JlOn.
However, the Treasury now gets
q, break on the overlapping Of the
fiscal and the calendar year. The
fiscal year, 1896, comes to an end
june 30, 1886. But in that period
the Treasury gets the benefit of the
first-quarter income tax payments
of this year.
THESE income tax payments
n were expected to be larger
than last years because of the
increase in business and the rise
of profits and also because there
had been a slight boost in corpora
ton taxes.
If we go back to the end Of Feb
ruary, OF this year, we will find
that government receipts were
nearly $200,OOO000 less than ordi-
nary expenditures. But now with
each day as the income tax receipts
make their way into the state
ments, this condition improves so
that as Of March Is, the ordinary
deficit is reduced to about $78,000,-
600.
However, last year there was
no deficit as of this date in the Or
binary budget. And the total def
cit for both ordinary and emer-
gency budgets was less than it is
this year, even with these new tax
collections in.
This is not due to any decrease
in receipts, but to an increase in
expenditures all around, Recovery
expenses have been less than last
year but regular expenditures have
been more-$360, 100000 more. This
must remain one of the inexplica-
BILE facts in the Administrations
financial affairs.
T SAY recovery expenditures have
i been less. AS a matter of fact,
they merely seem less They are
made less by deducting from the
expenditures the sums which have
been returned to the government
AS credits from various government
loans which have been liquidated.
One important fact stands out
in the governments money state
ments 1t is that public works ex-
penditures are substantially less
this year than last. This fact is
reflected in our capital goods in
dustries.
What bearing has all this on
business? Apparently we may look
for continuance of government
expenditures one way or another
at about the same pace as last
year. If this is so we may look for
a moderate continuance of the lift
in business, unless, of course, it is
interrupted by European war,
which each day seems more re-
mote for the time being. The gov
eminent is going to keep up ex-
penditures sufficiently to keep
business stimulated.

MERCHANTS GET
BONUS BUSINESS
BY TAKING |0U'S
Luxuries, Clothing Is Bought
on Deferred Payment
Basis.
BY VINCENT LYONS
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, March 26.-The
81 ,985, 100000 soldiers bonus money
which will be distributed begin
ming June is has found many New
York merchants so eager to grab
slice of 1t they are blissfully
accepting /. o. us of veterans in
payment for immediate delivery of
miscellaneous merchandise, it was
! learned today.
While reports of such activity
thus far have been limited to the
metropolitan area and surrounding
territory, it is believed that the
practice has, or shortly will, spread
to other sections of the country.
Chief lures in the campaign have
been semi-luXuries in which class
fall radios, refrigerators and cleo
trlcal appliances. 1t also is believed
that a fair amount of clothing and
furniture has been bought via the
same method.
Must Wait Three Months
The eagerness with which these
retailers are moving to get as much
Of the veterans business on their
books as possible is seen in the fact
that exactly three months will
elapse before the cash flows from
the governments hands through
through the postoffices and into
the pockets of the veterans.
Although it is difficult to ascer-
tain how muchNbonus money already
has been spent, it may loom large
by the time payment date rolls
around. Some retailers have made
a refinement on the I. o. u. method
by featuring it in promotional work
but making actual sales under a de-
ferred payment contract or an in
stalment program.
Veterans organizations frown on
the current practice and anticipate
some trouble when the time comes
for the payment of merchandise
bought, particularly that acquired
on 1. o. US. Neither the adjusted
compensation certificates nor the
baby bonds are assignable and, con-
sequently, cannot be transferred to
liquidate a debt.
Builders Seen Aided
These organizations, viewing such
arrangements as purely transaction
between the veteran and the mer-
chant, are not expected to lend any
assistance to merchants in running
down elusive debtor.
1t is calculated, on the basis of
an American Legion survey, that
approximately 81 1884 100000 of the
81 1886 100000 total bonus money will
find its way into the business stream
Of the country. The difference be-
tween the two figures represents the
amount of baby bonds which is ex-
pected to be held by veterans until
The building field will reap large
share of the benefits from the bonus.
Around $220,0Oo,OOO, it is estimated.
will be utilized for the building of
new homes and repairing of those
now standing.

