pressure is eXerted to keep Fedora
relief checks flowing out of the
machines that write them. When
a short time ago, 1t was announced
that WPA spending was to be cut
governors, mayors and other Off
cials cried to high heaven-and the
result was that the reductions were
not made and may not be made at
all this year.
Thus, viewing the situation
realistically, it seems certain that,
under present conditions, only hope
for a balanced budgt is more in
come, not less Outgo. More income
means either new taxes or higher
taxes. Officials are chary of both.
For one thing, the Federal govern
ment has adopted many new taxes
in late years; it is doubtful
whether there are many sources of
Importance yet untapped. And
every elective officer shivers wnen
he thinks of the possible political
explosions higher taxes could cause.
Easy answer is to boost taxes on
rich individuals, big corporations.
But taxes are already very high SO
far as these groups are concerned
many think they imperil prosperi-
ty by removing incentive and by
tending to prevent businesses from
building up reserves against
potential economii storms. And, be-
sides, it is statistical fact that il
all the really big incomes in the
country were taxed 100 per cent,
the resultant revenue would lack
a good deal of paying government
expenses.
AS a result, many observers, in
Guiding some within the Administra-
ion, feel that the tax base must be
broadened-that is, that exemp-
lions must be lowered so that peo-
ople of small and moderate means
pay direct taxes. But there a big
political problem arises. Office
holders know that millions of
citizens pay no direct taxes at all
feel, even though wrongly, that
hey are tax free. What attitude
would these people take at the polls
if the tax collector came directly
IN contact with them?

HIGHER TAXES
FORECAST FOR
AMERICAN FOLK

The judicial reorganization piO
posal has stolen the headlines fr IN
all other pending Congressional nc
tivities 1t will continue to hold the
headlines for some time to cone
But, once that matter is ended a
number OF other questions of very
direct interest to the American peo-
pie will be up for debate. One Il
those questions can be expressed in
one ominous word: Taxes.
No one wants more taxes or
higher taxes. Chairman Harrison
of the potent Senate Finance Com
mittee recently calculated, God
fnOws taxes are high enough now."
Spokesman for industry express
similar emotions. Yet, as Business
Week says, Much heavier Federal
spending is definitely due and high
er taxes on corporate and individual
incomes are definitely under con-
sideration by the Administration
Two incidents-one a matter OF
cold fact, the other a matter of
factually-supported Opinion-can be
cited to show the way the wind
blows. First of these incidents has
10 do with income tax forecast of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Before March Is, the Bureau antici-
pated that 100000 people would
fill out blanks. Here it underesti-
mated-well over that number
struggled through the forms and
sent them in But the Bureau also
forecast that it would receive about
S840, ,000. 900 in income tax payments.
Here, according to Times it seem
ed to overestimate. Bulk of all
Payments are in by the Goth of
March-yet on that date payments
totaled only $3.50, 100000. And ever
though this represents great in
crease over last year, it means that,
in all probability, Federal income
for the fiscal year will be hundreds
of millions of dollars short of ex-
pectations.
Second incident is found in the
nuch-publicized statement of Chair
man of the Federal Reserve Board.
Eccles in a New Dealer and he is
also banker and economist with
d reputation for hard headedness.
Gist Of Mr.. Eccles statement is
that it is absolutely essential to re-
covery and stability that the burget
be balanced and that Federal debt
ne reduced-either by cutting ex-
Denditures or increasing taxes.
And practically every economist of
note has been busy issuing warn
lngs that unless such a program is
adopted, ruinous initiation is COM
ing fast
At the present time, Federal
spending is at record high. The
government is putting out, on the
average, $5S3, 900. 900 per month, as
against s552.OO0,0OO, s545, 900, 900
and 533,OOO,O00 for 1886, 1886 and
1884, respectively. The outlook
for materially reducing spending is
extremely black. AS the U. S. News

Latest Facts On This
Serious Situation

Leading tuberculosis authorities
call tuberculosis the foe of youth"
says Miss Jessamine S. Whitney, stat
istician of the National tuberculosis
Association, "but l go even further
and call it the foe of girls and young
women. Why? Because the deaths
from tuberculosis among them are one
and one-half times as many as those
among their brothers of the same
age"
The death rate from tuberculosis
has been cut to less than one-third of
what it was thirty years ago when it
was the leading cause Of death. Yet
when we analyze these deaths we find
that tuberculosis is still the leading
cause of death for men and women be-
tween Is and 46 years Of age and we
also find that among young women
between 16 and 80 one in every four
deaths is from this highly contagious
disease.
Miss Whitney in answering aVhy
tuberculosis is twice as prevalent
among young women as among young
men says, "No one knows. Today it
is an outstanding mystery in public
health"
In an attempt to solve this mystery
the National tuberculosis Association
made careful study of the life his

affect their health because 35 per cent
