Washington. = Taxpayers who vision the government as wading into a hopeless swamp of debt needn't be unduly alarmed. Taxpayers who see the future as an endless par ade of higher and higher fed erdal taxes may take hope.
 The debt being piled up in fighting for recovery is not yet hopeless.
 The trade upturn which has been ray of daylight to. many busi- ness man also has begun to put little lining in your Uncle Sam's fiat pockctbook.
 His income is increasing, and increasing so healthily that the state of his pocketbook is rather | favorable than not"
 Outlook Held Hopeful
 You may take the word of l.. H. Parker for that. He's chief of staff of the joint committee on | internal revenue taxation, and it's he who supervises the gathering of information on which congressman later base tax policies.
 And Parker feels that, so far as incoming revenue is concerned, the governments situation is dis tinctly hopeful"
 Today's deficits have two causes. It's not only that Uncle Sam is spending money like, water in fight 1 ing the depression. That's but one side of it. The other side is that, | as business stagnated, his income | fell off sickeningly.
 That's the side that's picking up | as business picks up. Here's how | it works: Miscellaneous internal | revenue taxes (not including the | income tax) put SIGHTS, IA into | the federal purse in October. In | August they produced $135. 900, 900. Compare that with August, 1882, l when they produced $64,000r000. Pickup Shown in Taxes
 Take a typical case of such a | tax, the tobacco tax. The rate | hasn't been changed for years. | Therefore, the proceeds from 1t ! make a pretty good index of busi- ness. In August, 1883, it netted | Uncle Same 49,70O,O00, compared to S5,500. 900 in August, 1892.
 That's better than $5,0O0, ,000 dividend to Uncle Same through | business recovery in a single | steadily ever since April.
 The playing card tax (10 cents | a pack) .netted $501. 900 in August | 1883, compared to $264,000 in | August, 1892, nearly double.
 That gives you picture of how Uncle Same ! stands to gain from | every increase in business that he | can foster. Harvest From Liquor
 Very soon now, further income should begin t 0 pour in from | liquor. Estimates vary. Parker be- 1 lieves it should bring not less than $500,000. 900 every year, and some optimistic estimates hae govne as high as a billion. It all depends on how much liquor is used. and on how high the tax can be set without starting excessive bootleg ging.
 Four taxes now on the books the federal additional half-cent tax l on gasoline, and the dividends, ] capital stock, and excess profits taxes of the NRA--are automat- ically repealed as soon as prohi- bition is dead.
 But, despite this, the net tax | gain to the government eery year should be at least $2S0,000.000 | through liquor taxes.
 Further it seems likely that the | income tax reached an al1-time low | in receipts for the, fiscal year ended | June 30, 1933-$620,000.0 000-un- der the highest peace-time rates |

there is no escape from more and bigger taxes.
 The joint committee is working continually on new plans for taxa ton, many of which will be pre- scented at the next. congress.
 Elaborate studies are being made to prevent overlapping of federal state. and local taxes. Senator Ben- nett Clark (Mo.), leader in the effort to get rid of tax-exempt scurities, may make another effort to tax the $40, 1000. 900 900 in se- curities. mostly state and local which now are exempt.
 Legal precedents and plans are being marshaled to get around the constitutional and moral aspects of this change. Revive Sales Levy
 Senator King (Utah) thinks congress must raise $5,000, 900, 900 this session by taxation. and he is studying new plans to get it.
 The sales tax undoubtedly will be given another whir1 this winter. A desperate effort to plug gaping holes revealed in the income tax by the senate stock market investi- gation will be made, but of course such changes can have no effect on this years revenue.
 Most of all, new phase of taxa- ton is getting attention for really the first time.
 'sIt used to be-" says Parker. "that taxation was just the art of plucking the most feathers from the goose with the least squawk- ing
 "Now we have to go much far- ther than that, and consider the social effects of various forms of proposed taxes. as important as the revenue-raising side. and it's becoming more im- portant all the time."

 CODES
 (Metre Borrowed from Kpling) You may talk of facts and codes Until each of us explodes, But they're worth the trying you'll admit; To get right down to cases You can't always turn up aces And every one should do his little bit. Now in this eountrys varied cline Where we're spending of our time With industries many from pins to boots; What's the use of stalling When the president is calling, We might as well all be in cahoots. So if codes are right or wrong Let's have at 'em with song And do right by good old Uncle Sam Soft pedal on the grabbing And all that sort of gabbing Maybe then we'll end this little jam.

Is This Irony?
1t happened at the tennis tourna-
ment two weeks ago. A crowd of
boisterous people came along in a
truck, uttering belittling remarks
about tennis, about those who were
playing, their scores, etc.
Those playing had come from rather
large cities. They became annoyed
and glanced around. A bystander,
also from a large town, remarked to
them, Gust bunch of hicks"
But the clicks" were a bunch of
reforestation workers from Balti-
more.
Pm glad that you weren't guilty of
scattering all that paper over town
on Wednesday. 1t makes the streets
rather unsightly and visitors to the
town might think it was a general
practice.
This weekend there are three
dances. Couldn't about two of those
have been saved for next January or
February when the wind doth blow
and so doth the snow and those who
dig in here for the winter are getting
callouses for doing so much sitting?
Heavens! I've worked two minutes
overtime. Now you just finish this
yourself. But try and get paid for it.
