Recommendations

Temporary miscellaneous Internal
reDenue t1IeS-I recommend that
the Congress take steps by suitable
legislation to extend the miscellan-
eous internal-revenue taxes which
under existing law will expire next
June and July, and also to maintain
the current rates Of those taxes
which would otherwise be reduced
next June. I consider that the reve-
nue. from such taxes or its equiva-
lent Is necessary for the financing of
the Budget for 1910.
Postal receipts-The estimates of
appropriations for the Postal Service
included in the 1910 Budget are pre-
dicted upon the enactment of legis-
lation to provide for the continuance
during the fiscal year of the Scent
postage rate for flrst-class mail
other than for local delivery. While
the Government collects more than
1t spends on flrst-class mail, the
Postal Service is not self-support-
Ing because 1t carries other classes
OF mail at less cost.
Civilian Conservation Corps-The
Civilian Conservation Corps has
demonstrated its usefulness and has
met with general public approval.
1t should be continued beyond June
30, 1910, and I recommend that
Congress enact during its present
session the necessary legislation to
establish the Corps as permanent
agency Of the Government.
Review of the Fiscal Years 1888 and
1889, and the Fiscal Pro-
gram for 1910.
This review concerns the cash

receipts from income taxes were
SAT- ,091, 900 in excess Of the amount
collected from that source in 1887
while miscellaneous internal-reve-
nue taxes were $98 ,235 900 more. The
amounts collected from payroll
taxes under the Social Security and
Carriers Taxing Acts were $502,-
OTIS 900 in excess of the amounts col
lected from the same sources during
1887. Approximately the same
amounts were received in each Of the
Two years from the tax on unjust
enrichment and from miscellaneous
receipts. On the other hand, the
revenue form customs during 1898
declined $127, ,169, 900 from the 1887
collections.

for recovery and relief purposes, ST.
750,000,000 is the amount estimated
for expenditure by these three agen-

Table for Taxation
On 10 10 90 Billion
Income Submitted
Defense Appropriations
Take q Huge Jump
In 1910 Requests

The Presidents budget message
follows:
70 the Congress OF the United
States:
Pursuant to provisions of law,
transmit herewith the budget of the
United States Government for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1910,
together with this message, which
Is an integral part thereof. The
estimates in this budget are based
upon a continuation of all taxes
now in force and upon careful
analysis Of the existing obligations
and future needs of the Govern
ment. I, therefore, recommend ap-
preparations for the purposes speci-
fically detailed in the tables which
follow.
The Budget and the
National Income.
Taxation yields almost all of the
income of the Government, leaving
less than s per cent to come from
miscellaneous sources. Revenue
from taxes depends mainly on two
factors: The rate of taxation and
the total of the national income.
This holds true not only of direct
taxes on personal and corporate in
come but also of what are known
as ad valorem taxes or other forms
of indirect taxes, for the very good
reason that the volume and value
of goods produced or articles i'm
ported vary with the rise or fall of
the Nations total income.
taxation definitely by law. We can
not by simple legislative act raise
the level of national income, but our
experience in the last few years
has amply demonstrated that
through wise fiscal policies and
other acts of government we can
co much to stimulate it.
Today the Nations income is in
the neighborhood of go billion dol
lars year. A few years ago it was
much lower. It is our belief that it
ought to be much higher.
In order that you may know the
amount of revenue which the Gov
ernment may expect under the ex-
listing tax structure as the national
income rises, the following table
Is submitted. It shows the esti-
mated revenues which may be de-
nved when national income reaches
certain levels between $4,000 900, 900
and 100000, 10000

THE records of the Safety De-
partment of Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles show 20 fatal accidents
were caused by motor vehicles in
Maryland during the month of
July. There were 33 operators in
volved in these accidents; of those
charged with violations, ESQ of
these operators were credited with
operating too fast for conditions.
IF we are to reduce the number
of fatal accidents" said Commits
sioner w. Lee Elgin, 'Iet us con-
slider the maximum speed limit
safe only when weather and traf-
fic conditions are favorable and
when the vehicles being operated is
in good condition" "H any of
these conditions are changed the
speed of your car should be re-
duced."
The summary further reveals that
the seven months of this year has
ended with Is more deaths than
the corresponding period of 1898.
Ten, or $40 of the persons kill
ed were pedestrians. OF this num-
Der there were 5 children, were
stepping from in front of behind
vehicle, crossing at intersection,
no signal, and crossing not at in
tersection. OF the adult pedestrians
killed, was walking in road, right
side with traffic, working in road
way, crossing at intersection
against signal, crossing at inter-
section, no signal, and / crossing
not at intersection. Fifteen or 47%
were passengers, and seven or 22%
were the operators themselves.
Most of the accidents occurred
on straight roads at curves and
Intersections, on clear days, dry
concrete roads, and during the hours
of 2sA. M.-3 A. MT P. MS p. M.

Will Move Thanksgiving
Day Up

President Roosevelt is going to
move Thanksgiving Day up q week
this year, he said at press confer
ence Monday.
For the last six years, he explain
ed, a great many people have been
complaining that there is too long
an interval between the Labor holi-
day early in September and Thanks
giving Day toward the end of NO
vember. and that time Is too short
between Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. This sounds silly, he said. But
ne added that stores, working
people and retailers had proposed
that Thanksgiving be changed from
the usual last Thursday in Novsm-
Der. This year it would normally
fall ON November 80, and Mr..
Roosevelt has decided to issue q
proclamation setting aside Novem-
Der 20 as Thanksgiving Day.
He recalled that In the early DAYS
OF the republic day in October was
marked down for Thanksgiving and
that It was not until after the Civil
War that the last Thursday in No&
yemheE was selected.

Work Progressing On
New Bridge
Substructure Forty-Five Per
Cent Completed Majority
Employed Local Men

Work on the new Susquehanna
bridge, between Perryville and
Havre de Grace is reported as pro-
crossing rapidly.
Fifteen Of the fifty-two piers are
completed, twelve on the Cecil side,
and three on the Hartford side. The
main abutments on either side also
are completed. All of the other
piers are in various stages of
completion.
There will be five peirs in the east
channel, seven in the west channel.
thirteen on the island and fourteen
on the Hartford county side, with one
abutment. None of the pier in the
two channels nor on the island are
completed.
Approaches to the bridge will
come down to level at Ontario street
on the Havre de Grace side, and at
Aiken road on the Perryville side.
Total distance from those two points
will be in the neighborhood of two
miles. The bridge itself will be
about mile in length. Over water
clearance of the bridge at its high
est point will be eighty-nine feet
Because of the long approaches the
grade will be slight.
With approximately 600 men now
employed, seventy-five per cent. of
whom are from Hartford and Cecil
Counties, and payroll of nearly
$4,000 per week, the substructure
work on the new Susquehanna
bridge is full blast.
The substructure is in charge of
Robert G. Reitz, contractor, and re-
tails an expenditure of $968,712,
the original estimate of which was
$1,599,456.
The substructure work Is schedul.
ed for completion on January 18th,
1910. The entire project is supposed
to be finished by July 1910.
