DEATH AND TAXES
 ARE INEVITABLE
Latter Can Be Overcome-Ha Of National Debt Consists Of Interest On Bonds, Etc.
 By ROBERT w. HAYES

the state after satisfactorily proving their need of the improve ment and being able to show finan- cial responsibility (the same as it was able to show the investment bankers). would print it's own bonds and deposit them with the National Credit Corporation as col lateral receiving currency in re- turn. A nominal charge of say 1 percent would be paid by the state to cover the cost of the transac- tion and provide for an insurance fund to be set aside as reserve for contingencies.
 At the end of each year the state would pay back to the Ma tional Credit Corporation say 6 percent of the principal. Thus each year the currency would be called in and at the end of seventeen years the National Credit Corpora tion would have retired the cur rency-the bonds would be can celled and the state would have highway that cost the taxpayers only ten million dollars.
 It is estimated that the adoption of such a plan would place in cir- culation about two and Q half bil- lion dollars of new currency the first year of operation. There would be a like increase the second year-but a percentage of that is- sued the first year will be retired and so on the process would con- tinue. If the retirement rate should be fixed at percent--the entire amount that was issued the first year would be redeemed by the end of the seventeenth year. lrrom that time forward the an- nual retirement would about equal the amount issued. At that time the stock of money would be (probably) about thirty billion dol- lars-thus replacing that much credit that would bear interest. The plan if put into effect would not be made retroactive to include any present bonded indebtedness of these four types of corporate bodies.
 It would be most progressive step if the governors of states and mayors of cities, who are now harrassed with the problems of taxation, and who are forced to re- sort to continued borrowing, would meet to discuss such a plan. The president is making a determined effort to readjust our social order but even the federal government cannot borrow our way out of the depression. The present interest bearing obligations are about the utmost that could be expected to be eventually liquidated without If we cannot overcome "Death" at least let us try to overcome this increasing "Tax Burden"

Roosevelt's recovery policies as Q whole, however, will be rather solidly supported. Economic devel- opments will govern the extent to which they are attacked.
 Right now there's a display of confidence as the nation prepares to enter 1884 and a storm against both MIRA and AAA has died down in the last few weeks.
 MORE AID FOR BUNSINESS Even if conditions should grow worse and tthe president asked for an extension of power to meet them with more drastic measures, he probably would be given what he wanted. Alternatives are scarce.
 Among new emergency meas ures anticipated, the mos timpor- tant one would provide for direct REC loans to industries for meet ing payrol1S and increasing em- ployment.
 Upwards of $3,o00, ,000, ,O00-- much of 1t for repayable loans may be asked for the emergency program, in addition to the $2,- 600,000.00O to which 1t is hoped to hold the normal budget. The amount, however, is dependent on the extent of business recovery and employment.
 BILLIONS MAY BE SPENT
 Tentative probabilities include nearly $2,000,000,000 for public works, from $250,000,000 to $50O,- 100000 for direct unemployment relief, $350,00O,0 for civil works, and $300,000,00 for conservation camps.
 About $S50,000.000 has been spent on the emergency account since July, but that includes less than ,$20O,000,000 of the $3,30O,- 100000 public workse fund, which has nearly all been allocated.
 Then there will be appropria- tions for operating expenses of MIRA, AAA, and other groups.
 Hearings and debate on appro- priations bills will turn the sharp- shooters loose. Officials will be summoned to give accountse of stewardship, and many of them expect close cross-questioning.

 result may be to abolish the com- pany union system.
 The amount of new public works funds may not be decided until late in the session. Spring is ex- pected to bring the full effects of the billions already allocated. The sum will be at least $1,500,000,000.
 INITIATION TO FORE <. Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, who thought $3,300,000,000 was too little to begin with, will fight for a $10,00O.0O0,000 program as a mild method of wealth redistribution which would increase mass pur- chasing power.
 Emergency relief funds also will be requested in accordance with apparent need. Four million per- sons unemployed under the civil works plan, but President Roose- welt hopes to taper off that project by May, with the thought that most of the workers will be em- ployed otherwise.

 Agriculture will figure most spec tacularly through the demand from farm regions for imitation. The AAA and the crop reduction pro- gram will be closely scrutinized on the Hill, however, and there may be a movement to abolish the ments and loans have reduced the processing taxes.
 Wheat, cotton, and corn-hog pay farm unrest of few weeks ago and returning congressman reflect the decliuing bitterness toward A. Farm prices stand at only 61 per cent of the price parity which the A sets as it's goal, but that's an increase from 50 in March.
 GUARANTEE PLEA FUTILE
 Thanks to price increases and crop-cut bonuses, farm income has risen from 00,00O,00O in 1882 to $6,5O0,O00,OO0 in 1893. The only loud complaints now come from the cattle country.
 Demands for cost-of-production guarantees will be in vain.

