WASHINGTON WEEKLY SHORTS
Speed VioIator Denied Car

Tires BY Ration Board
The spine-chilling whine of a po-
lice siren not only means bad news
to an Grant motorist in the State
Of Washington, but it also means he
will get no tires for the duration.
That SOLDERING fact, Floris Nagel.
WORT, state rationing administrator
believes it is responsible for find
ing that since July % only one war
worker out of the heavily populated
defense area of King county was
convicted of violation of a traffic
law indicated "abuse of tires" and
thus denied tires.
All convictions for reckless driv-
ing, speeding or driving while drunk
are reported to the OPA and local
War Price and Rationing Boards.
Those convicted automatically lose
their eligibility status for tires and
recaps.
Church Socials Can

Sugarless socials are no longer

BY Roger W. Babson

Babson Park, Mass. Apr IL
have been asked now the govern
ment can continue to spend more
than IL takes In without going into
bankruptcy The first answer is
that the government can issue legal
currency. This is not true OF indi-
yiduals or corporations or even OF
municipalities or states. All these
four groups can be busted: but
this is not necessarily so for
federal government.
Government vs.. Private Enterprise
The above is an example Of the
confused understanding which ex-
lists among many people OF the
operation OF government as an en-
terprise. compared with the opera
ton OF private business as an enter
prise. The average person has
much difficulty in understanding
how the government can continue 4
financial policy which would be
rulnous to an individual or to a
business. We should also keep in
mind that our government is
separate legal entity and operates
on an accounting basis which Is
quite separate and apart from that
Of its people.
1t is not the government which
is short on merchandise and has a
well-filed till but rather our bust
nessmen and investors. The $50.
600 900 900 in bank deposits in the
country belong not to the govern
ment hut to the individuals. The
businessman is oYersold, not the
government We all know. that
Washington has been spending far
more money than II has gainfully
received from taxes. revenue du.
ties, and other sources. 1t will take
considerable time to raise sufficient
funds TO anywhere near balance ex-
penditures and income. Hence, our
government. but not necessarily
our businessmen and investors, will
continue operating upon a deficit
basis.
Since September 1889, when
World War IL got under way. Con
gress has appropriated 10 billion
dollars for armament and other pur-
poses. or course, not all OF this
has been spent Furthermore, re-
ceipts have been secured from tax
payments and other sources which
have paid about so per cent Of the
amounts actually expended so far.
In this connection. March income
tax receipts permitted the budget
to be balanced temporarily. Now,
however, greater deficits than here
tofore will shortly follow.
Our national debt is crossing the
old 65 billion limit. BY the end Of
the calendar year it will probably
be so billion. The debt will con-
tinue TO rise and will ultimately
reach much higher figures. Many
feel that we are headed for finan-
cial bankruptcy and ruin. WHY
not ultimately write it all off
through bankruptcy proceedings
and start all over again with a new
set OF books ?"-they ask.

L. S. Government Can Avoid
Bankruptcy Asserts Babson

tween the bankruptcy Of an indivi-
dual and that OF a government
Many honorable men have been
forced into bankruptcy by causes
over which they had no control
Faith among individuals in society

cumstances. IL would. however. be
very wrong for our people 10 de-
clare their government bankrupt

have no fear that 1t will be. l
continue to be an optimist on the
United States and Canada
The procedure which Washing
ton and Ottawa has been following
is taking care OF our rising debt.
This includes the low interest rate
which the debt bears. 1t is not
necessary for a government or an
individual TO repay a debt when
the interest charges are promptly
and repeatedly honored. In fact,
creditors seldom want repayment
when repayment is possible. They
prefer to remain invested in such
sound securities. II the interest
rate continues TO remain low. the
debt can easily be met for years to
come. Hence. holders OF govern
ment securities should not be fear
full OF the intrinsic worth OF their
investments.
Sales Tax Coming
The present rate at which tax
payers money is being spent does
not mean that the debt cannot BE-
reduced after the war ends, Fol-
lowing the close OF the war, the
budget can be balanced If the party
in power truly desires to do so.
My reason for this is not alone
that armament spending will de.
cline. The point is that we will
continue TO be taxed somewhat
upon a war basis long after actual
hostilities are over. This means
that a surplus should pie up In
time this could equal and surpass
! the national debt at the beginning
OF the war.
The government will continue
during the war to spend much more
than it takes in. To shorten the
deficit period, Congress is now

Varies Sports Records

Although gravity and the rota-
ton of the earth differ sufficiently
with latitude and altitude to make
or break many sports records, no
athlete or judge of athletic games
has ever been known to take them
into consideration, says Golfers.
For example, man can put the
shot farther in Bombay than in
Helsinki owing to the decrease in
gravity, and he can also throw it
farther east than west in any city,
owing to the earth's rotation.
