Tases and Expenditures Running Neck and Neck;
 But Watch for Big Stop
Forecast Mode. by. Senator as to Whdt Con qress MdY Suddenly Do-Then RegiIne Will Get So Tight It Will Make Coolidge Look Like Spendthrift
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 2. = Don't come crying around few years from now and say you weren't told. You are now being told-in the words of Senator Ashurst of Arizona:
 Taxes will be, to say the least, moderately heavy during the life time of all persons now in exis- tence. Taxes may be reduced only by reducing expenditures. The rem edy for heavy taxes is somewhat within the hands of the taxpayers themselves. If and when taxpayers quit the practice of telegraphing Congress for more appropriations, and begin instead to telegraph Con- gress to vote against appropriations, Congress will grant relief from heavy taxes.
 But I do not entirely despair. There are in this word some laws that may not be repealed. such as the law of the survival of the fit test, the law of supply and demand, the law of compensation, and the law of reactions. Even if Congress should refuse to grant relief from excessive taxes, the law of reac- tions would ultimately do it's per- feet work
 "As rapidly running river will create Instructions for itself, like wise an era of prodigal expendi- lures will be followed by economy to the point of parsimony.
 T therefore declare to the Sen ate, as said last autumn in my addresses to various civic organi- cations, you are wise in getting money from Uncle Sam's treasury