Congress can eliminate some of their activities if 1t so desires, simuly cutting out the money for carrying them on.
 EXPENSE IS DEPENDED
 The administration will be pre- pared. to defend the size of the recovery bill, insisting that it's worth investing five or ten billion dollars of federal money in an eff fort to regain 40 billions of na- tional income.
 General Hugh Johnson of MIRA will face the congressional on- slaught with the comforting knowledge that big bushes has become increasingly cohplacent about his program. The steel, coal, lumber, and textile indus tries report they are doing nicely under the codes.
 General w. W. Atterbury, rail- road magnate and republican poli- tician, just has endorsed the Roose- welt policies. Such attitudes are bound to be reflected in congress.
 NRA's part in a 34 per cent in- crease in factory employment and return to 1891 employment levels, along with an estimated increase of $2,500,000,000 in payrolls, will be stressed heavily.

By recommendation and ap- prova1 of the Advisory Committee of the Civil Works Administration the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tic Commerce has been authorized to proceed with the taking of a real property inventory in a se- lected group of cities in the United States. Assistance in this work will be rendered by the Census Bureau without whose facilities the project could not be concluded in the short tfme to be devoted to 1t. There are two general aspects of the inventory, i.e.. the physical property inventory and the finan- cial study. It is planned that the physical project shall include q complete enumeration of all resi- dential structures. with major ap- performances, in the selected cities. The field work for this project must be completed by February 15. The financial study, or second phase of the inventory shall be less extensive, nevertheless, g thorough study in certain sections of selected cities of rentals, mortgages, inter- est rates, taxes, delinQuencies, etc, will be made. Tabulation of this material, although not included m the original budget, Is expected to be completed in the shortest possi- ble time.
 Object
 The Real Property Inventory was conceived for Q two fold pur- pose namely; First, To provide temporary work during the in- tensified endeavor of the Public Works Administration to get men back to their jobs. in which its share of employment would be ap- proximately 12,000 men for six weeks; Second, to secure signifi- cant data dealing with the location and character of structures in SC. lected communities, tabulating facts dealing with occupancy, va cancy, family units and extent of double-up, type of building, ma- terial of construction, conditions of structure, epoch, services, such as elevators, heating apparatus, fuel used. water supply, refrigera- tion, sanitary facilities. transpor- tation, number of auxiliary build ings as premises, with financial date to include rentals, property value and ownership.
 The surveys will cover what is practically a virgin field, the data answering some of the questions as to the character of existing housing facilities, facts which should be valuable to the new housing and sium clearance pro- jects. The data should have value for Congress in planning legisla- tion, to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and other public and private credit agencies as 8 basis for more intelligent extension of credit, to local communities in city planning and tax revision projects; to real estate dealers and builders and contractors in business plan ming.
 Value to Architecture-Bu
 and Construction
 It is believed that this project will hasten recovery in the build ing industry by supplying and a source of hitherto or assembled data, and the releasing of this information in the shortest possible time. Since the work Is being done on city basis some of the smaller places will be completed, tabulated, and by February 15. Since the work is in a field which Is practically untouched, the result will serve as a guide to the pro- posed census of structures to be taken later.

In this way new activity in civic expansion can be melted with it's resultant possl- bilities.
 Procedure
 Sixty-three cities in all parts of the country are included in the sur vey. This excludes such large cit- ies as New York. Washington, Chi cago which are assuming the re- sponsibility for similar canvasses of their own territory. Experiences lllc 1CW CAIlCSs WACtC ooA " v have been made in the past, are be- ing drawn up in order to facilitate the progress of the work, and tc assure a greater measure of suc- cess in the completion of this in- ventory.
 The actual field work, conducted with the facilities of the Bureau of Census has begun. A staff of spe- cially equipped and trained adyis- CTS is directing the wor kof Census enumerators who are local workers from the ranks of the unemployed. Instruction of these newly em- ployed workers includes the or ganization of district groups. how to fill out the schedules, serious ness of purpose, oath of office. dis tribution of supplies and actual demonstration of the house to- house canvas.
 There shall be no delay in re- porting and enumerating results in order that statistics may be com piled in the shortest possible time. Although the dead line for collec- ton of all schedules is early in February, 1884, no date is set for complete tabulation.

 It is imposed on packers. millers, and other processors--who pass 1t to consumers-andt the proceeds go to compensate farmers participat- ing in the reduction plans
 RESENTMENT SUBSIDIES
 The processing tax probably won't be abandoned this year, de- spite some sentiment for raising the money through another form of taxation.
 The farm credit administration will come in for attacks, on the ground that it hasn't helped mort gagged farmers sufficiently and has made to low apraisals, but reor- ganization of the FCA is only just now being completed, and in this case, too, farmer resentment seems to be subsiding.
