$2O,0OO, Debt Increase in Slump

But what of the other point-that the government has taken money in taxes from the rich and given 1t to the poor? That is @ widely held be- lief. Yet 1t is not true. As for taxes in the upper brackets, the very high ones have been increased some. And corporations taxes have been slight- ly raised. But no part of the bil- lions paid out by the government for recovery and relief have come out of these taxes. The relief payments have all been made with money borrowed by the federal and state governments. The recovery expen- ditures of the federal government alone have amounted to about TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS. And every dollar of 1t has been bor- rowed. We still owe 1t. The gov- ernment still has to find this money some way and some day. And of course the only way is by taxes.
 This is not the most serious face of this picture. have said the tax bill for the last fiscal year was $l2,600, 100000. But what is it go- ing to be in the future2 Remem- Der this figure represents the tax bill. But 1t does not represent the cost of the government, We spent

Two Bands and Vocal soloist
 Engaged for october 9 to 9
 It seems as if music was Q nces- sary part of e Fair and the officials of the Danbury Fair try to leave nothing undone, so far as possible, to give enjoyment to patrons. John R. Eacon, who has charge of this feature, has engaged the Lampham Band, of New York city, and the New Departure Band, of New Bri- tain, to play ct the Danbury Fair grounds from Oct. 2 to Q. Miss Mil- dred O'Doone, soprano singer, will be heard with the Lampham musi- clans.
 Both organizations have reputa- tons won by their splendid per- fornances and earned by their long apd efficient practice together. They will be heard in the big tent and in front of the grandstand.
 Programs arranged include airs that put punch into the occasion; {; put new vigor Into folks, rhythmS that give swing to ones stride and cadences that soothe and comfort.
 The tank in october air and the lit of the band music are strong features in the popularity of the Fair.
 Steel Pier at Atlantic City, Coney Island and other well known resorts have enjoyed the playing of these same Illuglcians.

@ lot more than we raised by taxes. The federal government, the states, the cities and towns all did Q lot of borrowing.
 Tn 1886 we spent about $i7,399,- ,- 100000. Now of course 1t is hoped that we may do away with relief ex- pendltures. And hopeful people imagine that will lower our govern ment expenditures and hence our tax bill. But the Twentieth Century Fund estimates that, assuming, we discontinue relief gradually, by 1889 our total government cost-federal, state and local-will be $l6,6l0, ,000,- . 900 and by 1e40 1t will be $l7,- $50 0,000,000, or right back where 1t was in 1886, and that with heavy relief cuts. If relief expenditures continue then 1t is estimated that by 1940 our government costs will be between 9l8,000,0 ,000, 900 and $22,- oo0,00o,0oo. The prospect Is appall- ing.
 But we will not get away from thinking about 1t for very long. For the mills of the gods are grinding and, suddenly, we will be aware that these mills are not stone rollers, but printing rollers and that they are grinding out bills-lnonstrou I. O.. U.'s-gigantic tax bills for us all.

WoEDRss REShG Who'll Be Elizabeth's Prince Charming?
Choices for Royal ConSort Are Extremely Limited

and the Duchess of Gloucester
 When a great religious ceremony of thanksgiving was held in St. Paul's Cathedral in honor of the silver anniversary of her grand father, the late King George V, she sat all through 1t. The same thing was true, of course, when her father was crowned King in Westminster Abbey last May.
 She has attended the royal gar- den parties in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, and she has had little birthday parties. of her own. But so far, she has not gone out to 8 real posh party given by some of her little girl friends. Nor has she been taken to one by any boy. Nor has it been noted that she danced with any.
 When such an occasion arises, there are quite a number of youngsters who might be in the running. There is little Nick Beaumont, son of Lord and Lady Allendale He has been a life long playmate of the Princess. When her parents were merely Duke and Duchess of York, they lived in a private residence at 145 Piccadilly. The Allendales live a door or two away. Nicky thus became both neighbor and friend.
 Another playmate of the Pic cadilly days was Luke, son of La- dy Annaly, an old friend of the then Duchess of York. When she is up in Scotland, the Princess has two cousins who are playmates, Fergus and Simon Bowes-Lyon. ' Cousin Likely First Escort
 But good bet would be that the first boy to take Princess Elizabeth to party will be her cousin, Gerald Lascelles, younger son of Princess Mary and Lord Harewood. Their elder boy, Wis., count Lascelles, is IA and new to the glory of Eton jacket and silk tile of the Eton student-and so above and beyond Elizabeth's ken. But Gerald is more near her own age. He was 13 in August and she was Il last April. And they are very good friends. On her last birthday he made her present of some very rare stamps-bought with his own pocket money; farther than which boylsh devotion cannot go.
 The question of 8 marriage of the little girl is still at least seven or eight years in the off1ng. It will be matter of tremendous importance for Britain, for the man she chooses will be the Prince Consort 8 posi- tion not recognized by the British constitution, but one in which the occupant can play an important role in influencing his royal wifes course of action. Britons realized this fully when Queen Victoria married her cousin, the German Prince Albert, in 1840.

FAMOUS HARPIST
 TO APPEAR HERE

Salvatore De Stefano, world fa- nous harpist and Rita Orville, oper- atic soprano, will come to Waterbury Sunday afternoon, November 2, to present joint concert under the management of Esther Blankenburg. This promises to be an outstanding musical event of the early winter season. De Stefano is an exponent of the modern school and one of the most notable harpists of the present day. He has given New York concerts at Aeolian and Carnegie halls. Recently he made Pacific coast tour. Along with being a vir- tuoso MT. De Stefano is a com- poser of note. It has been said of the harp that 1t is seasoned, bril- liant, soulful art, and of him that Q recital by him is something not cas- fly forgotten.
 Miss Orville has received commen- dation from the press throughout the country. Of her the New York Evening World said, Rita Orville, soprano, presented 6 program of Italian, German, French and Eng fish songs last night at the town hall. In the six Gypsy Melodies by Dvorak, Miss OrvIIle sang with much understanding of text and displayed a feeling for both idiom of Dvorak and the subject matter.
