APPLICATION FOR
 SCHOOL GYM FUNDS
 TURNED DOWN, PWA

Mayor l.. w. Kilburn is in receipt of advice received yesterday from the Portland office of the Public Works Administration to the effect that the application made a couple of months ago by the city for a Federal grant of 45 per cent of the cost of building an auditorium gym nasium annex to the new school building. had been turned down.
 While the issue may not be a dead one for some future reconsideration the immediate necessity of trying to raise about $l2000 locally as the towns portion of the cost of the proposed project is thus eliminated and city officials may breathe more freely again.

economist, Z few weeks ago. Briefly,
Mr.. Keynes idea is this. Since the
war began there has been steady
rise in profits and wages. He esti-
mates that, In wages alone, more
than soc, 900 900 sterling will be
spent In the course Of q year. Goy-
ernment expenditure, which is now
not far below 2,500, 900 900 sterling
per annum, will probably go up
another billion before this country's
war effort has reached It's peak.
Normally, this immense expendi-
ture would represent an enormous
increase In purchasing power and
would cause an equally enormous
increase in the demand for goods
of every kind. If it were not for
two considerations, Of which one
Is taxation and the other is loans.
1t Is by means of these loans, which
Mr.. Keynes would like to make
compulsory ones, that he would pre-
vent the inevitable imitation result
ing from the growth of incomes and
from the unproductive character OF
most Of the work from which those
incomes are derived.
Industry today is overwhelmingly
engaged In the production Of war
material, and the citizen does not
want to spend his money on shells
or guns. He wants to spend it on
clothes or books or automobiles or
drink. and these are the very things
of which there is q shortage and of
which the price would inevitably 60
up, thus creating imitation.
Pay Not All in Cash.
It forced saving were introduced,
wages and salaries would be paid
in full, but not all in cash. Ac-
Evening star., 1939-12-08

cording to graduated scale, q pro-
portion would be paid in the form
Of blocked deposits in the post Of
nee. These deposits could not be
spent until after the war, but would
retain their capital value and be
regarded in every way as savings.
Interest at az per cent would be
paid on the deposits, which could
be unblocked only for certain spe-
cific purposes, such as for the pay
ment Of installments on hire-pur-
chase agreements or insurance pre-
miums and the like.
From these blocked deposits would
be deducted the citizens income tax,
and the balance, as I have said,
would be kept until the end Of the
war. It is not possible In the scope
of brief article to analyze ex-
haustively the figures of the plan.
It is enough to say that the per-
centage to be taken in income tax
and blocked deposits after q GER
tain small basic income has been
allowed for varies from 20 per cent
on incomes of f150 to 80 per cent on
incomes over $4,000 per ,ai1num.
It is not easy to figure what such
a plan would produce. but a conserv-
ative estimate puts the annual sum
at around f400,00O,O0O. Deducting
the amounts retained by the treas
ury for income tax, the balance,
unless blocked, would probably, In
fact almost inevitably. be swallowed
up in the war years by the higher
cost Of living and by imitation. At
the end Of the war, assuming that
the British emerge victorious from
it, these funds would be useful to

One point which is perhaps insuf-

1t is not difncult to imagine the

as I have outlined above offers to
the possibility of Communist propa-
ganda. Communism can take root

LONDON, Dec. 8 (CPA).-Au
the notices of the new income tax
assessments have now been dis
tributed and the unhappy taxpayer
is trying to get over the shock.
What with income tax at the new
rate of shillings in the pound
and a more steeply graded surtax
for incomes over FL 500 a year, the
average EngIshman and English
woman will find that there will be
an appreciably lower amount to
spend for Christmas than was the
case II months ago, bearing in mind
that the first tax payment at the
new rate Is due on January l, or
Immediately after.
To do the Englishman justice, he
grumhles, but he pays, and, al

able to finance the war by revenue
and by going into the market for
loans remains to be seen, but there
are people already who are begin
ming to say that taxation and vol
untary loans will not produce
enough money. When it is pointed
out that the World War Of a gen.
Grafton ago was financed in that
manner, they say that the burden
of that war is still heavy on the
shoulders of the taxpayer and i'm
mense sums are still being paid in
the form of interest on the loans
raised during that war.
This burden, they declare, may
just make the difference between
voluntary loans being enough to
supplement current taxation and
the necessity of raising money by
other than voluntary methods.
Compulsory Saving.
More than one plan for compul-
sorry saving of money which would
be invested in government securi-
ties has been outlined recently, but,
speaking generally, the plan which
has attracted the most careful at
tention is that put forward by John
Maynard Keynes, the well-known
