S4,207,930 Deficit
Seen by Donovan
Without New Taxes
Official First Witness
At Hearing on 1910
District Budget

The District government may 60
into the red in the coming fiscal
year to the embarrassing extent of
s42O7 800 unless Congress comes
to the rescue with new revenue rails
ing legislation. Maj. Daniel J. DON
ovan, auditor and budget officer, to-
day told the District Appropriations
Subcommittee of the House.
Mai. Donovan, together with the
Commissioners. were the first wit
nesses to appear before the sub
committee as it began long delayed
hearings on the 1910 District budget
calling for appropriations totaling
1900 900.
The serious picture of the Dis
tricts prospective financial plight
was contained in carefully pre-
pared statement the auditor read
to the subcommittee Even at the
close of the current fiscal year.
June 30, he explained, the District
treasury will be short by sl98 030-
a deficit that inevitably will run
up to S40000O0 or more within
another u months unless offset by
additional revenue from new tax
sources.
Maj. Donovan pointed out. how
ever, a new tax-raising program al
ready has been drafted by DR.. Ches-
ter B. Pond, New York tax expert.

of another House group-the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the District
Legislative Committee. Adoption of
this plan, the heart of which is a
combination retail sales-personal in
come tax, he said. would not only
preclude the anticipated huge deficit,
but probably also would provide a
comfortable surplus in the l94l fiscal
year.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that the
new tax legislation is needed be-
cause at the close of the present
fiscal year the business privilege tax
on gross receipts is to expire auto
matically and the prevailing SITS
tax on real and personal property
40 cSAlSAuACu W 4ClO1l W lllC p1 ~
rate OF several years ago. These two
changes in the tax structure, he
said, will reduce the potential gen.
eral fund revenues in the 1910 fs-
cal year by $5,30O,O0O.
The condition OF special fund &C
counts. such as those which contain
the gasoline tax and water receipts,
also was discussed by Maj Donovan
in an effort to give the subcommittee
members, four of whom have never
before handled District budget, a
complete picture of the fiscal situa-
ton as background for their study
of appropriate requests. Represent
ative Ross Collins. subcommittee
chairman, is the only member who
has had previous experience with a
District budget.

in their EMPLOY regardless of their
unlawful cOnduct-to invest those
who go on strike with an immunity
from discharge for acts of trespass
or violence against the employers
property which they would not
have enjoyed had they remained at
work. Apart from the question of
the constitutional validity of an en-
actment of that sort, it is enough
to say that such legislative inten-
ton should be found in some
definite and unmistakable express
sion. We find no such expression"
Dissenting in part, Justice Reed
and Justice Black declared that
whether an employer should be
compelled TO find worker guilty
perhaps of sabotage depends on
the circumstances. 1T is the func-
ton OF the board to weigh the
charges and counter charges and to
determine the adjustment most con-
duclve to industrial peace" they
said. Courts certainly should not
interfere with the normal action of
administrative bodies in such cir
cumstanceS. Here. both labor and
management have erred grievously
IN their respective conduct. It can.
not be said to be unreasonable to
restore both to their former status,
Such restoration would apply to the

ployeS who aided and abetted them
Justice Stone. who concurred in
part with the majority. said he
believed that employees who aided
and abetted the sit-down strike but
who had been discharged should
nave been reinstated. According to
the testimony in the Fansteel case
the Amalgamated Association of
iron, Steel and Tin Workers of
America organized a union there
in July. 1886 In September the
union, c. I. o. group. sought a
contract but this was refused. In
