RECORD TAXES
MEETING half
OF WAR COST
By GILBERT II. BAKER

Washington, Dec. 3I-(UP)-The
American taxpayer dug deeper into
his pockets during the calendar year
Just ended than at any correspond
ing period in his country's history,
and prospects are that he will pay
just as much, II not more, in 1914.
The average American. as an in
come tax payer. is now the govern
ment's greatest single source Of
revenue. From relatively small
number of persons who had to ac-
count to tie government for a por-
ton Of their income in the last
World War, the income tax rolls
of the country to-day have grown
to approximately s.,300,0"0 persons,
and the largest portion of these
within the past year.
This was brought about by the
tremendous increase in government
expenditures occasioned by the war.
In 1913, total war expenditures
were around 500, 600 .O0O, 900, an in
crease of better than So per cent
over the $52,50C, 000, 900 spent for
war in 1912. This has helped to
swell the total gross public debt
to around the $1,000, O0O, 600
mark, which Il "a times the gross
debt Of 1912, and nearly times the
debt at the end Of World War I.
Current expenditures for war pur-
poses are running close to $500, 000,-
600 day and the administration
has said half of these costs should
be met by taxation, and not left for
future generations to pay.
In 1943 the government asked the
country in two war loan drives for
approximately $4,000, 100000 and
$37, 000, DOC, 900 was subscribed, which,
with the regular war bond sales to
civilians made for grand total of
more than $4,000 100000 in long
term loans 70 the government. AS a
result of the combined total of
$1,000, 000, 900 over-subscribed in the
two drives, the secretary of the
treasury was enabled to postpone
the fourth war loan drive until early
in 1914.
However, later estimates revised
half of the war costs should be
borne by current taxation, President
Roosevelt asked congress for an in
crease of about $10,500 000,0 900 in adj
ditional taxes for the fiscal year
which begins July /, 1914. This was
predicated on the estimate that war
costs during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1914, would run about $780,
000, 000, 900 and revenues to meet this
would be about $38, 10000
However later estimates revised
downward the costs of war during
the current fiscal year to about
$92, 0OO, 900, 900, while estimated re-
ceipts during the period have been
revised upward and are now ex-
pected to be nearer SAL ,000, 900, 900.
The gain in both directions, TO-
gether witt approximately $2,000,-
000, 900 in new taxes, which is what
Congress seems disposed to grant;
will place the country fairly near
the presidents goal.
However, 1t is believed in some
quarters that the coming fiscal year
will see a deficit of about $41, 000,-
900, 900, which with the one ex-
pected for the current fiscal period,
would result in a public debt Of
around $235, 900, 900 900.

a completely spiritual institution,
