DEFENSE TAXES
TO START TODAY
Almost Everybody Called
on to Pay Something to
: Meet Expenses

Washington, July - CUP. -
The American public begins paying
today for record peace-armament
bill as the government enters its
18th consecutive fiscal year 'in the
red"
Few citizens will escape contrib
uting their share-whether large or
small-to building up the nations
defenses. The rich will pay largely
through increased income levies:
the poor through heavier taxes on
cigarettes, gasoline, amusement,
admissions and other so-called
luxuries, effective today.
The new levies were imposed by
the emergency tax bill which Pres
ident Roosevelt signed last Tues
day.
|. The higher income tax schedules,
including 10 per cent supertax,
apply to this years income for
which returns will be filed next
March. The exemption for single
persons is lowered from $1,000 to
$500 and for married persons from
$2,5C0 to $4,000.
Excise tax increases range from
10 to SO per cent. The tax on cigar
cites is increased by one-hah cent
a pack; the gasoline levy jumps
one-half cent gallon, and amuse-
ment taxes will be imposed on all
admission tickets costing more than
20 cents at rate of one cent for
each 10 cents instead of the nat
10 per cent rate on admissions Of
40 cents or more.
Ends with Deficit
Preliminary treasury figures show.
ed that the government ended the
1910 fiscal year last night with q
deficit Of approximately $685.. 000,-
600, the 10th consecutive year end
ing ain the red" The speed with
which congress passed the new tax
bill and appropriated vast funds for
defense has made it impossible to
estimate the 1871 fiscal years def
cit, but 1t is expected to reach
sizeable proportions.
Despite the unfavorable outlook,
government fiscal experts said that
income during the past year has ex-
ceeded expectations. Revenue had
been estimated at $5,704, 000. 600 but
actually reached $5,874000, 900, ac-
cording to preliminary figures.
The national debt was estimated
at $42, 900 900, 900. It would have
reached the statutory $4,000. 000.-
600 maximum about next February
but the defense tax bill also author
lied raising the limitation to $40
600 ,000, 900.
Perhaps the most noticeable feat
ure Of the 1910 fiscal year was the
tremendous influx Of gold from the
war-jittery and belligerent Euro
pean nations. A year ago, the gov
eminent owned not much more
than $4,000, 900, 900. BY the end Of
the year, its holdings had increased
to almost $4,000, 100000, a gain Of
IS per cent.
