THE TAX JOKER

The best ally the tax collec-
tor has is public lethargy. In
other words, the soaring tax
rates in the United States are
directly traceable to ignorance,
indifference or a "Why should
| worry" attitude.
In the long run, the public
passes on every law that goes
through our legislatures. Pub
lie officials, whether they know
it or not, are simply the SER
wants of the people. They
continue in their jobs only thru
the peoples favor. The ballot
box is the mightiest of all
weapons.
Today the cost of every
branch of government is sky
rocketing. 1t has reached the
point where we pay until it
hurts--it is approaching the
point where it may be impossi-
BILE for US to pay at all. More
than % per cent of the nation
al income goes to the public
treasures. twenty-five cents
out of each dollar is thus stopp-
d from providing permanent
Jobs, from developing industry,
from productive use.
The fact that a majority of
the American people believe
they are tax-free, is the great
tax joker They pay little or
nothing in the way Of direct
taxes. They think that the
burden of government is borne
by the minority which pays in
come and property taxes. But
government would 60 broke to-
morrow if it had to depend for
revenue on that minority. The
great bulk OF revenue is obtain
ed indirectly--from taxes on the
things we wear. the things we
eat, the things we use. Go to a
show, drink a glass of beer, take
a ri te in your car, buy some
groceries switch on a light, and
you are paying taxes. Part of
the cost of every product re-
presents the taxes the concern
making it must pay.
Remember the tax joker can
trump all your earnings.

BANK L|bERAL|TY
INCREASE SOUGHT
Great Proportion of Short
Term Paper Held Not
Necessary Now.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Financial circles intimated today
that plans are being considered to
encourage more nberality on the part
Of banks in lending money The
timidity of the individual investor
would be overcome through granting
of longer term loans.
1t is the opinion in some high cir
cles that, under changed conditions,
sound banking does not require so
great a proportion of short term paper
as it did before New Deal develop
ments.
Viner will Report.
The idea is suggested that, although
dearth of self-liquidating short-term
commercial obligations continues,
other types Of loans have acquired
hquidity they formerly did not possess.
DR.. Jacob Viner, special assistant
to Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau, will report to the Treasury head
soon on recent conference of Federal
bank examiners. The report is ex-
pected to form the basis for a policy
of bank examinations which will point
toward a more liberal use of credit.
Dread of Runs Removed.
Officials of one Government financ-
ing agency believe that since banks
belonging to the Federal Deposit In
surance Corp. no longer dread runs"
they are justified in owning a larger
amount of longer term loans than
formerly.
Treasury officials emphasize that
there is no intention of letting down
the bars as to security, and that the
sole objective is to make it more
convenient for banks to hold good
loans of a duration substantially
longer than the customary maturity.

VETERANS BUDGET.
RISES s9),OD0,O)D.
Additional One-Year Costs
Will Be Presented to
Next Congress.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Veterans Administration is pre-
pairing to ask the next Congress for
500 600 600 to meet the first-year cost
of additional veterans payments voted
on Capitol Hill last Spring over Presi-
dent RooSevelt's veto.
Sam NJ. Moore, jr., budget director
of the administration outlays, reported
Yesterday that expenditures ordered
over the Presidents objections were
running very close to his original
estimate.
Last March, when the veterans de-
bate opened, some advocates contend
ed the Veterans Administrator was
greatly eXaggerating the amount the
increased benefits would cost. BY the
end of next March, Moore figured, the
veterans payments restored by Con-
gress will leave 100000, 900 hole in the
administration S546, 748,096 budget
for 1934-5. It is this deficit Con-
gress will be asked to make up in ad-
dition to regular appropriation for the
1856 fiscal year.
Bill Restored Many Cuts.
The fight between the President and
Congress was over how much the ben
efits in some of the claSSificationS
should be increased. In general, the
bill that finally emerged restored many
of the payments cut by the economy
act of 1888 for injuries in the various
classifications and for disqualification.
Another deficiency appropriation Of
approximately S4000,001 also will be
asked by the Veterans Administration
to pay widows and orphans pensions
voted the last session.
Moore, who for more than decade
has calculated the cost of caring for
veterans and their dependents, said
the amount required for widows and
orphans pensions naturally would in
crease in future years.
Pension Base 30 Per Cent.
The new pension legislation provided
pensions for widows and orphans of al
World War veterans dying from dis
abilities of 80 per cent or more.
I'VE estimate there will be 13.90C
such deaths of veterans in the first
year." he said, "and that 1866 widows
and 14,755 children will receive pen
sions as a result"
Moore reported the death rate
among the more than 100000 eX-
service men of World War days had
declined in recent years and now is
considerably less than that of the ci-
william population.
About 10000 deaths of veterans
occur each year he said. This rate
is low compared to the number OF
deaths in the rest of the population
It is due to the fact that the veterans
were picked men, and the great num-
Der of deaths from World War in
juries occurred a number of years
ago"
Moore's estimates of increased out
lays required by the restored veteran
payments in their first year we're:
Civil War cases, S3,745 900; Spanish
American War veterans. S37,427 900;
emergency officers retired on account
Of disabilities, Sl52,9O8; service-con-
nected disabilities of World Wal
veterans. s41.828.7O0; military and
naval insurance. $4,000; new claims
S6,876 900.
The Veterans Administration has
submitted to the Budget Bureau an
estimate for the total requirement for
the year beginning next July l. This
probably will not be made public until
the Presidents budget message to Con-
greSS N January.
