Western trip.
Miscellaneous taXes-on liquor, to-
bacco, gasoline and a score of other
items-are expected generally to pro-
duce less than the $2,279,453, ,099 they
raised in the last fiscal year. The tax
on liquor has been increased from 81
to $2.25 a gallon, but the Treasury
does not expect much better revenue
from it. In the last year the recession
made little dents in revenue from such
staples as cigarettes and tobacco, but
yield from taxes on automobiles, tires,
trucks, refrigerators and other goods
declined substantially.
Several Excuses Dropped.
Congress repealed excises on sew
eral items. including toothpaste and
matches.
Since the recession also has thrown
approximately 4,OO0OOO workers out
of jobs social security and railroad re-
quirement taxes may decline. Both
of these levies are geared directly to
pay rolls. Last year social security
taxes brought in $6O4, ,448,645 and
railroad retirement $l5O,131,98l.
A possible exception to the down.
ward revenue trend is customs duties,
which were affected last year when
America curtailed merchandise pur-
chaSeS abroad A business revival
here might increase raw material i'm
ports and possibly raise tariff duties
above the 1859, ,249 produced last

The Governments mathematicians
estimated today the business recession
would cause a $75O,OOO,ODO reduction
in Federal revenue in the fiscal year
which began Friday.
They calculated that taxpayers
poured $6,241 .661 ,226 into the Treas
ury in the last II months That
total, based on 1887 earnings, was
the largest in 18 years.
Treasury officials predicted that
even with sharp upswing in the

come would be at least 10 per cent
below the 1887 total of 500 900 900 900.