PERSUASION VERSUS
FORCE

Elmer Heald's tactics in eliminating
slot machines have been especially in
teresting. Usually, so-called drives
are resorted to in efforts to do away
with the copper cent-odds-against-you
contraptions. Public officials seem to
become aware OF The nuisances sudden
ly and, assuming righteous indignation,
order police to find the machines and
bust them up. After which public dem
onstration, all Is silent for couple Of
years while the slot machine trusts reap
their harvests.
Heald has gone about the job en-
tirely differently than we have ever wit
messed before in any community. He
warned the owners and the operators. At
first we were skeptical. 1t was all so
different from the grandstand play of
the accepted method. Instead of desist-
ing in the efforts to clean out the county,
Heald has held steadily to his purpose.
Which means, apparently, that he
expected to not only get them out but
keep them out, accomplishing his pur-
pose with all possible consideration for
everybody concerned.

4 QUICK WAY OUT
IF 1T rs POSSIBLE

The door was opened on a most I'M
portant phase of the power development
program when F. O. Dolson, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the South
ern Sierras power company testified
during the recent hearing before the rail
road commission, that his company
would consider selling out lock. stock
and barrel.
Many of the countless steps involved
in the power development and distrfbu-
tion program-many of which steps Of
fer danger of delay are directly or
indirectly traceable 10 the power COM
pany.
1t is more than possible that in sur
mounting these obstacles. years can be
consumed, whereas every day and every
month is extremely important in bring
ing this program to completion. Because
of the immenSity of the undertaking, the
countless contingent problems including
financing of drainage system, power
plants and distribution system, offer
sufficient problems.
In itself gigantic, the undertaking Is
beset with engineering, financing, and
political troubles aplenty. These are
further complicated by the contingent
effects of the power company's efforts
to protect its investment.
Much delay in the realization Of the
program can be eliminated if deal can
be made to buy out the power company's
holdings here. Obviously, a fair price
and figure should be the consideration.
Either the district can proceed TO
battle out these lengthy legal steps and.
when ultimately successful, engage in
a power distribution battle, or it can
buy out the companys distribution lines
and equipment and thus eliminate long
delay and expensive legal battles and
power competition
As it will be necessary to duplicate
at district expense much of the cOmpa-
nv's facilities, it would obviously be to
the advantage of everyone concerned to
buy out the company, do away with the
distractions which they have placed in
the way of the program, and take over
their interests at such time as power is
ready.
This is, of course, assuming that there
is an equitable price placed on the prop
erty. and the only way to find out is to
start negotiating to see if they will be
reasonable in the matter. If they won't
we need not buy. We can go right
ahead in the manner prevailing at this
time If they will be reasonable, then
we can purchase and thus make the
largest single step in recent years.
There's only one way to find out If
there can be a meeting of minds with
the company. and that is to open the
doors for such negotiations as soon as
possible

If it be true that hope deferred maketh the
heart sick, then Alberta's once-hopefm con-
vertS to social credit must be feeling distinctly
downhearted. After much side-stepping and
sparring for time, Premier Aberhart has an
nounced frankly that citizens Of the province
must wait at least another year before the
wheels of social credit be set into motion
If ever they TO be set in motion.
Even the preliminary step of registering AL
vertas eligible for social credit dividends is post
poned indefinitely.
We have set the whole thing aside for the
time being" the premier relates. Last autumn
when We said We were preparing registration
forms and would be sending out soon. were
not counting on having Major c. H Douglas,
founder Of social credit come to Alberta
But the voters Of Alberta delegated Mr..
Aberhart not Major Douglas as the one to put
social credit into effect in that province. When
the future premier was wagng his successful
campaign on a social credit platform, he gave
the impression that he knew what social credit
means and that he could make it work. He did
not warn tine voters that he wouldn't even
know how 10 send out registration forms unless
he had the major at his elbow.
Social credit may be more than a bit of all
right. economically and sociOlogically speaking.
It may be the answer to all, or most all. our
