TAXES:

With the pay-as-you-go bill now

to meet the administration request
that new tax measures be undertake
en- as a means of closing the infla-
tionary gap caused by the nations
tremendous purchasing power.
While President Roosevelt had left
up to congress the type of new taxes
to be adopted before summer recess,
he expressed his opposition to gen.
eral sales tax on the grounds that
it would impose too heavy burden
on the poorer people. While COM
pulsory savings plan is not neces-
sary now, the President indicated
that ultimately combination of en-
forced savings and taxes would be
required to meet his original budget
request for 100000 in new
revenue for fiscal 1914.

TIGHTER BELTS:
Forecast for ~

Somber warning that American CT
villains may have to tighten their
belts in 1914 was sounded by the
bureau of economics of the U. S.
department of agriculture.
The bureau in a review of the cur
rent situation said that while there
are enough rationed foods on hand,
together with expected production to
maintain present eating levels for
the remainder of 1913, the outlook
for 1914 may not be so favorable.
The review stated that vegetable
production is running about 10 per
cent below last year; that early
freezes have cut crops of apricots,
cherries, peaches, plums and prunes
materially below 1912. Supplies of
eggs next fall and winter will be
considerably below current levels"
the review added, while livestock
may be adversely affected.

SUBSIDIES:
Grange Head Den,urs

Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange, predicted that if the
government employs subsidy pay
ments to roll back food prices, "the
nation is headed directly for infla-
ton and inevitable chaos"
The farm leader added that in his
belief, a system of price controls
by subsidy would lead to a food
shortage for America and her allies.
Testifying before a senate agri-
cultural subcommittee, the Grange
master predicted that 10 per cent
roll back in the retail prices of but
ter and meats, already ordered,
would discourage production. "There
are indications already" he said,
"that the butter and milk output
are being reduced substantially"
Mr.. Goss commended that instead of
the present price control system as
a control of imitation, an effort should
be made to bring supply and de-
mand into balance.
