on Tuesday to vote
on the repeal of the 18th amend
ment. A heavy vote is predicted
by most officials.
Taxation, unemployment relief
and legalized horse race betting
are among other issues to be de-
cided by the people at the same
election. A $20,000,O0O state UNI
employment relief issue is before
the voters and the tax proposal
would revise the states system
and permit diversion of the gaso-
line tax into the general fund.
The grape industry has entered
largely into the question of re-
peal, vets maintaining in the
campaign that 10000 jobs would
be provided in this industry by
the repeal Of the amendment.
Dry strength is expected to
come from southern California,
where the Rev. Robert p. Shuler,
prohibition candidate for the Uni
ted States senate last year, has
been active against repeal.

Aimee Admits To

Semple MACPHERSON Hutton, the
Los Angeles evangelist, admit
ted in a hospital last night that
she was responsible for the cable
to her husband in California an
nouncing the birth to them of a
son here.
The admission of the hoax was
made through her surgeon, Dr..
Henri Bove, who said he sent
the message himself, "on the di-
rect suggestion of Aimee, in an
effort to ascertain how private
messages to the Angelus Temple
leaked out to the press, reval-
ing her presence in Paris"
Mrs Hutton's condition was
still grave, it was said, following
a serious abdominal operation
by the famous gynecologist.
DR.. Bove revealed the faxed
birth message came back to Paris
from America almost, he said,
before it could have been deliver
ed to Hutton in Los Angeles, en-
abling Mrs. Hutton to direct the
inquiry and discover the news
leak.
The sugeon, however, refused
to specify how they found the
leak OF what it was, saying only:

Administrator OF
Public Works For
NC. To Be Chosen
Washington Hears APP
pointment To Be Forth
coming This Week

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The
name of a public works admins
traitor for North Carolina is eX-
pected to be made public this
week by Col. Donald H. Sawyer,
general supervisor of the expen-
diture of $535,O00,0OO on pub
lie works program.
North Carolina is to receive ap-
proximately $9,5OO,O0O for public
road purposes and proposed
military construction allotment OF
$1,291,950.
The provision of the allOtments
that all road projects must be lnl-
tiated by the states in the same
manner as other federal-ald prof.
ects, has given rise to the belief
that, before the state admlnlstra-
tor is named, Colonel Sawyer will
consult Governor Ehringhars and
the highway commission of North
Carolina.
Already Colonel Sawyer and his
aides in the departments Of agrl-
culture and interior are ready TO
consider proposals by the states
and hope that work may be start
ed in some sections in order to get
unemployed on the July 15 pay
roll.
1t was stated that Inc army
could begin on the proposed en-
largement of Fort Bragg at cost
of S9S5,964 and Pope field nearby
at an expense of $254,T56 within
As hours by advertising for LIDS
as the plans have been in readl-
ness for years.
The provision of the road allot-,
ment that not more than 90 per
cent of funds apportioned to any
state may be used outside Of .mu,,
inequalities has already caused
tentative applications to pour in
for municipal improvements, and
Washington tomorrow will be the
first large city to present its con-
crete program accompanied by an
application.
Thus far no North Carolina city
has filed application but several
are expected during the week.
In some quarters, it is insisted
that naming state administrators
may be postponed until President
Roosevelt returns. Some southern
senators are contending that angi-
neers are trying to usurp all the
key positions to the exclusion OF
perhaps more practical men and
have accordingly in some instances
protested on the grounds that
without congressional action the
public works and recovery pro-
grams would have been impos-
sible. 1

FEDERAL TAX
now
Being PLANNED
Alternative Proposals Are
Whipped Into Shape For
Next Congress
ARE HOPING TO MEET
CHANGING CONDITIONS

WASHINGTON. June 26 (UP)
A general revision Of federal tax
laws to remove present inequali-
lies and to bring them in line with
changing economic conditions Will
be presented to the next congress,
it was learned last night.
Drastic changes IN financial
conditions and in the lives OF
many citizens as well as tapping
of new ta. sources through the
possible repeal of the eighteenth
amendment have caused house
and senate committees to take up
the question of 4 revision Of tax
laws.
Present tax laws, according TO
governmental official. are ObnoX-
ious and have fallen short by bill
lions of dollars to meet the fed
eral governments expenditures.
NONE DEFINITE
A number Of alternate tax
plans are being whipped together
at concurrent meetings of sub
committees of the house appro-
priations committee and the SEN
ate finance committee in closed
sessions. None of them can be
considered definite, however, until
such uncertainties as government
revenue over the next few months
and possible repeal of the 18th
al,N,A,t 0pn pnnnnUlH
Among tn general proposals
now under discussion are widen
inc of present nuisance taxes"
as those on automobile tires,
gasoline and mechanical refriger-
ators into q low rate general sales
tax, a raising of exemptions on
personal income takes and eliml-
nation of duplication of federal
and state taxes.
Even with the numerous NUS
ance taxes put into effect last
July and with some $30,OOO,0OO
in beer revenue in the past three
months. the Governments income
from direct taxes for the current
1888 fiscal year ending June 70.
next exceeds only slightly the
Sl,60O,OOO,00O collected in the
preceding fiscal year.
BURDEN TOO HEAVY
Present taxes like the excise
rates on automobiles mechanical
refrigerators, SPORTING goods AMI
similar products have been a.
tackled as placin" too heavy bur-
den on one class of citizens:
Many administration officials
are counting on early repeal OF
the 18th amendment to correct
many of present alleged tax o.
~~ularities.
Revenues derived from various
liquors by the federal government
in the fiscal year of 1918
amounted to $449.8lO,COO, &C
cording to the department OF com
merce. This exceeds the current
annual incomn of the federal gov
eminent from personal income
taxes. 1t is higher than the ar
, nual collections from cigaret taxes
and is double the amount of reVe-
nue. received by the various excise
taxes put into effect last July.
Because of the many uncertain
ties such as a possibility of repeal
of the 18th amendment and pros
poets of swollen federal revenues
from the Improvement in busl.
ness, the governments tax experts
will not work out a definite tax
revision plan at the present time
| but will prenare many drastic
! changes in the revenue laws to be
presented to the next congress.
